Description

Previews GRUB 2 themes and boot backgrounds inside a KVM/QEMU virtual machine before installing them. It helps theme authors and administrators check layout, readability, and resolution safely.

The tool uses virtualization to test boot visuals, but it still depends on accurate theme paths and GRUB behavior. Previewing reduces risk, yet final bootloader configuration should still be checked on the target machine.
