Add epsilon color scheme #7

Closed N3mesis98 closed 6 years ago

elextr commented 8 years ago

Maybe needs a name change, a quick google shows there is a commercial wordpress theme also called epsilon.

N3mesis98 commented 8 years ago

Oh, I was not aware that this could cause some problems. I will rename the theme to gEpsilon to avoid this clash...

codebrainz commented 8 years ago

There is no problem naming something with the same common word as something completely else. If there were, we'd have a lot more problems with other theme names than Epsilon.

elextr commented 8 years ago

Maybe I wasn't clear about the concern, it is not that Epsilon is a common word, it is that it is the name of a commercial theme for another tool.

If this theme has a similar "look and feel" and is named after a commercial theme, even if its for another tool, then the owner of that theme may feel they need to protect their "property".

It depends how they approach it, but a takedown request could conceivably see the whole Geany organisation removed from Github.

@elextr yeah I got it, I just don't think it's an issue. A website theme and syntax colour scheme are almost completely different things, except they both use colours.

If you want to pick nits, there are far "worse" "issues" of "property" in geany-themes. For example the Github theme uses the Github name (probably trademarked) as well as intentionally uses colours inspired by their source code highlighting scheme. Similarly the Ubuntu theme uses the Ubuntu name (probably trademarked) as well as using the theme colours from their product.

I think any of this is a complete non-issue that adding a g prefix won't affect. Let's leave lawyering for lawyers :)

Ubuntu is likely similar, but it changes its theme often enough that it might have some trouble enforcing it.

Agree adding a g won't help :)

It appears that github will remove the repository thats subject to a takedown on 24 hours notice, not the entire organisation. Since thats only the themes its not so bad.

N3mesis98 commented 8 years ago

I will remove that last commit then.

N3mesis98 commented 8 years ago

So, the pull request is lying in this state for quite some time now. Is there something I must change for this theme to be accepted ?

codebrainz commented 8 years ago

No, it looks quite good, I just haven't gotten around to testing it and merging the PR yet.

codebrainz commented 6 years ago

Sorry for the long delay.
