[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Father Ted:
You are one of many my friend!

I was a great supporter of DINIK from the day he first produced his 'Anastasia' theme...... if only because I did not have the time or patience to sit at a computer and create something with proper thanks to the real creative talents of the designers of Photoshop.

But over the last number of weeks, every third post DINIK makes is about "his rules" and how everyone is "stealing" something that, in reality, he stole from someone else.

He did NOT create the glassy icons from scratch..... he merely abused the talents of the developers at photoshop to make something.

Anyone can do it - plenty have ........ and......... even on how to put the picture inside!

I mean, all you have to do is make a few measurement adjustments and tweeks to THIS....... add a few more layers, and 'hey presto', you have a glass overlay.

As I say, plenty have done it before DINIK...... it's NOT his design.

Once you make the glassy template on photoshop, then all you have to do is go steal an icon off the internet like this.....

and then using a little photoshop reflection, bastardise it to these..........

​

........... and once you've done that, you're then entitled to troll xda-forums accusing everyone of stealing your ideas, imposing 'YOUR rules' and throwing tantrums about who can and cannot use them!

DINIK has became so anally retentive about this 'anastasia' that I reckon if he put a bit of coal between his butt cheeks, he could probably crunch out a diamond!

So I do wonder when the 'powers that be' on xda are going to retake control of this forum and allow 'developers' to develop!...... and that anyone who posts an icon set with a glassy theme are not going to be brow beaten and bullied by DINIK and his 'hangers-on'

I love this forum.

I am envious of the people who freely, and openly share their talents with me and everyone else - and I am humbled when I see them encourage other members to evolve and develop an idea or concept of theirs, and share it,

unconditionally

, with the entire community

So anhphe076, don't be disheartened. You create as many glass icon sets as your talent, creativity and artistic flair can imagine, and post them here for us all to appreciate and thank you for.

I gave DINIK a healthy donation to encourage him to persue what was, and still is, a very pretty 'photoshop' project - but instead, it appears I have only encouraged someone to thrown hissy fits all over these forums.... and others.... and make him act like he's some kind of legend - even though we all know it's merely in his own mind!

So the truth is anhphe076, that people like Cookie, John, Santod, Jaguaralani..... Touch X! are the real artists, creators and talents on xda - and it's also worth noting, that none of these people complain, make rules, accuse or deny anyone on this forum from using the fruits of their talent, and actively encourage and compliment others who sweeten it even further.

They don't scream and cry like a spoilt child, who stamps their feet and constantly threaten to take their toys to a different kindergarten.

I have deleted Anastasia off my phone...... and DINIK can keep the money I sent him.

Nobody holds me to ransom.
