Hello everybody in the community,

http://xubuntu.org/dev/derivatives/

If you are a derivative developer, we look forward to communicating more
with you in the future!

Dear Pasi,

I'm one of those who develop xubuntu-based derivative.
I read the guideline and would like to follow the guideline, and I'm
wondering about themes.

I see some themes such as greybird or albatros under xubuntu-artwork.

When you say, "This restriction and requirement applies to all artwork
shipped with a derivative, from the installer slideshow to the
documentation and all artwork across packages." does it also point to
those themes as well?

I'm asking because some themes are distributed under GPLv2 or later
and CC-BY-SA 3.0 or later. Am I correct to understand that those
themes do not interfere the guideline?

Best regards,

Kiyotaka

Dear Pasi,

Sorry, I overlooked "Packages with Xubuntu branding will be updated
shortly." at the bottom of the guideline.

I will wait for the update.

Best regards,

Kiyotaka

Hey Kiyotaka!

Themes like Greybird and Albatross aren't part of the Xubuntu branding.
That said, we should likely make it completely clear in the guidelines
that dependencies for the xubuntu-* packages aren't something
derivatives need to remove - unless explicitly mentioned.

So to answer the question: You can still keep on using them, simply pull
in greybird-gtk-theme and albatross-gtk-theme (for 14.10 and later) or
shimmer-themes (for 14.04 and older - or for all the shimmer themes in
14.10 and later).

Thanks for the good question :)

Cheers,
Pasi
