OpenCore Sammelthread BootPicker OpenCanopy. (Vorher Sammelthread N-D-K Erweiterung NdkBootPicker was leider Entwicklungsseitig eingestellt wurde)

OpenCanopy is a graphical OpenCore user interface that runs in External PickerMode and relies on OpenCorePkg OcBootManagementLib similar to the builtin text interface.

OpenCanopy requires graphical resources located in Resources directory to run. Sample resources (fonts and images) can be found in OcBinaryData repository. Customised icons can be found over the internet (e.g. here or there).

OpenCanopy provides full support for PickerAttributes and offers a configurable builtin icon set. The default chosen icon set depends on the DefaultBackgroundColor variable value. For Light Gray Old icon set will be used, for other colours — the one without a prefix.

Predefined icons are put to \EFI\OC\Resources\Image directory. Full list of supported icons (in .icns format) is provided below. Missing optional icons will use the closest available icon. External entries will use Ext-prefixed icon if available (e.g. OldExtHardDrive.icns).

• Cursor — Mouse cursor (mandatory).

• Selected — Selected item (mandatory). • Selector — Selecting item (mandatory). • HardDrive — Generic OS (mandatory). • Apple — Apple OS.

• Windows — Windows.

• Other — Custom entry (see Entries).

• ResetNVRAM — Reset NVRAM system action or tool.

• Shell — Entry with UEFI Shell name (e.g. OpenShell). • Tool — Any other tool.

Predefined labels are put to \EFI\OC\Resources\Label directory. Each label has .lbl or .l2x suffix to represent the scaling level. Full list of labels is provided below. All labels are mandatory.

• EFIBoot — Generic OS.

• Apple — Apple OS.

Label and icon generation can be performed with bundled utilities: disklabel and icnspack. Please refer to sample data for the details about the dimensions. Font is Helvetica 12 pt times scale factor.

Font format corresponds to AngelCode binary BMF. While there are many utilities to generate font files, currently it is recommended to use dpFontBaker to generate bitmap font (using CoreText produces best results) and fonverter to export it to binary format.
