Looking at the Open Source character of Plus! skinning this is to be expected (no resource is hidden). As long as it isn't almost exactly the same in looks i don't see a problem with it (like takin all original resources and only colour em differently for example).

How things are accomplished internally will be the same (or very much the same) anyways. And i do believe (and this goes especially for the skins released on release of Plus! 4.50) our skins are ment as an example on how things can be done too. I don't put comments in my SkinInfo.xml just for myself but for others to learn from as well.

If you are the first with a specific idea and made it real, be proud of it. If you had help with it at least thank that person in your release thread (everybody needs a lil help sometimes, nothing to be ashamed of). If somebody else likes your original feature and understands by reading your code and implements it, be happy you've set a trend.

Nobody is stopping you from including a README.TXT with your skin in which you ask people not to use your images without your permission...but do think before doing so.

Example: my skin exists out of Plus! resources i applied to extracted images and copyright free clipart found on the internet...wouldn't be fair to copyright them as my own (sure the result of Plus! resource slapped on original image is original..but that's where it ends).
