Luna Element 5

[BelowSky]

Hate to sound extremist but among hundreds of themes filling the Internet, Luna Element is THE ONLY reason that makes me batch uxtheme.

Your theme has only one competitor: Microsoft default theme.

I opened the RIP in SkinStudio and look what it shows:

That's how lame he is. What makes him think that people will believe all that when everyone obviously knows that it's a rip.

We won! :D The ripped visual style has been removed.

[Phantom Limb]

Me too.

Were you the guy I talked to on his comment page?

[Lee G. Veteran]

Me too.

Were you the guy I talked to on his comment page?

No, it wasn't me. I didn't leave any comments.

I was following this closely and I find it ironic that he had placed this message on almost all his work:

Don't Modify, Change or Use Any Resources Without My Permission. if Anyone Is Seen Using This Work Without My Permission Then The Officials Will Have Them Taken Down

After looking through his whole gallery, I find that most of his work is just Vista mods and a few msstyles modified to look like Vista. The rest is wallpapers of Bollywood stars, OS, girls and Avril Lavigne. His goal is to earn friends and achievements/applause/gracious comments.

What's the world coming to, I wonder?

The Internet is not for the mature educated people only,remember that 12 yr olds can easily make an account on any site.People with no sense of value or respect...some f'n rejects that you would never pay attention to,or even drop a reply in disgust if you knew them in real life.

It's a waste of time to care about low-lives such as these.

Also..chances are he got it of an nLite'd WinXP,he knows nothing of the Luna Element "embargo" and he wanted to share.There's always "God damned retard never cared of another's work" version too. :D Myself I'd feel ashamed to post the VS and claimed as my own.

As an "outsider", I am amazed that people like this guy can cause such concern in here. A whole page spent on him with strong comments about him. I am not defending him, but I wonder if it is worth such discussion by the members of the forum - over a visual style which is now gone and probably forgotten by most people in Deviant Art. With things like the economy, war, natural disasters, etc. , the importance of a "stolen" vs - or rip, whatever it is called, ranks very low in importance in the overall scheme of things. Blast me if you want, but I really don't place that kind of reverence on a visual style or theme. I use them only because they are fun and I like some of them. ->->->stepping off my soapbox! :D

[Jamushroom Veteran]

Why are you comparing art with economy, war, natural disasters, etc? I agree that it's more important but it doesn't mean that people can rip-off each others hard work.

Go the the front page and read about why it's an issue to skin artist when their work is being ripped.

I am certainly much more impressed by an innocent being beheaded for islam.Or a girl getting stoned to death.

But this is art and work.Somebody spent time to create something...and seeing just anybody claiming it is his own creation it just..SUCKS.

You would like your work ripped just because someplace else there is a war ? Or anything except Iraq is not considered a problem and everyone should go there ?

It's not forgotten,it's one of the few almost perfect VS' I've seen.I don't use it atm since I am a VS junkie and change them almost every day. :D I'm an "outsider" too,but felt like saying something since this was really stealing someone's work.

The new SP3 for XP won't allow you to modify the theme .dll file though :(

So you can't use themes.

Someone has to figure out a new patch for the new theme file or has someone already?

[Jamushroom Veteran]

Here are 2 links that you might to check out:

Uxtheme for XP SP3

UXTheme Multi-Patcher updated for SP3?

Not sure if these work since I haven't installed SP3 yet.

Does what it's supposed to... and really fast.

[SiCKX]

Does this still count as a rip ?

[Jamushroom Veteran]

Yep, since he ripped stuff from LE. I've already reported it to the dA board.

To be fair though, it doesn't really look like Luna Element. I could be wrong though.

whats the point really? i know LE is great and all amongst the XP community, but reporting everyone who uses a similar button or ripped elements is a complete waste of time. i know you want to protect your work, if thats the case, don't you think its better for it to be a NFR?

[Jamushroom Veteran]

^Why do we need to have this discussion everytime? Check the last page or go directly to the front page to see why it's reported.

@Scirwode: Check the titlebar, start panel, taskbar and the scrollbars.

one way or another this can't be prevented, but good luck with the outlawing

[Jamushroom Veteran]

I know it can't be prevented but I can always try to report it. If I didn't report the mods then there would be lots of ripped LE versions on deviantART.
