I added the .png files to include-binaries instead of putting them in the patch.  Just the .xpm is in the patch. Looks like it all works and builds now.

Quilt was incorporated into dpkg some time ago so perhaps try the dpkg-source --commit abstraction:

Any change on a binary file is not representable in a diff and will thus  lead to a failure unless the maintainer deliberately decided to include that modified binary file in the debian tarball (by listing it in debian/source/include-binaries).  The build will also fail if it finds binary files in the debian sub-directory unless they have been whitelisted through debian/source/include-binaries.

Perhaps that means both that the relative pathname for png file (probably relative the directory containing the debian sub directory) must be mentioned in that included-binaries file, and then that the included-binaries file is maintained via quilt patching.
EDIT: or that the included-binaries file is just updated (without quilt-ing).

I've used that guide successfully on the deepsea theme, but this patch is failing. Here's my command history with relevant output:

### Clone the repo and checkout the working branch
git clone git@git.devuan.org:devuan/clearlooks-phenix-cinnabar-theme.git
cd clearlooks-phenix-cinnabar-theme/
git checkout suites/unstable

### apply existing patches (there's one active in the series file)
$ quilt push -a

Applying patch color-change
patching file gtk-2.0/gtkrc

Now at patch color-change

### Create new patch
$ quilt new top-left-active-fix

Patch top-left-active-fix is now on top

### Start making the changes 
$ quilt add xfwm4/top-left-active.xpm 
File xfwm4/top-left-active.xpm added to patch top-left-active-fix

$ cp ../top-left-active.xpm xfwm4/
$ quilt refresh
Refreshed patch top-left-active-fix

$ quilt add xfwm4/top-left-active.png 
File xfwm4/top-left-active.png added to patch top-left-active-fix

$ cp ../top-left-active.png xfwm4/
$ quilt refresh
Diff failed on file 'xfwm4/top-left-active.png', aborting

$ quilt add xfwm4/png/top-left-active.png 
File xfwm4/png/top-left-active.png added to patch top-left-active-fix

$ cp ../top-left-active.png xfwm4/png/
$ quilt refresh
Diff failed on file 'xfwm4/png/top-left-active.png', aborting

### Get rid of the failed patch and remove all the applied patches.
quilt delete top-left-active-fix
quilt pop -a

The .xpm file is a text file, and that works. The .png is a binary file, and I don't know if there's a different way to handle that. Other than that, I have no ideas about what's wrong. Suggestions are welcome.

Here's a link to the unstable branch, for reference: https://git.devuan.org/devuan/clearlook … s/unstable
