That's just the chicago theme I'va had for years now on my XFCE, I think it's a bit lame to steal that theme (not from Microsoft but the maker of that xfce theme), put it in a repository, give it a different name, and pose it as your own work?

The repo literally adds nothing, just a name change.



> a bit lame to steal that theme

Do you mean reuse/copy/redistribute? Which is what the GPL-3.0+/MIT license that the theme uses is meant for?

> Based on Fedora Atomic Xfce with the Chicago95 theme.

The readme has a direct link out to it in the 2nd sentence, that's pretty clear credit


I think the main difference is that it’s a fully set up installable ISO of Fedora Atomic XFCE with the theme and other tweaks preloaded which is a convenient thing to have, I guess. Also they do credit Chicago95 pretty much at the top of the README.
