how to port ?
Sunday, December 21, 2003 by HG_Eliminator | Discussion: Skinning
ok ive done some work on the thredz desktop X theme by pjpowell (made it compatable with the new version of desktopx ). and made a weather meter and calendar useing his graphics and SS gokus scripts. how do i go about getting permission.i know he ported it from the litestep theme. do i need the litestep themes creators permission as well as pjpowell's ? any help would be appreciated. this my first attempt at upload a skin here and would like to make sure i have everything covered ... oh and would i post all as a theme or upload the weather and calendar components as seperate objects ? heres a screen ...

(SS gokus scripts.)
Actually the Calendar script is by MARTIN and the Weather script is by BRYAN COOKE
But of course Koasati is right , You need permission from all parties . Back to your problem . When i make a new theme i simply right click on the icon in the taskbar and click save theme.
Then i just go to my docs and right click and make a new compressed folder then go to my DesktopX folder /Themes/copy the theme to the folder in my docs ....
I don't even mess around with WinZip in this situation .Hopefully this will help you out if not you can e-mail me to discuss it more

You have for sure look for permission by Thredz also (who is the original creator of the graphics). But PJ is at updating the DX theme also, so Your work might eventually be obsolete. 
Anyways, a good thing would have been e-mailing pjpowell first of all before making it public.

i had already e mailed pj b 4 i posted this. but i havent gotten a response yet ...if pj is doing a update,thatd be great. i was mainly wondering abt the weather and calendar objects. thx for the info tho abt makin it public, as id said this my first attempt at uploadin a skin here and wasent sure of the proper way to do it ..il eventually get the skinning edicate.
fivesballs thx il try that .. the desktop x has a way to just clik and save your theme but it dont allow for adding a read me file .. or not that ive found . i was trying to get ready to add a permission file if i can ever get all the permissions.

You can rename the file with a zip extension and then add the readme, then change the exntension back to the DX format one.
