Ok,[grins] I think what I have been trying to say Alexandrie is that I DO want to go on to more of my own creations, but I really hate leaving bugs in skins.
I guess I want people to realise one day soon that I am not Just an XP Author, but can create my own things. But i will have to show people this in the future.
As for XP all I can say is ..
it actually amazes me how after the amount of updates which have been done in Sections such as Desktop X and Object Bar, that I seem to get the MOSt flack for doing XP. Some of the Authors in this sections have done between them easily 20- 30 odd updates ? I could not count for sure as there is so many. How ever, I have not seen one word posted on the themes complaining about it.
Many of the authors of course have never drawn a single pixel of the theme and have used what others uploaded before them. It still happens now too. They call themselve skinners and artists, but nothing they uploaded is even a pixel of there own creation,.
This is where my work on XP differs. Even though it is still classified as being un original, and not new, I made many of these files specifically for use in the themes I did. I did use a paint brush, as well as many other tools within a Paint program, but at the end of the day I cannot claim any kind of copyright to them. This is fine for me, but at the end of the day I am still the author of that particualar theme. so if some one comes along and uses the graphics I made, and say's 'Oh I downloaded them from a certain place'
Well you can see by this they are just lying, but when you see in there theme the very graphics you uploaded, and know that they are the same ones you made. In this case it really is hard to complain about it because it comes from an OS/ is based on an OS's graphics.
So this is part of the reason I want to some of my own work.. At least balance my submissions out now, so it is all not one thing.
