Exhumed

Let's analyze this concretely, since you believe you are right and I am wrong. Therefore, I asked Grok AI to compare both statements and determine who was right. Surprise. I already knew that, but since you insisted, here you go. What Exhumed says (correct): Copyright arises automatically upon creation (or fixation in a perceptible form) of the work — without registration, without formalities. This applies in all countries that have joined the Berne Convention (almost all, including the USA, Canada, EU, etc.). The term of protection is, in most relevant countries (USA, EU, Canada, etc.), the life of the author + 70 years. For anonymous works, pseudonymous works, or “works made for hire,” it is often 95 years from publication or 120 years from creation (whichever expires first). The phrasing “maximum of 70 years” is a bit imprecise/abbreviated, but the core point (automatic + long duration) is correct. This applies to oil paintings, embroideries, digital designs, etc., as long as they are original and fixed. What the reply below says (mostly wrong or misleading): One would have to “copyright it,” spend money, or send a copy to oneself by registered mail (“poor man’s copyright”). This is a myth. The registered-mail method has no legal effect and is not a substitute for registration. Registration is optional and provides advantages in some countries (e.g., USA) for lawsuits and damages, but it is not a prerequisite for the protection to arise. The reference to “open source” and the Canadian exception does not change the automatic protection of the original work. The Canadian section (Section 29.21 of the Copyright Act) is correctly quoted: There is indeed a specific exception for non-commercial user-generated content. An individual may, under certain conditions, use an existing work that has been made available to the public to create a new work and authorize an intermediary to disseminate it, provided that: it is used solely for non-commercial purposes, the source/author is identified where reasonable, the person had reasonable grounds to believe the original work was not infringing copyright, the new work does not have a substantial adverse effect on the original work’s exploitation or potential market and is not a substitute for it. This is a real Canadian special rule (since 2012) that strengthens fair-use-like user rights for UGC. However, it does not override the automatic copyright protection of the original work and does not permit unrestricted commercial use or circumvention. Conclusion: Exhumed is correct on the core point (automatic protection, long duration). The reply below mixes myths about “copyright registration” with a real Canadian exception and is inaccurate on the point it addresses. Depending on the context (platform, country, whether the files are actually under an open-source license), practical enforceability can still be difficult — but that does not change the legal foundation. Off-topic discussion is now over. Please return to the actual thread topic: Share your sensor panels.

Copyright protection arises automatically upon creation of the work. This copyright lasts for a maximum of 70 years. This is inherent to the nature of the work, whether it be an oil painting, an embroidery, or a digital design.

Looks good. You used the empty space and added some fitting sensors.

This "Half-Life 2" panel is in his shop available, where it can be purchased. The Half-Life 2 skin is from: Valve + Microsoft and created by Skinsfactory. Modifying the skin using AI and then offering it as one's own creation simply isn't allowed. I don't know if he's unaware of this or just ignoring it. I just wanted to point it out.

Wrong thread! This forum thread is called "Share your Sensorpanels", not: give me money and i do the job and change the resolution. There is a specific sub-forum for stuff like this, if you want to sell your sensorpanels. Use at least the PM function in this forum.

@COSTAJUNIOR The official Half-Life 2 skin for Windows Media Player was created by the design agency "The Skins Factory", commissioned by Valve and Microsoft. https://www.theskinsfactory.com/wmpdesign2 If I were you, I would remove the AI-generated content so you don't get into trouble. Strictly for personal use: As long as the finished AIDA64 sensor panel runs only on your own PC, you are permitted to mirror, upscale, modify, or have an AI expand the design. This falls under the legal provisions for private copies. Sale or monetization is prohibited. Even uploading the modified template for free to forums (e.g., the official AIDA64 forum) constitutes a copyright violation. AIDA64’s forum rules strictly prohibit the unauthorized copying and modification of others' work. AI-generated or AI-modified images do not create new, independent copyright protection. The rights to the underlying *Half-Life 2* style remain entirely with Valve.

Implementing this properly would require a significant investment of time from the admins and mods involved. A set of rules would need to be drawn up, and so on.

Hello BHSY I had a similar experience back then. This is also one of the reasons why I deleted most of my panels (some panels are still free)—which were free at the time—and why they are now available for purchase exclusively as paid panels. You think to yourself, "Hey, I'll share my sensor panel creation with the community"—and then someone from "China" (my experience in my case with my panels) comes along. Unfortunately, it is usually these types of users who steal other people's creations to make a profit: they download the work, change it without permission and upload it to a sales platform—such as AliExpress or similar sites. These users couldn't care less; and sadly, you can't hold them legally liable—or rather, doing so is simply too arduous, with very little prospect of success. That’s just the way it is. When did you submit a request to the mods regarding this? I am not sure whether or not I saw this report in the ModPanel. Such deletion requests should be structured as clearly as possible so that the mods know what the issue is and can act accordingly. If it does not—or did not—state exactly what the matter concerns, confusion may arise regarding the precise intent. The more information we have, the easier it is to understand what the issue was. If you and other creators notice such unauthorized changes in the forum, please let us know, and we—as mods—will take action to the best of our ability. Exchanging panels with the community is great—after all, that is what the forum thrives on. However, one should also be fully aware that if something is posted on the internet, it will eventually be stolen and used or commercialized elsewhere. Not every user has noble intentions. There is even a shadow forum ...where a former user (xmanrigger) of this forum was banned multiple times due to rule-breaking behavior and did nothing but troll at the end and created more troll accounts. He then started a thread in a sub-forum to boost his ego, uploading—for free—a panel that he had stolen from CostaJunior and modified. Some people simply cannot accept the rules and, sooner or later, end up getting permanently banned here.

