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?

Please don't go against me now, i just had a lot of time in my hands and did this style since i couldnt think one of my own :P

Peace!

what would be illegal if you created it yourself?

vBulletin incorporate a template system, and the goal of it is to let you create themes, so why would they be illegal afterward?

the only thing i am worried about is that i've build this style by watching vb.org style

so i got all ideas from here

we call this "inspiration"...

most template styles are copied from something... if this site here was an inspiration the guys from DirectPixel can be proud!!!

fair enough

would it be also ok to release it here?

i'm sure as long as images arent exactly the same, down to the pixel, then you'll be just fine.

well, when you see them, you wont be able to know the difference, except the language on some buttons

Then it's subject to deletion..if DrectPixel see's anything looks like it has been copied, he can report it.

I would PM a live demo link to DirectPixel to check with him.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
