We intentionally ship the Calamares package with its generic default branding, because we expect every remix using Calamares to want to show its own name in the installer anyway, and because we do not want remixes to accidentally run afoul of any trademark guidelines because they forgot to rebrand Calamares. In order to brand Calamares, you have to create the YAML file /etc/calamares/branding/default/branding.desc with the following contents (note that the "---" line is part of the expected contents): --- componentName: default strings: productName: My Remix shortProductName: My Remix version: 21 shortVersion: 21 versionedName: My Remix 21 shortVersionedName: My Remix 21 bootloaderEntryName: My Remix images: productLogo: "/usr/share/calamares/branding/default/squid.png" productIcon: "/usr/share/calamares/branding/default/squid.png" slideshow: - "/usr/share/calamares/branding/default/squid.png" You can of course change the values of the settings as you please. Image (picture) files can be given as relative paths, but only relative to /etc/calamares/branding/default, not to /usr/share/calamares/branding/default or any other path (e.g., just "squid.png" would only work if you copy or symlink /usr/share/calamares/branding/default/squid.png to /etc/calamares/branding/default/squid.png). The bootloaderEntryName setting will be used in the GRUB 2 configuration. The branding.desc file can be created from your *-release package or directly in your live kickstart. You can also override other configuration files under /usr/share/calamares by placing modified or new versions into /etc/calamares, but only the above file is required for branding. -- Kevin Kofler, packager of Calamares
