ubuntu / communitheme-set-default Goto Github PK

I have been working on a CLI app to change the purple background of Ubuntu all the way from grub to the gdm login screen.

Draft: https://github.com/izznogooood/yact/blob/master/yact/yact.py

So far all I've been doing is patching the files replacing the color codes using regex and thecolorapi.com.

The files are:

/usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/ubuntu.css
/usr/share/plymouth/themes/ubuntu-logo/ubuntu-logo.plymouth
/usr/share/plymouth/themes/ubuntu-logo/ubuntu-logo.grub

The result is:

My plan was to implement support for the community-snap in the next release.

After requesting a classic snap I was made aware of alternate an started working on a solution which involved copying and patching the themes, then change them with alternate, which would be the more correct way of doing it. Further more I was referred to your thread asking for the same thing in another thread here.
So that got me thinking... Is there a way I can make a tool that can make the change to your CSS permanant. I am not sure how to deal with the plymouth part without replacing the themes and I am not sure I can patch your CSS without you overwriting it in the next release.

I am thinking in the line of some sort of "tweak light" tool that lets you at least choose the background color. And have you thought of implementing plymouth in to the community theme?

Would you be interested in this and do you think it is possible ?
