Hello all again. Its been a while since I've been here, I'm hoping people still check this thread. I have a request for a icon I cannot find anywhere, and do not have the talent to create it. I just recently upgraded to Windows 7, and got a router and set up a home network. My Network name is Glitch, and I would like an icon made that looks like Glitch from ReBoot. I have a couple pictures here, but I'd like it to look more real and less cartoony, if that makes sense.
Thanx in advance.
in OD gallery
Thanx Po, great job!!
Hope you like it. I wasn't sure what the hell I was making. lol. Hope it's far enough from 'cartoony' for you.
damn double post
Nevermind, I figured it out.

Well, if I wanted to get tossed off the site, pirating one of his icons would be the way to go.
Pirating? WTF are you talking about? I just want to put an icon on my desktop but in the .ico format it looks odd.
I am talking about altering someone elses intellectual property. That is WTF I am talking about. And then making that other persons property available for you to download and any other person who doesn't understand that you can not and should not do that....at the very least without at least making an attempt to get the original authors permission.
You could shell out a few bucks and get Iconpackager and Icondeveloper and do it yourself. You could transform all the freaking icons you wanted. Just as long as you don't post them for other folks.
You have been a member here for 3 years, have downloaded stuff, and EVEN posted stuff in the gallery. YOU should KNOW better than to ask someone to alter another artists work. When you post your sysmetric skins you get the artists permission to put in the zip, RIGHT?!?!?!?! Or should I go download them all and see if you actually have the permission in them.
Happy TurkeyDay!
So you are saying converting a .ico file to a .png file is piracy? Even if it is for personal use.
I did look into contacting skinhit but didnt find a link until 2of3 helpfully provided it, fortunately some people offer assistance instead of making accusations and threats.
By the way I have "shelled out a few bucks" so I have IconPackager, Icondeveloper and several other applications. The ones that come with the Ultimate Object Desktop Suite. I also have a Wincustomize Subscription in case you were wondering. Maybe you could stop ranting at people and create a helpful user guide for some of these apps. You know, just to help those of us not a brilliant as you figure out how to make, convert icons and such.
I think you should go check my skins, I could use the additional downloads.
It is called Thanksgiving Day. A time to be thankful for what you are blessed with. The beginning of the holiday season where people are more friendly to their fellow man. Helpful even. Maybe you should drop the Turkey and but the Thanksgiving back into it.
A much better original reply by you would have been something like:
Asking to have someones icons converted isnt the best way to get things done. Intellectual property and all. Have you tried PMing skinhit at https://forums.wincustomize.com/pm/new/1703199 ? I am sure he would help you out.
You're a skinner. You know to ask permission when using someone elses work. You had no problem getting it from the people whose work you used for your skins. SO why would you openly ask here for someone to alter another artists work?
You've been a member for 3 years and obviously know how it works or you wouldn't have permissions in your skins.
Maybe you should have mentioned you had the tools and needed help using them. And I do know you have a subscription..for 3 years. WHich is why I am so surprised I have to explain ANY of this to you.
As for my reply...if I had made you a png and posted it, I would have been pirating or violating his intellectual property..and would most definitely have found myself thrown off the site. It was more a specualtion. I had seen that you had already been pointed in the right direction. Obvioulsy, you needed further explaining, which again, surprises me.
The 'TurkeyDay' was intentional. They seem to come out when the staff takes a break around here.
Fine suffice it to say thanks to 2of3 I contacted skinhit and everything is working now.
Thanks alot PoSmedley, they are fantastic, thanks for the time you took to make them, it's much appreciated.
OK I know I’m a total geek but I’m fine with that. I have a short cut to WinCustomize recent forum on my OD and would love to have an icon for it. Anyone know of one or could I request one? Thanks.
