Fallout limine theme

For v12 of Limine

Note: This repo only contains additional theming elements and is not a replacement for Limine.conf. It is assumed that a working Limine bootloader is already set up.

CachyOS helper script

Thank you Darayavaush-84 for making this script. Last tested by @Darayavaush on Limine v12.3 and worked without any issues.

On CachyOS, you can use the included helper script to apply the theme and keep local backups outside of the EFI system partition:

./install-fallout-limine-cachyos.sh

The script opens an interactive menu, backs up the current Limine files next to the script, supports Secure Boot hashes when needed, and can restore the original CachyOS Limine config from its saved backup.

Manual Installation

Download the packages:

git clone https://github.com/Neptune3013/fallout-limine-theme.git

Copy files to Boot direcory:

NOTE: Back up the existing files in your boot directory first. On many systems, /boot is a separate EFI system partition and may not be included in filesystem snapshots.

The following requires Admin mode and assumes the boot directory is /boot.

• Copy background.jpg (or the high-res .png) and PHXEGA8.F14 to Boot directory.
• Copy the contents of Limine.txt into the beginning of Limine.conf in Boot directory. (it is safer to make a backup of the original limine.conf)

Edit Limine.conf

The following are specific to v12 of Limine (Last tested with v12.3)

If not using Secure Boot

Change the wallpaper:... directory to .png if using the High resolution version. No other changes necessary.

If Using Secure Boot

• Run sudo b2sum /boot/background.jpg and append the output followed by a "#" after wallpaper: boot():/background.jpg in Limine.conf (change it to .png if using the high-res. .png image)
• Run sudo b2sum /boot/PHXEGA8.F14 and append the output followed by a "#" after term_font: boot():/PHXEGA8.F14 in Limine.conf

It should look something like this:

wallpaper: boot():/background.jpg#1654643541984165196841356181561+8463516846516

term_font: boot():/PHXEGA8.F14#164684651984685416849684165198646541651616168465

(DO NOT COPY THE SAMPLE HASH SHOWN HERE, generate your own as instructed above.)

If hash string is not added, Limine will switch to its default appearance.

Note: If using Secure boot and hash string is not appended to the boot options, Limine will PANIC. So do not touch that part of Limine. This repo is only dealing with theming elements of Limine.

Additional config

I have provided descriptive comments within limine.txt in case you want to modify it to suit your taste.
