## Installation with NixOS:
To use this theme with NixOS you will have to enable [flakes](https://wiki.nixos.org/wiki/flakes). Before you do this, please inform yourself if you really want to, because flakes are still an unstable feature.
First you will have to add grub2 to your `flake.nix` file as a new input.
```nix
# flake.nix
{
description = "NixOS configuration";
inputs = {
nixpkgs.url = "github:nixos/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable";
# Add grub2 themes to your inputs ...
grub2-themes = {
url = "github:vinceliuice/grub2-themes";
};
};
outputs = inputs@{ nixpkgs, grub2-themes, ... }: {
nixosConfigurations = {
my_host = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem {
system = "x86_64-linux";
specialArgs = { inherit inputs; };
# ... and then to your modules
modules = [
./configuration.nix
grub2-themes.nixosModules.default
];
};
};
};
}
```
After that, you can configure the theme as shown below. In this example it is inside the `configuration.nix` file but it can be any file you choose.
```nix
# configuration.nix
{ inputs, config, pkgs, lib, ... }:
{
boot.loader.grub = { ... };
boot.loader.grub2-theme = {
enable = true;
theme = "stylish";
footer = true;
customResolution = "1600x900"; # Optional: Set a custom resolution
};
}
```
## Issues / tweaks:
### Correcting display resolution:
- On the grub screen, press `c` to enter the command line
- Enter `vbeinfo` or `videoinfo` to check available resolutions
- Open `/etc/default/grub`, and edit `GRUB_GFXMODE=[height]x[width]x32` to match your resolution
- Finally, run `grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg` to update your grub config
### Setting a custom background:
- Make sure you have `imagemagick` installed, or at least something that provides `convert`
- Find the resolution of your display, and make sure your background matches the resolution
- 1920x1080 >> 1080p
- 2560x1080 >> ultrawide
- 2560x1440 >> 2k
- 3440x1440 >> ultrawide2k
- 3840x2160 >> 4k
- Place your custom background inside the root of the project, and name it `background.jpg`
- Run the installer like normal, but with -s `[YOUR_RESOLUTION]` and -t `[THEME]` and -i `[ICON]`
- Make sure to replace `[YOUR_RESOLUTION]` with your resolution and `[THEME]` with the theme
- Alternatively, use the `-c` option to set a custom resolution
## Contributing:
