Hypercrag...

Could you please refrain from using all caps in your post and thread....it's commonly referred to as 'yelling' and thus not appreciated.
As to the request to modify an artist's wall....that would need be the artist himself as its modification can be a copyright issue....

Thank you Sir Hus for ur fill in. Im not accustomed to writing in mesage boards and im really new to the whole personalizing ur windows xp and such world, so im sorry if I offended anyone. I was surely not yelling, i just often use caps when i type, please excuse my mistake. In addition I was really hoping to get a response by GL due to the fact that im not aware of any ways to modify the wallpaper design. I didnt see it as a whole process and assumed it wasnt such a big deal. Its not as if its a profitable thing so i figured, where money isnt involved, there most probably would be no copyright or anything. I also am not aware of how big the job is to turn the background itno a silvery glare rather than the golden, so I figured that a small job like this, of there was a kind person that would do it, id be in luck. Once again thanks for the info

HYPERCRAG...modifying another's images for personal use is not a problem, but technically modifying them for the use of a third party is a copyright issue as it is then a 'distribution' of the image, [whether for monetary reward or not makes no difference at all]...

Just some msgboard etiquette.
1) NO CAPS. CAPS IS TAKEN AS YELLING AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO YELL AT US TO BE HEARD.
2) Modifying someone else's work with intent to distribute it without permission is considered ripping. Therefore, someone cannot simply take that wall, add silvery stuff in it and send it to you without GLPort's permission.
3) Generally speaking, people will not go that extra mile for you. You can't expect them to either. Are you going to walk into a house and tell the home-owner you don't like his couch, go buy a new one for me. The real world doesn't work like that and neither does WinCustomize.
So, you have but 1 choice. Modify the wallpaper yourself which you are allowed to do, or live with it the way it is. I hope this helps you.
