Hey Aaron,

Here's how you do it on macOS. I also have instructions for Arch if you use it.

  1. install rEFInd
  2. Unzip and run ./refind-install
  3. Verify it works by restarting. You should see the stock rEFInd boot menu.

To add & configure this theme:

  1. Mount rEFInd sudo mount -t msdos /dev/disk0s1 /Volumes
  2. cd /Volumes/EFI/rEFInd
  3. Make a themes directory mkdir -p themes && cd themes
  4. Clone any rEFInd theme you want- in this case, this one: git clone https://github.com/gretzky/refind-retina-black
  5. cd ..
  6. Add the theme to refind.conf echo "include themes/refind-retina-black/theme.conf" >> refind.conf
  7. Edit the refind.conf to include the icons used in the theme
    • Look for each menuentry and change the icon file path to /EFI/refind/themes/refind-retina-black/os_whatever.png

Reboot to verify the theme worked. I've been messing with rEFInd and themes quite a bit lately so if you find any issue let me know.

Awesome, thanks for the walkthrough!

I'll try this out sometime tomorrow.

Would you consider putting these instructions in the README?

Sure thing
