Export Theme to reimport to other Machine?

[D1Ck3n]

Good day,

first of all: I think your tool is great! This is exactly what I was looking for!

My question: would it be possible to export the theme what I create with the tool and then import it again on another PC?

I ask because I wrote a script that automatically sets up a Linux workstation for a user and I would like a custom theme for it.

Previously I did this with the greeter file, but since Ubuntu 20.04 you can no longer edit the login screen.

Alternatively: could your tool also be operated purely via command line? Then I could integrate it into my script without the user seeing the GUI.

Happy to hear from you!

Thank you.

Yes, just transfer the extracted theme over to the other pc.

This app does not have that much shell theme customization options. If you actually want a custom theme that is drastically different from the default theme, you might want to search for a guide on "how to create a gnome shell theme?".

Alternatively: could your tool also be operated purely via command line?

No. I mean it could if I added a command-line interface. But then users would expect to run it with sudo and it would cause weird inconsistencies.

I have considered adding a command-line interface in the past. Actually, it had a command-line interface in the beginning. But it causes more problems than it solves. So, I removed it.

Yes. You can also put it in /usr/local/share/themes or ~/.local/share/themes. I personally prefer /usr/local/share/themes over the other directories but that's just me.
