I tried some guides mentioned in Poly light theme to change size fonts using grub-mkfont, but I just messed it up. Changing the theme.txt parameters didn't help either. Does anyone know of a proper way to increase the menu font size for this theme?

10 10 the best Very simple, clear and nice looking GRUB theme, for me it's in "must have" category for Linux devices I own by now.

10 Great theme, I love the minimalism. How did you change the row/item size. Mine seem to be quite small and I'd love to have them bigger.

IIRC it's in theme.txt: boot_menu -> item_height Details: http://wiki.rosalab.ru/en/index.php/Grub2_theme_tutorial and https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub/grub.html

Thank you for the easy way. :3

9 + Very nice. I swapped the background to a similar dark background with kde logo that came from a splash screen here and added my logo to the splash. Now I have a branded, unified boot up and when the screen goes through it's flashes to black, it's not too bad.

Nice theme!! Can you guys help me. My laptop screen is UHD so the info and icon are too small. Can someone help config the file to display better?

Dario

It's elegant, I like it, but the linux mint logo is lost, instead the logo appears gnu-linux.png

Shevchuk

Thanks. Theme provides Linux Mint icon, but it's up to system to actually use it. Icon is selected based on the *classes* specified for the menu entry in /boot/grub/grub.cfg (see http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub/grub.html#Boot-Menu). That file is autogenerated, but you can alter the generation process with files in /etc/grub.d This might give a clue: https://antergos.com/wiki/miscellaneous/how-to-add-icons-to-antergos-grub-menu-entries-mbr-legacy/ (this is for Antergos, but most of it is applicable to other distros as well).
