Longhorn "Glass"

[Night.Hawk]

I don't see a problem in taking the idea from him, as long as you give him credit.

I've been thinking about making the Longhorn Glass theme myself and giving him credit for the idea. I don't see what would be the problem with that, as long as you could take it off if he wanted it. Don't know though. I didn't see that thread.

no no no, u missed my point, lol. in that thread, he accused someone of taking his buttons from his unreleased theme in here. he had no proof and just started flaming the author of that theme. That author didnt use digitals theme at all cause it was photoshopped and faked. He based it off of longhorn (i acutally kinda helped in the development of the theme in a small way so i know for a fact he didnt take anytihng from this crap) anyhow my point was, did that mini flame war that digital started have anything to do with him not updating this at all like he said he would in the other thread (he claimed he wanted to prove that it was a real theme and im still not quite understanding that one, lol) or was it something else like that restricted thing.

[talk_shows_on_mute]

it be great if someone would finish this thing it looks great but i think it just aint true

[DigitalFreedom]

I know DigitalFreedom very well and he is a very busy guy. Lay off him, we are both working on AeroBrowser and other work related things. If he can't make the deadline then he can't. Just wait, when he can, he will release it. I know that he has done alot of work on it and on aerobrowser so give him a chance.

First off, I did not flame him, he flamed me, all that happened was that he was using a diffrent set of buttons, then as soon as i relased my ss, he stole the idea, either way, in the end we "kissed and made up" in a sence,anyways as to when this theme will be out, i guess one of the reasons i stoped working on it was becuase of the bitching, anyway, soon, and I mean soon, i will start working on this again, and it will resemble aerobrowser a bit in ways, anyways all i have to say is i'm gonna work on this again starting now, i say, not 100%, but about 1 month or 2 before I have a final, but i will post a beta as soon as their are some, as i have formanted my computer since, while i still have some of the png's, and psds, i no longer have the ms style resourecs, either way its gonna come back better than ever ;)

[DigitalFreedom]

any questions?

[Ran Sagy]

You're misreading our intentions, at least mine. I have no problem with you working on this every other 24th of the month or whatever (:p), as long as you dont come in every day and say "tommorow im releasing this !" .. When you're done, lets us know. No reason to "get people's hopes up" (keep in mind people this is just a theme :p) for nothing, right ?

I think you're doing awesome work, so /me just waits for an email reply to the thread ;p

If you wanna listen to a suggestion, i say that you post an 'alpha screenshot'. A REAL shot of whats done so far EVEN if its practicly nothing .. just to clear up things for those who dont like actully READING the thread :p

[DigitalFreedom]

will do when home

[russellc]

ok i read 3-4 pages of this stupid thread. ok well apparently, it's been a month and a week since this thread was started by DigitalFreedom, but in peoples' minds its been however many decades they think its been sitting at their computer staring at the thread and waiting for the damn subscription email to come and continue bitching some more. all i see is schaggo ****ing their pants every 5 minutes. why can't you people be patient? go outside and get some fresh air. geez. give the guy some quiet time to work. quit sitting in this thread waiting to keep bitching about nothing. its not going to help DigitalFreedom get anywhere at all.

EDIT: also, i read that people (cant remember who and too lazy to look) want the thread closed. the only reason it should be closed is because of you ****tards that keep posting pointless bitchy posts

[ecotrojan]

I thing everone should take a Chill Pill

:yes:

[Ran Sagy]

Nor do the counter-stop-bitching posts are helpful ;)

But like i said, lets wait for Digital to do his thing .. and then will be well with the world once more (read in sarcasm for god's sake :p) ^^

actually he had been working on it before u released your PHOTOSHOPPED screenshot. It was just goin on in another thread. And the buttons had been developed and screenshots were out May the 11th a day before you released your "screenshot" but anyhow, you did make up.

may answer

[MonkeyClaw Veteran]

answer what? He started this theme in another thread. that was the release thread, but it started in somethin like my longhorn desktop or somethin. He posted his picture of his theme and his buttons and wanted our opinion of which to use on may 11 a day before digital did this thread. https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=164565&st=60

thats a link to the thread where this all started (actually it started on a page rather than a thread) and u can see he started and posted alot of pics before digitals photoshopped screenshot. Not that any of this matters cause they made up but im just tryin to get peoples facts straight.

