kali-themes
This package joins together files that were split across gnome-theme-kali, kali-defaults and desktop-base.
The file structure has been revamped to make it easier to see everything that needs to be provided.
desktop-base integration
To create a new theme that integrates well into desktop-base, you need to provide appropriate files in the following directories:
- Wallpapers: background images in different resolutions with GNOME and KDE meta-information.
- Gnome-Backgrounds: an XML file defining available wallpapers.
- Grub-Background: grub background image and other associated settings used by the default grub menu.
- LockScreen: wallpapers used by the screenlocker
- LoginScreen: wallpaper used on the login screen (GDM at least)
- Plymouth-Theme: theme used by plymouth (boot splash screen)
The following directories are also used by desktop-base but they don't need any change for a new theme as the Kali logo and emblems are unlikely to need any modification:
- emblems
- kali-logos
Other integrations
- Color-Schemes: color schemes for various applications and widgets
- Window-Theme: Desktop/GTK themes
- Icon-Theme: various icon sets
- Grub-Theme: theme for Grub
TODO
- The "Backgrounds" directory needs to be replaced with proper "Wallpapers".
- We should see whether the "Grub-Theme" directory can be folded into "Grub-Background" in some way.
