all I do is say "still lurking" once a day

8 words over your self prescribed quota ain't ya?

Hey guys
I have been very productive over the past 3 days
I will be realising:
a windows blinds skin (nothing fancey just a black version of the luna)
A desktop X theme (now heres where it gets interesting!) I did 5 variations of the bliss wallpaper 1 at night 1 when its cloudy 1 during a lightning storm 1 partly cloudy est. I took a regular old weather object and edited the script so instead of having 47 states it has 6. I then replaced the six states on the actual weather icon object with a 1024 by 728 that would be the backround. That 1024 by 728 object contained the 6 bliss renders I made so when it rains outside it rains on your desktop!
I dont think anyone has done this kind of weather object before and I cant wait to see what the public thinks
(the black windows blinds is to match a wallaper I made)

Well I gues that coveres like fifty "still lurking" posts

I did 5 variations of the bliss wallpaper

The use of the Bliss wallpaper is a copyright issue. Im almost sure, but maybe an admin can shed some insight on that.

I think the bliss wall falls under "common knowledge"

I have seen plenty of renders of the bliss wall in the wallpaper section
If I cant upload this one either it will be the second time I have had a copyright issue with this theme grrrrrr
How many times have you had someone who says they cant grant permission because they dont want publicity
well thats what hapened the last time I tried to do this
I just keep on changing the base picture but I am keeping the skies

Also
Why would they have an OS section if there is a copyright issue

most corporations like MS dont really hunt "fan art" skinners unless it is defaceing or insulting to them....but theres many OS images that were made from scratch by skinners, which i believe fall under the authors personal copywrite protections.. not the os makers ....


an image based on a os is not fair game ...

So what should I do?
The bliss picture is all over the internet and they aren't hunting them down

i always ask the original author .. if i cant get his or her permission it stays on my desktop....id rather miss a thousand uploads than accidentally or intentionally infringe on an authors works ...but thats just my opinion ..

No no I mean who should I e-mail
Microsoft is so dam secretive
They don't even HAVE an e-mail address
I was trying to report somebody who sends the Mydoom virus a month ago and I spent hours looking through their site and all their contact section has is phone numbers and I could never call them because they'd know I am just a kid and probably wouldn't do a license agreement with a 12-year old
So what should I do?
I have already uploaded it and it is waiting approval
Personally I am more worried about it not getting in then I am about Microsoft hunting promotional fan stuff

True, but he also said "[Message Edited]."

12 is what I have heard Latin say.

Unless, of course, it's horrible...
