How to replace the name "Nextcloud" with "My Name" in the Desktop Client

Carmy · October 5, 2017, 9:22pm

Hello everyone,
I’m not a programmer, but I wanted to know if there’s a way to change the NexCloud name to the Windows Desktop Sync client program.

I tried if there was a tutorial, but I did not find anything.

Can someone help me?

Thank you

You have to build the clients yourself. The Nextcloud-Theme is just an example on how to create your own theme, this file looks like it contains the application name:

github.com

nextcloud/client_theming/blob/master/nextcloudtheme/OEM.cmake

set( APPLICATION_NAME       "Nextcloud" )
set( APPLICATION_SHORTNAME  "Nextcloud" )
set( APPLICATION_EXECUTABLE "nextcloud" )
set( APPLICATION_DOMAIN     "nextcloud.com" )
set( APPLICATION_VENDOR     "Nextcloud GmbH" )
set( APPLICATION_UPDATE_URL "https://updates.nextcloud.org/client/" CACHE string "URL for updater" )
set( APPLICATION_ICON_NAME  "Nextcloud" )

set( THEME_CLASS            "NextcloudTheme" )
set( APPLICATION_REV_DOMAIN "com.nextcloud.desktopclient" )
set( WIN_SETUP_BITMAP_PATH  "${OEM_THEME_DIR}/win" )

set( MAC_INSTALLER_BACKGROUND_FILE "${OEM_THEME_DIR}/osx/installer-background.png" CACHE STRING "The MacOSX installer background image")

set( THEME_INCLUDE          "${OEM_THEME_DIR}/nextcloudtheme.h" )
# set( APPLICATION_LICENSE    "${OEM_THEME_DIR}/license.txt )

option( WITH_CRASHREPORTER "Build crashreporter" OFF )
set( CRASHREPORTER_SUBMIT_URL "https://crash-reports.owncloud.com/submit" CACHE string "URL for crash reporter" )
set( CRASHREPORTER_ICON ":/owncloud-icon.png" )

Thank you for answering.
After you edit this file, how do I create an .exe file?

Thank you

I have never done it, I would start with the readme-file of the repo:

Is somebody in this community who build own theme?
