Xenlism Grub Theme for NixOS

Installation

• Add this flake input to your flake.nix inputs

inputs = {
    grub-theme = {
      url = "git+https://gitea.homework.zip/shinya/Xenlism-Grub-Theme";
    };

    # More inputs ...
};

Important

If you switched your theme from systemd-boot to GRUB. You have to change your boot entry in UEFI or BIOS to GRUB. Because NixOS will otherwise still boot into systemd-boot.

• Then set GRUB theme to this package in your configuration.nix file

boot.loader.grub.theme = inputs.grub-theme.packages.x86_64-linux.xenlism-grub-theme-nixos-1080p;

Note

Just a side note, in case you are using stylix or something that sets GRUB theme for you. You will maybe have to set this option with lib.mkForce to make it override other value.

• You can pick from list of distros and resolutions that are present in the original repo

• To view all possible options run nix flake show git+https://gitea.homework.zip/shinya/Xenlism-Grub-Theme --no-write-lock-file this will display all possible packages to install

• To change theme you just have to change the package name in configuration.nix option like this:

boot.loader.grub.theme = inputs.grub-theme.packages.x86_64-linux.xenlism-grub-theme-[distribution]-[resolution];
