Title: New Mega skin (WMP10) available, and rights questions
Post by: CDvd on June 25, 2004, 01:39:52 am

Hi,
After playing with Windows Media player 10 I started a skin based on it.
The skin was not created from zero, I started from thunderstorm, made intensives "Print Screen/copy/paste" and made use of some parts of other skins (shining armor).
The skin is far from finished (I even don't know if I will have time to finish it) but if someone is interested, will I have the right to made it availlaible?
Will microsoft or apple or someone else be very angry?

As far as Microsoft being annoyed... It's just really using there colors, This does not Copy WMP10, (You can tell the difference)

As far as the Thunderstorm author and Shining Armor, I would say as long as the SA author JRiver (I think they probably own the skin) agree you should be ok....


Can't wait to have it, Looks amazing!

Feel free to use whatever you want from the Shining Armor skin.
Most of the work i did on it was to modify the main.xml file so that things JRiver implemented along the way in versions 9 & 10 worked.  I also photoshopped some images, but used other people's work as a basis for most of the raw images.

I'm just happy other people can find use for it/enjoy it.

It's looking REALLY good...

The only thing I am not to keen on is the Menus, They are pretty hard to see...


Other then that.... Really cool!

Hmm... You're right!
I changed the menu background (it's now darker), and submited the skin.
If nothing is wrong it will be availaible on the Mega Skins page.

Thanks.
