+# uconsole-custom-theme
+
+A private theme payload used by my custom uConsole image build. It ships artwork and theming assets (wallpapers, splash, avatars) that are referenced by scripts/config during the image build.
+
+## Important
+
+This package is not intended for public use and will not work on its own. It assumes the custom image build will place and reference these assets appropriately.
+
+To build a custom image that consumes these assets, see: [ClockworkPi-pi-gen](https://github.com/ak-rex/ClockworkPi-pi-gen) (Huge thank you to [ak-rex](https://linktr.ee/ak_rex)).
+
+## Notes
+
+- Designed to be pulled by the image build via APT
+- Replace/override files from Raspberry Pi UI packages as part of the build theming
