MikeB314's VOX cursor ripped !!

Tuesday, April 1, 2003 by Styl-X Design | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

As the today's articel told me something about a linux site, I desided to take a look there. It had some cursor themes, and I was looking trough them, (Had a strange feeling about it )
I'm verry sure about this:
Original: https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.asp?searchtext=vox&sort=updatedate&order=Descending&library=25
Ripped: http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=5078

Thanks for the report, Styl skinner. I gave someone permission to port them to linux, but I can't find the email and I don't remember their name.

I'm going to give this guy the benefit of the doubt and assume it was him I gave permission to.

I was about to say something on their board. Lucky that my computer crashed so I had to reboot and didn't get to it yet.

, God was covering my ass/donkey on that one

you´re pretty fast with rip reports and accusations, aren´t you. there is nothing that indicates those could be rips (credits are given). it would be smarter to email the authors of the originals and ask them, before posting public accusations. also emailing makes it easier for the authors, as not everybody is reading this message board.

Moshi...check BoXXi's thread on rips.....a number of sites...ALL with 'credits', and all ripped...

sure, but don´t you think asking the authors per email first is the better way?

BoXXi´s thread is completely different. BoXXi should know to whom he gave permissions, while Style skinner has no clue wether MikeB314 has authorized these ports or not.

moshi....speaking from experience [just a little], most times it's a case of NO permissions were forthcoming.
The ONLY thing Styl skinner was guilty of was the omission of the word 'possible' or 'probable' in the thread title.
Even MikeB is unsure if it was authorized or not...

Sorry if I shaked some people awake out there.
Tomorrow morning when I wake up I will go send out some mails to the orriginal authors and the POSSIBLE ripper.
(Somebody please advice what to do when I don't get response from him....)

Jafo: if you want to hunt down a rip tonight i got one for you:
https://www.wincustomize.com/window.asp?Cmd=COMMENTS&Lib=2&SkinID=622 here at Wincustomize.

is ripped from the "Another Sugar Plate III" set by Yoshihiro Kondo: http://homepage.mac.com/chilly/htmls2/icons.html

if you like i can give a "daily rip" here at Wincustomize. there are still plenty around

moshi...I, as you well know, am a LiteSTEP user and have been for many, many years. I rarely get to see 'icons' at all, so am not up to speed with who is doing what with them [as if anyone is].
Assuming these are not the same person, and the ripper/rippee is in the right order then it will be 'sorted'....

doubt they are the same. else that would be a weird split personality. Sarah Barret (probaly caucasian) female and Yoshihiro Kondo (Japanese) male.
and Yoshihiro made the originals. i know my icons.

another one (just uploaded): https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.asp?library=29&SkinID=627

slapping an icon by Everaldo Coelho http://www.everaldo.com/ on the default system preferences icon copyrighted by Apple.
even a double rip ... i thought Apple rips are no longer allowed ...

and another pretty new one: https://www.wincustomize.com/window.asp?Cmd=COMMENTS&Lib=29&SkinID=620

three icons ripped from Everaldo. the messager icons and the desktop icons are from here: http://www.everaldo.com/

i could keep you busy with rips at Wincustomize for days, you know. but i becomes boring after a while. more rips tomorrow.

who cares about the icon section btw.?

Sigh....#14 sorted...

for #15 maybe better check Honz12´s site. John has permission by Everaldo and has converted the icons to Windows format. that will make verification easier: http://www.honz12.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/crystal/crystal.html
