I'm designing a theme for my Gnome shell. It's a sort of earth-tone, minimalist theme that I have not found yet on Gnome look. Since I'm not very knowledgeable about shell theming, I just copied the .themes/ folder of my existing "MetalX" theme (that I like a lot) and am just working off its CSS sheet, so I don't have to start from scratch. Pretty much all I'm changing are colors, perhaps a font or two, size of panel, corner image and maybe one or two other images. My question is, if I would want to share the theme, how much do I have to change it to make it "mine"- or should I have started from scratch? I really don't want to rip off the great guys who designed MetalX, so how should I share this? (if I decide to)
