Recommendations

  1. Consider adding more slideshow images for the Calamares installer
  2. Add a script to generate additional color variations of the theme
  3. Include instructions for creating a custom cursor theme to match the branding
  4. Add more detailed testing procedures for different desktop environments

These recommendations are optional enhancements and do not affect the completeness or correctness of the current documentation.
