Artist's Note
Everything there is to read is in the readme. Which is like, three lines of text. :P
Inspired by Imrik's NIKA sublevel (And yeah, I got permission to use the name. Thanks Marius!).
The Windowblinds theme will be a little late. Still haven't gotten permission for it. :/ A small set if icons will also be done later on by - DioS - (Thanks!).
Licensing: the artist has specified that ports are allowed.

This looks familiar... edit: After reading some replies, I just wanted to add something. My first thought when seeing the screenshot was "wtf not again." But then I installed it, took it for a spin, and checked out the rc files. While "this looks familiar," it is, infact, its own theme. I do think inspiration should credited, but after examining it, I don't see anything horribly wrong...other than it being too familiar.

Sure is nice. Good work you. We in #disrupted like the cut of your jib. Feel free to stop by some time. thirst: As far as I can tell, just the side-mounted controls are taken from that theme. I hadn't noticed that before, actually. Also, they sorta seem redundant since the amp control has those same shortcuts on it anyway.

Maybe I'm missing some inside joke here, but isn't this a complete rip of Aero's tilt? mynimal:Any reasonable person looking at the themes side by side (Aero's tilt: http://www.customize.org/details/38428) would conclude that you simply rebuilt and recolored Aero's theme. I personally don't have any issue with this, as long as you sought and received permission to release. Your argument is that since you didn't actually take anything from tilt, your theme is original. While I would certainly agree that the code is original in that case, the theme itself is a rip. The interface is the shell. NIKA06's interface looks exactly like tilt with the exception of the popup. The popup is what bothers me most. I can't stand it when theme's brand the popup with a graphic. In this case that seems worse in that it tries to brand this concept as yours when I think Aero deserves the credit. Finally, as to your argument that any rounded theme is a rip of Aero, I disagree. An example that comes to mind is exeed by visionleage and Static (http://www.customize.org/details/40292). Exeed is similar to tilt, but to me it's more of a spiritual connection than a direct rip. Enough of my ranting. I just think one should give credit where credit is due. BTW - I really like the winamp control.
Edit: Points taken. Issue withdrawn. Sorry for poking the hornet's nest. Nice work mynimal.

mynimal, I actually posted a screenshot of a LS theme of mine with per pixel alphatransparency and rounded corners long before Aero's tilt theme. It was a tribute to moshi's Rewind rainy skins. I'm not saying I was the first, but it does take more than just rounded corners to make a theme rip. If you coded this from scratch and you made each individual image from scratch, then you know it is not a rip. That is all that is important.

I think aero actually praised him for it as well, so I don't think aero is upset..

great job, i like it. thirst, i much appreciate your sentiments but i think this is quite a good job, definitely shares graphical elements with tilt but i think the vibe is different enough. anyways i guess im just saying dont judge this theme by its inspirations but the theme itself.

Mynimal, you have done an excellent job on this theme. Yes it looks like Tilt, but I won't go into that (you don't wan't me to.) Over all this theme is gorgeous. "Thirst" obviously has too much time on his hands to sit there and write a book on what he doesn't like. It's a freakin' theme site, c'mon. If it were an identical clone, I could understand, but this is just another mostly popup-driven theme, with a few quirks here and there.
Overall, mynimal, this is a great theme. The whole design is beautiful. I think you did a really good job.

Sure, you could say it was built off of tilt, but tilt was great so why wouldn't you. In tilt I really liked the sidebar of the back, play, and next. This is just a new theme with flavors from tilt. It's highly useable and clean. kudos

mojomonkee: Actually, one of those is the theme and the other is winamp modern.
Scathester: Heh, that's funny. Never saw that skin, but yeah it does vaguely resemble that.
neato burrito: There's one in progress, actually. :P http://img488.imageshack.us/img488/4408/
