This is the response I got when I emailed the author. It does betray a certain ignorance.

My Visual Style is not a RIP.
This pictures are maked by myself.
You can Unzip the Visual Style and compare his with mine.

Treetog.. and info on when the new pixos stuff will be added, and will it be something we will have to pay for.. I for one think you should put some new parts up with more icons and some other things and then charge 2.50 to 3.50 for it. I wouldn't mind paying that for more items that add onto this great theme.. just wondering..
Thanks
Tony

Still chasing the PixOS ripper.....the story so far....
Greg....
PixOS by Alexandrie has been ripped by luyi13. You can see the original here: http://www.themexp.org/view_info.php?id=16257
That is the info from the Forum post.... http://www.themexp.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=4943
That's the info as I have it....
Yes, the Internet IS a big place, and we are hard-pressed to keep any sort of control of it....and I see you have about 50,000 members....[I just signed....couldn't remember my old account....now 'Jafo[Paul Martin]'...I know there is an outspoken anti-Stardock 'Jafo' floating around who knows exactly SFA about skinning...he grabbed that nick at Deviantart.com as well].
Wincustomize is over 600,000 members and counting....it gets hard to keep up, but there are some Skinners who are both good at their craft, well known, and often ripped, namely treetog/Alexandrie/Pixtudio.com.
Since they are a VERY common target it pays to keep up with their work so any rips are quickly spotted.
Paid-for skins and themes are BOUND to be a popular target as well....particularly from the kiddies who think everything must be free because their mums buy anything for them that isn't....
Anyway, if you can forward the ripper's details I'll follow it up.
Cheers,
Paul.

If you can inform me of the author's username (I do not have it since the work was removed), I can give you all the information I have on him or her (email address, and full name that was provided) but I'm not sure if you'll have any luck. We do try to ascertain as much as possible stolen artworks, however the internet is a vast place and no one can be expected to know all the works out there. The next best thing is a prompt removal, which we try to provide as quickly as possible. Sorry for this problem and, as mentioned above, if you can provide the username, I will gladly provide all details I have on the author.

and also one of an Orange that has dropped and smashed an apple to sauce and there are other apples behind it in its shadow cowering in fear, shivering
If you want to ake a look and you like either or both they are yours no strings attached, I still have to color them though, just an offer...
