[rEFInd](http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/) is a boot manager for UEFI systems and scans for kernels & EFI at boot.

### Usage

1. Locate your refind EFI directory. This is commonly `/boot/EFI/refind`
though it will depend on where you mount your ESP and where rEFInd is
installed.

2. Create a folder called `themes` inside it, if it doesn't already exist

3. Clone this repository into the `themes` directory.

4. To enable the theme add `include themes/rEFInd-chalkboard/theme.conf` at the end of `refind.conf`.

Entries should be autodetected and shown with the proper icons.

Manual entry can be done via `menuentry` option.

Example:

```
menuentry "Windows" {
icon /EFI/refind/themes/rEFInd-chalkboard/icons/os_windows.png
loader /EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi
}
```

Other examples are in the `refind.conf` file.

September 1, 2018: Initial release of rEFInd-chalkboard.

September 16, 2018: Second release of rEFInd-chalkboard.
- This release increases all icon sizes to improve overall clarity and viewing ease.
- It replaces all of the icons, adding many additional icons in the process.
- It replaces the selection icon image to fit in better with the theme.
- The hand drawn font was redrawn to make it much more readable.
- New screenshots were captured using my new VirtualBox test machine to allow for much improved sample screens.
