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.
