So after doing that other note not too long ago. A thought came to mind...
The fact that these companies decide to restrict people from creating or editing their GUI is because of copyright issues? Or maybe it's the loss of money because once the interface is changed, the ownership is changed as well? Similar to how one would unlock their brand of cellphone, or iPod. They have this to keep their customers in contact maybe?
One thing I know for sure though, is that once the iPod or cellphone is unlocked the warranty is no longer in use.
Okay, I'm getting some random thoughts going here but ummm...
Wouldn't changing the GUI be like appropiation? Taking the layout or outline of the GUI and just changing the visual base of it.
Also, through the process of the GUI change, resource hacking programs are used to do such a thing. They use binary codings in order to create a compact way to store the appearance of the interface. So like hacktivism, it's motivated by political or ideological reasons. People believe in freedom in the use of their GUI?...
Ahh random thoughts...not even sure if they make sense.
