Structure Theme Package

Proposal and specification to build a debian-package for all the theme stuff for easy installation via apt.

This idea is being built since 2008[1], was designed by artists who love debian, do not know which package a theme.

In 2010[3], we are again facilitate discussion about the contributions of artists to the debian project. Makes it easy to customize the desktop.

Name of theme packages

I wrote an initial proposal[3] in this style:

  • meta-pkg: theme-<name theme>_<release>_all.deb

  • packages: theme-<app>-<name theme>_<release>_all.deb

Example: theme-spacefun_1.0_all.deb support:

  • theme-base-spacefun_1.0_all.deb - backgrounds, styles, confs...
  • theme-gdm-spacefun_1.0_all.deb - package to gdm theme
  • theme-kdm-spacefun_1.0_all.deb - packge to kdm theme
  • theme-usplash-spacefun_1.0_all.deb - uspash theme

Directory Structure

It's a proposal to standardize the directory to generate themes packaged. Being developed in: http://svn.debianart.org/themes/ Example: /moreblue2red/

  • /moreblue2red/gdm/
  • /moreblue2red/gtk/
  • /moreblue2red/kdm/
  • /moreblue2red/metacity/
  • /moreblue2red/splashs/
  • /moreblue2red/usplash/
  • /moreblue2red/wallpapers/
