moshi moshi

and a rip report

and a rip report

in a recent thread i had to read the following: "moshi Where is this LCARS interface then? Oh yeah it fictional, and only exists on a tv show! At least i've made it reality or closer than eney one else has! You try and make a theme that complex."

i was pretty surprised as all the images in this theme looked very familiar. a few years ago i was really interested in emulating the LCARS interface and i have seen all of those before...

as the use of trademarked logos is allowed at Wincustomize (the guidelines speak of "theoretical copyrights" - whatever that may be) we should not discuss about those, but rather about the ordinary theft we all can agree about.

i am speaking about this theme: https://www.wincustomize.com/window.asp?Cmd=COMMENTS&Lib=3&SkinID=2445

download it and have a look at mainback 2.BMP

it contains a resized, cut and pasted rip of this image: http://www.lcarscom.net/images/galaxy.jpg at lcarscom.net. even the link is still there, but resized to be unreadable.

personally i think that nothing that is more complicated than black text on a uni-colored background and vice versa was created by the skinner. but it is not my job to search every single rip in this theme. one is already one too much, right?
