Yes, the Hydrocarbon theme is based on joppu's Carbon theme. I have never claimed its originality. Check the changelog for the attribution to the original author.

As to not being licensed to modifications, let me quote what the copyright file says in the original Carbon theme:

Jeah, Joppu is using Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 2.5 license but maybe he does not understand what that means? Why he won't comment on this thread?

The chat is here. I tried to explain:

@GrimmReaperNL - heh, I didn't notice it was a 3-pager. Plus it's easy, if unusual, to fake other peoples nicks on irc. Hence some caution in saying it was him for sure.

@D-livil ... I asked him to.

I have no idea. The license terms are clear enough though. And I am absolutely ok if he decides to bring my modifications back into Carbon: I am mainly making them to make the theme suitable for everyday use, not because I want to steal his fame

Yeah, I was kind of pissed of yesterday since you went on modifying my work without asking a permission or even acknowledging me of it (I would have even provided the SVG template and all if you would have asked). So yeah, sorry for being rude and all, I just had no idea packages were being distributed under such a permissive license by default. As I already stated, I just don't like doing stuff like this behind my back.

About the HydroCarbon, there are several factors I don't like. Carbon is all about gray (heh heh), so bright yellow and bright blue just don't cut it.

I know what the license means, it's just some Nokia leftovers, as you can see from the line
Copyright (c) 2008, 2009 Nokia Corporation, All rights reserved.
In short, I don't like people messing with my artistic integrity, so please at least notify me before forking my stuff.

You can modify what every you want for your own needs (yes, even commercial products, take a car for example). Distribution is a whole different story, but you used a licence that allows re-distribution also.

You haven't ever took a look at the copyright file in your themes?

Those are from gtkr -files right? They have Nokia copyright since they are generated by autobuilder using hildon-theme-tools and that copyright isn't a mistake.

It's from the copyright -file.

No harm in a bit of common courtesy, manners and patience for joppu to finish his exams...

I love this theme by the way, thank you joppu, and although I'm probably on my own, I actually like the edges in multi column lists..

i really want to like this theme because it kinda looks like its cellshaded, but there is just too much dark colors on top of dark colors. grey grey grey. it looks repetitive somehow... for example the loading bar, which is dark grey with a grey bar with black text on it.
i think it needs some flashy highlights.

The exams are luckily over now, and I removed the multicolumn stuff due to popular opinion.

There are some blue highlights in several places, but yes, it's mostly gray, gray and gray. And that's the point - I like it that way.
