John, I noticed a few things about their styles almost immediately also until I realized something: A certain designer who did a few of the styles that we are familiar with is on the staff at Exaltic. Some similarity is bound to occur.
ahhh, I see that too Kevin...that would explain it although it is still kind of lame. He could of at least changed text and alt1 and 2 colors
those are awesome... love the detail.. my fear of them is how they might look on vbadvanved, photopost pro or other add ons... makes me wish i didnt need that stuff.
nice work, but try not ripping others for your inspiration :down:
Because they were by the same designer... Dwight/Vica. The Alt colours are different, they just look similar. It's not uncommon for designers to create works that are similar to their previous work.
EDIT: Oh CAMs beat me to it. Thanks
As for the customisation worries, I plan to write detailed instructions (or perhaps even tools that automate it) for the popular add-ons for all our skins. Hopefully then people shouldn't have any problems.

Similar enough to not be noticable to the naked eye without a color picker. The container graphics are very similar as well as the forum markers.

No, it's not, but I would suggest talking to your designer about his obligation to not walk the thin line of rights violations when he sells unique rights to a design then reproduces it in such a similar fashion...especially if you are going to be mass marketing them.
Just a side note...I'm not trying to bash you or Dwight. His work is awesome and I wish you the best of luck in your endeavors...but I do vigorously protect my brand
