Hi Everyone

I have just a small question about the Flavour settings in the Misc > Entries >Flavour.. 

I have a multi boot system the runs MacOS, Windows, Linux mint, Garuda, and Kubuntu..  My system works 100% fine I have no issues. I just want to change the icons for the Linux installs. At the moment all 3 Linux installs show the same icon (the Linux penguin) 

My flavour setting are as follows.. 

Flavour ... String .... Linux Mint:Linux

                                 Kubuntu:Linux

                                 Garuda:Linux

The icon name opencore uses for these is called HardDrive.icns ..

I want to use some icons I downloaded from github called HardDrive_Mint.icns, HardDrive_Ubuntu.icns and HardDrive_Linux.icon.

Because my entries just say Linux Mint:Linux and doesn't say HardDrive.icns. I was wondering what makes Opencore pick that icon to use with Linux? 

Is it as simple as just changing the entry to say Linux Mint:HardDrive_Mint.icns ? 

Thanks for taking the time to read this. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi antuneddu 

 

It was you how actually got my themes working for me.. So my flavour setting are just as you set then.. But in my current theme there is only 1 Linux icon.. called HardDrive.icns 

The Flavour setting just says :Linux and picks the same icon for all 3 distro's 

So I just want to add like you have posted there just not sure how to do it..

Thanks for your help. 

😂  rename  HardDrive_Mint.icns > Linux Mint.icns , rename  HardDrive_...... 

 

Give it the same name you gave in the entries, like in the example here        https://www.insanelymac.com/uploads/monthly_2022_02/724483983_111Schermata2022-02-19alle06_13.png.58ef73bb907f866f0c7a9326a6127327.png

@David Boswell

I wasn't getting your problem right. But when I read the last @antuneddu post I understood it, follow their instructions.

The icon must be named the same as the item included in the Flavour property.

E. g., if Flavour = LinuxMint: Linux, the icon must be called Linux Mint.icns (first choice) or Linux.icns, if there are no icons with that name, OpenCore picks up the default icon for file systems on disk that is HardDrive.icns.
