# kali-themes
|
|
|
|
This package joins together all files that are related to theming
|
|
and configuration of the visual appearance. They were formerly split
|
|
across gnome-theme-kali, kali-defaults and desktop-base.
|
|
|
|
## file structure
|
|
|
|
All "data" files (`share/*` and what's built in the kali-logos and emblems
|
|
directory) are provided by kali-themes-common while the configuration
|
|
files (`etc/*`) are provided by kali-themes.
|
|
|
|
## desktop-base integration
|
|
|
|
desktop-base integration is provided by kali-desktop-base through
|
|
registration of various files in alternatives defined by the desktop-base
|
|
package. The files are not installed in /usr/share/desktop-base/
|
|
except for a symlink tree mimicking a "destkop-base theme". That symlink
|
|
tree is pre-built in the "share/desktop-base/kali-themes" directory in the
|
|
source package.
|
|
|
|
The kali-themes-common package is also installing various symlinks
|
|
trees to mimick directories that are traditionnally handled by
|
|
desktop-base. Most notably the directories in /usr/share/wallpapers/ that
|
|
are used by KDE.
|
|
|
|
## configuration files
|
|
|
|
The configuration files stored in the "etc" sub-directory are installed
|
|
as is in the "kali-themes" package. However the files listed in
|
|
"files-to-divert" are first diverted by dpkg-divert and the actual
|
|
files are stored in /usr/share/kali-themes/etc/ and copied in their
|
|
target location by the postinst script (see debian/kali-themes.postinst).
|
|
|
|
When you add a new file that needs to be diverted, you can update
|
|
the list in "files-to-divert" and run "debian/update-maintainer-scripts"
|
|
to update the list of files in the 3 maintainer scripts.
|
|
|
|
## wallpapers
|
|
|
|
The wallpapers are provided by the kali-wallpapers-VERSION binary package
|
|
which is built by the kali-wallpapers source package. We have the Makefile
|
|
which generates some symlinks pointing to the kali-wallpapers-VERSION that
|
|
we depend upon.
|
|
|
|
Care must be taken to ensure that we depend on the right package so that
|
|
the symlinks are working. So update debian/control and Makefile at the
|
|
same time.
