Overview

gNewSense is an operating system based on Debian. The upcoming version of gNewSense, version 4, will be based on Debian 7, also known as Wheezy. As a derivative, gNewSense needs to modify some components of the system so that they look like gNewSense and refer to gNewSense resources instead of Debian’s.

Aurora is a visual theme for gNewSense made to replace Debian’s default appearance. It includes wallpapers, background images for different components of the system, an icon theme and themes for different desktop environments such as GNOME, KDE and Xfce.
