conquest10, either; 1) you haven't been around long, or 2) you're trying to get peoples backs up. If its the latter, then I have one word for you: Orange.

Reply to WinXP skins / StyleXP in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

"Well, would it be possible to "borrow" those ideas from the ones I mentioned? Or is WB limited in that resepect? Or what is the limiting factor?" 1) Actually I think you'll find that WindowBlinds is a bit more flexible that xpstyles. 2) And it was all that "borrowing" that caused the rift in the first place.

Depends what you want to skin, but universally the best way IMO, is to download a skin that you like, (preferably not to complex at first), and see how it was put together. I'm sure the other guys/gals have some better tips for you.

XRAY: "haha zathrus..i think you got a DIRTY mind..." Always. - Thanks Koop, for explaining that. Coming from basically an atheistic(?) family I never really learned about things like that. For those that do celebrate the religous aspects of these holidays, I wish you a happy Hanukah too. <img

Reply to My rant -Is there REALLY a skin "community"? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I'm suprised that OS makers out there haven't enlisted PixStudios to do their UIs yet. Dammit that suite is just beautiful. I'm just wondering personally how easy it would be for me give away something like that for free. (thats assuming I was capable of making something that good.. not yet.. not by a long shot. )

Paxx: "Why is it that every time Styles XP is bought on, people automatically speak of ripping?" You need only have a look at one of the XP theme sites to get your answer.. Check some Alexandrie rips at http://www.boomgames.com/xpthemes/ The ratio of original to ripped works is way off.

Now if those "proper" XP skins weren't a combination of re-coloured Luna skins, and rips (ie: PreLuna), then you may have a point. Until then I'm not really interested. Don't get me wrong, bezerka, I have no issues with you at all. I just don't like the mentality thats surrounding these .msstyles and those who are making them, (note: not all of them, just the rippers). PS: I also class all these recoloured Luna skins as rips.. Really, enough is enough. Blahg...
