“rEFInd is a boot manager, meaning that it presents a menu of options to the user when the computer first starts up, as shown below. rEFInd is not a boot loader…” Source

Installation:

Open a shell and type the following

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install refind -y

Here is a decent theme I have found to make it a little easier on the eyes.

Regular Theme – Installation Quick:

Just paste this command in your terminal and enter your choices.

sudo bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bobafetthotmail/refind-theme-regular/master/install.sh)"

To further adjust icon size and font size, background color and selector color edit “/boot/efi/EFI/refind/refind-theme-regular/theme.conf” as root.

Installation Manual:

Clone git repository to your $HOME directory.

git clone https://github.com/bobafetthotmail/refind-theme-regular.git

Remove unused directories and files.

sudo rm -rf refind-theme-regular/{src,.git}

sudo rm refind-theme-regular/install.sh

Locate refind directory under EFI partition. For most Linux based system is commonly /boot/efi/EFI/refind/. Copy theme directory to it.

Important: Delete the previous theme installation before you proceed.

sudo rm -rf /boot/efi/EFI/refind/{regular-theme,refind-theme-regular}

To adjust icon size, font size, background color and selector color edit theme.conf.


sudo vi /boot/efi/EFI/refind/refind-theme-regular/theme.conf

To enable the theme add include refind-theme-regular/theme.conf at the end of refind.conf, and comment out or delete any other themes you might have installed.

sudo vi /boot/efi/EFI/refind/refind.conf
