paxx: this is what I said, for personal use. For me to ask an Author like Treetog for permission in my early stages of design and production, well I don't think I am even ready for that. So here I am, satisfying my personal use as a user. But am I correct in saying what we are looking to do here is produce unmatched styles and graphics to add to an already created skin in order to avoid permissive rights from an author, or create a hodgepodge of addons to go with the original

Here's an analogy. "The whole thing is like walking through a thorny thicket with a fully opened can of worms." However, the "idea" has merit as it could lead to a fresher if not newer way of skin production provided all the artists would act in a community spirit with the newcomers. If not, then we will have an application soley for personal use, which then would take away from SkinStudio as a means to create and also renew skins as a learning experiance which is what I do.<br

I speak from the view that as art, it cannot be changed by someone else no matter how well done. An artist work can only be changed by the artist themselves, otherwise if done by someone else no matter how good, the art has lost it's "value" as such. I know of no artist that would accept this. I looked at all the Builderblinds we have here at WC and I marvel at the ideas they represent. Sure, they look silly now, but they record a certain posterity that should never be changed.

As a user, I would rather the artists I respect create the update, or not. To have someone else presume to know what the original artist had in mind would be a form of forgery, and I know I would feel somewhat cheated even if the patch were perfect.

I think the flood of patches would be enormous and to much to choose from in the end. Innovation comes from pushing the envelope, not so much recreating the wheel, since it is already round. I believe the original artist should decide whether to update or let it die, after all, it is his creation.
