About

grub-qemu is a lightweight program for a full-fledged preview of grub. When I was using grub-emu on Fedora, it wasn't very good. I was looking for something lightweight while still having my system's grub theme loaded automatically, when the idea for this project came to my mind.

• QEMU has a problem with the 1366x768 resolution, which has been fixed in grub-qemu and the resolution is now 1360x768.

Feature

• Automatically use theme and fonts.
• Automatically set system resolution.
• Suitable for Grub theme development.
• Simple user interface.
• Ability to manually import themes, grub, resolution,...
