Gabechrism Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 So I was looking at my Macs (The real kind) and noticed something I hadn't paid attention to before and that being that using Clover on my Hackintosh with 10.10 or higher (I am using 10.11.4) we in Hackintosh land see a black background in the boot screen (Apple logo, progress bar) as opposed to the more Vanilla kind you get on a native Mac EFI (grey/white background) in the real deal. Is there any way to get that? And a little side note if there's a fix for native resolution within clover when it comes to my setup that'd be pretty nice to know (Samsung UD series 28" 4K/UHD monitor, Gigabyte Z97X-SLI mobo and GTX 970) Everyone loves a non stretched apple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabechrism Posted April 2, 2016 Author Share Posted April 2, 2016 Do you have web drivers? Well yes of course. They are working beautifully. I've also edited the original topic header to clarify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JahStories Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 "Old world" real macs shows gray background and logo "New world" real macs such as the "retina" models show black background with white Apple Hackintosh can do both, on enoch with "black mode" it forces black background I don't remember how to switch mode on clover... To switch mode on real macs there is a trick that changes model id on boot.efi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabechrism Posted April 3, 2016 Author Share Posted April 3, 2016 https://clover-wiki.zetam.org/Configuration/Boot#boot_customlogo I have some concerns over a lack of a progress bar under the Apple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabechrism Posted April 4, 2016 Author Share Posted April 4, 2016 you can take a look here... Good looking out man i'm sure this'll come in handy down the road but I don't tink it relates to my issue. I think it is simply the display as I can't get the native 3840x2160 to work with any bootloader. Even Windows own efi is running at 1024x768 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JahStories Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 a lot of pixels! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabechrism Posted April 4, 2016 Author Share Posted April 4, 2016 a lot of pixels! Yeah man gotta love it. I am surprised it only really took me a good 20 minutes to get used to how tiny everything was plus it behaves as a retina display in OS X. Currently I am running it scaled down to 3008x1692 and playing Sleeping Dogs (Feral Interactive very recently released a Mac port of the definitive edition) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JahStories Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Seems a pretty good game, but that's not the kind I prefer, I'm waiting for Uncharted 4... On Mac I really enjoyed the whole bioshock series, but the first is the best. btw I'm pretty sure clover can handle that resolution! And if you use clover to boot windows, you should even get a full resolution boot screen even on it. Have you tried adding it to the config.plist? if you did and it's not working you can take a look at this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
