Yes I do think that is over the top but that is just my opinion just like you have yours. So where do we draw the line then. If you look at my shot you will notice that I also used a start button that I downloaded from deviantart. If I had obscured the main image and not obscure the button should it also have not been permitted. It is after all the Harley Logo but no one had said anything about that. Maybe no one noticed. I am not arguing Copyright. I believe in it. What

LightStar I think what you have wrote is what I believe but for the sake of stirring the pot even further I just resigned myself to shut up. I know for a fact that some have used others work without obscuring the background and it has been allowed. I know because I was one of those persons. I had submitted several in the past and never obscured the image. I gave credit to those I could but some wallpapers I knew nothing about. I removed those shots because I wanted to clean up my su

OK thanks everyone. You done a fine job teaching me.

OK so if I was to use a wallpaper that I downloaded from the Harley Davidson Official site and gave the link to that wallpaper would I need to be obscured it in the shot?

@ HG_Eliminator . I really appreciate the offer and i will take you up on it if I need. Thanks

OK I am learning here. Thanks for your advice. I am still not sure why someone would modify a screen shot though when the actual image is easily obtainable.

OK guys I am only trying to figure this out and I understand everything you have said. But that still does not explain why some shots have been approved without a link to the original artist and some have not been allowed. I have posted many shots in the past using a wallpaper I had sitting in my pictures folder for a very long time. I had no link to give even with a search. Yet those have been approved. I guess what I am understanding from your comments is I either need to cover up the

Yes I have bee told that but I do not understand why I would need to obscure a screenshot which uses a wallpaper that is posted all over the Internet on many different sites. Does that mean I have to ask permission to use every wallpaper I find on the Internet? if so then why are some allowed and some not? If I find an image on the internet that is available to the public and does not have any contact info or information mentioning anything to to with copyright, how would

Does this pose a copyright problem. I am just trying to figure out what can be submitted and what cannot. I have had shots like this rejected because of copyright issues. This is an untouched wallpaper found all over the Internet and to my knowledge anyone can use it, especially for a screen shot.

Reply to Yet another sysmetrix question. in Tutorials WinCustomize Forums

Can someone tell me what I use for for the description and server settings if I use live mail? Don't want to start another thread because I am sure this has been answered. I just can't find the answer in the forums. I also use office outlook for an application but might go with live mail. Right now sysmetrix is not detecting my emails but probably because its not configured right. Thanks for your help.

The new update 3.44 took care of it. Finally!!! I love sysmetrix.

Reply to Yet another sysmetrix question. in Tutorials WinCustomize Forums

OK well that just sucks. To bad the recent 3.43 version I just downloaded had not addressed this problem. At least it took care of the weather issue. I guess I will just have to look at my favorite skin and imagine that it works, lol

Yet another sysmetrix question. in Tutorials WinCustomize Forums

OK I know this thing has been beat to death. I have another question regarding sysmetrix. I have been using this program for a while now and like it because of the skins I have that match various themes. For example I am using aMeter5 now because it goes with my current desktop plus I love the old looking meters. My question is (and sorry if this has been asked) has anyone figured out a way to get all the gauges working on windows 7 64bit? For example the cpu guage and

Thanks for reminding me HG. I forgot all about this being Christmas. It does not have the same meaning for me now that I have moved from North America to the other side of the world. There truly is no place like home. Well happy Holidays everyone.

Now that's what I am talking about Doc. Just out of curiosity how difficult and time consuming would this theme be to create? Where would I begin if I was interested in learning how to do something like this. I am just thinking if no one is willing to create this theme maybe I would try. I just do not think I am capable but i really want to see this theme made. So much so I would be willing to pay to have it done and I am not monetarily wealthy by any means.

There are some great ideas coming. Hope it continues and some industrious soul will take up the challenge. I think the first to do so will get some huge brownie points, not that anyone needs or wants them. I just think this could be a real winner if someone else will take a hold of my vision and make a skin that will be talked about for a very long time. Do not get me wrong. There are many great skins but there are none that fits the bill of what I proposed. At least I hav

DrJBHL thanks for the welcome and explanation. Once you explained it I knew what you were talking about. I was confusing mirror writing with something else. I guess that is what happens when getting long in the tooth, lol

PoSmedley thanks for the screenshots. What I am looking for though is a WB theme and not a taskbar and start menu that looks microsoft. I also have that media player skin but I prefer winamp.

k10w3 that is on the right track of what I am thinking. I wish I could see more to know for sure. I like the font but the color reminds me of the Vintage Tiffany theme.
