Sorry, I misunderstood your prior email.
I retouched the Debian_Blue theme I built for WindowMaker, and with a
little work it could be used as the default theme. The original colors
were overly bright. Additionally I tossed together the beginnings of a
default theme for KDE using the blue debian swirl image. The theme was
built using the KDE currently available in unstable. I have no idea if
it will work with KDE 3. I also don't use KDE regularly so it isn't very
complete. Here are the links though.
Blue_Debian_2 for WindowMaker
Theme: http://www.shadowglade.net/themes/debian_blue_2.tar.gz
Screen: http://www.shadowglade.net/themes/debian_blue_2.screenshot.png
BlueDebian for KDE
Theme: http://www.shadowglade.net/themes/BlueDebian.ktheme
Screen: Nopey, it's built into the theme. :-)
On another note, the desktop-base package does not have any conffiles
defined. IIRC this means that any other package install scripts may
modify files in the desktop-base packages as needed. In which case
setting a default wallpaper to /usr/share/images/desktop-base/default
will allow other packages to change the symlink and change the default
background.
Yeah, this probably seems stupidly obvious, but it's 2am and I want to
be sure.
Thanks,
