maxieds / geyesthemes Goto Github PK

I was convinced this wouldn't happen in my bad mood about the subject matter. It turns out that the Gnome core developers in charge of the GEyes applet are more enlightened than some others. You can read more here (login and account probably required). Or, I will just post the relevant contents below:

Pull request: Girl-ish GEyes themes for the ladies on Linux

Alberts Muktupāvels @muktupavels · 1 year ago (Maintainer):

Hmm, GitHub now has many eyes... Now I am not sure what to do...

Maybe it should stay separate and gnome-applets should somehow provide info / dir where to install extra themes?

Well I have nothing against merging some new themes, but there must be some limit I think.

Maxie D. Schmidt @maxieds (2 weeks ago):

Thank you so much for actually merging this request! There are women who will not forego their Gnome box and terminal, and many of us have non-blueish eye tints. I will change the description mentioning that this PR was ignored by the core GEyes developers on my GitHub pinned repos ?list.

The back story on this was that I semi-recently got very ticked at the name of some massive machismo male jerk faces from ancient CS times about standards of personal and professional behavior. A post about one of them was liked on social media by a famous classy professor woman, so it may have actually reached a receptive audience. You are clearly not what the complaint was about. I hope your significant other didn't hit you, or squeeze your arm too much on this one.

The full repo is really just an artistic expansion of my Linux box using the GIMP and early morning hours time. Some of the mathy artwork for custom eyeballs are also nice for math and science people who get to know a good Gnome desktop. I will list a few of my favorites: the Euler gamma theme, PI day is coming up soon, concrete math book, and for sysadmins.
