SKIN RIP ??
Tuesday, February 17, 2004 by Michael Brandt | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Where goes the fine line for a skin to be a rip??
The WB Skin "Pearlblue" is basically a recolored version of my own "M3 Blueglass" skin. 9 out of 10 elements i have made. And I am mentioned nowhere.
What do u think ???

aside from the start button, the systray and the coloring. the task bar is exactly the same the lil dots next to the tasks, the tasks buttons them selves and the smaller bar on the top the top are visually the same. without downloading them and actually digging in to them, id say theres a few parts that look borrowed....

Yes, the titlebar is different, but the scrollarrows, scrollbars, menuitems, menubackground, taskbarbuttons, toolbarbuttons, systembuttons, log off buttons etc etc are mine ! He's just recolored those.

BluePearl is such a bad skin - I would disasociate myself quickly

its a rip..... i just took windowframetooltop.bmp and expanded them they are exactly the same, the pearlblue shows reminants of the dots being erased...in the left section (the one seen in the screen shot). but the right or secondary top is the exact same just a different color..

...drum roll ends
MadPyro moves aside as the skin is blown in to cyber space by jafo and his team of lean, mean, dis-moderating machines.

for those who rip a warning, skins have little thumb prints . and its not that hard to find out if you borrowed them ...all skins have little flaws that like a fine gem, make each unique.

no its true.. i have been disecting and modding skins for years (for my own use) and i have seen the various flaws that "to the naked eye" cant be seen .. but magnify them abt 950 times and there ya go.......
