Which markup should I choose correctly when creating a usb ventoy, MBR or GPT? How does this affect the download or installation ?

Dear author of the program.
Tell me, is it possible to change the inscription: "1.0.80 BIOS www.ventoy.net " in the boot menu.
I want that instead of this label, the BIOS label is displayed if I booted in BIOS mode, and the UEFI label is displayed if I booted in UEFI mode.
Or it may be possible to add such a line.

If this is not possible, then it may be possible to make wallpaper number 1 (or theme number 1) appear when booting in BIOS mode, and wallpaper number 2 (or theme number 2) appear when booting in UEFI mode.

Hello.

I can't find a topic on creating two BIOS and UEFI boot menus in Ventoy. 
I need that when booting in BIOS mode, the boot menu with programs that work in both BIOS and UEFI is displayed, and when booting in UEFI, 
a list of only those programs that support UEFI booting is displayed.  
How to do it.

how do I move the icons closer to the center of the menu ? It turns out to shift the text, but there are no icons. Tell me how to do it?


This is my theme.txt

+ boot_menu {

left = 50%-325
width = 650

top = 50%-170
height = 440

icon_width = 32
icon_height = 32

item_height = 26
item_padding = 2

item_icon_space = 7
item_spacing = 1

 item_color = "#ddd" 

selected_item_pixmap_style = "selected_*.png"
selected_item_color = "#ffffff"
}

    Added a vertical monitor orientation mode.
      Parameter in the file ventoy.json:
*********************************************************************
* 
*  "theme": {
*      ...
*      "theme_rotate90": "/ventoy/themes/Vertical_Monitor/vertical.txt",
*      "text_direction": "2",
*      "font_rotate90": ["/ISO/fonts/rotate_10b.pf2"],
*      ...
*  },
*********************************************************************
 
        Description:
        theme for vertical mode
        "theme_rotate90": "/ventoy/themes/Vertical_Monitor/vertical.txt"
       
        "text_direction": "2" - vertical mode activation - Ventoy is loaded with the vertical orientation of the screen
        "text_direction": "1" - horizontal orientation of the screen
        if the "text_direction" key is not set, the horizontal orientation of the screen is
       
        font for vertical mode
        "font_rotate90": ["/ISO/fonts/rotate_10b.pf2"]
       
        theme "/Vertical_Monitor/vertical.txt " and 3 fonts "rotate_8.pf2", "rotate_10b.pf2", "rotate_12.pf2"
        (with Latin and Cyrillic) added to ventoy-mod_1.0.80...see paragraph 12
       
       
        added a "hot" button "Ctrl" + "l" to change the orientation of the screen after loading Ventoy,
        under the conditions:
    a) the "text_direction" key is set to "1" or "2"
    b) the vertical theme key "theme_rotate90" is set
    c) the horizontal theme key "file" is set
   
 
 
   
                            --- 14 ---
 
 
 
    Changed the "lsfonts" command. Now it outputs in the form
    path and file name -> font name (which should be written for the theme components if we want to highlight them)   
   
   
    For example, we want to make a bigger inscription:
    "h:help F1: Memdisk  F2: Power F3: ListView F4: Localboot F5: Tools F6: download-Kubuntu F9: info"
   
                           
а) we look through the fonts (they are now displayed as menu items) and select the one we like.
b) Go to the terminal and type the command
            grub>lsfonts
    and we look at the system's response. Usually the last viewed font is at the very top of the list. Let it be so:
            (hd0,1)/ISO/fonts/fixedsys-regular-32.pf2  ->  Fixedsys Excelsior 3.01 Regular 32
            ...
c) adding a font to the name_of_your_theme.txt
*********************************************************************
* 
*  + hbox{
*      ...
*      + label {text = "@VTOY_HOTKEY_TIP@" color = "#eeeef8" font = "Fixedsys Excelsior 3.01 Regular 32" align = "left"}
*  }
*********************************************************************
 
d) adding the font to
          Parameter in the file ventoy.json:
*********************************************************************
* 
*  "theme": {
*      ...
*      "fonts": ["/ISO/fonts/fixedsys-regular-32.pf2",...
*      ...
*  },
*********************************************************************
   
   
The example given in "/ventoy/themes/Arch-Blue/theme.txt".

Downloaded localization files *.mo from the Internet (column 3). I assumed which language
it would correspond to (column 2). And as the value of the key "VTOY_locale_LANGUAGE" (1 column).
If I made a mistake somewhere, I apologize for my ignorance. There are also several languages that I don't know
what the correct value is to set. For example:
pa.mo . These are: "pa_Arab" or "pa_Guru" or "pa_IN" or "pa_PK" or ... ?
I would be grateful if you could tell me. And I will make changes in the next release.
You can also send your localization files for inclusion in Ventoy.

Hello guys,

So I have this problem when I try to boot with ventoy on my PC itself, everything itself on mobalive works fine. I tried reso changing from gui to text, dissabling secure boot, tpm. Nothing works. What can I do ?

This was on an old server model ibm 3650 m3. With a usb keyboard and mouse. The keyboard functions normally on windows and bios etc.
But on ventoy the arrow keys (probably all keys) where applied atleast twice.
So when pressing down in the menu, it goes 2 items down instead of one.

Why am I getting this error? <SOLVED>

Hi all speaking from Italy ,



I did a vdi disk and install an virtualbox arch distribution ( endevarous Apollo ) , follow the documentation I installed vtoy2boot , then using vdiskchain I was able to boot my .vdi disk virtualbox from grub2 of my desktop pc for two months.



Now  , after an arch update/upgrade , I'm non able again to run my vdi disk from grub but only using virtualbox from my ubuntu linux system.




If I try to run .vdi from grub2 i have a message like :




Not bootfile found for UEFI !

Maybe the image does not support 64 bit UEFI


(see picture attached)



Note if I use other .vdi file in my hard disk , I'm able to boot from grub2



i googled around but I never found an error like this for ventoy/grub2
