OK.

weren't you banned?

Top bootskin 'author'?

More like top bootskin 'porter.'

Yes, they take the work of the original author and move it to a different program.

Yes, Im well aware that it takes work to port a skin/wallpaper or whatever.

The originality, developing an idea and turning it into something might be lost

Exactly.

My second remark, was, admittantly a little 'tongue in cheek.'

This seems like the right thread to express something...

A bootskin and a wallpaper are not the same thing. Taking a nice wallpaper and converting it to a crappy pixelated image is so wrong I have to contain myself. Has anyone to date taken a bootskin and converted it to a wallpaper? NO! Why? because bootskins have a different use than wallpapers.

Uzee, this is not an attack on you personally, you just happen to fit into the group.

What happened to the art of creating a bootskin? Trying to create one using 16 colors that looks good is very difficult. Porting every wallpaper that comes along is causing everyone to lose touch with the art of creating a bootskin. Please stop porting wallpapers for bootskin usage. They ALL look like poop. Get back to basics and create something new, original, and works as a bootskin. I know my words are confusing and I know I am going to offend alot of people but I just had to say what I had to say. For the bootskin authors that I offend....you have misssed so many opportunities it is rediculous. Here are a few

Windows XP fart edition
Windows XP lazy addition
Windows XP going to sleep edition
Windows XP I cant create anything for myself edition
Windows XP breakfast edition
Windows XP lunch edition
Windows XP dinner edition
Windows XP midnight snack edition

5736 wallpapers in the WC libraries. 1014 bootskins. That leaves 4722 wallpapers waiting to get "ported" to bootskin.

Danillo makes 'em from scratch hehe...

Totally agree on this. That is why I reject all the permission request to port any of my walls into BootSkins, beside I port them my self

I also hate when they port a wall into a Logon but leave the default buttons and user images. It's like a half-way-done bad job. >

Look at this. O is Original, M is Mixed (some parts ported with permission and some original) and P is Ported.

Now Looking at the above stats my best downloaded and rated are my Original Work. Then again the worst ever are also my original work. Where as the Ports just lay in the middle.

Plus now if I re-upload my Work which is not by the name UzEE (UzEE!! and Uzair Sajid). will it fix the problem or ot.

You'll have to include permission from yourself for using your own work that you created

Thats what I thaught.
Now what would be the best method of getting permission from my self, shall i leave a comment for permission in one of my skinsor shall i create a post here. Or maybe i should mail myself and get a permit.

All these accounts...yours and your brother's...gets a bit too confusing....perhaps there is a specific need to delete ALL but one each.

In which case you will have to re-upload whatever is 'lost'.

You are 'supposed' to have one account only...

and the original intent behind this thread was what? was somebody concerned about downlaod counts? i forget.
