Using Icons as background.
Monday, September 5, 2011 by Ryvermist | Discussion: Skinning
Hello again, all. Newbish question, if I may? I'm making a wallpaper, and using some icons downloaded from here as stock (background). What's the protocol for using them? I know I can post a screenshot showcasing my docks/tabs/ etc with icons, I guess with a link, but using them as a stationary piece of scenery is confusing my poor old brain, lol. I've sent a pm to the creators on here, but no response. Anyway, I tend to run off at the keyboard (I confuse myself sometimes, lol) the question is is it ok if I provide link to it? I mean just uploading it here and DA, no commercial use. Sorry if this is confusing, lol, and my thanks for any/all help. in advance~

Philly would be correct.
Might I ask, why would you want to use icons as a background? Just wondering.....

I'm making a wallpaper thats a room, it's a perspective piece, and the icons (ones My Stuff by treetog, and the other is a desklamp, by Tiggz) Fit in, as part of the backdrop. Couch icon is centerpiece with a table (with said lamp on it) and other side has a backpack (my stuff icon) leaning against it.

Ah, I see. Well, good luck getting hold of either of those artists. They aren't real active lately.

I believe that using the graphics of any skin to make another skin (Icon to wallpaper or wallpaper to Logon) requires you to get the permission from the originator of the graphics if your intent is for other than personal use. Uploading the wall to WinCustomize or DA would be considered for other than personal use.
