do you guys knwo where I can find not lowres reference pictures of all the ui elements used in the official client (with the "classic" skin, preferably including the roundness) for me try to copy "by eye" to make a "theme" for S60v3 mobiles? (I dunno when or even if I'll ever get any good enough results, but having good reference material will probably increase the odds of me working on it)

I found several image files in a subfolder int he SL folder, but they are all very lowres and looks like they are scaled down version of a higher resolution original, it would be nice if I could have access to the originals, or at least versions with resolution closer tot he original. I would also like to have each ui element have a screen shot showing it in action for context somehow clearlly associated with the element




ps: if I recreate all the artwork myself trying to replicate the existing artwork would I have to worry about issues with ip rights, copyright, tos etc?

All of the "artwork" packages here might be of use to you.

the images used on the gui are packed with the source code?

Yes. A copy is a copy, regardless of the means you use to make the copy.

I see, so even if I use my own artistic skills (supposing I have any) it won't make a difference? ok

are all the graphics under a single license or some are different?

Yes, in the "Artwork" Packages, the links clearly labled on that page as "Artwork".

You can find the images you need, in the package at \linden\indra\newview\skins\default\textures
