[opensuse-artwork] Chromium branding, possible? Was: Extended Chromium builds for openSUSE !

Dear list mates,
Based on the official chromium tarballs, the process of building Chromium for openSUSE has become a lot easier. This allowed me to extend the Chromium offering for openSUSE users
Hi, Raymond, Once at 12.2's time I made a branding for chromium, so I'm familiar with that theming process. But at that time, I generated .crx extension from a zip and then encourged users to install it. I looked at upstream and found it's possible to replace themepack to build a chromium package like google did, but that's too hard for me...(chromium is big and you have to change some code if I remember correctly)... Can you please check if we can do that, which is: Make chromium openSUSE look, nothing more (no more upstream blue branding) Or if we can embed a branding package, which will be: Two branding packages: chromium-branding-upstream and chromium-branding-openSUSE. Hope you get my idea... Marguerite -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+owner@opensuse.org

The branding package that is build into Chromium consists more the application icon, etc. I am not sure if your themepack is covering also this. But please send me a tarball of the theme, so that I can validate which files we have and compare this with the Chromium branding inside the tarball. As indicated this is something that is build into Chromium so there is no way to create two branding packages. It's not a theme file that just needs replacement. I have to see how much I would need to adjust the build files inside the tarball as that I know there are a number of check for the branding, but I am not sure if they are just checking on the Chrome branding or also on the Chromium branding.

I lost it for a long time...but I have the ability to make this branding happen... So can you post me something that is needed to be in a themepack? the source directory will be okay...I'll create a themepack for you to test. This is a long way to go (so no 13.1 entrance) but I think it'll make our overall openSUSE life fun.

I will create a tarball for the chromium branding source directory. Hopefully this gives you enough information what can be done and how. I have no experience with theming Chromium, so I am not sure how compatible the branding stuff is with a normal Chromium theme. In this directory you also have a couple of product-logo's (the blue chromium icon), etc.

Well, be aware that all stable builds are also pushed as maintenance updates to the older distro's. So once this branding is in, then I guess within 1 or 2 months every openSUSE user would have it.
