WinTux Dualboot Fullscreen GRUB Theme

WinTux GRUB Theme Preview Every time you boot up, make the choice. A fullscreen GRUB theme inspired by the Matrix - because choosing between Windows and Linux should look as cool as it feels. No more staring at that ugly default boot menu from 1995.

Install

Make the scripts executable (only needed once after cloning):

chmod u+x universal-installer.sh build.sh

Then run:

sudo ./universal-installer.sh

That's it. Script does everything - figures out your distro, installs what's needed, builds the theme, configures GRUB. Reboot and you're done.

Add --auto if you want zero prompts.

Works On

Tested on basically everything with GRUB:

  • Arch Linux
  • Ubuntu / Debian / Mint
  • Fedora / CentOS
  • openSUSE
  • Alpine
  • Void Linux
  • Gentoo
  • Solus

If your distro has GRUB, it'll probably work. Let me know if it doesn't.

What It Does

  • Auto-detects your screen resolution and DPI
  • Handles both ImageMagick 6 and 7 (no more version conflicts)
  • Custom icons for Windows, Linux, and advanced options
  • Scales properly on 1080p, 2K, and 4K displays
  • Works with both UEFI and BIOS
  • Zero manual config needed

Custom Install Options

sudo ./universal-installer.sh --auto                    # full auto, no questions
sudo ./universal-installer.sh -r 2560x1440 -s 1.5       # force resolution/scaling
sudo ./universal-installer.sh --skip-deps               # skip dependency install
