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

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?

I found this...

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

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?

^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

    • Fun fact: There are more Warhammer 40k games than there are stars in the universe.
    • laughing is tedious. Elephants really are laughing lazy, y'all..
    • Agreed. And this is a great discount offer! It's a shame that there's no discount offer option for people who would be fine subscribing for a year-long term, but pay monthly.
    • A Warhammer 40K racing game and a chess roguelike are free to claim on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The Epic Games Store has returned to its standard giveaway procedures after weeks of mystery freebies. The latest drop is replacing last week's Rogue Waters and Songs of Conquest games and has brought in a double giveaway offering Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks and The Ouroboros King. As always, the game is yours to add permanently to your Epic Games Store library within the next seven days. From the duo, Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks lands from developer Caged Element, and it's a racing game that was only released last year. The title has you piloting Ork buggies, tanks, and aircraft modeled after the popular tabletop miniatures. The focus is on multiplayer mayhem, offering multiple game modes that have you fighting other players as everyone tries to survive and get across finish lines or destroy mechs. Crossplay support between PC and consoles has now arrived as part of a free update, too, giving a boost to matchmaking times for this multiplayer-focused title. If racing carnage isn't your thing, then The Ouroboros King offers tactics. The indie title is a mashup of chess and standard roguelike experience, letting players create their own armies to defeat an enemy faction, all on the familiar checkered board. There is a procedurally generated map, pieces with special abilities, relics that bend the game's rules to make overpowered builds, and more. The newly available Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks and The Ouroboros King giveaways on the Epic Games Store are set to run until June 11, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, a new freebie will take its place on the same day. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.
