## Minimalistic rEFInd theme

[rEFInd](http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/) is an easy to use boot manager for UEFI

based systems. This is a clean and minimal theme for it.

### Usage

 1. Locate your refind EFI directory. This is commonly `/boot/EFI/refind`

    though it will depend on where you mount your ESP and where rEFInd is

    installed. `fdisk -l` and `mount` may help.

 2. Create a folder called `themes` inside it, if it doesn't already exist

 3. Clone this repository into the `themes` directory.

 4. To enable the theme add `include themes/rEFInd-minimal/theme.conf` at the end of

    `refind.conf`.

Here's an example menuentry configuration (from the screenshot)

```nginx

menuentry "Arch Linux" {

	icon /EFI/refind/themes/rEFInd-minimal/icons/os_arch.png

	loader vmlinuz-linux

	initrd initramfs-linux.img

	options "rw root=UUID=dfb2919d-ff78-48db-a8a7-23f7542c343a loglevel=3"

}

menuentry "Windows" {

	icon /EFI/refind/themes/rEFInd-minimal/icons/os_win.png

	loader /EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi

}

menuentry "OSX" {

	icon /EFI/refind/themes/rEFInd-minimal/icons/os_mac.png

	loader /EFI/Apple/Boot/bootmgfw.efi

}

```

Entries that are autodetected should also show the proper icons.

### Background sizes

If you find the background looks blurry it may be due to the included wallpaper

being an incorrect resolution for your monitor. You can download the [original

high quality wallpaper][wallpaper], resize it as appropriate, and replace the

`background.png`.

You can of course also choose your own background!
