I think we just need a meta package which contains the color scheme data
and pixmaps and some debconf questions aka: "Would you like to use a
uniform theme (colors, icons) for all users? If yes, which one?".
Options:
- Debian Theme (dark)
- Debian Theme (bright)
- Some Other Theme
- use default theme of each software part
This metapackage should be installed as one of the first when installing
"x-window-system" task package. When a WM or desktop environment are
configured in postinst, they can look for the debconf data of
the-meta-package, generate a "theme" for their purposes (or even include
prepared theme files in the package) and install it as default. OR
SET IT as recommended theme if they offer a pre-setup dialog like KDE
does.
Gruss/Regards,
Eduard.
