So they behave differently? Well done for testing.

 

Thanks for the idea, though there are a million possibilities of how an icon can look and what an icon can be. It's all down to individual taste and vision. You are free to customise any icon you wish. If you want to have a circular shell button then great, go ahead and generate some.  :)

Yes, ResetNVRAM reboots but CleanNvram remains at OpenCore menu. I think reboot it's not needed after CleanNvram but I'm not sure. Otherwise, both of them seem to perform the same action.

CleanNvram.efi is intended for use without OpenCore.

I did not know.

I have sometimes used it from the OpenCore menu to test and apparently it empties NVRAM and macOS starts fine with or without restarting after using it, I do not have the error of @antuneddu

CleanNvram.efi and built-in ResetNvram, equivalents when using with OpenCore. 

CleanNvram.efi doesn't do reboot automatically, you shall make reboot.

Use CleanNvram.efi without OpenCore (For example from SHELL when SHELL is loaded as bootx64.efi) for full clean.

Playing around with [Windows] AngelCode Bitmap Font Generator + Candara font. I can confirm OpenCanopy actually hangs with "Do not include kerning pairs" option leave unchecked in Font Settings. Or will refuse to load if the font have font-size != 12px. Attached my bmf-config file + generated files. *Rename generated files .fnt to .bin and remove sequenced *_0.png suffix.

Since OpenCore can now boot all versions of macOS I've added the missing 10.4-10.11 icons from my Set3 range. These include drive icons and also badge icons. Here's a preview.

Great job. I don't find them in your GitHub repo.

I've updated OpenCanopyIconsSetBuilder to v0.1.7 (link in first post), to now include the ResetSystem icons.

The script works pretty well but the number of choices is growing so there's more to answer before getting the icons....  I'll have to work on some web app instead to allow viewing and selecting icons to download from the repo.

Yeah, sorry it's not easier at the moment. :blush:

The builder script doesn't go as deep as that.

 

The only way to get those for now is to checkout the whole repo, or download the repo as a ZIP, and navigate to:

 

For drives with macOS icons:

Set3/<COLOUR>/HardDrive/Apple/

 

For OS badges:

Set3/OsBadges/Coloured/

Very very nice!!! I like all them.

I've been playing around with OpenCore's font support and think how it's currently done is great, though it limits the possibilities of customisation (maybe by design to keep it more in line with Apple's UI)

 

Font size cannot change much as the lineHeight must be 12 or 24 (if x2) for OpenCore to accept it.

 

Fonts PNGs can only be mono, so no coloured fonts, and shading will prove difficult due to the tight random placement of the glyphs in the AngelCode BMF.

 

Having said that I've generated some different ones to maybe give the UI a slightly different look, if wanted.

 

Here's an image showing different slices of a selection to show each font looks in the UI

I just replaced OC's stock Font folder from acidanthera/OcBinaryData/Resources/ with the Font folder of the framd font, but now I only get a grey screen after the boot chime.

 

Here's my current config:

Do these fonts require a different setting somewhere, or even special theme resources?

Yeah, the fonts I generated back in August last year do indeed seem to be incorrect and cause OC to hang. It’s only recently been discovered (check the last 20 posts or so). They did work for me at the time but I guess they weren’t thoroughly tested. 

 

I know @cecekpawon recently posted a new font here which I haven’t had a chance to test yet but I believe that will work.

 

Apologies for any inconvenience.

ah OK - thanks for replying so quickly. @blackosx could you add what you just wrote at the top of your font posting so I'm the last to stumble over this?

 

I saw cecekpawon's recent post, but the Candara font is not a gain but a regression in terms of better readability which is what I'm trying to achieve w/o lowering the res.

 

Is there any chance you could tweak your fonts from back then for current OC conformity? Esp. framd, Verdana and Aller really look great on your screenshot composite.

Edited by BuXb

Sure. Done. :)

 

(Thanks for the reminder. This week has been full on with work, plus the extra time I’ve been putting in to these icons I hadn’t got round to it yet.)

 

I will look further in to the fonts next week.

Thank you! It was indeed the kerning pairs causing the problem :)

 

Thanks to the note from @cecekpawon about the kerning pairs, the fonts issue has been resolved and I've now generated new font images which I've successfully tested in Qemu (though only at 1x Scale).

@blackosx you're breaking the rules of physics - officially we're not capable of faster than the speed of :idea::superman:

 

The framd indeed is slightly better readable @ UIScale=1 on my screen (15,6" @ 1920x1080) than the stock OC font - still not as comfortable as it could (and as in Clover GUI with exact same background).

 

Have you ever tried the Terminus font, by any chance? It ranks highest on 6 Best bitmap programming fonts as of 2021 - Slant, and the dev is fine-tuning it constantly (last time 2 months ago)

@blackosx wow, quite a magician you are - kudos.

 

Yes, you're right. I went straight for the bolder type face but the numbers are too jagged + the font is too small. So for now, until OC allows scaling of some sorts e.g. via a setting for dedicated 13px/ 14px/ 15px pixel fonts, framd seems like the best choice. I'd even say the OC team might want to choose it as default.

 

@antuneddu haven't tried myself but saved this link in my bookmarks :)

thanks, but I already have the entries for both Windows and Ubuntu defined in the config and from opencore I boot all of them, the problem does not show me the right icons
