As a fan, I've wanted to create a GRUB theme for myself and then share it with the world for free (as in freedom).

Moment of Wow!

This theme has noticed on F1 Fan Voice Mercedes-AMG Forums! :)

Demo

Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team GNU GRUB theme

Installation (For Ubuntu 20.04)

1. git clone https://github.com/alisezisli/MAPF1-GRUB-Theme.git (or download the project as a zip)
2. cd MAPF1-GRUB-THEME
3. sudo cp -r MAPF1/ /boot/grub/themes/
4. sudo vi /etc/default/grub
5. Change the corresponding lines. If the lines don't exist, add them into file:
   • GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=menu
   • GRUB_THEME="/boot/grub/themes/MAPF1/theme.txt"
6. sudo update-grub

Installation (For other distros)

It's pretty much the same. But you might have to use some something else instead of sudo update-grub, like sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg.

Notes

This is my first GRUB theme and I'm sure it needs a lot of improvement. I've tested this theme with Ubuntu 20.04 in 1920x1080 resolution. Feel free to create issues and PR's.
