# Tokyo-Night for [GRUB](https://gnu.org/software/grub/)

![Linux](https://img.shields.io/badge/Linux-FCC624?style=for-the-badge&logo=linux&logoColor=black)![Arch](https://img.shields.io/badge/Arch%20Linux-1793D1?logo=arch-linux&logoColor=fff&style=for-the-badge)

> A dark theme for [GRUB](https://gnu.org/software/grub/).

Basically just minor tweaks of Dracula grub that I made to go along with my

[arch i3 rice](https://github.com/mino29/arch-i3).

This can adapt to various resolustions of screens, at least my 1080p screen

worked just fine.

## Compatibility

> It should be compatible with all linux distros that uses grub

But I only used ubuntu, fedora and arch  so far, so your mileage may vary.

## Install

Steps:

1. clone this repo or download the .zip

```bash

git clone https://github.com/mino29/tokyo-night-grub.git

```

2. Change directory 

```

cd tokyo-night-grub

```

3. copy the whole tokyo-night directory grub themes

```bash

sudo cp -r tokyo-night /boot/grub/themes

```

4. edit grub file

```

sudo vim /etc/default/grub

```

change `#GRUB_THEME=` to

`GRUB_THEME="/boot/grub/themes/tokyo-night/theme.txt"`

5. use magic and reboot

run this command

```

sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

```

then reboot and voila

## Potential problems and solutions

Oh oh, can't see grub menu or boot into arch linux?

Grub on Arch Linux can be a pain to deal with recently.

After I change the theme and reboot and cannot boot into my Arch Linux, had to

do a "chroot", but worry not, here's what you need:

- USB drive with arch iso

- 15 minutes of free time

- Stable internet connection
