Game skins? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

question - there have been a few messages lately about copyright and the such, and i was wondering, ive got a skin i have done, using fgx from some console games collected from various websites, assuming that these images are copyrighted to the companies that created the games, would i legally be able to submit the skin for distribution, or is it best left for my own use only? - I need to know so I can submit it here or not.

thanks guys, as you can see, im not much of a designer, i havent the experience or the skill, but i do like skins to be simple, i dont like having to look for buttons or anything like that.

i mean why done microsoft <- see with an S, create some alternate shells so we can choose from a range when we first instal windows. like with most distributions of linux.

daft question... in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I dont know how Micro$oft feels about rival shells running on top of windows instead of explorer, but why dont MS have a range of shells, so the user can choose how they want windows to look, instead of being stuck with that damn startbar? if anything it might just make windows users a little happier.

Reply to "Expert" computer user in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

in the past , I have came to notice that such terms as Expert, are completely relative, mostly to the person asking the question, eg if say the average guy in the street, says to me 'Are you a computer expert' I would have to say 'depends what you mean by that', but compered that guy, probebly yes, but say Mr Gates, asks me the same question, I would be forced to say no. So my answer to the question am I an expert, I will have to say - umm I dunno (doing best Homer Simpson impression).

I dont get it, as far as i can tell, ecks-bocks is just a pc looking like a console, dont at least 50% of pc users only play games in the first place? sinse its a micro$oft product, ita has to be (at lease indirectly) compatible with windows, so an emulator cant be far away, so why buy a second pc just to play games?

Reply to The Skin Patch Debate in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

oh, and why not have the patches all seperate, catagorised by some sort of grouping, taskbars, startmenu's etc, but instead of having the specifically for a certain skin, just have a comment, saying that it is recomende for use with a skin, no specifics involved, then permissions would be less of a problem.

Reply to The Skin Patch Debate in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I think the idea of patching skins is a fine one, its an idea that has been batted around messageboards for a while now, first of all, who can claim they have never updated a skin for their own use, eg added a start bar/menu, changed the colours etc. so why not make these updates available for everyone? as for defaults, I personally think, that by default a skin should be patchable, cos I would love people to patch skins I create, I cant think why anyone would mind. It should be left up to those

the shareware lets you add other themes till your 30days are up, then will only let you use the plain (mac and windows) skins that come with it after your 30days, not forgetting you need to click the register later button everytime it starts.
