Hello.
I am trying to create a theme that suits my 4K monitor well. I don't want to use it in UIScale 2, because everything looks so big.
My main problem is with the background. If I put it in 3820x2160 resolution, in UISacle 1, it doesn't fit the entire screen. I have created a Background at a resolution of 7640x 4320, but then it does not load.
Does anyone know how to adapt a background to 4K resolution without using UIScale 2?

Attached the background in inns format and png. (seems black, but it is not black is flat color hex: #0A0A0B
Thanks.

 

On github page its clearly states what resolutions are supported.

It is possible that OpenCanopy.efi in later versions will use the same method that Monterey uses to represent users with animated icons and movement as they use keyboard or mouse such as being asleep or bored

I don't think so. As far as I have read, there isn't such implementation for the future.

Merry Christmas to everyone :)

 

I've added BsxSet4Revisted OpenCanopy theme to my repo which follows OpenCore's flavour system. It's based on the icon style from Set4 where the light comes from the top right producing a deep shadow (well deep enough to fit within the icon frame while trying to keep the icon a decent size).  The icons are on a transparent background so can be used on other backgrounds.

Hey all, need a little help!

 

I'm updating from 0.6.5 to 0.7.6 and took a long time but have it booting fine now. However OpenCanopy and GUI themes won't work. In the log file I get:

OC: Driver OpenCanopy.efi at 2 () is skipped!

and I can't figure out why. I've removed all customisations, redownloaded the files and double checked all settings. Anyone else have this problem?

 

I have:

  • Misc -> Boot -> PickerMode: External
  • Misc -> Boot -> PickerAttributes: 17
  • Misc -> Boot -> PickerVariant: Acidanthera\GoldenGate

and I have the most recent Resources in place and the correct version of OpenCanopy.efi. My screen is 5120x1440 by the way, this worked fine in 0.6.5 so I don't think it's the problem.

@kevpatts

Please complete your signature, so we know the hardware you are using and is easier to help you.

 

OpenCanopy driver must be from the same OpenCore package, same version. Do you have Enabled=true in OpenCanopy properties (Arguments, Comment, Enabled and Path)?

I love this theme and I hope to use it going forward, BUT, is there any chance of a background image that'll stretch across a 5120x1440 monitor?

Hey @kevpatts

 

What do you currently see when using the supplied background image? Can you take a screenshot? You will need CrScreenshotDxe.efi in \EFI\OC\Drivers then can press F10 in the UI to save an image to the root of your EFI System Partition.

 

Thanks

background.icns 8.13 kB · 9 downloads

-Create two seperate *.png files. One for 7680x4320, 144Pixel and 3840x2160, 144Pixel

-Convert to Background.icns using icnspack script included in Opencore Package inside Utilities folder.

 

Resize using Preview.app works for me well.

 

Try this

 

 Background.icns

Hello, I would like to ask, what is .contentDetails file, how should I create it, and what is its content?

 

Within macOS, you can create the file with the Terminal command 

touch .contentDetails

or

sudo touch .contentDetails (if the working folder is a system folder and it needs administrator privileges).

Yo can edit the file with the Terminal command

pico .contentDetails

or

sudo pico .contentDetails (if the working folder is a system folder and it needs administrator privileges).

 

The file is a text file containing only the name of the macOS volume. It must be located at /System/Volumes/Preboot/UUID-number/System/Library/CoreServices where UUID-number is the UUID of the APFS volume group where Preboot volume is located, you can do "diskutil list" and "diskutil info diskx" where diskx is the APFS Container Scheme.

AFAIK, there has been no change with font support in OpenCanopy.

hey blackosx. With still no movement on the part of the resistant OC team who all must have eyes like sight-augmented eagles, may I suggest you remove that legacy section in your entry posting of this thread, because all it does is lead users astray into a dead end?

 

Do you have any means to again as before enable larger & better readable fonts for OpenCanopy, circumnavigating this short-coming/ regression introduced by OpenCanopy's devs?

Qq - where's the best place to go and get vanilla (full colour, not 'themed') icons for main distros? Does someone already have a theme with these collected? (I know a few like Fedora and Ubuntu install with an icon that you can grab, but lots of others don't seem to.)

Ahh, it even includes Alpine - which I randomly have as a test distro, though I think it is really targetted at embedded systems. Very nice, thanks.

I have made a great collections of disk icons for the theme Flavours-Beauty Same for Flavours-macIOS, Flavours-Energy
