It contains all these themes in Windows 10 x64. "winnative clam alt default classic vista xpnative" Based of [0] (the best source I could find), "winnative", "vista", "xpnative" are Windows-only but built-in themes and "clam", "alt", "default", "classic" are built-in themes for all OSes. And this is part of the reason I am considering "default" to be the base of the new theme that I want to create instead of "vista".

Ok.

No, I want to imitate the look. And I don't actually know much about the license or legal side of the software so I try to avoid it at all costs and start from scratch. Kinda like "Linux is Unix-like, but it doesn't contain Unix's code" - The great Linus Torvalds.

The "equilux" theme is GPLv3, but I didn't find a license file in the repo. In the "Help > About" part of Git GUI, you mentioned it being GPL(I think v1). Please include it in the repo too.
