[feature request]: rEFInd-compatible volume badge?

Open LRitzdorf opened this issue 1 year ago • 4 comments

As a rEFInd user, it would be neat if Ventoy provided a custom volume icon! This is documented by rEFInd, and basically just consists of placing an image at .VolumeBadge.png in the VTOYEFI partition's root directory.

Since space in VTOYEFI is presumably at a premium, here's how things look on my system:

  • 4.5MB free in VTOYEFI
  • 8.4KB for @ventoy's profile image, as an arbitrary example
    • Reduced to 2.9KB by resizing to 32x32 (matching the default rEFInd volume icons)

If this isn't worth doing, especially because of space concerns, I understand. In any case, thanks for making such a useful system!

For reference, here's what this looks like on my system (photographed externally, since there isn't a good way to take screenshots from within the bootloader). Arch and Windows are installed on my boot drive; the following three options come from Ventoy, and are badged correspondingly.

same problem, I installed ventoy on internal ssd, and I can't associate the icon os_ventoy

example but it doesn't work

menuentry "VTOYEFI" { icon \EFI\refind\icons\os_ventoy.png volume bd106a5d-9768-4879-9c2a-f3d8c0735df6 loader \EFI\BOOT\grubx64_real.efi options "ro root=UUID=322BE82D-B05C-424D-B794-F9EBDB3AC569" disabled }

@smerovingio This... is a feature request, not an issue report. However, if you want to quickly add an icon, copy the appropriate file to the root directory of your Ventoy partition as .VolumeBadge.png.
