    I've made my own windows 8 theme for windows 7 and want to share...


    But i'm not sure if i'm at risk for any legal action if I do. I used a lot of images from the windows 8 developer preview and i was wondering if Microsoft could/would sue me for copyright infringement if I shared the theme. I feel like I would be fine to share it here but not so much at a website such as deviantart where its more focused around posting things that are completely your own work. What do you guys think? Would you even be interested in it?

    I spent about 3 days on it just doing it the manual way with gimp and restorator, figuring out which image does what through trial and error. It's my first ever windows theme but I'm pretty experienced with android theming, which is a similar process overall. I've got it themed down to almost every detail (I take pride in my OCD).

    Here's a couple Screenshots for the curious.

    Looks great dude, I'd like to use it if it turns out that it's legal and all that.

    Nice work. You must post a link here if you share it somewhere.
