Wow. :blink: Than I wonder how some other themes based off of other stuff around here succeeded when I know permissions weren't always asked. They were just done and no one complained. :wacko:

If you are refering to linux and longhorn stuff that's all open source anyone can create it. If you mean there are themes that people moded against others wishes that should be reported as it's against board rules.

This is hilarious, there's about 15 pages with a bunch of guys ogling at a freakin VISUAL STYLE like they should be ogling at a GIRL, and as soon as someone says something that MAY just cross the authors just a TEENY bit, they try and kiss their feet. Sit back in your chair, realize you're spending more time posting on the forums than you are with your loved ones, and then realize that you can wait for a freakin visual style.

Over and out.

Okay first of all I'm not "oogling" or "kissing anyone's feet". And I sure as hell spend plenty of time with loved ones. Smart assed lahrd of a neopwi.

At first I didn't understand why the continuing wait on the theme with it being finished. I wasn't saying I see themes modded against author's wishes. I meant that I didn't expect them to ask for permissions on original works if it's based off of operating systems or whatever else. So I didn't see a point with Winamp.

So now you people can back off cuz I'm over it now. God damn.

Well said. I didn't post before because I feared that I would get banned for what I was going to tell these guys to do. You guys don't care we know but quite frankly we don't care what you think.

As to you Trunten I think that this classifies as any other style would. Someone created a style for Winamp and to elaborate on it you must have permission. It's a common curtiousy amongst themers.

Perhaps maybe this is just me, but while the style is good, I'd prefer one that matches the WA5 skin exactly. This means, centered titles in the title bars and the line that goes across the middle of the titlebar.

This Winamp Style seems to add some of the artist's own flair into it, and if you're making a visual style that imitates another skin, interface, or OS, creativity should not be the name of the game. The skin should be the best attempt to match the appearance of whatever you're trying to imitate.

The skin itself is nice, and does look a lot like Winamp 5. However, it does not look exactly like Winamp 5, which is what I would expect from this kind of visual style. I would go on, with other things I feel are at fault, but I doubt it would be appreciated or taken into consideration. My two cents. .

how about u try making a skin its not as easy as you think. im pritty sure you cant make the line exactly like winmps because if the title is bigger than "winamp" it will overlapp the lines and look ugly

    • Microsoft wants to end printer driver headaches with Windows Ready Print

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      I understand Microsoft's intention here, at least I think I do. There have been so many printer driver related problems over the years due to OEM printer drivers not be compatible with the latest Windows update, that Microsoft wants to eliminate those by controlling the printer driver updates and keeping them compatible with the latest Windows update. That is okay as far it goes, but what it can do is put limitations on printers that wouldn't be there with OEM drivers since the OEM printer drivers are not universal drivers. It's a tradeoff and one can only hope it doesn't turn all Windows printers into $69 Brother printers.
    • Google Chrome is killing all uBlock Origin bypasses, Microsoft Edge, Opera to follow

      By olympus1 · Posted

      Vivaldi is a very unique browser. It's the only chromium based browser that has its own powerful and fully customizable UI. It even supports CSS like firefox based browsers do. If someone wants a powerhouse chromium based browser, Vivaldi is actually his only option. All other chromium based browsers just tweak the vanilla chromium UI. It also comes from an ethical company that has proved its ethics all these years. Something very rare in the chromium world... (all other companies which develop chromium based browsers own an ad company, Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera etc).

      I really wish Zoom would have been the collaboration tool most organizations ended up with. Teams is garbage.

      While I agree that in some instances you should be wary of the government, shouldn't we also be wary of corporations that have the money, reach and power of many governments? Having good regulations is essential for population protection (from corps trying to make more money than the other guy). At least we can vote in and out governments, but these days your choice of consumer tech is now only a few very large players. And we also know "consumers" are idiots and need protecting, it's literally the government's job to deliver those services.
