Grub Customizer is a graphical interface to alter the Grub 2 settings without using the command line. It focuses on the individual list order without losing the dynamical behavior of grub. It is also usable on live cds.
The goal of this project is to create a complete and intuitive graphical grub2/burg configuration interface.
The main feature is the boot entry list configuration – but not simply by modified the grub.cfg: to keep the dynamical configuration, this application will only edit the script order and generate proxies (script output filter), if required.
Key Features
- Disables scripts – removes the execute flag.
- Moves scripts – generates new prefixes for the scripts to alternate its execution order.
- Move entries.
- Rename entries.
- Disable entries.
- Load the configuration.
- Save the configuration.
- Settings manager.
- Change the background.
- Change the timeouts.
