I got most of the layout design look from the Edgecrusher skin, cos I liked how it looked with those colors, the buttons I drew up myself but I'm thinking of changing it around because I'm not sure if it looks to much like Edgecrusher. Let me know, I don't want to rip off that guys skin.

If you see a red X wait a minute and refresh the screen, AOL's FTP is being really gay lately and it's all I have for uploads.

sometimes it is good to try to copy something, it helps to learn. I have been trying to copy many parts oof skins (no, i'm not trying to rip anything, just to learn).

Just my opinion, but I can`t understand copying at all. There are too many ideas out there. Why borrow someone elses ? I want all the credit (or blame) for my designs.
Now you can certainly get ideas and learn technique from others but to copy would be a total waste of time to me.
I guess there`s nothing wrong with it as long as you don`t actually re-publish copied work (a.k.a. "a rip")

Copycats lack originality.

IIRC Mantra II stole several components from other skins.

You'd be surprised what you can do inside of a 275x116 pixel box.
