If you guys have any suggestions or remarks, speak out

Yes, I would like to make some remarks. It is morally and legally wrong to download photos or any other graphics from websites (or other sources) and re-use them in your own work. Even if you are making this work available _for free_, you MUST NOT DO THIS unless you have permission from the authors. Period.

I just don't understand how anybody can be so disrespectful regarding other people's copyrighted work just for 2 minutes of "fame" on a website. If you want to be respected, respect the work of others.

Regarding that badly ripped MorphOS window skin that can be seen on your screenshot, I hope you own a valid copy of MorphOS and are not using it illegally.

P.S. The icon set does not look bad. I would probably be able to enjoy it if "restore2003" had actually done it all by himself.

@Jeep

This could be a Morph OS screenshot anyway, it does support png icons after all?

Valid copy of an argueably illegal OS that's treading a very fine copyright line?! lol

Hi Jeep

can you explain better?

Which photos? from which site?

Cheers

jeep: are you on drugs???

he never have seen MORPHOS , and he made thoose skins afaik , and he have had it a long time.

oh and how can you call him a ripper? , i belived mui on morphos had a new version which made it easier to skin up like his skin right there, but he use visual prefs..

man i dont see how you can be so lame here, oh and please SHOW me the link you are talking about so i can download theese skins myself and see what your point is..

(i doubt its 2 minutes work in mui/vp)

jeep:btw  its nt him who made all this (ICONS) and that he stated earlier quite clearly, you are blowing up some minesculeous things..

so do you want to continue here? , shall we jump on people if they use a background image someone else has made and he forgot to say who made it? , shall we attack people who has an ANR / ampilifier skin on a wb grab without telling who made it? , are you paranoid jeep?

sorry but this is INSANE

[lempkee]

neo: VP always worked good with rtg but it was badly documented how to get it working properly, but theese days its pretty simple , but it eats alot of rtg mem so i dont use it... for now

cheers

@Jeep:

I have permission from some of the authors, i`m still waiting for an answer from the rest,
why you make a big deal out of this? cant you understand why im doing this?
The amiga community is here to help eachother and do its best for it to prosper.

So im converting mac icons, resizing, recolouring, mixing different templates together, its just as hard and boresome work as drawing them from scratch.

Im not taking credit for this package and i never will, i just want to have these icons on a real computer where they deserve to be, and share them with permission with you guys.

2 minutes fame my ####### ass!  :-)

restore: R.E.S.P.E.C.T !!

continue your work restore , imho it was just a blue troll who had to mention morphos in this thread

[Merko]

The window border + buttons is obviously stolen from MorphOS (even
though it's broken). That's not fair.

[restore2003]

@Merko:

Whats the big deal about the morphOS skin? You can find it on Aminet  :-? And its only a temporary skin im using for myself, no skins will be released with this pack, so enough...

[lempkee]

merko:what about all thoose amiga skins you use on your morphos install? ..

anyway restore allready said its and icon pack oh and he have showed the window vp settings for the last 2 months? in every screen grab he have shown, i find it really weird that first now its such a big problem, and last i heard morphos wanted to be like aos , and now aos users does abit of the same and gets slaughtered....jeez ..

ah well not my prob but i still find this weird, and most of all , if its freely downloadable then why this big problem? , imho the problem is he made it look like mos and that made alot of mos users feel like "AH #### , he made his aos look as good as my mos" , just as the same complaints came when powericons was released.

get over it, mos people wants everything aos has but we cant have anything back?...

NOTICE: if i am to upload a screengrab in the future, must i then tell everyone who made everyicon and every skin? , must i tell who made all the apps aswell? , please clear this up and post it as a news item.

@ restore2003,
Those look awesome!!

[Framiga]

Hi All,

Are there someone who knows this guy? (registered today-2posts)

mhhh . . .any idea? :roll:

Ciao

[Andre.Siegel]

and now aos users does abit of the same and gets slaughtered....jeez ..

Everybody is free to make a new skin from scratch which looks similar to MorphOS skins. Simply "stealing" a MorphOS skin and changing a few pixels is illegal, however. If you own a valid copy of MorphOS and do this on your home machine, this is fine. But as soon as you distribute this work, things get very serious.

ah well not my prob but i still find this weird, and most of all , if its freely downloadable then why this big problem?

It is NOT freely downloadable. There once was a VisualPrefs skin on AmiNet which was based on ripped graphics, but this was removed very soon after it had been uploaded.

imho the problem is he made it look like mos and that made alot of mos users feel like "AH #### , he made his aos look as good as my mos"

It does in no way look as good as the original window skin. You simply cannot take the MorphOS skin and try to make it work on the old AmigaOS. The skinning system of MorphOS is quite a bit more complex than what you can do with the current releases of VP/Birdie. The "AnuFerox" skin that was uploaded to Aminet was a "nasty hack" which I personally would have never released. It simply looked unfinished and provisoric.

 

get over it, mos people wants everything aos has but we cant have anything back?...

Unless stealing intellectual property is involved, sure.

No you can not. AmiNET doesn't endorse distributing stolen copyrighted work.

@lempkee

what about all thoose amiga skins you use on your morphos install

There are no amiga skins in MorphOS.
