Well doesn't that make it an original theme then? I could understand if it was just a mod of a couple of themes but if you have elements from that many themes and have included your own stuff, I don't see how you could not release it as an original.

Really if you look at other "original" themes out there, can we all honestly say that that every element is an original creation? If they are not a direct copy, I'm sure many of them are "inspired" by other themes. How many themes out their still contain some Aqua elements? Do those artists ask permission from Apple? No, ofcourse not.

You really should consider releasing this as an original.

Aren't collages original art? It's not like you would be taking just two themes, mashing them together and calling it your own.

All that sounds good until copywrite comes into play. The theme contains original graphics of an unreleased theme, esXXi doesn't allow mods and neither does DSKY so why would I bother with permissions? Theming on OS X sucks to the max but if you wanna have certain things then you have to bite the bullet and learn Themepark.....as an FYI, the "Prune Aqua Elements" command in Themepark is there so Apple isn't infringed upon....so for now, this shall remain "inspirational"....

Yeah, seriously, do you do anything else? No offence, I'm just hideously jealous of the way your OS X looks. Ever thought about doing an original theme? You obviously have the skill.

Either that, or put some effort into getting permissions for some of your mods. I still long for that Pulsar/Powermetal mod.
