SKIN RIP ??

Published on February 17, 2004 By Michael Brandt In 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 ???

i dunno, maybe you are right, looks like he at least designed it to look like the m3 bluegrass one.

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.

You got some talent there michael and this other skin? Well, if it is a rip that it comes 2nd in my list of 'WORST RIPS EVER'.

(For those who wonders witch came first; dont know the url anymore but there was a site quite a long time ago that was hosting pixtudio's design, however they had colored into some weird greenish tint...

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.
