Good morning all,

I have not found how to add icons to the halt, reboot, search ... return submenu. Maybe this option could be integrated in a future version?

Thanks.

Hello !
Can you give me an example in order to display an icon in front of each "iso" file used.

I don't really understand the doc
https://www.ventoy.net/en/plugin_menuclass.html

The isos files are in a directory named isos

I created a sub directory named icons (+ icons) in the theme directory
the icon names correspond to the key line of the ventoy file

In the ventoy.json file, I have these lines...
{
    "theme": {
        "file": "/ventoy/theme/Vimix/theme.txt",
        "gfxmode": "1920x1080."
        "display_mode": "GUI",
        "ventoy_left": "5%."
        "ventoy_top": "95%",
        "ventoy_color": "#0000ff"
    }
}

{
    "menu_class": [
        {
            "key": "Acronis."
            "class": "Acronis_Bootable_PE_Media_06.2020"
        },
        {
            "key." Acronis-Backup-advanced",
            "class": "Acronis_Backup_Advanced_11.7_50230_en"
        },       
        {
            "key": "R-Drive-Image",
            "class": "R-DriveImage."
        }
    ]
}

exemple :
my iso name  is Acronis_Bootable_PE_Media_06.2020.iso  ( in the folder ISOS)
the respective icon is named 'Acronis.png  (in the folder   theme/icons )

Greetings

Hello and thank you for this great tool ! It really meets a need, and in such an elegant way.

My question is somehow related to the recent "advanced boot options" thread. Having no technical skills to understand Ventoy internals or json stuff, I was amazed at the persistence plugin, because it manages to boot as if a "persistent" option had been passed.
As you pointed, user can always enter boot options after ISO has been launched, and probably must do so to *remove* options (like "quiet"); but it can be a crippling task for beginners, moreover if they have to enter the options with the wrong keyboard layout ! So, when making a "multi-distros demo key" with Ventoy, I dream I could just edit ventoy.json to pass something like : "locale=fr_BE console-setup/layoutcode=be" and/or "toram".
Would it be possible in a future release ?

Congratulation

Excellent piece of software and very good job

I'd like some enhancement for menu_class : the ability to add a field comment displayed during the selection of the item.
May be another thing : possibility to have an alias for directory

Thanks a lot
