Wave 11 Live for Windows Live Messenger is coming soon.

its based on my old wave 11 skin. http://riangelo.deviantart.com/art/Wave-11...er-7-0-18869410

You are an absolute joke!

Wave 11 is not your skin, it was made by theunknown and I, Fizical (i've changed my name on neowin). You have completely ripped us off.

this is not about the mac skin, I'm more disappointed with your post on DA. You make no reference to the fact that theunknown and i put this together and you claim it as your own skin. you even said here "it is based on my old wave 11 skin". you mocked it up yes but you definitely didn't make it. Im sure I remember crediting you for your contribution of resources, you could have been decent enough to do the same rather than portray others work as your own. I don't think that is much to ask. this is all in reference to your DA msn 7 skin.

I don't see any credits to me in the wave 11 installer.

And neither in the Black ice skin description which i helped on.

But if it's really a problem for you I'll put your name in the description. :)

I was expecting the same in the wave 11 installer but i was wrong.

The original wave 11 was made by theunknown and if i remember correctly he had made this skin originally without any design or mock-up from you. The only way your design varied from publically available as the wave 11 leaked shots out of microsoft was the gradients which he later incorporated. Despite that, here is me crediting you for the design in a release thread:

Whatever went into the installer was not my doing as theunknown made all those but we usually tried to mention credits in release threads on forums. I still believe it is much worse to claim a skin made by others as your own work. I don't care about skinning anymore but i do find it cheeky when people do what you have done. releasing the exact same skin that we made under your own name and claiming it is yours is just plain cheeky and lazy.

I'm done with this topic now, i don't care if you change your DA post or anything and we don't need or want any credits if you make a new wave 11 skin off your own work completely. As i said i don't have a problem with this mac skin, it is the DA skin that bugs me.

can you please stop sending messages in private and on here... stop the duplicates please. use one method or the other.

sigh you just don't get it. in your original link to the wave 11 skin (not this one you have just produced) which has over 50,000 downloads you made no mention of theunknown, not a scrap. We did give you permission to post on DA but it would not have been without linking to our then functional site and crediting theunknown. we had a strict rule about linking to our site and we only allowed mess.be to host our file on their server.

Your first (earlier version of msn) wave 11 post on DA was credited, but when the update was released later on you made no mention of it. So i believe we would have checked your original posting of DA and see you had credited theunknown and left it at that, then you went and put the update on there but we never knew you had left off any credits.

as for the wave 11 idea, it was based off a public available design from microsoft, many people had thrown together mocks and so had we. i remember talking about this with the unknown because we were looking for skin ideas and we already had thought to make the wave 11 style skin and were taking steps towards that, including designing one, then your idea with the gradients came in through your mockup and we adapted to that. i had wanted to make the other leaked wave11 style skin before you popped up which is what i had been working on. it eventually became the wave 11 shiro version from memory as we tried to make sure it was different from wave 11 itself. it was something we had been working on before you came alone. but no doubt you gave a great contribution to it.

now lets drop it please and if you need to continue this then pm is probably more appropriate.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Classic 7 is Windows 10 LTSC cosplaying as Windows 7

      By Skyfrog · Posted

      Windows 10 IoT LTSC is supported until 2032, Windows 11 LTSC until 2029. So oddly enough the Windows 10 version is supported longer.
    • Latest Rufus update improves new Windows 11 install method

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Latest Rufus update improves new Windows 11 install method by Taras Buria Pete Batard, the maker of Rufus, a very popular app for creating bootable Windows (and other OS) media, has released a new beta version of its app. Rufus 4.15 beta is now out, and while it offers no new features, there are all sorts of improvements and fixes, including for the new Windows 11 installation method that was introduced in version 4.14 in early May. The "Silent Windows 11 installation" is a new feature whose goal is to automate operating system installation. All you have to do is boot from the drive, and then Rufus takes over, doing all things for you, such as setting up a new account, skipping ads and prompts, and more. It is a very handy tool, but initially, it had some bugs and issues that required addressing. With version 4.15 beta, Rufus is fixing that, particularly a bug with installation failing at 75%, crashes on Snapdragon X-based PCs, and more. Here is the changelog: Rufus 4.15 beta is now available for download from its GitHub repository. If you have never used Rufus before, you can check out our guide here. It is a very useful utility to have, as it allows you to deal with plenty of Windows 11's annoyances, which are still there, despite Microsoft's ongoing efforts to fix them.
    • Microsoft fixes one of Excel Copilot's most frustrating limitations

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft fixes one of Excel Copilot's most frustrating limitations by Usama Jawad Microsoft began integrating Copilot into Excel a couple of years ago and has been upgrading it with new functionalities since then. While some changes have been controversial, Microsoft is hoping to win over users by allowing them to be more productive via Copilot. To that end, it has now announced a Copilot improvement that may actually be appreciated by people who use it regularly. Excel customers often use the Copilot prompt box to issue instructions to format and customize their data, but it can become quite tiring to keep repeating the same instructions again and again. Microsoft now allows you to define Copilot personalization rules for formatting, naming conventions, formulas, and report styles. These can be accessed via Settings > Personalization, where you can explain your rules in natural language like "Always format currency in USD with no decimals", and just let Copilot take care of the rest. Microsoft is going a step further in this direction by allowing you to set workbook rules too. These rules are stored as a .Rules sheet, and are preserved while the workbook is shared. This fosters collaboration while making sure that standard rules govern the Copilot editing experience across the organization. Other advantages of this capability include pointing it to specific examples, defining dynamic formulas, and referencing an entire sheet and asking Copilot to infer rules based on that. You can leverage this feature by opening Copilot in Excel, clicking on "+", and selecting Create workbook rules. If you have an existing .Rules sheet, you can simply start listing the rules in column A as well. Personalization features are available to all Copilot in Excel users across the web, Mac, and Windows. Meanwhile, workbook rules are currently being previewed for Windows and Mac customers on the Insiders channel. General availability is scheduled after a few weeks, but a concrete date is currently unknown. Overall, the Excel capability is quite similar to ChatGPT's memory features, which allow you to permanently store items in the AI model's context window.

    • Millions of users to benefit from Windows 11's new performance boost on Adobe Photoshop

      By thartist · Posted

      This sounds like underneath the nice marketing spin, either someone at Adobe got tired of their lazy devs and asked Microsoft to help them sort at least some of Adobe's ancestral spaghetti code to make it go faster, or Microsoft wanted Adobe's crap to run better on Windows to make it look better when compared to Apple, so they offered to intervene. Either way, GOOD.
