Just installed the theme Ambiance-Gentoo from the package x11-themes/light-themes for my Gnome3 desktop. I just had to get rid of those orange buttons :) Reproducible: Always
Created attachment 368924 [details] Gentoo centric colored buttons
Any note regarding the license of the images? ;)
I altered the originals with the gimp. The original theme is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution Share-alike license v3.0. TBH I am not very knowledgeable in this area and would need guidance to proceed :) https://launchpad.net/light-themes
I guess you can simply relicense your icons as Creative Commons Attribution Share-alike license v3.0 too then, but will CC licenses team to ensure as I neither know much about it :S
I would use CC-BY-SA, like the originals. This is the by far simplest solution. Note that you need to provide attribution with your distributed package.
OK here is the full licence from light-themes: Creative Commons - Attribution Share Alike, Other/Open Source (Unless otherwise indicated, artwork is available under the Creative Commons Attribution Share-alike license v3.0 or any later version.

I changed the colors. The ubuntu-themes project was not involved with these changes.
I've committed a plain text version of http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode as licenses/CC-BY-SA-4.0 and also added it to the MISC-FREE-DOCS license group.

Does that attribution need to be installed too (I don't think so, but... :/)
(In reply to Pacho Ramos from comment #8) > What would be the better way to include the statement from comment #6? Does > that attribution need to be installed too (I don't think so, but... :/) Section 3(a) of CC-BY-SA-4.0 answers this. In a nutshell: All previous copyright and license notices must be retained, and it must be indicated that the material has been modified. This can be done "in any reasonable manner", so appending the statement to the existing notices should be enough.
Created attachment 369708 [details] change color from orange to Gentoo centric for entry box's, sliders, etc Change remaining items with orange color. The path to this folder is: /usr/share/themes/Ambiance-Gentoo/gtk-3.0/ This fixes the search boxes, combo boxes, radio buttons, sliders, toolbar buttons, etc
Ooops, I forgot to close the bug when bumping -r3 :S *light-themes-0.1.93-r3 (02 Feb 2014) 02 Feb 2014; Pacho Ramos <pacho@gentoo.org> +light-themes-0.1.93-r3.ebuild, -light-themes-0.1.8.32.ebuild, -light-themes-0.1.93.ebuild: Provide icons with a Gentoo-style coloring by David Abbott (#499506), thanks to Ulrich Muller for his help with licensing. Drop old. If you have time to update it to -r4 providing your new images... (otherwise I will probably do this weekend ;))
Also, just seen yac's mail about: https://github.com/yaccz/gentoo-color-palette Maybe it will interest you :)
