Thanks a lot for entering this discussion ? My proposal for a $0.10 cut for stardock was only a guess. I have no knowledge about stardock or what requirements would be needed to even think about implementing something like this. If Stardock needed a larger transaction fee to make such a proposal viable, then that could be worked in. From what you say, a cut of $0.50 per transaction would be necessary. That’s still pocket change, even if you were co

um Wincustomize is already comercialized, you're supposed to sign up to be a susscriber, and buy all the stardock products, and they already sell skins for money, the only difference is that they charge like $15 per skin, and no one else can sell them. And as i said before, with this system, people could still releace their skins for free if they wanted to, it would be their choice... And at 1 cent per download, people aren't going to

so people have to find out your bank details, pay you, wait for confirmation, download the skin ? and then repeat that everytime they want to download something... thats why shareware's lame, even if its worth it.

Skinner RomanDA > Essentially what we do is make great content for Stardocks products, for free, which encourage people to buy stuff from stardodck. If a method like this was implemented, then both parties would benifit, Stardock from the increased subscriction activity, and the Artists (us) from being rewarded for our work!

hey guys, no hate messages, *is relieved*. Seems such a small payout for such a big headache in coding the thing up. Well if it was implemented, it certainly would be worth it for Wincustomize to code it, i mean look at how they'd benifit from increased subscribers. I was also thinking that WinC. co

Commercializing Skinning I’ve been thinking about this for a few days now, and I thought I’d share my thoughts with you. You can already see that Wincustomize sells commercial skins for $15US or whatever. How about thinking of a system where ordinary skinners can earn a token amount for their wo

Reply to The concept of ratings in OS Customization WinCustomize Forums

To those that replied to me, i was commenting on the 10 star system, as that is how it is still set up in the 'my skins' page. I have come to the conclusion that rating is 'overrated' and not worth the hassel. People should just rely on # of downloads, its fairer and not prone to abuse...

Reply to The concept of ratings in OS Customization WinCustomize Forums

I never pay attention to the rates, except for my own skins. I always sort by most downloads. A lot of people don't, or can't vote, yet by checking download count, you can usually find popular and professional skins... Another thing is i think the rating systme isn't really good, i mean some of the skins that i made when i first started (i.e my "game icons" pack) are rated the same, as my "Game Pack 3 (Dasent)" icons. My firs

Ah right i see whatyou mean now. I've managed to get a preview on my 'ripped' skin ------------------------------------------------------------------- Now, in reference to the second question in my post, I've had this really great idea for a dock, and i've gone ahead and made the graphics for it, however there is one problem: I've got no

Reply to Newb making skins has questions in Docks WinCustomize Forums

heh possibly me as well. so 1) the top background is used as the preview, but whats the difference between the normal state and the background state ? They're the same thing aren't they ? It seemed to me like there were two parts to a skin, the Background, and the selection. The background (the tab and the tile) just 'scrolls down' to present the dock. therefore how does the normal state and background state differ ?

Okay, i've just begin designing a few docks, and so far i've been able to 'rip' off other people dimensions to make skins. haver i do have a few questions. 1) How do i get a preview image of the dock to show up in the skin select window ? i've made 5 docks, and they're all previewless ! 2) Could someone post an exclamation next to each of the dimension entries to give us newbs an idea of what they do ?? i'll start, correct me
