Whow - edited

I have been watching the progress of this Windowblind which has been going through a lot of 'live' work in progress over at DA and I must say I am very impressed with what I have seen and it could be a very popular Windowblind. If the guy needs Skin Studio 6 to complete the work hopefully someone at Stardock will see this thread and make a nice gesture to a good up and coming artist   

Sigh, another Vista clone - that's all we need  :NOTSURE: 

Was thinking the same thing. :NOTSURE:

Taken from the skin description all he/she did was rip apart other people skins that were ripped from other peoples skins, that were ripped from other peoples skins that were ripped from Kol's original skin that was ripped from Microsofts Aero theme.

I used only the best combinations from all released styles, equipped with images from Aero.msstyles, added perfect frames from Vista's screenshots and much more small details. I may add few colors to the final release too.



He deserves nothing. The skin supposedly still has Diamond images in it and that's blatent copyright infringement. The skin should be removed until all Diamond images are removed from the skin and the Author should try to make an original image.

^What he said.

i agree with Night train and fuzzy *sigh* another vista clone and that he deserves nothing.
as to it being the best ever aero theme, i beg to differ. i think for one vistamen's themes are better than this one.

I can either install that skin, or...........





unload Windowblinds and use the default theme.

whoop de do. if i wanted vista to look like vista, i'd unload wb

hm, well if you have xp and you want it to look like vista - this one is defenitly the way to go.

There are a lot of real vista images in it

Obviously, you don't get what people are saying to you. The people here do not generally support, condone, endorse or otherwise grant merit to works that are created by ripping components of the work of others unless expressed permission from the original author has been given. The author has alredy admitted to those actions in the description of the theme.
It's just more example of how DA tends to deal with issues like this. That theme has well over 30 pages of comments on it and is allowed to stay up even though the author himself has admitted that he stole the graphics.

Agree with Night Train, this author deserves NOTHING!

maybe I cannot read - he says where he got the stuff from, and that he has permission - even diamond is available as base for another skin, so ??

From the description of the file at DA:


Ruben,
Giving credit is NOT the same as getting permission. No where in the zip file does it have anything resembling permission from the original authors.
It also slays me that fediafedia has the gall to say that some images are copyrighted to him/her and may not be used without permission. I would be curious as to what exactly was original work by this... "artist" and why permission is needed to use those graphics while no permission was gained to rip others work.

It is more or less a patched together skin using other peoples work via different sources and not done particularly well.

This isn't skinning.. imo and certainly isn't original.

Gulp!!!!   Perhaps I should have looked a bit closer

It aint cool and it aint clever. I get so tired of seeing unoriginal skins like these over on DA all the time.
Dont give him anything other than a few emails about the violation of copyrighted material.
To the gallows with Aero Ultimate Beta 4!!....lol.....

I'm gonna wait until it's almost done, download it, load into sks6pro, touch it up and post it as my very own deviation


If I touch it up, I deviated it right?

Either that or you are diviated!  

Exactly

Didn't work for me... still looks like XP

 dint work for me either..    

Double dare ya

Well actually I have seen this skin and sorry to say its a rip. Part of it belongs to Stardock, part of it belongs to me and I think every other skinner out there. I actually downloaded it and took it apart. Overall not very good either. If you guys want a link to it, I can give you one...

..... same here. .. curious ain't it?

Must be a conspiracy!!!
