# Theme Asset Credits

The NexusOS theme is assembled from original work plus assets adapted from the following upstream projects. All upstream sources are GPL-3.0 (or compatible), so the NexusOS theme inherits GPL-3.0.

## Sources

### WhiteSur GTK Theme — `gtk-2.0/`, `xfwm4/`
- **Project**: https://github.com/vinceliuice/WhiteSur-gtk-theme
- **Author**: Vince Liu (vinceliuice)
- **License**: GPL-3.0
- **Variant used as base**: `WhiteSur-Dark-purple`
- **What we use**: The entire `gtk-2.0/` and `xfwm4/` directories are cloned verbatim from WhiteSur-Dark-purple. We rely on these for macOS-style window controls (stoplight buttons) and the GTK2 application skin.

### Mint-Y Icon Theme — `NexusOS-icons/` (folder geometry reference)
- **Project**: https://github.com/linuxmint/mint-y-icons
- **Author**: Linux Mint team
- **License**: GPL-3.0
- **What we use**: Visual reference only for the folder shape language (flat folder with tab + lip). No PNGs are copied from Mint-Y; our folder set is regenerated from scratch via `NexusOS-icons-src/build.py` against a master SVG we authored.

## NexusOS-original content
- `gtk-3.0/*.css` — original work
- `NexusOS-icons-src/*` and the rendered output in `NexusOS-icons/places/` — original work
- The `n-small.png` badge composited into `folder-nexus-core` is the NexusOS logo at `nexus-core/assets/n-small.png`
- `index.theme` files in each theme directory — original work
