  1. This is the Snowy theme for rEFInd (http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/). To
  2. use it:
  3. 1) Unpack the .zip file (which you've presumably already done).
  4. 2) Copy the "snowy" subdirectory to your rEFInd installation. rEFInd can be
  5. located various places, depending on your OS:
  6. * On most Linux systems, the ESP is mounted at /boot/efi, so rEFInd is
  7. at /boot/efi/EFI/refind.
  8. * On OS X, if you haven't configured the ESP to auto-mount, you should
  9. run the "mountesp" script that comes with rEFInd 0.10.0 and later.
  10. This will mount the ESP, typically at /Volumes/ESP, so rEFInd will
  11. probably be at /Volumes/ESP/EFI/refind.
  12. * On Windows, the ESP is not mounted by default. In an Administrator
  13. Command Prompt window, you can type "mountvol S: /S" to mount the ESP
  14. as S:. (You can change the device letter, if necessary.) rEFInd should
  15. then normally be S:\EFI\refind.
  16. 3) Open the refind.conf file in the rEFInd directory in your favorite
  17. text editor.
  18. 4) Add the following line to the END of your refind.conf file:
  19. include refind-snowy.conf
  20. You can swap out any element, including the banner/background image, as you
  21. see fit. The banner-snowy.png image is 1920x1080. If your display is
  22. another size, the image will be scaled to fit. If you see artifacts, or if
  23. your display does not use a 16:9 aspect ratio, you may want to load the
  24. file into a graphics editor to scale it or to crop it.
  25. This theme is derived from icons from several sources; see snowy/README for
  26. details.
