Reply to Question about permissions in Permissions WinCustomize Forums

Night Train, I know why my theme was pulled and it was pulled for good reason, please do not imply that I am stupid. I would have thought that it was clear from previous posts where I have stated why it was pulled several times. My theme WAS NOT pulled over anything having to do with ADAM SOLEY. That reason being that I didn't have the permission for Alpha-Omega. However, the site didn't do anything about that until you and another person st

Reply to Question about permissions in Permissions WinCustomize Forums

It's ALL about appropriate Authority to request action Did Alpha-Omega request that you remove my release from your site, since after all... he would have been the appropriate authority in that case? And I still haven't seen the site admit to the data showing Adam Soley used images that he

Changed my mind Then it is this as you stated: Sometimes, however, a Trademark Owner WILL exert their property/trade dress rights to an image or images If nobody complains... anything can be used. Somebody complained about mine... it was pulled. I am complaining a

Oh and BTW... his theme wasn't truely original... there were others before his... his may have had different stuff but it was still LCARS and there were others before his. Oh... and no credits were given by him for that either.

I have no problems with that... and you supported my position now that it appears to be understood that I am not nor will I be trying to find a loophole for anything. I am just trying to bring to light a double standard that is being enforced. Here is the difference. Adam's work was original. Sor

You publicly accused Adam Solley of being a ripper before investigating the facts. Isn't that what you and that other person did to me? How did you know at the time whether or not I had permission and saying so wasn't required? Don't say because I said I didn't because that was after the fl

Reply to Question about permissions in Permissions WinCustomize Forums

Thank you for the compliment Night train but you still miss the point. The lack of permissions from Alpha-Omega being the reason the theme was pulled was completely understood and I have yet to complain nor try to find a loophole to circumvent that. Once again... my question pertained to ADAM SOLEY and no other. Heck... I am not even trying to release the theme here... it was specifically stated that I could not from the original

Reply to Question about permissions in Permissions WinCustomize Forums

You see... Night Train makes beautiful themes... but he makes his graphics custom right then for them and they look like no other thing nor any images you can find on the web. That makes it unique in appearance but not under the skin... they probably are using code that others have used over and over again. Does that make it his theme? I am guessing that the code is never in question but if you wanted to get snippy... someone couls concieva

What you say is totally correct... that is what he said However It doesn't even come close to addressing the question that I posed, it mearly keyed in on a couple sentences of the whole which were not the question at all, but simply a statement within the question. For anyone who cares... the question pertained to having to give permissions to ADAM SOLEY, not to Alpha Omega. The text required giving Adam Sole

Also Night train, Your reply had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with my question. If that is to be the extent of your posts, may I suggest that you concentrate less on typing meaningless drivell in order to increase your post count and more on the fine work you do in your releases.

Night Train... as usual your ripping wit astounds me. Admin Jafo... thank you... fair enough answer whether I agree with it or not.

Question about permissions in Permissions WinCustomize Forums

Riddle me this... I recently submitted a modification (LCARS New Evolution) of someone elses work (LCARS Evolved by Alpha-Omega)... which was promptly rejected for the reason stated that I needed to get Adam Soleys' permission because some of my graphics looked like his But no mention of permissions from Alpha-Omega from the site administrators. Fine... I obtained the proper wording giving Adam Soley credit (even though I used no graphics fr

Okay, Well I was able to get the pink problem solved (even though it didn't allow clean curves) but still having a terrible time with the moreprograms area allowing a 2 or 3 pixel drop causing the images to not line up as in image 2 of the first post. I have played with the margins till I was blue in the face and none seem to make any changes. confused.

Reply to Graphics Creation Help in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

Yea... I have played around with the margins a bit to aparently no effect but I will try some more if that is what it will take. As for the transparency... that is how I have it. A check mark in the trasparency box and no check in the translucency box cuz that just makes the top and bottom dissapear. A bit a wits end on the pink stuff. Thank you for the suggestions scorpio-logic

I saved all images as uncompressed bitmaps .bmp In this shot you can see that the corners are still showing some of the shocking pink that is supposed to be interpreted as transparent. See the circled areas> In this image you can see where the more programs background slips down 2 pixels causing the programs and places images to no

Hello all, I have been working on an lcars skin for windowblinds to go with the lcars evolved desktop x theme I modified and added to. The problem I am having is in the graphics area. I use ulead photoimpact xl and I use corel draw 12. The bad part is that I cannot get a clean rounded corner to save my life. I created me start menu panel several times with photoimpact and the image looks geed before I impliment it and then the sho

Admin Jafo, Thank you for your further response (and the spelling, I always get a rise out of someone spelling that word that way) It was always determined that bumping a thread like that was frowned upon but good to know in the future. Being lost in the list was not the concern, rather the needless replies like the one from scorpio-logic... nothing more.<b

Admin Jafo, Thank you for your informing response. However, I was not merely refering to this single thread. I asked these questions in my own dedicated thread and only got one response. Even though that response was helpful... no further additions to that thread were given any attention whatsoever which is frustrating. I am fully aware that nobody is obligated to respond to my seemingly dumb questions having built and run a very large forum

Not upset or trying to be rund or insulting... just get a bit frustrated at times.

Thank you very much That was what I was looking for and it worked perfectly excluding the control.exe from the links. There are several .cpl that do nothing when you link to them and there is only one thing I was not able to find a link to (it could be one that does nothing) and that is the internet properties Anyone know how to link to the internet properties?

I will try this again. I waited two days after posting this question and the post never got in the database or something. I am adding to the LCARS Evolved desktop theme. I am adding additional terminal screens and the like but one in particular is a control panel replacement terminal with mouse over visual effects and the like but I do not know how to link to control panel items since I am very new at this.

I would also like to read the article since that particular desktop theme isn't even available for download on this site. I had to get it from customize dot org. The reason I bring it up is because I love that one so much that I am working on additional screens and since I am such a newbie I need some help with little details I cannot find answers to. It would help if this forum software had a SEARCH FEATURE! It would cut down on
