I have annoyed far too many people by mercilessly asking about this on Juxt, but I will touch the sky and dig to the core and do anything it takes to get Juxt to look like the original Miiverse. I love Juxt don’t get me wrong,
it is amazing, yet the aspect of nostalgia and charm is just not there, I would love for Pretendo devs to possibly add this theme or make it an option. Pretendo Moderators, if you see this post, please help.
I do believe the Miiverse Applet should contain the theme, I have a grasp on programming, could I possibly implement the theme into the framework and allow it to appear on startup?
If anyone, absolutely anyone can help me, please do reply to this topic.
Thank you to anyone who can help.
(I am really only requesting the theme for the Wii U)
pretendo doesn’t wanna use assets that he doesn’t own, so if he does use something from nintendo then he might get sued for copyright, soo you know what the answer is gonna be.
also would it be cool when there’s at least a thousand of them needing the copyrighted og theme that not only risks of pretendo getting sued and potentially get it shut down?
I did consider that. The theme is under patent of intellectual and design property, exactly, yet it does not have to be exact,
Maybe adding some new aspects sure?
Take Rverse, they managed to get away with using the theme due to the fact that the services are discontinued, the platform as well as its corresponding themes are no longer important to Nintendo, a multi-billion dollar company.
Nintendo may be unpredictable, sure, but attacking a server for using the theme of a service that is on patent expiration would legally, be irrational.
You never know with Nintendo I guess, yet it is very, very possible, wouldn’t you think?
From what I’ve got from asking staff (since it’s been a while since we’ve had one of these inquiries), we’re not currently interested in making a classic theme for Juxtaposition.
After all, Juxtaposition is a modern reimagination of Miiverse and we intend to include features that Miiverse never had at some point.
I’m not sure whether this is legally feasible anyways, hoping I can get a more detailed response.
I Understand, Juxtaposition is literally a Juxtaposition to Miiverse, yet having a ye olde look could be quite the benefit to the platform as a whole, even just allowing people to edit a docker for Pretendo (if there is one).
I guess it would be going against what the platform is, sure but It has always been a dream of mine to get that Original feeling back for Miiverse, it just has charm. It certainly would be a bit of a challenge but I guess it is possible.
Legally, the project is possible, It would be best to not take risks, though the patent for the Miiverse UI, and UX as well as all themes have expired. Intellectual Property can not expire though. Rverse made an attempt and I guess succeeded, maybe we can just wait for Rverse3?
I dont think the OG Miiverse CSS is protected legally or anything , neither the JS or HTML
There have been hundreds of Miiverse clones using the original CSS/JS, and guess what, none of them ever got taken down because of copyright, rverse hasnt, either.
I think the reason rverse decided to stop using the Miiverse design, its because they just became unsecure/scared of being taken down when Nintendo took down a Switch emulator, which still brings Nintendo earnings every day, therefore, they did care about it.
I’m pretty sure Nintendo doesnt care about the Miiverse trademark anymore, its been abandoned since 2017.
and its not like a Game theyre still selling ,no matter how old/abandoned it is, It is just a website, in every form, Nintendo doesnt really care about that, but their important IPs and games…
Correct me if im wrong, but Nintendo would never do anything if there theorically was a Juxt theme with Miiverse design language/icons (they cant really copyright the design language, anyways, its mostly CSS gradients and icons)
