🌸 Frieren GRUB Theme 🌸

GRUB theme inspired by Frieren: Beyond Journey's End — a mystical, minimalist feel with a runic touch.

📸 Preview

Installation

sudo ./install.sh

The script:

  • copies the theme into /boot/grub/themes/
  • automatically updates the GRUB configuration

Warning

⚠️ DO NOT blindly let the script modify your GRUB config.

The install script automatically edits /etc/default/grub and runs grub-mkconfig. Depending on your system configuration, this can break your boot entirely.

Known critical cases:

  • LUKS encrypted systems: enabling gfxterm (required for the theme) switches GRUB to a different keyboard driver. If your disk passphrase contains special characters (!, &, ', ~, @, #...), they may be interpreted in QWERTY instead of your actual layout — locking you out of your own system.
  • LVM on LUKS / custom initramfs setups: any change to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX may break the boot chain.
  • Multi-boot systems: automatic grub-mkconfig may overwrite or ignore custom entries.

✅ Recommended: review changes to /etc/default/grub manually, then run sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg yourself.


🧹 Uninstallation

sudo ./uninstall.sh

The script restores a clean GRUB configuration.


🖥️ Supported Resolutions

The theme includes several backgrounds:

  • 1920×1080 (Full HD)
  • 2560×1440 (QHD)

The script automatically picks the best option for your screen.


✨ Features

  • Animated runic progress bar
  • Custom icons (Linux, Windows, etc.)
  • Backgrounds for multiple resolutions
  • Understated, immersive style

🚧 Project Status

⚠️ The theme is not yet fully finished.

  • A few visual tweaks are still pending
  • Some GRUB configurations may still need tweaking

🔮 Coming Soon

A matching Plymouth theme (same visual universe, but a design adapted to the boot splash) is coming soon.
