Perhaps we don't see eye to eye on this. If Windows does not recognize the native file format, which it does not recognize the binary encoded .jpg's, then to change the file into something readable by the OS is, by my definition a conversion.

You are right, I did extract the files. However they must be converted into a format readable by Windows. So I did both.

No beef here, just conversation ;)

I see your point about these applications being able to read the file. You see my point that MOST Windows graphics apps, including Windows Picture and Fax viewer AND Internet Explorer just don't see the pics. It's not alot of work, but it is a conversion. I'm just telling the guy thanks...

Hope we've got that cleared up. ;)

Hey Guy, no offense - but if you don't remove this material from distribution (and I will be keeping an eye out for it) immediately both you and your ISP will be hearing from my lawyers. It states specifically (in the infos, legal notices and even on the images themselves) bundled with my interface stuff that these images are copyrighted materials created for real commercial clients prior to inclusion in my themes (and only placed there as kind of a nod to my illustration background - I don't own these images, but retain rights to use them for my own self-promotion - what you're doing doesn't fall into that category). There seems to be some confusion as to what constitutes fair use here, so just so you know - you're breaking the law. You cannot re-distribute these images out of context or without express written permission, so I advise you to remove all traces of them immediately.

For what it's worth, I'm not trying to be a hard-ass. I appreciate the enthusiasm and the props here... but I had to flip through some hoops to get this stuff included with the schemes in the first place - I am bound by the terms of my agreements with these clients to ask you to remove them immediately and to ultimately take legal steps to stop their distribution if it gets that far - I'm asking you to comply with my wishes. However, there is nothing stopping anybody from downloading the archives and using the wallpapers for their own personal use - it's just that things get sticky when you redistribute. Sorry =/

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets big bug-fixing and balancing update by Taras Buria Today, Playground Games released a big Forza Horizon 6 update with a long list of fixes, patches, and balancing tweaks that the studio promised earlier. Version 375.327 is now available on Steam, Microsoft Store, and Xbox, offering users improvements for AI, audio, design, performance, road discovery, upgrades, visuals, online play, and more. Some of the most notable changes in the Series 2 update include rebalanced drivatars, particularly their difficulty and race start behavior. As such, the game should be more balanced on higher difficulty levels, and AI cars should not shoot out when the race starts as if they have rocket boosters. Speaking of difficulty, developers nerfed Drag Tires physics for a more expected and realistic behavior. They are no longer the go-to option for record-breaking times in road racing, and all leaderboard entries with drag tires will be removed. Completionists will also be glad to get a new feature that lets you see road discovery percentage in each region, which should make discovering all roads easier while keeping it quite challenging and interesting (I spent quite a long time finding the last road). Festival Playlist is also getting some much-needed fixes, including patches for bugs that allowed completing Seasonal Jobs ahead of time or where weekly challenges would not unlock for some players. Developers will retroactively give reward points to all who could not complete all challenges due to these bugs. Other changes include changes to Horizon Play progression so that it is easier to reach Level 100, audio improvements on lower-spec devices, fixes for visual glitches, including pixelated smoke, and more. Developers also addressed the currently non-working Eliminator, an online mode gamers used to farm credits with a Hummer EV exploit. Playground Games plans to re-enable it soon. As a gesture of goodwill, players will get a free McLaren Sabre. Those who used the exploit will not be banned, but developers plan to roll back credits to a maximum of 10M for all who farmed credits using the exploit. You can find the complete changelog for the latest Forza Horizon 6 update here.
