Description: "Sleek themes for those who love Simplicity and Minimalism" Here I present you the "Sleek Grub-Bootloader Themes", Minimal, Modern looking and beautiful themes for your grub bootloader with different color options light, orange, bigSur and ....... yeah of Course 'Dark theme'. What if you can personalize your grub bootloader, What if grub bootloader greets you with " Hello [Your name] " . Yup, you have an option to display your name in the bootloader which you can enable during the time of installation...
All Four themes have an option of displaying names.
Installation: Installation is easy , extract the themes and execute install.sh script included with it as superuser ( sudo ./install.sh ) note: remove the "icon" folder which is located in sleek folder if you don't want icons to display
I hope you like these themes and keep using them forever but if you want to uninstall them: uninstall: execute uninstall.sh script included with it as superuser ( sudo ./uninstall.sh )

Disclaimer: This setup doesn't work with ZFS filesystem.Last changelog:
It isn't wortking at Fedora Linux 35 Workstation. I used 'sudo ./install.sh' like description says and script looks fine but after reboot there is no changes. I was reading comments to get any fixes but latest comment doesn't work for me. Is there a way to fix? Thanks in advance
I can confirm that it does not work with Fedora 35 even after applying that fix.
The line GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE="hidden" does not even exist in that grub file
Please forgive my n00b status but I am very new to Linux in general so bear with me as I am learning. So I love this GRUB menu and I downloaded, ran install.sh and it said it was successful but am I missing a step somewhere? The GRUB menu is not showing and i am unsure as to why. Many thanks!
No worries. Try installing manually. step 1: Extract the theme step 2: There is a "sleek" folder inside the extracted theme folder copy that "sleek" folder to /boot/grub/themes/ step3: Edit /etc/default/grup file. Find the line starting with "#GRUB_THEME" or theremight be "GRUB_THEME" without # and change it to "GRUB_THEME=/boot/grub/themes/sleek/theme.txt" step 4: run "sudo update-grub ". This is all what you need to set any grub theme. If you encounter any problem, feel free to reply
10Hi. Really nice theme.
Can you please add an icon for KDE Neon?
Also how can I remove the comma(,) after my displayed username? I just want it to say "Hello Username".
Hello @brilliantnetwork , thank you for your rating.
1) so inorder to add icon, Head over to the /boot/grub/grub.cfg and in grub.cfg file look for the " menuentry '[os_name]' --class [os_identifier]"
for eg: menuentry 'Parrot os' --class parrot , in this case grub search for the icon with name "parrot.png" in above case os_identifier.png. After you got that [os_identifier] place the icon in /usr/share/grub/themes/sleek/icons/ with name os_identifier.png
2) to remove comma(,): Head over to the /usr/share/grub/themes/sleek. There is a file named theme.txt. open that file with any text editor then somewhere around line no 13, there is 'text="Hello [your username]," ' for eg: in my case ' text="Hello sandesh,"' remove the comma after your name and save the file and restart your PC

10best theme, but may i add the distro icon that i use (langitketujuh OS) to icons folder in my downloaded file?
because langitketujuh icon is not available yet in icons folder
or maybe any chance you can add langitketujuh OS icon?
i have downloaded the icon from the official web (www. langitketujuh.id) , but the icon is in .webp format, but don't worry i have converted it to png, so you can download the png
thank you for your rating as well as for the icon. I have included it. I recently updated the theme. I would be very happy if you try it and provide some feedback.
after run the install.sh and I restart my archlinux, it does take effect，but my os can`t recognize my wireless network adapter，i can`t connect my wifi.。。
Sleek GrubBootloader themes [That greets you with your name] is part of Artwork (Icons, Cursors, Wallpapers), which is supported by the following people:
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)

sorry to hear that but install.sh only changes grub configuration, it doesn't make any other changes.
