Hi, what would it take to add OS/2 support? Actually AOS support. AOS is an OEM version of OS/2. https://www.arcanoae.com
A few folk successfully use rEFind for booting, works well, including as I use it for booting both legacy and UEFI installs of OS/2.
Problem is every time I update (Linux Mint), my icon gets moved to icons-backup, seems best to have it in the package.
Here's how OS/2 gets installed in the EFI partition, launcher.efi is a minimalist launcher.
The volume label in drive U is EFI_SYSTEM.
The Volume Serial Number is 1504:194B.

First, you can always set icons_dir in refind.conf to point to a replacement or supplemental directory for icons. These will not be replaced when rEFInd is updated. This option is most commonly used in theming operations, but you can use it to add one or two icons, if you like.
Second, I've just added an ArcaOS icon to the rEFInd git repository. I picked a different one than you presented for licensing reasons and because it better fills the square; however, the original was just 80x80, and so it looks a little blurry when scaled up to 128x128. If you know of a better one that's explicitly under an open source license, or that at least is attached to terms that permit free redistribution, then I can replace what I've added with another one.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Ok, thanks. It is a little jaggy, I'll look around for one with clearer licensing. The one I posted, the guy who created it always answers with do whatever you like with his creations.

And the part of the thread dealing with rEFInd logos, https://www.os2world.com/forum/index.php/topic,1712.msg41588.html#msg41588 which includes once again David being fine with whatever I want to do with his work, might have to scroll down.

I'll attach the icon I use.
Thanks

Hi, I still don't see the icon you picked in the git repository.
Sorry; I failed to push the changes. They should be there now.
