An inquiry about the coming WC Contest....

from WinCustomize Forums
In the Contest Rules is written that all works must be 100% original work of the author/skinner.

All well till now. BUT how about in the DX Theme category?

I mean most things run on scripts now (meters,players,clocks,news,weathers,menus,stuff),but not all authors can write scripts,mostly skinners use somebody elses scripts in their themes.

The question: Do we have to write the scripts for the theme? If we use scripts by other people, with their permission to use them, the skin is considered valid for the contest or not?

Anyone?

In the case of DX Themes, scripts can be borrowed/tweaked (permission included would be appreciated) since not many authors can write the scripts, but the visual graphics HAS to be 100% original work of the author.
BTW, we are eight days away from the first day of submission (Sep 30, 2005)
