Dazzla Veteran Posted January 20, 2002 Veteran Share Posted January 20, 2002 Unless you have permission, dont upload it. We've been through all this on another thread about ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hostile Posted January 20, 2002 Share Posted January 20, 2002 Yes, Dazzla is correct. I think too many cry baby deviants have made their way here, and that caused it. The often snobbish mac crowd doesn't like us XP people using their icons. I think it's high time the porting crap stops anyway, and we start making our own originals. We don't need their stinkin icons!:right: And before anyone asks, no I wouldn't mind if my originals were ported to Mac, as long as the person porting didn't claim they "created" them.

leqin Posted January 20, 2002 Share Posted January 20, 2002 First off - Sniper34123 those look like great conversions - looks like dazzla, foood and scorcho got competition:) Seeing as I contributed my little bit into the thread on MMIcons I suppose in a way that you could say I helped to stop Dazzla et al making their conversions readily available, but in no way out of malice and only to say what copyright law states. The last thing you could say about me is that I am a mac addict - dyed in the wool win32 addict more like. I find the attitude that some mac users take towards win32 users quite objectionable in the extreme. On the other hand I know many mac users who are quite layed back about the whole mac v win32 thing and couldn't care one little bit what I, or others, use because - well it is just a pc and a way to get things done isn't it and that is all that matters. Unfortunatly many mac users are very snobbish and refuse point blank to except seeing mac stuff ported over to the win32 pc platform. They are so extreme in this view that they either begin attacking the person who asks can I make the port, or they just never answer the email requesting to do so. Unfortunaly/Fortunatly they can do very little to stop a individual porting them his or herself and keeping them for personal use. It means anybody who wants them needs to do it themselves, but doing so is quite easy and you learn something in the process and the tools to do it are readily available. At the end of the day learning a skill is more important than being able to argue in a anal fashion about my pc platform being better than your pc platform - isn't is - you don't see many job adverts asking for the ability to spout drival - being able to do something other cannot makes anybody a good employee and hey being a manager a persons skills are what I look at when I interview them not how anal they are.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorcho Posted January 20, 2002 Share Posted January 20, 2002 i figure it like this. i'm only going to convert for my own personal use. if people feel like converting and uploading, then let them do it at their own hassle. i doubt that the boogie-men are going to go after them. the only group i've had trouble getting permission from (i've tried a couple) were the guys from Iconfactory. dazzla and myself make superior conversions to them simply because we don't neglect to put in the larger non-standard sizes and we can convert immediately. their icon plugin for photoshop on the Mac side even saves in Windows .ico format for christs sakes. don't hassle the guy if he wants to share the icons. let him make his own decision.

dior_addict Posted January 20, 2002 Author Share Posted January 20, 2002 heh, yeah, the mac ppl should feel superior that we want to use their iconz, but i just read the legal stuff............. and i ain't gonna upload it. =). i urge anyone who wants mac icons, to convert it them selves, its not hard, it just takes time.
