Rare icon request

Though I've just submited a few icons to the ObjectDock skin area, I've been a visiter and registered user of WC for a long time. One thing easy to see is, there are too many icons for the "famous" programs, like Photoshop, Winamp, WMP... As I know, a lot of people use many other programs on their PC, and they can't find their OD icons anywhere, as well as they do not know how to create one themselves (as in my case before).
So, why don't we have an "open area" for those OD users to request for their favorite programs' icons? And those who can use graphical apps can create them. It's also a chance to improve your skills isn't it ?
I'll be the first... Any one need an icon? You can send me a screenshot of the origin icon, and I'll try to make it an OD one (128, 256, in PNG or ICO...).
Not so good in graphik, so I need the help from the pro gd!

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 http://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.

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.
