This tool allows you to create a "default settings" package for Ubuntu. The
"ubuntu-defaults-template" script will generate a source package with the
customizable settings (e. g. desktop/background.jpg and
webbrowser/bookmarks-menu.txt). When built and installed, it will take the
necessary actions to modify the system-wide defaults for desktops, programs,
etc.
.
The main purpose for this is to provide a standard and safe way to create
localized Ubuntu images, or OEM custom projects.
.
You can customize the following settings:
.
* Web browser start page, default search engine, and bookmarks (supports
Firefox right now)
* Unity/Unity 2D launchers
* Desktop background (for GNOME right now)
* Default desktop session in LightDM/gdm
* Default radio stations in Rhythmbox and Banshee
* Extra dependencies (Depends: and Recommends:), i. e. packages that are
installed by default on the customized image
* Internationalization (default locale, keyboard layout, language support)
(only for built images, not configured by the defaults package itself)
