Clover - Not Reading Theme Settings

[kwarner04]

I know this sounds trivial, but every time I boot the computer, it loads the embedded theme instead of whatever is specified in config.plist. And, it appears to be missing or can't find some parts of the theme because the MacOS icons don't show.

Normally, I wouldn't care since I see the clover boot screen maybe once a week. But it makes me wonder if other things in the config.plist aren't getting loaded which is why I'm having random issues with USB and some other minor things.

Here's the section of config.plist where the theme is set:

<key>GUI</key>
    <dict>
        <key>CustomIcons</key>
        <false/>
        <key>Hide</key>
        <array>
            <string>Windows</string>
            <string>\EFI\BOOT\BOOTX64.EFI</string>
        </array>
        <key>Language</key>
        <string>en:0</string>
        <key>Mouse</key>
        <dict>
            <key>Enabled</key>
            <true/>
            <key>Speed</key>
            <integer>8</integer>
        </dict>
        <key>ScreenResolution</key>
        <string>1920x1200</string>
        <key>Theme</key>
        <string>HighSierra</string>
    </dict>

Here's how it looks when I boot:

assume the folder is called HighSierra in themes?

 

[kwarner04]

Yes. Here's what the Themes folder looks like on the EFI partition.

You can see the "embedded" theme has been removed. I was thinking it would default to something else or nothing would load. But since it still shows part of the theme, it makes me think it's loading from a different partition somehow.

if you could zip and upload your "clover" folder, that would be useful

 

[kwarner04]

Done.

Thanks for helping out.

can't see anything untoward, you could try removing this section:

<key>CustomIcons</key>
        <false/>

and see if that does anything, also do you have other hard drives connected to your computer? as you may be editing the wrong EFI partition

 

[kwarner04]

I do have other drives connected, but I mounted all of their EFI partitions and nothing was on them. Only one drive has an EFI folder on an EFI partition.

I'll try removing thing CustomIcons key and see if that helps.

Open terminal, type

bdmesg

and press return.
Copy and paste the resulting output into a new text file then attach it here.

 

[kwarner04]

Output of bdmesg has been attached.

And here is what the boot screen looked like during the last reboot for the attached bdmesg.
