How to have a custom Grub2 menu that is maintenance free

[Cavsfan]

Thanks Cavsfan, awesome!

Glad I could help!

Thought it was time to post a new screenie of grub.



It's the same picture because I like how the cyan and red look with that background.

@oldfred,
I did finally notice that there is an update-grub in Arch in the AUR.

But, on Arch I'm keeping everything default so I didn't install it.

If you have your customized grub on Xenial Xerus 16.04, with today's update to grub-pc the font location changed in /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme.

Instead of the font colors going after line 165, it's back up to after line 122:

122 echo "if background_image `make_system_path_relative_to_its_root "${1}"`; then"
123 echo " set color_normal=light-red/black"
124 echo " set menu_color_normal=cyan/black"
125 echo " set menu_color_highlight=red/black"

Just 3 OSs on my system now.

Finally a new pic on Arch Linux with white at the top and bottom, cyan as the normal color (box and inside the box) and red as the highlighted color.
Although that is hard to see from the picture; that is what it is.

I'm unable to edit the wiki right now so until that issue is resolved, I just post the only change that is necessary for 16.04.

It was from a previous post up the page a little.

I still need to add to the wiki newly released 16.04 and remove 15.04 as it's past EOL.

[Cavsfan]

I was finally able to fix the wiki to remove Vivid Vervet 15.04 and add Xenial Xerus 16.04 LTS.

Please let me know if you find any errors or problems.

I left out upstart with 16.04 because I was never able to successfully use it anyway.
Systemd is the way of the future and upstart will likely be phased out in the near future.

Kind regards
