Query: Are variables in a theme .txt file supported? #90

Closed steve6375 closed 3 years ago

steve6375 commented 3 years ago

In Ventoy, themes seem to be able to use variables in their .txt files, e.g.

+ hbox{ 
    left = 30%
    top = 95%
    width = 10%
    height = 25
    + label {text = "@HOTKEY_TIP@" color = "blue" align = "left"} 
}

This does not seem to work in a1ive grub2. Is there some trick?

You can use @@VAR in my grub2. https://github.com/a1ive/grub2-filemanager/blob/fb85b3a8a76137ceaa230cc2a9dc7cbf37032d09/boot/grubfm/themes/slack/help.txt#L21 Note, however, that the displayed strings are static, and once the theme is loaded, the screen display will not change even if you change the values of the variables.
