Opera/Firefox/IE Who uses what in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I've been using Firefox for a few months and have been very happy with UI. I just got Opera and its very fast. lots of little things to adjust for my liking, I like that. You can customize just about everything. MS need to remember that everybody doesnt want the exact same thing as everyone else. NE1 else using Opera or Firefox? Any tips?

Reply to NE1 looked into skinning firefox or thunderbird? (mozilla) in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I use Norton internet security and have been very happy with the results. When I started using it, the browser I used was IE. I now use firefox mostly because I cant live without mouse gestures. Security is still behind my norton firewall. Another reason for Norton Internet security is because of my wireless network here at home.

Actually ToeJo, If a person is willing to rate a skin with more than a "I just dont like it" attitude, I would be willing to accept the rating if it is accompanied by an intellegent comment as to why a person rates a skin low. I like the ideas of Essencay in the thread here https://www.wincustomize.com/msgboard.asp?BID=WC&id=281010#281673 where he discusses some reasonable criteria for rating skins. I guess the reason I said that only skinners should rate is because they are more qua

I hear that Pictoratus. I havent been doing this that long and already I look at cars, lights, leafs and almost everything in view and think about seeing it in a skin and what the buttons should look like. My wife actually thought I had an online girlfriend!!! I tried showing her the skins I have been making and I still dont think she believes me. Gee, maybe I should get me one!!!! <img

That sounds reasonable Jafo. It would seem that the required 4 or 5 member level is in place for the same reason but that doesn’t stop anyone from buying a few programs and then being able to vote. Heck, that’s basically how I became able to rate others. Another way would be to only allow ratings from those who have created a few skins. At least then the rating would be backed up by hands on

Essencay: Yep thats the thread. https://www.wincustomize.com/msgboard.asp?BID=WC&id=281010#281673 I believe that is a fair rating process. Of course thats a baseline rating system and can be altered for preference. But still it gives us an Idea of about what our skins might rate, give or take a level. As for removing a rating, I would hate to do that if the person rating low has a valid reason for it. The skin I got thumped on went from an 8 to a 6. Ouch!!! If I could fi

I read the thread that explains the rating system and it does make sense. If fact you can almost know what rating you should have based on the explanations. But I dont believe the ratings we are getting are based on that explanation. I'll try skinartistry, it sound like a good place to get real critiques. Thanx NT2002

I agree. I have left ratings for some skins but I always make comments as to what I percieve can be improved on. I may be wrong in my assessment but at least it is a justification for my rating in my mind. I would like to see the rating button be dependent on the comments button. ie... a rating cannot be left without a comment.

I'm not sure what is worse, a lower rating without a comment as to why the low rating, or no ratings at all. I have had both. An updated skin went from an 8 to a 6 with no comments as to what the problem was or how I might improve. Another skin I recently uploaded has over 2300 downloads and only one rating. I assume thats the rating the moderators put on it. Both situations are not very helpful in trying to improve my work. Is this a problem for anyone else?
