Excerpt from #think-digit:

<d1g1t> I’ll make a theme!
<d1g1t> any tutorials? o_o
<d1g1t> I’ll make the suckiest theme ever to be seen on linux! it’ll be dugg by someone and people will hate it so much, they’ll buy windows and windowblinds. I’ll be a revolutionary, then there will be an autobiogrphy, fan sites and stuff
<ray|raven> d1g1t: http://live.gnome.org/GnomeArt/Tutorials/GtkThemes
<ray|raven> hahahahaha
<d1g1t> I’m serious
<d1g1t> people will regret switching to linux
<ray|raven> d1g1t: am gonna paste that suckiest idea of urs on the irc thread
<d1g1t> :O
<d1g1t> its not just an idea
<d1g1t> its the root of a revolution in the linux world
<d1g1t> mark my words
<ray|raven> ok im marking
<ray|raven> :-D
<d1g1t> then erase with good eraser
<d1g1t> o_o
<ray|raven> lol
<d1g1t> hey, does having the GPL license mean I can just rename a theme and show it off as my own?
<ray|raven> brb , posting d1g1t fantasy on irc thread
<d1g1t> :-(
<_Garbage_> d1g1t, u MUST give credit to the Original author
<d1g1t> oh
<d1g1t> in a little corner (with small fonts) would be ok?
<ray|raven> lol nice idea d1g1t
<_Garbage_> d1g1t, yup.. but you MUST
<d1g1t> what if the font size is 0? theoritically his name is there
<d1g1t> I should become a lawyer!
<d1g1t> another revolution in the software license world!
<_Garbage_> d1g1t, u must create a document with font size 0
<ray|raven> lol someone kick d1g1t :-P
<_Garbage_> d1g1t, u R el33t if u can create a document with font size 0…
<d1g1t> what
<d1g1t> ok, font size 1 is ok
<d1g1t> will look like a dot
<_Garbage_> d1g1t, I think, font size never gets below 4
<_Garbage_> d1g1t, and if it is simple text file, formatting won’t work :-D
<d1g1t> i can get font size 0 on GIMP
<d1g1t> a little image file won’t be a problem
<_Garbage_> d1g1t, how can u put image in Text file ?
<d1g1t> it’ll be a README.html
<d1g1t> hohoho
<d1g1t> the image could also be linked to the author’s site
<d1g1t> to “give him the credit”
<d1g1t> i want credits in large fonts
<ray|raven> lolol d1g1t , give it a rest already
<d1g1t> that’ll be a different license
<ray|raven> lol credits in a diff license
<d1g1t> DPL: Credit must in large fonts. The Credit must be visible to both to the naked and clothed eye

After trying to learn to theme

<d1g1t> I GIVE UP WITH THE THEME. ITS SO DIFFICULT
<ray|raven> d1g1t: what happened to autobiogrpahies n autographs n shit?
