Accepted, welcome to the Opposition! And yeah, IvyCat had an idea here about adding a notice.

Accepted, welcome to the Opposition! And I think I might know which pet you're talking about, actually

If we had this viewer thing, what if we post our designs on a thread so we can copy and paste it into generator later without saving it? Theres no way Im recreating them every time. Plus, Krin probably copy pasted the themes he picks from the thread into gen to see their colours and traits.

Edit: what about looking into implementing a rule or system where you can pick under public public use or showing only to show whether anyone can use the design or only you

In my imagination I was imagining a kind of system where you can set designs to something like 'public viewer' when you save them, where you (as the designer) can open it and nobody else can. If it worked like that then you could copy the functioning image address from the generator while it's in the editing mode for things like the theme design competitions.
I'm not sure if that would work, so another option for public viewing could be that nobody, including the designer, can open them, and designers save it privately as well, but that would take up a lot of space in the generator.

Does that make sense? I'm just kind of putting the jumble of ideas in my head into words and can't tell if other people can understand.

Oh right, a suggestion I had for a level of theft is taking someones design and entering it in a contest, and also winning prizes from that as well. That causes an enormous mess of regenning a stolen pair, and is an issue for the contest owner as well as the designer.

I'm sorry, but I don't quite understand what you are referring to when you say 'viewer thing'. Could you please rephrase the first paragraph a bit? Sorry, I'm kind of tired right now, so that might also be why I don't really get it.

As for your second idea, I think that's a very good suggestion, and it probably wouldn't be that hard to code (though again, I'm not a coding expert, so I don't really know).

Ooh, I definitely support that idea Wavy, it would definitely be more effective in preventing design theft from happening. Of course, it does seem more complicated, and I'm not sure if it would be feasible to code, but I definitely think it's a great idea that could help a lot!

I'll definitely add that, thanks!

Also, just wanted to say, if you want completely invisible text save highlighting, use the color F5FAFF. It's the actual color of sylestia's background.
