RE: [Discussion] Skinning copyrights, cloning, and idea recycling
i agree that stealing other ideas is wrong, me personally i admit ive copied code from other skins and adapted it to learn how to do a certain function, also i used the images from nightfal for the dashboard, toolbar and header of contact list and chat toolbar the reason i did this and then turned them a complete solid colour is so i could get the exact right image dimensions for the graphic none of those original graphics are there now as they were fully customised to look the way i wanted them it literally was just for getting the correct dimensions.
now i dont think thats stealing, however if that is considered stealing then i will of coure give credit to vikke and apologise after all im not going out of my way to steal stuff im trying to be completely original wherever possible, in terms of my graphics im useless at graphic design most of the images i made are gradients or plain colour images, i now get jason (freak544) to do the majority of our skins graphics as he is far better at it than me, i do more of the coding side now but we do try to share the coding work as evenly as possible.
