And the explorer buttons and desktop icons are from the Win2k toolbar aswell?

erm.. probably i didn't explain well (my english sucks, sorry..). i simply used resource hacker to replace the default xp toolbar with the default win2k toolbar. also used resource hacker to get default icons from win2k explorer.exe and replaced xp icons using iphile.

I do not have permission to release a single thing on my desktop so please dont ask. This stuff took a long time to make.

The only thing that seperates my port I guess is the mega 1337 thin taskbar. Thats about it.

Theme: Makkix by redrope

Icons: Mini's In Black by redrope

Dock: Yellow by redrope and deadzombie

Wallpaper: Fusion by ?

I finished my verison and I sent and e-mail to the author and he say this:

Sorry,

I do not want to port my works to the other OS. Therefore I don't permit it.

Thanks,

Im gonna post a screenshot of my latest dtop soon with my version finished :ermm:

Here is the email I just sent him. I hope that he will let me release a port. I know many people got turned down but hopefully this is convincing enough:

Dear Takashi -

Ok I know that you have to be getting sick of this, but I would like to port your themes Makkix and Maggra-X. I know that you are going to be thinking no right now, but please listen. I am a member at www.neowin.net and there are many great skinners and many talented people there. We have been admiring your theme there for a while and I know that you dont want to let it be released for XP and I can clearly understand that. If I made a theme like that I would restrict it too. I respect that, but you need to look at it another way. There have been about 15 ports by 15 people of your theme that have been made by people at Neowin. I am one of them. I am working on one and it looks great so far, and so has KoL who has been turned down. Most of the ports though, including ours, do not really show your expertise at skinning due to the lack of images and the lack of the quality of images. Think about it this way. There are many images of it that are ported to XP, but may look really bad. Anyone can port and many have posted tutorials and everything. Your theme is the most non-permissioned port I have ever seen, so here is what I propose. Let me and KoL do a port of your theme. You can look at our progress and tell us what to change. You could give us the original bitmaps to ensure the best quality possible and your theme would have maintained quality and you would expand your audience and you would have a huge fanbase. The people at Neowin released a port of a theme called Milk that you may have heard of. They didnt have permission. About an hour later, the theme was taken down and the creator was mad. I totally understood that, but then he was given a similiar proposal and he accepted and gave the original bitmaps and it became a huge theme and everyone was happy. This could be the same here. I urge you to agree to this. You would be doing us a favor, but also yourself because your theme would be official and not degraded in quality. Thank you for reading.
