Welcome again, I want also suggest another option of rebranding. We can use our 3.6.4 design with only very small change (slightly changed colors/borders) and give users an option to CHANGE DEFAULT GREEN COLOR (eg. from Windows or ready palette) - it could be a window after first app start with

Another option is to ask for Mateus's license statement and incorporate some elements from his design like the dog ear or the green progress indicator into Maxim's. The two proposals fit well together, and I feel this decision would be fair to both Mateus and Maxim. Please try out the current
