Matter hook disabled on grub upgrade

Matter adds to the end of the /usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig script a call to itself so whenever the grub is updated (on a new kernel installation for example) matter can overwrite grub.cfg to put the icon classes in place.

However when the grub itself is upgraded, grub-mkconfig is overwritten effectively removing the Matter hook at the end, and you as an user need to "install" Matter again for keeping the correct icons.

One solution that comes to mind would be to place the hook on the package manager instead. With apt something like this would be needed. A problem with this approach is how to gracefully handle other package managers.

Hopefully there are other alternatives that you can come with. Any ideas are welcomed.

Added resolution check

The script will now check for 1920x1080 resolution and set it as the resolution if it is available, if it isn't available the script will exit.

This change introduces hwinfo as a dependency, but in case the user doesn't want to install it or just doesn't want to check for the correct resolution I added the -n switch to disable any resolution checking.

At least I have specified a number of resolutions in my grub config that I wouldn't want the script to overwrite, so instead I made it comment out the already present line and add a new one meaning that uninstalling immediately starts using the old resolutions again. I can remove this if it isn't a wanted feature.

Matter has too many dependencies

This is a real general issue, and I have no clue where to start to tackle it - but what do you think the chances are somebody will really install mtools, QEMU, grub2-something-something, and a ton more? I like keeping my system light - but I'd also really like to use this. Hence, I'd like to tackle killing off dependencies one by one.

Does anyone have thoughts on how we should start?

Matter lost my fedora entries

Hello! I've recently installed matter theme, played with it and remove it. Next I tryed to install in again, but it lost my fedora entries and GRUB looks default.

sudo ./matter.py

[sudo] password for vasily:
[I] [ Matter GRUB THEME ]
[I] Argument -i required. Which icons go to which grub entries?
[I] Your grub entries are:
1. Windows Boot Manager (on /dev/nvme0n1p1)
2. UEFI Firmware Settings
[I] Look for icons you like at https://materialdesignicons.com/
[I] Then install with:
[I] ./matter.py -i icon-for-entry-1 icon-for-entry-2 ...
[I] Example (with 8 entries, _ means ignore):
[I] ./matter.py -i ubuntu microsoft-windows folder _ _ _ _ cog

config.json

Errors on grub-mkfont when directory name has a space inside it

I had matter under a folder called 'Grub Themes', and it errored at the 'Build font' part of matter.py. Renaming the directory to 'Grub-Themes' fixed this.

Matter should set up its own installation files

Currently, the user is asked to download the folder to a "safe" location and then run the script. Instead, the installation directory should be handled automatically by matter without requesting the user to be careful. Issues like #67 occur because of this.

An idea for improving Matter installation would be to do something like other command-line utilities and provide an installation script, something like wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mateosss/matter/v1.2.1/install.py | python3

And then make the current matter.py utility just a matter command in the user PATH.

Another idea would be to make Matter installable through pip like grub2-theme-preview.

Improve READMEs of each folder

Matter folder structure is more or less preserved on install even though some folders don't have more than a README file. The idea behind this is that a curious user or potential contributors can read right from the repo what each folder is supposed to contain and get an idea of how Matter works in the process.

If you've been reading the project and think you can improve the description of some area that you found particularly weird, go ahead and submit a PR, hopefully it will make it easier for future readers.
