You may click on the link, but please do not click on the

The colors are still adjustable even though the Windows kind of
suck. Gradient title bars would be nice.

You expect anyone to visit a non-described link? Yes, it's probably an
image but why would anyone bother to visit Flickr to see it? You don't
make any statement about it. You don't ask a question.

I'm guessing his earlier post tells the story, though
I don't understand it. Flickr is also probably the
worst of all image hosts. It used to be broken without
script enabled. Now it also requires cookies. Just
to show a picture! I wish people would take the time
to figure out how to get their own web space.

Maybe buy a domain and start a website?
Why not? It's public space. Everyone has a right
to have their own front door to the "information
superhighway". Something useful could be put
there. It's cheap and easy. In the 90s nearly
everyone had an option to have a website hosted
by their ISP. Many people did. Today it seems
that young people, especially, think of the
Web as a commercial entertainment venue.
As with so many cities in the US, the town
square has been supplanted by a mall.

If people must host images on commercial
sites they could at least use sites that allow
others to access the image without restrictions,
cookies, script, membership, etc. Three I know
of that work fine are dropboxusercontent links,
imgur.com and postimg.org.

Prior post? Ah, after changing my view (to show All Messages), I see
why I missed his prior post of:

09/23/16 OT: Resource Hacker, different star color, cannot view
contents?
^^
\__ means "off-topic"

He announced it was off-topic of this newsgroup (the "OT" prefix). I
don't bother reading or even seeing deliberately off-topic posts. Those
get flagged by my rules as Ignored and my default view is to hide
ignored-flagged threads.

Not sure his post was off-topic to this newsgroup if it was about him
using the software under Windows 10; however, does seems a topic more
appropriate to a newsgroup about programming. I searched for some
tutorials on ResHack but they all sucked. The author doesn't explain
his GUI, either.

Don't know what he thought his Flickr link would show. When I clicked
on it just before submitting this reply, Flickr presented a page with 16
photos of which none were for the Resource Hacker program. The
collection of pics that I saw we Win10 File Manager (with a very bad
color theme), 10 pics of bicycle parts or make-shift tools, Lauren
Holly, what looks like a [broken] battery-powered weed whacker, an
oddball single roller skate, and a tennis game shot between the legs.
Only his photo stream has any pics. Albums, Favorites, and Groups were
empty. Yeah, Flickr sucks if Doe thought his link showed ResHack.

Mouthguard is confused. My post about Resource Hacker did not
include a link to Flickr nor was any picture about Resource
Hacker posted there.

One might think this is what happens when follow-ups delve into
off-topic garbage, but in fact it is par for the course...

Mouthguard is confused as usual. The name of this group is
"Windows 10". The subject of my post is "Colors". Therefore,
any moron should be able to figure out what my post is
about...

Windows 10 Colors

Now... Given the fact my link begins with
(flickr.com/photos), he could have tried locating his other
brain cell, rubbing them together, and come to the conclusion
that it is a link to a picture.

Might it be a link to a picture about Windows 10 colors?!
Yes! Or he could have read the extremely short post first,
being about "colors...windows...gradient title bars".

And then Mouthguard complains about me labeling the Resource
Hacker post as off-topic because it messed up his filtering!

WELL EXCUSE ME!

This rule would in practice restrict posting any photo with one or
more strangers in the background! Or maybe only in Germany?

"Rule 2. People shown
According to German law, every person shown on the picture must agree
the publication of this picture (§ 22 Satz 1 Kunsturheberrechtsgesetz
(KUG/KunstUrhG)). This means, if people shown on the picture don't
agree to the publication, you don't have the right to publish this
picture."
