bsol's Issues

Font change affects the grub terminal font

Not sure if this is intended or if there is a way to fix this but the custom font in the theme also applies to the grub terminal, and is not the greatest when it comes to readability.

grub-install: error: cannot find EFI directory

I'm trying to install this grub them on arch.
sudo grub-install --themes=bsol

Results to this:

Installing for x86_64-efi platform.
grub-install: error: cannot find EFI directory.

EDIT:

Installed it manually and went smoothly
