Remove GRUB customization

[luqmannn]

How can I remove fancy GRUB customization without messing things up. So far I've tried disable certain part of code that related to the customization but ended up horribly wrong. After the reboot, it's either fail to start Light Display Manager or fallback to minimal BASH-like line editing. What line of code I should specifically comment out without messing things up? If anyone know how to do this, it would be greatly appreciate since I'm new to BASH scripting.

I have used the archlinux-tweak-tool to customize grub, for which you need to install the arcolinux-spices tool. You can add your wall paper.

@jcampbell4485 Is this the tool right?

[wilsonephillips]

That is the tool and it is listed in the AUR as archlinux-tweak-tool-git

You can also use the grub-customizer from the official arch repos.

@jcampbell4485 Is this the tool right?

Eric Dubois is the maintainer of the archlinux tweak tool and the github page is a mirror i think. It may have started out on github. I think wilson is right for the official AUR package. The development version is archlinux-tweak-tool-dev-git.

If you want to do it before install, you can eiher fork this repo or clone on a fresh install then edit the file before installing:

1. Open scripts/3-post-setup.sh (https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/ArchTitus/blob/main/scripts/3-post-setup.sh#L40)
2. Remove lines 40-52 (as of 2022-07-11 this is:

echo -e "Installing CyberRe Grub theme..."
THEME_DIR="/boot/grub/themes"
THEME_NAME=CyberRe
echo -e "Creating the theme directory..."
mkdir -p "${THEME_DIR}/${THEME_NAME}"
echo -e "Copying the theme..."
cd ${HOME}/ArchTitus
cp -a configs${THEME_DIR}/${THEME_NAME}/* ${THEME_DIR}/${THEME_NAME}
echo -e "Backing up Grub config..."
cp -an /etc/default/grub /etc/default/grub.bak
echo -e "Setting the theme as the default..."
grep "GRUB_THEME=" /etc/default/grub 2>&1 >/dev/null && sed -i '/GRUB_THEME=/d' /etc/default/grub
echo "GRUB_THEME=\"${THEME_DIR}/${THEME_NAME}/theme.txt\"" >> /etc/default/grub

It will then not install that theme.

If you already have this installed

1. Backup /etc/default/grub
2. Open /etc/default/grub
3. Comment out or remove the line GRUB_THEME="/boot/grub/themes/CyberRe/theme.txt"
4. Save and exit
5. Run grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
