1、Use Cases


The openKylin Theme Workshop is designed for individual users, corporate users, and developers.

Developers, meanwhile, are encouraged to use the workshop to deeply engage with system customization, discovering more creative possibilities.

After selecting a theme type, users are guided to add the required assets according to interface prompts. Once relevant information is added, the system will generate the theme package in the selected save path in the top-right corner of the interface. After installation, users can select the theme in the Control Panel.

If users partially edit a theme and then exit, the system prompts them to save a history record. This history can be accessed from the main interface for up to 30 days, enabling users to continue editing at their convenience.
