Desktop X philosophy is, that it is okay to use other author's DX-objects as long as the author-info remains untouched. Of course Boxxi is right about the wallpapers and other stuff... I have a theme that will remain unreleased because I never could reach the author of the icons I used in there...

I experienced this with the first version of Olympic OS skin in WB, downloading it again, deleting the old one and reinstall helped me.
Sounds like You downloaded the patch and not the full install.
Hey, thanks ! Will try it.
Does anybody know such a proggie ? It should show the caller-id for example on an isdn-line...
Dawn (Gillon) has done a nice IP icon https://www.wincustomize.com/comments.asp?SkinID=113&Lib=18 and Paul (Mormegil) did one for DX https://www.wincustomize.com/comments.asp?SkinID=83&Lib=18 Hopefully more soon ?
Has anyone seen a complete set yet ?
So it came as it should come... There is a intense ripping of MMIcons going on in the Neowin boards. Permission ? No...
Noticed that, too. Most of them go to the adress I use to subscribe to skin sites... And that's also the one, where most of the viruses try to arrive...
And that is a big point, I think. I don't mind for the mac-pc war at all, as I don't mind who is driving what car or whatever...
Hmmm, this becomes a general discussion about ripping. Again, that was not my point. OS-ports are one aspect, but I spoke of original artwork by mac-artists that is converted without any permission. Although some ports are really good and enhanced with more sizes (and much work) others are simple iconshop-converts quickly thrown into a zip-file. I have received many requests to give away the converted MM-Icons via e-mail, but I will not do that as long as Mikkel Madsen (the original author) does
If Your idea really was not inspired by my screenshot I apologize for that. But : The conversion to png is a matter of permission to me, too. My main point was not this special case but another one... (see subject). If You take a look look at devart's winicon-section You perhaps will understand my rant.
I personally think, that 75 percent of those Mac to XP icon-conversions are done and uploaded without permission... Does anybody else feel bad about that ? I'm still waiting for a certain permission just to see that someone else takes my idea from a screenshot and uploads part of it. (Just a side-note...)
The folder-icons can be found here : http://www.mmicons.com/ and have to be ported to win-icons. I did some modifications for my own use then.
Take a look here : http://www.mobiusco.com/ There are some nice walls with fitting colors for the Bleu WB Skin I use "Darkness" with it. You:ll find a screenshot using this combination Screenshot here : https://www.wincustomize.com/library/accounts/c242/screenshots/C242Desk11-2001.jpg
Ooops... "succesfuk" = "successful"
For succesfuk extraction You have to do some modificfations of the options in stuffit-expander as shown here : http://www.c242dx.de/StuffItOptionsMac.jpg IconShop ist the best choice to convert the icons then from the new created folder.
It's 4,53 MB total.
After reading the doc all I can say is "Wow !" Excited about the plans for DX...
Well, download is a problem, I'm on my 10th try now after some broken or cancelled downloads. But after I saw the screenshot it was clear for me, that I must have the suite. Will there be a MusicMatch Jukebox skin, also ??? Please, please ! (I know it is a bit nifty to skin, so nevermind...)
I'm 35... booooh...
Oh my, I know this page for such a long time now... Didn't know, he doesn't have any permission... The site is really almost a "who is who" in wallpapers... I was a bit confused, when I saw the sountox-wallpaper there yesterday... Hmmm...
I think, the mainpage says it all.
Umh, I forgot something. peepod : Don't take the last paragraph personally, I just read the bad reviews on ZDNet and I am sort of angry about some unreflected crap there...
peepod : I think, You will change Your mind completely, when You get Your hands on the themes and objects hosted here and on other places. DesktopX and WindowBlinds are running constantly here on my machine. And no unsolvable problems. Some people especially the ones saying OD apps crash their machines should check their loisy machine-setups before installing any new software... Not to mention the really premier support stardock and the users give in the newsgroups. c242 [Who has enough of peo
