Skins, flames, and 'tude

Skins, flames, and 'tude

Criticism or advice?

Something prompted by a recent upload....probably worthy of a general post.....;)

Just a 'gentle reminder'..skinning started long before XP came along.  It has always been a personal process.  Someone who 'could do it' 'would do it'.  Then, they may, or may not subsequently choose to share it with others and upload it.

Because they were 'personal creations' they may suit the author admirably, with or without 'issues' that others may perceive on their own systems.

[Case in point...my WB skins were all designed for Litestep and, to the XP Explorer shell user they are not just 'buggy', they are very incomplete....yet on an LS system they work just fine.]

When suggesting there are errors, etc...and the author remarks 'I don't use IE so it doesn't affect me'...you are left with 2 options.  Either adjust it yourself, or POLITELY suggest it could benefit with/from amendments.

There really are only two rules to remember.

1. The skins are given freely...appreciate that.

and

2. Fellow site members deserve consideration and respect.

Remember...skinning is supposed to be fun.  There IS no room for 'attitude'....

These are all nice sentiments, but we all know it ain't gonna happen. And one of the reasons I won't be sharing any more of MY skins.

I agree with Jafo 99%, the 1% being that there is nothing wrong with dissagreement (cmon u guys know i disagree with u all the time ), but what is wrong is when disagreement turns to bitterness (Ive learned this - Its best to agree to disagree, and not be bitter about it)

So i hope you dont make a mistake i have made BoXXi
