What is openmediavault-themekit?

OpenMediaVault is a piece of software for running a home network storage server, and it comes with a web interface for managing it. This project is a plugin for OpenMediaVault called Theme Kit that adds a new page under its System settings, letting a user deeply change how that web interface looks. With Theme Kit installed, a user can pick an accent color from a very large color palette, apply one of many ready made community themes with names like Catppuccin, Dracula, and Gruvbox, load custom Google Fonts for different typography, and even write their own custom CSS if they want full control. The README includes a large gallery of screenshots showing many of these themes applied to the interface. Under the hood, the chosen settings are saved in OpenMediaVault's own configuration database, and a system called Salt turns those settings into actual CSS files that the browser loads. Because OpenMediaVault updates sometimes overwrite parts of its web interface, this plugin also sets up a trigger that reruns the Salt process automatically whenever OpenMediaVault's web interface package is updated, so a chosen theme and fonts keep working instead of being wiped out. Configuration changes are handled through OpenMediaVault's own internal update system rather than a separate mechanism. This is a Debian package plugin meant to be installed onto an existing OpenMediaVault 8 system, and it is written primarily in CSS alongside the Salt configuration that ties it into OpenMediaVault. It is aimed at people who already run OpenMediaVault and want a more personalized looking dashboard.
