That is laughable.

My point wasn't that this case is going to be brought up in court. I highly doubt vBulletin.org will be taking him to court anytime soon.

My point is, is that what he's doing is illegal. United States courts operate on a system of common law, which is based on precedents.

Anyways, back to the original topic of this thread.

I've just made a style 100% identical to vb.org smooth blue style. ALL images are made from me! (Did not copy them from vb.org) and i have the .psd for 'em.

My question is it illegal or ... not cool to use it? And if so, will it be ok to use it with different colors etc?

Given that you have not obtained permission, the answer would be yes. It is indeed illegal for you to use it.
