Can you elaborate on what you mean by "package the themes"?

@IndiJones76 I plan to add dynamic theme loading and they could be selected from the applet properties . The extra themes are made by brokoli , not me . So if I put them all in my repository it will be a bad thing .

@Wimpy Have to be more clear , sorry . The themes made by @brokoli .

Packaging has commenced. Iā€™ll provide a PPA soon.

@IvCHo mate-window-applets is packages for Debian/Ubuntu and upload to Debian unstable awaiting final review.

@brokoli @IndiJones76 I would like to ship your themes for mate-window-applets in Ubuntu MATE 18.04. Can you please make sure you update your GitHub repos to clearly license your work so I can comply for packaging policies? Thanks!

what license should it be? Isnā€™t it already compatible? Iā€™m new to all this stuff.

Usualy since its open source it needs to be either a gpl ,lgpl or mit .

51

@brokoli I see youā€™ve already selected GPLv3. So Iā€™m good to go :slight_smile:

52

I also have the license on GPL v3.

Iā€™ve add a new theme sinse last reply and improved arc theme behavior, so maybe youā€™ll want to use them.

54

Canā€™t open your repository. Have you delete it?

55

Yes I have . I moved to xfce for reasons + I donā€™t have mutch time . And I am not developing it anymore . I have a copy of the src if someone wanā€™ts to fork it.

56

Thereā€™s also the recently revived Window Buttons applet from GNOME Panel, if someone wants to fork it for MATE and share code between them.

I was thinking the same thing . The only thing need to be done is transition from the gnome-panel API to mate-panel API a.k.a rename some function names and replace libgnome panel applet with libmate panel applet , since mate panel applet and gnome panel ( from flashback ) originate from the old gnome panel code.

58

Maybe you can give me the copy so i can at least upload the current version if somebody want to install it?
