I want to hide the about tag in rEFInd. So, I did according to the info in config and website, which is to add a showtools line with no options.

And, nothing happens. I still see About, Shutdown, Reboot, Firmware tools in the rEFInd screen

# Default is shell,memtest,gdisk,apple_recovery,windows_recovery,mok_tool,about,hidden_tags,shutdown,reboot,firmware,fwupdate
# To completely disable scanning for all tools, provide a showtools line
# with no options.
#
#showtools shell, bootorder, gdisk, memtest, mok_tool, apple_recovery, windows_recovery, about, hidden_tags, reboot, exit, firmware, fwupdate
showtools

Eventhough the previous showtools line is a just a comment, I removed it too. And still nothing happens.

Does anybody have any idea?

I only want Shutdown, Reboot.

SOLVED

It seems like a rEFInd problem in latest version.

Looks like I have to edit and rebuild it myself. Unfortunately, I’m not really that familiar with building packages myself.

Guess, I have to wait it out.

    Thank You.

    showtools in main and theme config are both commented out.

    Even if my theme config’s showtools is not commented, rEFInd shouldn’t show firmware and about. Since, they are not included in the showtools anyway.

    And You are correct, I need it more like second picture.

    Some, other person told me that, this is a rEFInd problem in latest version.
