Theming and location

[kaizaper]

Hello Aroman,
I'm having a lot of trouble with installing any theme since having used your install guide.
I really like the minimal theme by Evan Purkhiser (https://github.com/EvanPurkhiser/rEFInd-minimal). There is a guide included with the theme on the page, but I couldn't quite get it to work. Did you already make a guide on how to theme? If so, could you please point me to it? If you didn't, Would you be so kind to help me out please?

p.s. I already found out that for instance the install location is not the same as the rest of the internet.

Thank you for this incredibly easy guide.

Hi,

Not sure what problem you're specifically having with themes but I did write this up: #13

If the install location isn't the same as someone else's guide, just change it, no?

The location of the installation on my old MacBook (13-inch, Aluminum, Late 2008, Core2Duo) seems to be this:

"/Volumes/EFI/BOOT"

Now, I started editing the refind.conf file, but nothing seems to happen. After some reading I noted that a lot of instalations should have a "/Volumes/EFI/refind" folder. So, I did a quick copy paste action and created the folder. Since then another boot option turned up. This will let me boot up another instance of rEFInf with a limited amound of functions edited by me. The icons changed which is a big plus.

So as you might read I don't quite know wat I'm doing really...

Ah, the problem is almost certainly that you haven't mounted your EFI folder.

Check step #5 of the guide:

mkdir /Volumes/ESP && sudo mount -t msdos /dev/disk0s1 /Volumes/ESP/

Great tutorial. I got the theme in place, but can't seem to get the menuentry to detect Elementary. Any thoughts? Or if you could walk us through how you did your setup that would be incredible. Thanks again. Great work.
