'Borrowing' buttons?
Hey, what's the general feeling on using buttons from the profiles included in the full TB distro, to make your own profile, to be redistributed back here?
I really liked a 'Pause' button I found in one of the flight sim profiles (well they're all flight sim profiles), plus I lifted a toggle switch and modified it. I don't remember where I got it, whether from Rugg or Z or ?, none of the profile names mean anything to me since I don't play the sims. All's fair for personal use I guess, but I'd like to contribute something back to the community and don't want to steal someone's work. Tommy |

In general, unless someone has expressly said not to copy their stuff, people don't mind you borrowing buttons, but just put a comment in your Readme or Profile Header in the Toolkit to give credit.
The general Idea is to make it easier for more profiles to be created by sharing. PS: For some reason my Pause button has become kind of popular, and reused a lot. And I am honered because it's really pretty simple.

From what I've seen there's no problem using someone's work for a new profile, as long as you give them credit for the artwork in the profile you distro. I make no bones about using some of WBK's artwork in my F-15 profile, and I'm using Oscar's Maps plugin too.

Yep, that's it. But if you don't know where you got some of the buttons, just put a general 'thanks to whoever created it' in your readme.

I have used that one of yours on every profile I've done Bill ! Thanks.
I have also massaged loads of Rugg's originals to suit my profile too - thanks a bundle. I credit everyone (including the cleaner)! |
