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

    • Apple finally brings the slider for Liquid Glass and many other changes

      It's the only reason I finally have an iPhone (for work) and enjoy using it so much that I'm tempted to move from android next time I need to replace my own device
    • WhatsApp slams Isreali firm, NSO Group, for trying to spy on its users

      So is Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, just to mention a few. What's your point? Everyone is a threat from their enemies' perspective. I'd say that Israel is only a threat to their immediate enemies like Hamas, Hezbollah and the Iranian regime, not to anyone else.
    • Signal accuses UK government of using child safety as cover for mass surveillance

      By astropheed · Posted

      The government is not the good guy either. You propose 99% of people require that the government overreach and govern their freedom of information and privacy, while ignoring the government is made up 100% of people, of which 99% are (as you described) brain dead. You can't have both. The reality is Signal is absolutely right and the government is doing what it has always done. Ignoring that we are their boss and grabbing all the power they possibly can to make sure we aren't. Your (societies) ###### parenting is not reason enough as to why I can't have a safe platform for my data/information. Thinking the government is helping is precisely what they are targeting psychologically to take suckers like you for a ride. "Think of the children" was, has, is, and will always be a mechanism of control. In the rare occasion it's actually essential the mass consensus has always been there and it doesn't become a debate.
