[Winamp & XMMS] Newcurve

[Plarkster]

I've updated the Bluecurve skin that comes with Fedora to match the newer version of Bluecurve and also Schmooves excellent Visual Style (which you can download here). I've only updated the main window and playlist so far - I don't use the others, but if enough people are interested I'll mod them too.

I'll have to get permissions to release, but please let me know what you think!

Edit: I've now released the skin. You can download it here. Preview pic also updated.

I love the bluecurve 4 msstyle, better than wba

Whew - Skin finished! I didn't realise how much work was involved - I've never skinned anything before. Anyway, checkout the first post for a new screenshot. As soon as I get permission from the original author I'll release it.

Hope you all like the finished article!

Hmm... no reply from the original author, Garrett LeSage, as of yet. I've never skinned anything before - what actually are the rules with obtaining permission? Is my skin different enough to be able to release it? Would it be ok if I released it and mentioned that Garrett is the original author in the readme?

I'd hate my work to go to waste - it took me ages!

I believe that if the original skin included with fedora is under gpl license(not sure if it is or not) that you can redistribute it as long as you include a copy of the gpl license with it. But it would be only right to mention the original author with credit and try to get permission(which you did).

Release ;)

I'm pretty sure so long as u've attempted to contact the author, and include credits saying that it is not your own work (well it is, but you know what I mean), that it would be ok to use. If the author doesnt reply to any emails, then its going to be pretty impossible to release isnt it...

[wickedlester]

Well he can't release it if it is not opensource unless he obtains permission. If the author does not reply and it has a copyright then he has to assume that there is no permission.

[Plarkster]

Well it's been a week and still no reply so I've decided to post it. I think the real issue with gaining permission is taking credit for someone else's work - and all along I've said that this is a mod and I've given Garret credit for his work in the readme so it should be ok. I've also got the go ahead from Vidar who ported the original skin to Winamp.

Anyway, you can download it here.
