It's definitely his skin and the guy doesn't mention any permission or even that it's Paul's work. I doubt it's an authorized port.

I hope Paul checks in here and sees this.

No, I was not asked.

I am on the way to work so I will write this person when I get back. Is it just me or dose this not look like crap. Is this a bad port? or dose visual styles just not suport all the features of WB4? perhaps this is a good example to keep arrownd for the next time someone sayse why use Windowblinds?

I can imagine. Would really be a good idea to keep it as a bad example.

Define ported for me. Lost and confused: ~~~~~~ By what I've read and can figure out it's when you take the style of one type of prog and add it to another. Like the graphics for that style. I'm just confirming. I like to make sure.

Weaksid...porting is like what skinners do when creating a suite of skins....they take the graphics and detailing from one proggy, eg. WindowBlinds and adapt them to, say, WinAMP....that's 'porting'....and when it's from another person's graphics/skins, IT MUST HAVE PRIOR PERMISSION BEFORE UPLOAD...[for the deaf]...
