[quote user="Press 22" post="18386"]Say if I changed the color of a button does that still require me to have credit to who made the style?

My thing currently says 

Powered by Icy Phoenix based on phpBB ©
Design by Press 22/ phpBBStyles.com | Styles Database

I left it like that since I did make some stuff but not all of them... yet.  :mryellow: 

- Also I'd like to make a style to release and love if you would help me with the packaging.  :wink:[/quote]
When you create your style starting from another one usually you should keep the original copyright... unless you change it so much that starting and final styles doesn't match at all... Of course creating a style for phpBB you have to start for something already created... because you can't invent the whole template from scratch, simply because you cannot guess the structure.

In few words... if you change only the colors of some elements you should keep the original copyright... you can add your, but the original copyright must be there.

Of course we will help you in the process of creating a new theme should you need any help... :wink:
