Raphaël Hertzog 78a5785aa6 Split kali-theme into multiple top-level directories 
That way every "part" that needs to be provided is visible as a
top-level directory and we can document in which context each directory
is used.

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.
