Where’s that apple skin?
Thursday, February 27, 2003 by johnct | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Where’s that apple skin for desktop x, not sure who the author was, it was in the top downloads. I went to download it today and it gone. I hate it when artist remove their work, epically when it’s really good.

I did notice that the skins in the search didn't resemble Mac exctly, and actually did not work like Mac OS x. I do remember when this debate happened before the problem actually wasn't the logos so much... Macintosh believed that the way the Gui worked and such was meant only for macintosh users, and to be able to use it without a macintosh was taking their money... as for those bits and peices, and themes in the search.. they were wonderfull themes... but fell short of completely moching the macintosh expierence... possibly.. just my opinion...

and as for me... I would rather have my own custom look than mimic someone else... I didn't get desktop x, and window blinds to have a copy of something I don't have... I bought these programs so I have something totally different... 
and pix os was all custom... no original graphics were used... from any os... the scroll bars, while slightly similair to those in Mac os... are in many ways different...

I've just contacted Food Lion, Win dixie, Publix and Andersons...They have agreed to rtename apples to 'large friggin grapes'....this should at least keep them out of lawsuits for a while.... 
They did not, however, agree to renaming MACadamia nuts to 'Those weird nuts from Hawaii'. They thought people might confuse them with goodmorphing.....go figure...
Goodmorphing.....sorry....You are loved!!!

'Aquamarine' is now known as 'that weird green colour trying to be blue'...

Why aren't Apple taking legal action against greengrocers for using the word apple for a certain fruit of that name?

Sorry Adam just asking, I do appreciate the hard work you put in, and think the LCARS you made is the best ever.

Apple as a Proper noun [Name] is copyrighted.
You can still call the fruit an 'apple' though, just not anything that begs association with the Apple trade name...and computer program skins called 'apple' have exactly nothing to do with a fruit but everything to do with a copyrighted Name.
No-one will believe you with an argument that you love the fruit, therefore you named a skin such.
Likewise with 'Aqua', as against 'aquamarine'.
One is OK, the other is not.
Call your skins 'That other OS/computer company' instead of 'Apple' and you should be fine , as you can argue you were referring to Amiga or something...

Yeah, someone should do an Olive OS skin. Green cocktail olive stuffed with pimento for the logo instead of the friggin apple with a bite out of it. Or a martini glass with a green olive on a toothpick. And for the busy cursor, perhaps a cocktail shaker in action.
OK, it's a Friday at the end of a looong week. Though, if I could create skins, I'd probably do something like that just for the heck of it.
Then I could move up to the Pizza OS... with visions of pepperoni's dancing in my head.
OK, got to go home and get some dinner.

hmm IIRC 3 luna skins have been ported to Apple GUI 
as Jafo said "I bet even Bill himself gets a chuckle seeing Apple graphics ported to his Windows OS."
Now vice versa, looks awfull mind you but Apple GUI's are nice, as thats probably big attraction, even being used on Windows is still rather nice.

they can't copyright the word apple... microsoft lost a lawsuit to Lindows for the use of the word Windows... the courts said that windows was a common word... and microsoft couldn't copyright it... sadly enough.. i am on microsoft's side on this one.. they should have won that case... if I called my OS Jac OS X, Apple would win... hmmm...
kthxbye

"Green cocktail olive stuffed with pimento "
Scary thing is, sig101 - I like that idea...
