Hi...I have downloaded your blinds and find your work to be extremely well done. Been using your blinds since you put them up at Theme XP. I am a big fan of your work. But unfortunately I am a window blind user and had to port down for myself for personal use. but I believe your blinds would make an excellent addition to our community at Stardock-Wincustomize as well as your logons. I also am using them and find them to be very well done. Therefore, my question to you is...would you give me authorization to port your library to Wincustoms? Of course all credit would go to you, with a direct link going to your library and your website. Below I will put a link to Wincustomize and my library to WinCustomize. I would appreciate if you would let me know your decision regardless of what it will be. I thank you in advance for your consideration.

You can port anything you have permission to...as you DO have with these...however please try to at least respect their efforts by providing decent previews that are NOT JUST THE WALL image.
A logon is a series of images, not ONLY a wall image insertion...it is a SKIN and various components thereof need to be displayed in the preview to actually show the Logon as a LOGON.
This is not 'unfair practice' the same applies to anyone who uploads an incorrect preview.

butch123 ...again...please do NOT upload private email addresses to a public forum.
Donald Ellis will likely thank you not to.

Fine.
I lost track of the names/addresses I was deleting.
Just make representational preview images that do the authors justice.
And stop this political grandstanding accusing all and sundry of "something to hide"

Developer butch123 ... no, I'd rather you took heed of people's concerns over the 'simplicity' of your porting methods...and took time to learn more of the mechanics.
Like how to generate a representational and accurate Preview image. It seems your Previews of ported MSstyles don't even show the actual windowblind itself....just the start panel etc.
Skinning is not about numbers of uploads....nor 'should' it be about numbers of downloads. It SHOULD be about quality and pride in one's endeavours.
Porting should be seen as a generous gift on the part of the original artist to GIVE YOU the right and RESPONSIBILITY to do the best you possibly can to 'enhance' his craft.
A "Wham, bam, thankyou, ma'am" approach to an artist's work on the part of the porter does BOTH people a disservice.
I dunno....maybe it's because I have been porting within LiteSTEP for over 7 years it's as plain as day to me what 'should' happen.....and we tend to forget there are new 'kids on the block' who need to be nudged in the right direction.
One way or another, though, things NEED to improve...

Developer butch123 ...perhaps a quick trip to the 'Any port in a storm' thread and to read Adam's comment about porting to WB....[taking into account he wrote the converter] would be in order.
As for Logons, on most occasions IF they are only a wall and no other image modification they generally are rejected.
If the preview shows no indication of anything other than the wall being altered...they will be rejected.
It matters not whether the skin author is happy with them or not, final decision is that of the Moderators.