Red background + dark blue text = not a good choice imo. Custom loading bars. There are various techniques. Depends on your graphic skill and software you use. https://www.canva.com/ Go to canva.com and create a new design (e.g., Custom Size 800x200 px). Search for "Progress Bar" or "Loading Bar" and select a template. Delete the pre-made bar and do the following: Draw a long, thin rectangle to serve as the background (gray). Draw 15 equally sized rectangles or circles next to it (leaving some space between them). Group them together. Duplicate the group several times to create different fill levels (0 to 15 filled). Colors: Empty = light gray; Filled = e.g., blue or green. https://inkscape.org/de/ Create a new document. Draw a long rectangle as a background strip. Using the Rectangle Tool, create 15 segments of equal width: Draw a rectangle → Press Ctrl + D to duplicate → Use the arrow keys to position them side by side. Select all 15 → Arrange → Align and Distribute → Distribute evenly. 4. Create a second row (or duplicate the same objects) for the filled version. 5. For different fill levels, simply duplicate the groups and the corresponding number of segments. Total beginner → Canva Want vector-based and scalable? → Inkscape Need many versions / animation? → Adobe After Effects

I created these graphics. If you're interested, here are more different graphics for creating new sensor panels. https://www.deviantart.com/3xhumed/art/Element-Package-v1-1-by-Exhumed-862641961

You need a monospaced (fixed-width) sans-serif font. That's why the digit always jumps around when the first/last digit jumps. For the simplest fix with no jumping at all: just pick any good monospaced font like JetBrains Mono or Fira Code — install it and set it up as font in the sensorpanel.

Exchanging sensor panels doesn't necessarily mean sharing the sensor panel file with others. Sometimes someone just wants to show off their panel, and that's perfectly fine. Additionally, anyone who shows several designs here (jpg, png) will quickly reach the maximum file size allowed for uploads in the forum. Some people then delete older files to upload newer ones, and this can sometimes cause sensor panels and or screenshots to disappear. And according to the rules, this is allowed. Editing sensor panels is time-consuming. Sometimes seemingly simple requests for changes can escalate into unexpectedly large amounts of work. You might turn to someone who does it for free because they enjoy it and are happy to help. Others, however, would like to be paid for their time, which is understandable. To what extent the pricing is appropriate, such as $5 for editing a load indicator, is something everyone has to decide for themselves, whether it's worth it or whether they shouldn't try it themselves. No one is forced to accept such services. Should someone engage in unethical practices, you are free to report this user to one of the moderators or forum admins if it smells like a "rip-off" or if there are any other problems. Help is available here upon request, usually always. Some of us have also posted short guides in the forum to make it easier for beginners to edit their sensor panels themselves. --- When I joined the community here, I offered all my sensor panels for free, until one day one or more users started downloading my panels to offer them for sale on a Chinese website. Incidentally, this website still exists, where freely published panels are regularly offered for sale. That's when I realized my sharing mentality was hitting reality on the internet these days – everything gets stolen, nothing is rewarded, hardly anyone says thank you. Download and that's it. Many users don't even manage to click the like button. This would increase the visibility of the free panel, and on top of that, it's a form of appreciation for the work and time the person put in. So, you either accept the theft or take a different approach. And from then on, some, like me, offered their panels for sale and, to protect their intellectual property, continued to add a copyright watermark to preview images. I don't modify other creators' sensor panels, and I haven't had any requests to do so yet. I work on my own content and modify these panels upon request, e.g., to different resolutions or other things. Exactly. The topic of passing off the sensor panel as one's own and/or using other people's content without asking and then trying to sell it. This has all been discussed here before, yes. If we notice such behavior or it is reported to us, the user in question will be warned and/or permanently banned.

It is the sensor panel supplied with Aida64 that comes with the installation of the software.

RGB B0T | Aida64 - Sensor Panel by Exhumed | 2560x1440px (horizontal) Cyberpunk 2077 | Aida64 - Sensor Panel by Exhumed | 2560x1440px (horizontal) Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty | Aida64 - Sensor Panel by Exhumed | 2560x1440px (horizontal) A customer wanted to buy three sensor panels with a resolution of 2560x1440px. The design of the Cyberpunk panels seems to be well received, as many people want to buy these panels. I recreated some new things to fit the higher resolution. I added a color-matching drop shadow to many objects to make the graphics stand out more from the background. And added a custom MSI (and Corsair) logo by hand as a vector to preserve the outline style so that it visually matches the sensor panel. Resolution: 2560x1440px (horizontal) Art style: vector Theme: Retro, Cyberpunk Colors: cyan, purple, yellow Font: Mass Effect and others Gauge: 15 steps Image Format: PNG with transparency Background: 2 bg images, RGB B0t has 3 different bg styles (without robot face, with robot face and noice effect). Contact me if you are interested in buying one of these panels.

Cyberpunk 2077 | Aida64 - Sensor Panel by Exhumed | 1024x600px (horizontal) Another size of this panel. The whole frame is transparent. Two background images are included but you can also add new ones. I changed the layout and arangement a little bit, removed the download info, added a master volume bar and i added a glowing shadow for the yellow frame and the cyan diagonal lines. CPU and GPU have a red temp indicator (image) and are displayed as soon as the temperature reaches the preset value. Resolution: 1024x600px (horizontal) Art style: vector Theme: Cyberpunk Colors: cyan, yellow Font: Blender Gauge: no Image Format: PNG with transparency Background: 2x background images (black, purple) Contact me if you are interested in buying this panel.
