Thanks for the tips. Some look great. The link however was not about add ons but about the things expected in the new 3.1 version when released as far as speed improvements are concerned. Thanks again for the add-ons!

[quote]It has always been accepted practise to allow such OS copying/porting and, as far as I can recall there has only been two formal objections from the IP owners - both adhered-to.[/quote] If porting in this manner, cloning, or whatever we are calling it, is not improper use of others images why were the request for removal adhered to?

[quote]Difference is partly, one is a private entity and the other is corporate.[/quote] I do not sell skins but if I did, I would certainly take in the revenue via an LLC at the least for a whole variety of reasons. Unless, by corporate you mean publicly traded and I see no difference there. A company might decide that the stopping of a skin causes more bad PR than it is worth, but that is another matter entirely as it is merely a temporary decision until they decide otherwise. They

[quote]Since Day One in skinning it has always been acceptable practise to port an OS graphics to another program. The earliest I can remember was Amiga to Litestep....that was around '97 or '98.

[quote]One of the "causes" is that people are resetting the skin dates for minor updates, that has been addressed with the moderators. Much of this stuff is not for public consumption because it leads to flames and other issues that are not related with the problem at hand.[/quote] Fair enough!

[quote]You were quick to jump on the misbehavior but seemingly ignored the causes.All I got was "we see all,we know all".pffft[/quote] It is my view that the causes were never fully addressed in a definitive manner and that led to the frustration and "misbehavior". Even now, the conversation remains about forum etiquette rather than addressing the questions raised by IR, vstyler and others. If a group of masters feel that something is amiss and needs correction, I view that as

Reply to No, There is Nothing Wrong With Selling Skins! in OS Customization WinCustomize Forums

In relation to the work involved Master skins are incredibly inexpensive. This concept of "free" is always amusing to me as if anything worth having was ever truly free. Somebody is paying somewhere for everything. The exchange of dollars for services/goods is a blessed event.
