How can I change the resolution of the GRUB menu?

I'd like to change my GRUB's resolution since it seems as if it doesn't use my screen's whole 1920x1080. I tried to get the supported resolutions using videoinfo, but it literally shows nothing. I tried vbeinfo as well, but that didn't work either.



Looking forward to a solution for this or at least a way to tell which resolution GRUB is actually using at the moment.



This is how my GRUB config file looks:



GRUB_TIMEOUT=8
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="nouveau.modeset=0"
GRUB_GFXMODE=1920x1080

  • You may achieve what you want by editing GRUB_GFXMODE but I advice against it.

  • Unless you plan on using a magnifying glass to read your GRUB menu, I'd recommend setting GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480.

You can use 1920x1080 screen size but you will want to generate a larger font. Although the following GIF uses grub themes for additional graphics, generating larger 24 or 36 point fonts is the same for regular grub.



Grub Boot





Make Grub fonts



Even if you are just using regular grub, if you want a different font you must use grub-mkfont program first. The same holds true for Grub Customizer used by OP and Grub Themes used in first section of this answer.



Here are the fonts I have made for grub to use:



$ ll /usr/share/grub/themes/Tuxkiller2/*.pf2
-rwxrwx--- 1 root root 176923 Jun 9 16:41 /usr/share/grub/themes/Tuxkiller2/dejavu_14.pf2*
-rwxrwx--- 1 root root 20041 Jun 9 16:41 /usr/share/grub/themes/Tuxkiller2/droidlogo_bold_17.pf2*
-rwxrwx--- 1 root root 23339 Jun 9 16:41 /usr/share/grub/themes/Tuxkiller2/droidlogo_bold_20.pf2*
-rwxrwx--- 1 root root 31498 Jun 9 16:41 /usr/share/grub/themes/Tuxkiller2/droidlogo_bold_26.pf2*
-rwxrwx--- 1 root root 15244 Jun 9 16:41 /usr/share/grub/themes/Tuxkiller2/droidlogo_regular_12.pf2*
-rwxrwx--- 1 root root 19148 Jun 9 16:41 /usr/share/grub/themes/Tuxkiller2/droidlogo_regular_17.pf2*
-rwxrwx--- 1 root root 113623 Jul 11 17:05 /usr/share/grub/themes/Tuxkiller2/ubuntu_bold_italic_36.pf2*
-rwxrwx--- 1 root root 45391 Jul 11 17:08 /usr/share/grub/themes/Tuxkiller2/ubuntu_light_20.pf2*
-rwxrwx--- 1 root root 41020 Jul 11 17:16 /usr/share/grub/themes/Tuxkiller2/ubuntu_regular_18.pf2*
-rwxrwx--- 1 root root 46423 Jul 11 17:16 /usr/share/grub/themes/Tuxkiller2/ubuntu_regular_20.pf2*
-rwxrwx--- 1 root root 68602 Jul 11 16:59 /usr/share/grub/themes/Tuxkiller2/ubuntu_regular_28.pf2*


To create a font use the grub-mkfont program like this guide outlines: Increase Font in GRUB for High DPI Screens:



sudo grub-mkfont --output=/boot/grub/fonts/DejaVuSansMono24.pf2 
--size=24 /usr/share/fonts/truetype/dejavu/DejaVuSansMono.ttf


Then in your /etc/default/grub configuration file tell it to use the new .pf2 font file:



# More readable font on high dpi screen, generated with
# sudo grub-mkfont --output=/boot/grub/fonts/DejaVuSansMono24.pf2
# --size=24 /usr/share/fonts/truetype/dejavu/DejaVuSansMono.ttf
GRUB_FONT=/boot/grub/fonts/DejaVuSansMono24.pf2


Finally run:



sudo update-grub

    You can use 1920x1080 screen size but you will want to generate a larger font. Although the following GIF uses grub themes for additional graphics, generating larger 24 or 36 point fonts is the same for regular grub.



    Grub Boot





    Make Grub fonts



    Even if you are just using regular grub, if you want a different font you must use grub-mkfont program first. The same holds true for Grub Customizer used by OP and Grub Themes used in first section of this answer.



    Here are the fonts I have made for grub to use:



    $ ll /usr/share/grub/themes/Tuxkiller2/*.pf2
    -rwxrwx--- 1 root root 176923 Jun 9 16:41 /usr/share/grub/themes/Tuxkiller2/dejavu_14.pf2*

    -rwxrwx--- 1 root root 68602 Jul 11 16:59 /usr/share/grub/themes/Tuxkiller2/ubuntu_regular_28.pf2*


    To create a font use the grub-mkfont program like this guide outlines: Increase Font in GRUB for High DPI Screens:



    sudo grub-mkfont --output=/boot/grub/fonts/DejaVuSansMono24.pf2 
    --size=24 /usr/share/fonts/truetype/dejavu/DejaVuSansMono.ttf


    Then in your /etc/default/grub configuration file tell it to use the new .pf2 font file:



    # More readable font on high dpi screen, generated with
    # sudo grub-mkfont --output=/boot/grub/fonts/DejaVuSansMono24.pf2
    # --size=24 /usr/share/fonts/truetype/dejavu/DejaVuSansMono.ttf
    GRUB_FONT=/boot/grub/fonts/DejaVuSansMono24.pf2


    Finally run:



    sudo update-grub
