# How to Install
> :warning: **Make sure you understand what you are doing. Installation of the theme can cause problems in your system if done incorrectly**
## Manual Installation (preferred method)
- Clone the repo
```
git clone https://github.com/harishnkr/bsol.git
```
- Copy the entire `bsol/` directory to `/boot/grub/themes/` or similar path depending on your distribution
- Change the `GRUB_THEME` line in `/etc/default/grub` file:
```
GRUB_THEME="/boot/grub/themes/bsol/theme.txt"
```
- For Fedora based systems only: Change the `GRUB_ENABLE_BLSCFG` and `GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT` line in `/etc/default/grub` file:
```
GRUB_ENABLE_BLSCFG="false"
GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT="gfxterm"
```
- Update GRUB with sudo privileges.
For Arch based systems:
```
sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
```
For Debian based systems:
```
sudo update-grub
```
For Fedora based systems:
```
sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
```
## Using Package manager
If you use Arch linux or derivatives, use this [package](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/grub-theme-bsol-git)
run `grub-install --themes=bsol` followed by `grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg"` both with `sudo` privileges.
## Configuration
### Choosing font
By default, the theme uses `victor mono italic` font. Alternatives are as follows:
- Victor Mono Regular 16
To change it, change the line containing the terminal font in the `theme.txt` file. To suggest another font, open a new issue.
## Troubleshooting
Some fixes for issues that may help are as follows. All feedbacks are appreciated
- Make sure this line is commented with a `#` in the beginning:
```
GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT="console"
```
- Change resolution with this line:
```
GRUB_GFXMODE="[x_res]x[y_res]x32"
```
(change x_res and y_res to your screen resolution, e.g. 1920x1080)
# TODO
- Update the packages on Pling.com, Gnome-look and Opendesktop sites
