# Third-party notices The `themes/` directory contains color palettes adapted from third-party open source projects. This file records, for each one, the upstream project, its license, and the exact copyright line that license requires be reproduced. Every upstream listed here was verified against its actual LICENSE file rather than against secondhand claims. Where verification turned up a gap, the gap is stated plainly instead of being papered over with a plausible-looking name. ## What "adapted" means None of these files are verbatim copies. Upstream projects publish palettes as editor themes, Vim colorschemes, or design tokens; none ship a file in makeover's intent schema. Each theme here re-expresses an upstream palette into that schema, mapping colors onto roles (`surface`, `content`, `action`, `status`, `line`, `category`) and deriving interactive states perceptually. The hex values originate upstream. The structure, role assignments, and derived tokens are this project's work. The adaptations are offered under this project's MIT license. The underlying palettes remain the work of their original authors, credited below. ## Adapted themes | Theme files | Upstream | License | Copyright | |---|---|---|---| | `akari-dawn`, `akari-night` | [Akari](https://github.com/cappyzawa/akari-theme) | MIT | Copyright (c) 2025 Shu Kutsuzawa | | `ayu-mirage` | [Ayu](https://github.com/dempfi/ayu) | MIT | Copyright (c) 2016 Ike Kurghinyani | | `ayu-light` | [ayu-colors](https://github.com/ayu-theme/ayu-colors) | MIT | Copyright (c) Konstantin Pschera \ | | `carbonfox`, `dawnfox`, `nightfox` | [nightfox.nvim](https://github.com/EdenEast/nightfox.nvim) | MIT | Copyright (c) 2021 James Simpson | | `catppuccin-frappe`, `catppuccin-latte`, `catppuccin-macchiato`, `catppuccin-mocha` | [Catppuccin](https://github.com/catppuccin/catppuccin) | MIT | Copyright (c) 2021 Catppuccin | | `dracula` | [Dracula](https://github.com/dracula/dracula-theme) | MIT | Copyright (c) 2023 Dracula Theme | | `everforest` | [Everforest](https://github.com/sainnhe/everforest) | MIT | Copyright (c) 2019 sainnhe | | `flatwhite` | [flatwhite-syntax](https://github.com/biletskyy/flatwhite-syntax) | MIT (see note) | no holder named upstream | | `gruvbox-dark`, `gruvbox-light` | [gruvbox](https://github.com/morhetz/gruvbox) | MIT/X11 asserted (see note) | no holder named upstream | | `kanagawa` | [kanagawa.nvim](https://github.com/rebelot/kanagawa.nvim) | MIT | Copyright (c) 2021 Tommaso Laurenzi | | `nord` | [Nord](https://github.com/nordtheme/nord) | MIT | Copyright (c) 2016-present Sven Greb \ | | `one-dark` | [Atom One Dark](https://github.com/atom/one-dark-syntax) | MIT | Copyright (c) 2016 GitHub Inc. | | `oxocarbon-dark`, `oxocarbon-light` | [oxocarbon.nvim](https://github.com/nyoom-engineering/oxocarbon.nvim) | MIT | Copyright (c) 2022 Riccardo Mazzarini | | `poimandres` | [poimandres-theme](https://github.com/drcmda/poimandres-theme) | MIT | Copyright (c) 2023 drcmda | | `rosepine`, `rosepine-dawn` | [Rosé Pine](https://github.com/rose-pine/neovim) | MIT | Copyright (c) 2023 Rosé Pine | | `solarized-dark` | [Solarized](https://github.com/altercation/solarized) | MIT | Copyright (c) 2011 Ethan Schoonover | | `tokyonight` | [Tokyo Night](https://github.com/tokyo-night/tokyo-night-vscode-theme) | MIT | Copyright (c) 2018-present Enkia | Several of these credit a person where the project is better known by a GitHub handle, because the license names the person: nightfox.nvim is James Simpson (handle EdenEast), oxocarbon.nvim is Riccardo Mazzarini (hosted under the nyoom-engineering org), and Atom One Dark is GitHub Inc. ## Notes on incomplete upstream licensing Two upstreams assert permissive terms but provide no copyright holder, so there is no line to reproduce. Both are long-established and widely redistributed as MIT. They are included on that basis, with the gap recorded rather than filled in by guesswork. **gruvbox** ships no LICENSE file. Its README states only "MIT/X11", linking to a Wikipedia article rather than to license text, and names no holder. Pavel Pertsev (morhetz) is the repository owner and apparent author, but that name appears in no license document. **flatwhite-syntax** ships an MIT license whose holder field was never filled in; it reads literally ``. biletskyy is the repository owner and apparent author. If you maintain either project, we would gladly correct this entry: adding or completing a LICENSE file upstream is all it takes. ## Removed **Material Palenight** was previously bundled and has been removed. It was credited to Mattia Astorino under MIT; both fields were wrong. The original Material Theme was retroactively relicensed to proprietary terms in February 2025 with its commit history rewritten, and its repository path now redirects to a commercial product. A genuinely MIT-licensed unofficial port exists ([whizkydee/vscode-palenight-theme](https://github.com/whizkydee/vscode-palenight-theme), Copyright (c) 2017-present Olaolu Olawuyi), but it derives from that same palette, so the chain of permission cannot be audited. The theme was dropped rather than shipped on an unverifiable basis. ## Original themes `akari-dawn` and `akari-night` are adaptations, listed above. The following are this project's own work and carry no third-party claim: - `makenotwork` — the makenot.work platform palette - `goingson` — the GoingsOn application palette - `audiofiles` — the audiofiles application palette - `high-contrast` — an accessibility-oriented palette - `neobrute` — a cooler-toned light palette sharing an ancestry with `goingson` ## Corrections If any attribution here is wrong, incomplete, or you would prefer your work not be included, open a ticket or write to info@makenot.work and it will be corrected or removed.
