It's real easy. Here's how.
1.) Hack the MS shell dll.
2.) Sell it.
It's that easy.
First it was StylesXP. Now it's Starskin.http://www.lightstar1.com/starskin.htm
Good luck and hope it makes you tons of money.

Yes, that's all it is. Just another hack job.
It's just StylesXP with a logon loader and bootskin.
*For those who want to know*
I was browsing the TSS2000.NL website, because they have a good icon or two, every once in a while and I came across this on the front page.

Maybe this is why that other guys system in this messageboard was corrupted? 
Hack the system files and one will get instability.

The company appears to have legitimate permission to use his icons

They say so, yes. Funny thing is, they only seem to be able to change the standard desktop icons.

Lightstar's a skinner (msstyles). So it wouldn't be unlikely that he may have gotten permission from others to distribute their work with his skins. Evidently now he's associated with (or perhaps is behind, given the "star" theme of the various products) a new product of the StyleXP type. Hmnn....

That site does not work for me anymore. However look at this http://www.rocketdivision.com/skin.html . The package is not only sold by LightStar Technologies. It's sold by Rocket Division Software too. See http://www.rocketdivision.com/about.html .

Hey Z, you forgot a couple of steps...
3. Add the same features as your competition.
4. Decide theirs is better anyway, so add their content or the ability to steal it, as a feature to your hack.
5. Sue them for not letting you steal their content.
"mo money, mo money, mo money"

BTW: Thanks for this thread. It made me google up http://www.tss2000.nl/forum/viewtopic.php?t=826 while looking for information. I browsed through their site and I found out that I was ripped.
BTW: Not by lightstar, but by some other guy.

What's next? A lawsuit against Rocket Division Software by TGTSoft?

I have more respect for Rocket Division then TGTsoft. at least rocket vision has other programs that don't appear to be rips...although I have never heard of the company before.

No offence TtC, but is it better if someone (asks) to steal your car, than if they just took it.
It is a hack. I am wondering though, about thier other programs.
