Distros: Customize name, description, icon, etc. of the OS in config
Allow users to customize the name, description, icon, etc. of the OS directly within the configuration.
Details
The proposal aims to provide users with the ability to personalize their Puter instance more deeply by adding fields for customizing visual parameters of the OS in a dedicated distro.json
file:
-
name
(used for browser window title, About window, and neofetch command) -
description
(used for About window and introduction in AI system message) -
icon
-
ascii_art
(used for neofetch command) -
login_background
-
default_apps
This customization will help in aligning the OS presentation with personal preferences or corporate branding. Of course this involves the acknowledgement of Puter by e.g. adding a second paragraph after the description in the About window: "This is a Puter distribution." or something like that.
Potential Future Enhancements
- Extending customization to include themes and color schemes.
