Suggestion. Add option to localboot using custom wallpapers

[megaenderdragon]

Just like in the title. Some custom wallpapers don't show localboot, or other options, Like memdisk. Is there a way to show these options in custom wallpapers? Also, can you add an option to switch between wallpapers?

Add these following hbox definitions to your new theme.txt to show the hotkey tips. You can also change the position and color.

+ hbox{ 
    left = 30%
    top = 95%
    width = 10%
    height = 25
    + label {text = "@VTOY_HOTKEY_TIP@" color = "blue" align = "left"} 
}

Thanks

It worked. can you please add an ability to change between wallpapers in ventoy? Because Im fed up with changing json and txt file extensions manually. I think the best solution will be to add function to right left arrow keys to change wallpapers

This CI release add F5 Tools ---> Theme Select menu.

If you set more than one themes, you can swith between them with F5 Tools --> Theme Select menu.

Can you guide me on how to set it up? Should I name the files ventoy 1.json, ventoy 2.json etc? Or how

[ventoy]

You should use theme plugin to set more than one themes.
https://www.ventoy.net/en/plugin_theme.html

For example:

{
    "theme": {
        "file": [
            "/ventoy/themes/theme1/theme.txt",
            "/ventoy/themes/theme2/theme.txt",
            "/ventoy/themes/theme3/theme.txt",
            "/ventoy/themes/theme4/theme.txt"
        ]
    }
}

How to add more than 4 wallpapers? When copying the example and adding 2 more lines of "/ventoy..." it shows syntax error. IDK is this because I missed 2 "," or what?

[ventoy]

You should do some research about grub2 theme and json.
This option is to set theme not wallpapers. wallpapers is part of theme. theme contains wallpapers/fonts/icons......

Ok. Issue solved. I needed to add 2 more comas (,)

[megaenderdragon]

One more think though, when will the CI theme changing be an integral part of the next release?

[ventoy]

Yes.

[megaenderdragon]

Will you also keep theme randomization? It can be as an entry: select random theme on boot

[ventoy]

Yes.
But it should be noted that:
Which theme to use when boot and theme select are two independent different features.
When you set more that one themes, you can choose to use a fix theme when boot or you can choose to randomly select a theme when boot.
But no matter how you choose, you can dynamically change the theme with theme select menu after boot.
But the theme select menu only change the theme for the current environment, it's temporary and can not be saved for next boot.
