The Clover EFI Bootloader 5166 has been released, enhancing the ability to boot various operating systems such as OS X, Windows, and Linux on both Mac and PC hardware, utilizing either UEFI or legacy BIOS firmware. This versatile bootloader supports booting in both UEFI and legacy modes. Users can boot directly using UEFI firmware or through CloverEFI's UEFI firmware emulation.
Key features of the Clover EFI Bootloader include a customizable graphical user interface (GUI) that allows users to personalize their experience with various themes, icons, fonts, background images, animations, and mouse pointers. A comprehensive theme database and repository are available online for users to explore and implement new themes.
The GUI also supports a native screen resolution and includes several handy features: users can change the GUI resolution using the Page Up and Page Down keys, access multilingual help by pressing F1, save preboot logs and original ACPI tables, test DSDT patching, and save graphics firmware, all from within the GUI. Additional functionalities include the ability to take screenshots, eject CD/DVDs, and create custom boot entries for different operating systems. The boot entries menu is designed to scroll if the screen resolution is insufficient for the entire menu.
Furthermore, users can create Clover boot entries in NVRAM using the GUI and launch the EFI command shell as needed. This release aims to enhance the user experience for those seeking to manage multiple operating systems effectively.
In conclusion, the Clover EFI Bootloader 5166 is an essential tool for users looking to optimize their multi-boot setups, offering extensive customization options and improved usability for managing various operating systems.
