What do you feel when you first see Ventoy?. Not so pretty right?. Today I'm gonna show you how to customize Ventoy grub menu without write down menu class as it's not very convenient to edit the ventoy.json file manually.

Ventoy provides a lot of powerful features through plugins. All the configuration of these plugins is in ventoy.json file. It was a nightmare to edit the ventoy.json file in the past, especially for those who are not familiar with json syntax.

Thankfully, since 1.0.62, Ventoy provides a GUI plugin configurator called VentoyPluson, so we can now create and customize our own theme easily. So big kudos to developers behind this project for brining this feature.

UPDATE!!!
Sorry folks, I missed adding Ventoy menu class plugin to display the OS icons. Here's my ventoy.json file :

{
"theme":{
"file": "/ventoy/theme/ubuntu/theme.txt",
"gfxmode": "1920x1080"
},
"menu_class": [
{
"key": "elementaryos-",
"class": "elementary"
},
{
"key": "Fedora-",
"class": "fedora"
},
{
"key": "linuxmint-",
"class": "linuxmint"
},
{
"key": "neon-user-",
"class": "neon"
},
{
"key": "ubuntu-",
"class": "ubuntu"
},
{
"key": "VanillaOS-",
"class": "linux"
},
{
"key": "Zorin-OS-",
"class": "zorin"
},
{
"key": "WIN7",
"class": "windows"
},
{
"key": "Windows_10",
"class": "windows"
},
{
"key": "Win11_",
"class": "windows11"
}
]
}

Note :
1. The "key" is used to match the iso file name. If you have (let say) ubuntu-23.04-desktop-amd64.iso, you can set the key as ubuntu- or ubuntu-23.04-
2. The "class" is just the png file name. ubuntu means you have a ubuntu.png file in your icons theme directory

ABOUT VENTOY
Creating a bootable USB on Linux to install any OS is usually involves reformatting flash drive, flash the ISO, and then just boot it. And if you want to make another, you'll have to repeat the same process and lose the operating system already on the drive.

That's why Sardu, MultiBootUSB, Yumi (Your Universal Multiboot Installer), MultiSystem, Xboot, Ventoy, and other multiboot creator apps exist. Ventoy is special because it supports our glorious Linux.

Ventoy has been tested with more than 260 ISO files, including Debian, Ubuntu, Deepin, Fedora, openSUSE, MX Linux, Manjaro, Mint, Elementary OS, Pop!_OS, Zorin OS, Arch, Puppy Linux, Kali, KDE Neon.

For Microsoft Windows users, it supports Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10, Windows 11, Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2019, Windows Server 2022, and WinPE.

It supports persistence mode on Ubuntu, MX Linux, Linux Mint, Elementary OS and Zorin OS as well.