Well I was gonna let this slide and not say anything because it really doesn't matter to me, but ahh what the hell I have a couple of free minutes. I won't further abuse this little nerd anymore, but let me get this one thing straight once and for all. I finished and released my visual style before I ever looked in this thread or at your little photoshopped screens, so do not say that I stole _anything_ from you ever again. The buttons that you're talking about came from a screenshot on winsupersite of a longhorn mockup, the same place YOU got them from, and were modified and implimented into my style way before you posted your screenshots. If you want to post photoshopped screens and empty promises or whatever this thing is, more power to you, but don't say I stole anything from you in this thread or any other thread, period.

[MonkeyClaw Veteran]

yea that, lol

[Boz]

this thread is a classic case of trolling and attention getter. I pretty much don't care about your pathetic excuses and bull****. You started this thread with a few LH screenshots with Photoshop doodly-doo and you are like I'm gonna release it and all. I'm sorry, but in future, don't post **** like this, unless you actually did some work on it. We can all post screenshots and come up with BS as you did. My computer crashed, had to reinstall everything lost files.

Why do you need to do this to yourself? Make something usable and proveable and then post WIP, otherwise keep it to yourself before you even announce it. You are just discrediting yourself.

[porky]

Okay, am I wrong... or is this not the WORKS IN PROGRESS section? NOT the Completed VS section? :rolleyes: You don't HAVE to be done something to post here. A couple of PNG files and some photoshopped graphics should be fine in my opinion.

[schaggo]

Yes, you are absolutely right. But read through the thread and you will remark that this *was* (or whatever you will call it) a work in progress. So it was the correct section the author chose, right?

[porky]

:yes: So true.

[MonkeyClaw Veteran]

photoshopped, meaning its fake, meaning that we wont get it. so then how is it work in progress?

[Ran Sagy]

Could you stop the "Illusion is better then you bitch" attitude ? Annoying, really.

[mydear]

just copying someone's idea :angry:

[schaggo]

all i see is schaggo ****ing their pants every 5 minutes.

you hit me hard. an image tells thousand words, so what about that:

1. d00d, first answer May 18 @ ~6am, 6 days after first screenshots which looked quite complete [link]
   
2. 15 hours later (~1 week from first screenshots) another screenshot, clearly showing a themed Windows XP [link]. The next few messages are just chatting, no bitching - yet...
   
3. Watch this: [link], isn't that an undeniable promise? Anyway...
   
4. Next posts by me 2 respectively 3 days later, the latter with first signs of annoyance but only in accordance with what somebody else said in the other thread
   
5. 10 days after the promised release, 7 days after my last message some bitching
   
6. One day later some relaxation/chatting, ~9 hours later some more chatting, but with a subtle touch of irony, the same 15 hours later
   
7. then a reply to some statements made, in fact containing some facts [link]
   
8. and then chatting, chatting, a break for a week, then chatting again, after another week chatting and some offtopic, which continues
   
9. on June 14 sarcasm starts, but not by me, I'm just hopping on the train, and staying there quiet for another 4 days
   
10. after another 9 days a reply by me. but the reply was absolutely correct, no bitching, no irony or sarcasm, just information, and this was in fact the last reply by me in this thread
    

so why the fu?& don't you just STFU and go away? to clear things up for you, a little story in pictures, just for you:

all right? fine then...> and if something isn't correct with this reply, please PM me and I will correct what's wrong or not according to any rules and/or limitations. thanks.

"photoshopped, meaning its fake, meaning that we wont get it.  so then how is it work in progress?"

What I was saying is that I think having a few graphics should be fine, because that IS how you begin to make a theme. A beginning IS progress... therefore a Work In Progress.

But correct me if I'm wrong.
