A while ago I have asked in the forum, if the modified Lautus-theme of GreenteaOS could beintegrated in ReactOS https://www.reactos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=16788 Sadly the theme is called in GreenteaOS Lautus, too. Here the source of it https://github.com/GreenteaOS/Deprecated/tree/master/third-party/reactos/med... But it looks like Windows 8.
Here a screenshot of the Greentea Windows 8 like theme on ReactOS. Choose one link. I have uploaded it multiple times on multiple places, because some picture-uploading-sides delete its files from time to time

EmuandCo is against the integration of the Win8-theme in ReactOS. But he is the only ReactOS-developer in the ReactOS-forum. So I now also ask here, what the other developers thinking about it.
Greetings theuserbl
Please don't include any "GreenteaOS" stuff in ReactOS!!
Hermès.

While Hermès' answer is totally correct, let me outline our reasons for that.
First of all, you are right that ReactOS needs to work on its outer appearance. Many ReactOS developers agree with that and this is also what the press criticizes first on each ReactOS release.
However, that problem isn't solved by simply ripping off the Windows 8 look & feel and violating Microsoft's copyrights in the process. ReactOS needs a distinct theme to be memorized as a unique operating system and not just a poor copy of Windows.
Besides, GreenteaOS has imported their theme without any information about sources and copyrights (https://github.com/GreenteaOS/Deprecated/commit/1a75a25554427dc79a87a718ac67...) and apparently wants no association with ReactOS (https://github.com/GreenteaOS/Deprecated/commit/74db330786c0ee27bd76cf34a315...). Therefore, the only safe thing for us is staying away from any GreenteaOS files as well.
Cheers,
Colin

What about a unity-like desktop theme?

Isn't it fun that ppl simply don't understand a "NO" I give 'em in the forums?! I even explained why and that GreenteaOS is not more than stolen ROS code (*) filled with questionable code sources like the betaarchive forums. So "NO" means go on the other dev's nerves for a ugly theme violating our and MS's copyrights? Not really my definition of "NO", but thanks all that you support my answer ^^
As always the fitting motto for this: Think first, THEN talk!
Greetings
Daniel "EmuandCo" Reimer
