copied from the NG: We call that a safety feature, but we're going to change it to be an option since it causes more questions than anything else. For the moment, edit \windows\wb.ini and add to the [global] section: SkinDisplay=1 Then restart WB.

What I have witnessed with one of the sites popular with "msstyles" folks is that someone finds a WB skin that they want, make the port, show it to people on the bulletin boards (many with an apparent lack of conscience), talk about how great it will be but that they don't have permission yet, sometimes encourage others to obtain permission for them, taunt that they might release it with or without permission for various sundry reasons, and then release it - with or without actual permission.

I have never seen Frogboy act so childish as I have in this thread. I have often defended his words and thoughts on other boards. I hope this issue gets resolved and that folks don't get too heated over it. Sometimes it's best to wait before responding out of anger or frustration.
