Progress Bar

Progress bar is the commonly seen bar that displays the message for booting within N seconds. It holds multiple properties to illustrate its progress.

ID

With the value

• __timeout__
• unset

This is for turning the progress bar to display remaining time or otherwise. Default is unset.

text

The text to display. It accepts any string.

If ID is set __timeout__, the the text accepts pre-defined statements like:

• @KEYMAP_SHORT@ - for "Ns"
• @KEYMAP_MIDDLE@ - for "Ns remaining."
• @KEYMAP_LONG@ - for "The highlighted entry will be executed automatically in Ns."

You can also use the printf %d to represent the countdown digits in your custom script. Example:

• You have %ds left - for "You have Ns left"

text-color

Configure text color

text-font

Configure text font

Common Properties

You should always configure:

• left
• top

Optionally:

• width
• height

If width and height is less accommodating than the display text, it will be adjusted automatically.

Examples

To produce the graphics above, we have:

Mono Color Mode

+ progress_bar {

        left = 50%-300

        top = 50%+200

        width = 600

        height = 50

        id = "__timeout__"

        text = "@TIMEOUT_NOTIFICATION_LONG@"

        border_color = "white"

        bg_color = "128, 128, 128"

        fg_color = "200, 200, 200"

}

Styled Mode

+ progress_bar {

        left = 50%-300

        top = 50%+200

        width = 600

        height = 50

        id = "__timeout__"

        text = "@TIMEOUT_NOTIFICATION_LONG@"

        bar_style = "inbox_*.png"

        highlight_style = "progress_*.png"

}

Blank Mode

+ progress_bar {

        left = 50%-300

        top = 50%+200

        width = 600

        height = 50

        id = "__timeout__"

        text = "@TIMEOUT_NOTIFICATION_LONG@"

        text_color = "white"

        bar_style = "*"

        highlight_style = "*"

}

That's all about progress bar in GRUB themes.
