Ambiance AppIcon (Application icon)

GTK2 Themes by yeaten 5 comments

Yes actually I did give them the credit for creating it. I didn't add my name to the AUTHOR line because I didn't author it, I modified it.

On my original posting for the modification it says:

"This version of Ambiance is a modification of the default theme and moved the controls back to their original position.

This is a direct modification of the default theme. The original name of this theme is Ambiance, this version of the theme is called Ambiance_R (Ambiance Right Side)."


So YES I stated it was a direct modification of the default theme. I didn't say I was the original author. I said I modified it.

However given that you took my modification and simply added to it, you should have in fact stated this on THIS page. Giving credit where credit is due.

Or it would have been better if you simply contacted me and we could have merged your work with the icon into my original modification, and updated the download for the theme. I would have been happy to have you work with me on adding your modification to the Ambiance_R theme.


Either way, I would simply accept the fact that you acknowledge that you took my work and added an additional modification to it.

I don't mind that you've repacked something that I worked on since you did add something new to it with the application icon. However I would have appreciated the courtesy of a credit for the modified theme since I had already released it, and you had commented on the page.

You'd rather install an application to modify the themes rather than have one available for the general public which already meets their needs?

Linux is about freedom of choice, many people have asked me for this theme and this is meeting those requests, if you don't like the theme you aren't required to use it, however, there are many people who do in fact want it and use it.

Releasing this theme benefits the community in general, you aren't required to like it or use it, however there are many people who do want it.

Enjoy! - Apr 29 2010

Using gconf to move the buttons around for a new user is not the optimal solution, because if they decide later that they want to move them back, then they have to use the gconf tool to manually edit the location once again.

Having the theme with them in the correct position to begin with is a much better solution.

Having this theme is something that numerous people requested that I make for them so that is what I did.

If it helps someone, then it isn't useless, in fact it benefits the community in general by having it. If you don't like it, then you aren't required to use it, however many people do like it and they are using it as their desktop theme.

Linux is about freedom and the ability to choose how we use our computers. This is simply giving us another choice.

Enjoy! - zipperback
