• Issue:

  • eLux 7 devices cannot use the Corporate Design Packager for theme creation.

  • A UI-based feature will be added later in the Scout Board.

  • In the meantime, themes must be applied manually using file transfers and commands.

• Process Overview:

  • Use Scout Console to transfer theme files and apply them with custom commands.

  • Customize the following files:

    • desktopBackgroundImage.jpg → desktop background

    • productImage.png and brandImage.png → branding elements

    • config.json → theme properties (e.g., name, accent color)

• Prepare Theme Files:

  • Retrieve default theme files from /setup/elux/themes/unicon_default.

  • Edit images and config.json as needed.

  • Ensure all images are ≤500 kB.

  • Example config.json:

     

     

    {
      "name": "custom",
      "accentColor": "#b042f5"
    }
    

• Create Custom Theme Folder:

  • In Scout Console, run a custom command:

     

     

    mkdir /setup/elux/themes/custom
    

  • Replace custom with your preferred theme name.

  • Enable Run with System Rights and execute.

• Transfer Theme Files:

  • In Scout Console, go to Advanced Device Configuration → Files → Transfer Files.

  • Upload customized files to /setup/elux/themes/custom.

• Apply Custom Theme:

  • Run command in Scout Console:

     

     

    ucsettingsctl -o Desktop -v CurrentTheme=custom
    

  • Replace custom with the theme name defined in config.json.

• Restart Device:

  • Restart the device to activate the custom theme.

  • Result:
  • 
  • 

• Notes:

  • This method ensures consistent corporate design until the Scout Board feature is available.

  • Always test on a single device before deploying across multiple devices or OUs.
