Sweet, I'll use this for when my wife signs in. That way she wont be too confused.
Oh and on the copyright issue all you have to do is make one line different and it isn't copyrighted. For example, at my university they used the Road Rules graphic and all they did to make it legal was erase one of the lines on the road and it was completely legal because it wasn't exactly the same
The butterfly that's in this image closely resembles the ones that are in the Crystal series by everaldo, so I don't think it's copyrighted by Microsoft.
Anyways, this looks awesome, keep up the good work. Copyright or copyleft, I think it pwnz0rs. :D
thanks cmost, but I think Superstoned is right. Well, sorry. I didn't know that there is a copyright on the butterfly.
Next time, I'll write it in the Readme file :-)
Hope you like my work.
Thanks.
Superstoned, don't you have anything better to do than run around here acting like the copyright police? Who are you, the RIAA or MPAA? MS cannot copyright butterflies or colors. If this guy were to use his butterfly in conjunction with "MSN" or some other Microsoft copyrighted mark you'd have a point. Right now, you don't. This guy does great work. Leave him alone before he stops contributing to KDE-look.org.
Yeah, you're right. I was really drunk when I typed my other comment! On the other hand, if MS were worried about their butterfly getting out, so to speak, they wouldn't have peppered Manhatten with MSN butterly stickers back in October of 2002. One city official criticized the "illegal, irresponsible and dangerous defacing of public property" when he demanded that MS remove the unauthorised butterly stickers that appeared across the city. In other words, I doubt they'll care if one of their butterflies appears in a wallpaper being used on Linux/BSD, or any other competing OS.
i have a feeling the butterfly might be copyrighted, making your work illegal... it looks nice, sure, but i think you should rethink it, a bunch of lawyers around your house, howling at the full moon - doesn't sound great.
KBFX is an alternative startmenu for KDE 3.2+. It improves users' experience by replacing the Win95-like K-Logo button and menu with a larger and thus more visible start button and menu. Wikipedia

This is a very handy theme for switching people from M$ to Linux. Thank you.

Uh, yes they can copyright the butterfly and colors used in it.
