Problem/Motivation
When generating themes using the StarterKit script, some configuration issues arise due to overlap with varbase_default_content. This results in missing elements such as:
- Social share icons
- Footer copyright message
These issues occur because the default content is meant only for the Vartheme BS5 base theme, but the current StarterKit behavior applies it even to generated custom themes, where it doesn't belong.
Proposed resolution
- Updated the StarterKit script to conditionally support varbase_default_content only for the Vartheme BS5 base theme.
- Prevented configuration pollution in generated themes.
- Fixed missing assets and content for:
- Social share icons
- Footer message
- Updated all relevant
.stories.json files to align with the corrected default configurations and content expectations.
This ensures a clean developer experience with properly initialized content for Vartheme BS5, while keeping custom themes free from unnecessary or broken default content dependencies.
