Hey are you active at all? Looking to modify this theme but need to move the operating system selector on the screen, not sure how to go about it.

Hi, The theme looks great and I'm eager to run it, but the link is broken so I can't download it :(. I would happily provide a mirror for this theme if you'd like.

OrphanShadow

Shoot... erm, yeah, I could do with a copy myself as my site I was using for hosting seems to have deleted my file =| So either you can mirror it and ill append the link or Ill just grab a copy and host it somewhere more... reliable xD

misse

I would gladly grab a copy and mirror it.. but from where? :) If you get a hold of the package post the link and I'll give it another home.

OrphanShadow

Looks like that wont be neccesary. I grabbed a copy off the repo for Burg Manager, and I'm now hosting it on my Dropbox. Thanks for the offer of help though!

Thanks, I love it.

First of all: thanks a lot for the theme, is really cute and elegant. Can you add the Trisquel GNU/Linux icon? Like this, for example: http://www.art4trisquel.org/?p=931

After much annoyance, I was able to add a Trisquel icon. Steps: Download the icons: http://www.mediafire.com/?4a56ya8me5niu7p Extract the tar to /boot/burg/themes/fortune/icons/ (Probably as sudo) In /boot/burg/themes/fortune/icons/, edit the hover file and add: -trisquel { image = "$$/grey_trisquel.png:$$/large_trisquel.png" to the list. Do sudo update-burg and you should have it. :) Hopefully, I'll save someone the past couple hours of annoyance that I've had with doing that.

v1rati

The line should be: -trisquel { image = "$$/grey_trisquel.png:$$/large_trisquel.png" }

never mind, i made one myself. ill upload if anyone is interested.

any chance of a backtrack 4 icon? a black background with the white dragon would look amazing! heres the image to put on the background ;) http://img87.imageshack.us/img87/9639/backtrack.png

Hi! can i add your theme to the burg-manager ?

OrphanShadow

That would be cool :) Of course you can.

I'm multibooting on my netbook to see which O/S suits my needs best. I'd love to see icons for JoliCloud and MeeGo. :)

GRUB

How to install a grub theme:

  1. Extract the theme to /boot/grub/themes/

  2. Edit /etc/default/grub file. Find the line starting with "#GRUB_THEME" and change it to "GRUB_THEME=/boot/grub/themes/[THEME_FOLDER]/[theme.txt]" (replace [THEME_FOLDER] ; [theme.txt] is probably OK ; remove "[]" brackets)

  3. Run sudo update-grub
