Update Grub-Live Theme

[philmmanjaro]

We should start a GFX contest and update our theme once more for v18.0 series ...

Well @philmmanjaro @Oberon2007 what new wallpaper ship here ?

This ? We need a light background since our grub theme live is a little dark..
Other suggestions 😉

The wallpaper looks nice. Give it a try and create a new package for 18.0 series.

Indeed it does - I just tested it - it looks good as background for the installer.

Well .. i have already do the job.. only a question to prevent users questions .. Is a problem if this package remove the v17.x.x theme for installed systems ? You know or just let me remember you i have created the same grub theme also for installed system but without the "Welcome to Manjaro" in the top of screen.. We want keep all themes we created?

We have to look at the topic. Currently I've not established that the installed grub is themed with it. We may introduce it with v18.0, though. How is the package for installed systems named?

Then normal installed grub has no theme just a background - black with manjaro in bottom right corner. /usr/share/grub/background.png

I have made a couple of packages theming the openbox grub - mostly to streamline the booting and login experience.

• manjaro-openbox-grub-theme
• manjaro-openbox-grub-theme-18.0
• manjaro-openbox-grub-theme-blue

@philmmanjaro take a look here
https://github.com/manjaro/packages-extra/blob/master/grub-theme-live/PKGBUILD#L41
for now in our repo based on 17.x.x theme is grub-theme-manjaro pkg

Edit: pkgbuild is ready to build the 18.0 version .. for now you want a dev release?

grub-theme-manjaro-dev-18.0 is in unstable just now..
