- The menu provides scrolling support if the screen resolution is too low for displaying all boot entries, with the capability to boot previously selected entries after a timeout.
- Users can create custom boot entries for greater personalization and compatibility with other operating systems, as well as generate Clover boot entries in the NVRAM directly from the GUI.
