I've been making a bunch of Google Chrome themes.  They're here:  www.themebeta.com/user/35520

I noticed that not every theme maker credits the artist from whom they got their pictures.  That's sad.  I try to do so.

Searching for cursors, I found out that a deviant named juanello00000 (juanello00000.deviantart.com) has been taking other people's work and posting it under his account without permission. He's not even bothering to hide it -- a lot of the submissions have other people's names clearly marked on the preview pictures.

On one of the earlier submissions (one without another name on it), I spotted some cursors which had been made by other people. I posted a comment asking whether he had gotten permission from his fellow deviants to repost their stuff. A friend of his -- or possibly a sock puppet -- made a very rude reply telling me to shut up. When I checked the page, I found that all comments had been deleted... and I was banned from posting on any of this user's pages.

I reported the deviation to the admins as a permission issue. This was a few weeks ago. They still haven't gotten back to me.

So. I've made submitted a bunch more "report deviation"s, and also contacted all the artists I could find whose work has been stolen. Because really, this shit should not be allowed to stand.

Still making icons here and there, as you can see.

Added some icons based on Alegion-Stock's dragons. Also put up a question on the forums about finding a new desktop theme manager; if anyone has useful input, please drop me a line.

As part of my attempt to be more of a presence here, I've submitted some icons and cursors I made with freebie programs. Nothing terribly ambitious, but I hope you all like them.
