   1 This is the Snowy theme for rEFInd (http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/). To
   2 use it:
   3
   4 1) Unpack the .zip file (which you've presumably already done).
   5
   6 2) Copy the "snowy" subdirectory to your rEFInd installation. rEFInd can be
   7    located various places, depending on your OS:
   8    * On most Linux systems, the ESP is mounted at /boot/efi, so rEFInd is
   9      at /boot/efi/EFI/refind.
  10    * On OS X, if you haven't configured the ESP to auto-mount, you should
  11      run the "mountesp" script that comes with rEFInd 0.10.0 and later.
  12      This will mount the ESP, typically at /Volumes/ESP, so rEFInd will
  13      probably be at /Volumes/ESP/EFI/refind.
  14    * On Windows, the ESP is not mounted by default. In an Administrator
  15      Command Prompt window, you can type "mountvol S: /S" to mount the ESP
  16      as S:. (You can change the device letter, if necessary.) rEFInd should
  17      then normally be S:\EFI\refind.
  18
  19 3) Open the refind.conf file in the rEFInd directory in your favorite
  20    text editor.
  21
  22 4) Locate and change the following lines in refind.conf:
  23    * icons_dir: Uncomment the sample or add a new line that reads "icons_dir
  24      snowy".
  25    * banner: Uncomment the sample or add a new line that reads
  26      "banner-snowy.png".
  27    * banner_scale: Uncomment the sample or add a new line that reads
  28      "banner_scale fillscreen"
  29
  30 You can swap out any element, including the banner/background image, as you
  31 see fit. The banner-snowy.png image is 1920x1080. If your display is
  32 another size, the image will be scaled to fit. If you see artifacts, or if
  33 your display does not use a 16:9 aspect ratio, you may want to load the
  34 file into a graphics editor to scale it or to crop it.

  36 This theme is derived from icons from several sources; see snowy/README for
  37 details.
