Developer: Document OS Integration #12
Description
Buddies of Budgie promotes the idea of operating systems / distributions being able to provide curated experiences on top of Budgie Desktop, should they choose. To facilitate this, Budgie Desktop leverages existing and exposes a wide range of settings via gschema / dconf user settings. Every distribution which ships Budgie Desktop has some form of a "branding" or "defaults" package that makes modifications to areas such as:
- Default panel layout
- GTK Widget and/or Icon Theme
- Defaults changing for built-in widgets
- Pre-pinned applications for IconTasklist
- Wallpaper, LightDM configuration, etc.
There is a modern example of this with fedora-budgie-desktop-defaults. Alongside documenting the process of overriding schemas, I want to provide a template (likely based on my work with the Fedora Budgie Spin defaults and my historical work with the budgie-desktop-branding in Solus) that potential future distributions can use as a reference point / building block.
