Adding a Mint-Y theme

  1. Add new colors to constants.py

  2. Add new hue to colorize.py

  3. Add the new color name to the lists in update-variations.py

  4. Run the Python script update-variations.py for the new color (e.g. ./update-variations.py Red). This will generate new assets in src/Mint-Y/variations/.

  5. Manually create a new directory for the new theme in files/usr/share/themes. It's best to copy an existing one as a template.

    In there:

    • Adapt the theme name in index.theme.
    • Create new thumbnail.png images.
  6. Run the Python script generate-themes.py. This will create the themes in the local directory usr/share/themes.

  7. Test the themes by copying them to ~/.themes and applying them.

  8. In Git commit and push all newly created files to a new branch.
