Re: [ros-dev] Win8 theme for ReactOS?

[Daniel Reimer]

Isn't it fun that ppl simply don't understand a "NO" I give 'em in
the 
forums?! I even explained why and that GreenteaOS is not more than 
stolen ROS code (*) filled with questionable code sources like the 
betaarchive forums. So "NO" means go on the other dev's nerves for a 
ugly theme violating our and MS's copyrights? Not really my definition 
of "NO", but thanks all that you support my answer ^^

As always the fitting motto for this: Think first, THEN talk!

"secret" where the stuff comes from.
