[quote]"skinner" and "skin" are not defined anywhere in the Guide and presumption can lead to erroneous conclusions. A ScreenShot is not a "skin" as HG defined the terms so succinctly, so I now have an understanding of the term[/quote] I do not beleive anything is written stone around here.... or is it?

[quote] A screen shotter is one who enjoys the benefits of the latter two and assembles them in to various desktop arrangements, then uploads a screen shot of their idea of a cool desktop. While being a Good Screen shotter can be beneficial to the site as it can allow WC/SD to showcase new ways of utilizing the themes. It generally has not been considered being an actual skinner as it is not actually making the stuff from scratch, but rather assembling other skinners skins an a pleasing fashi

Reply to WinCustomize Subscriptions Now Your Portal To Free Stardock Design Skins! in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

I'm just saying that I have been a part of this from the beginning and it's just sad to see it turning into what it's turning into. When this all started never did I think that not only do i have to purchase the softrware (which i do not mind, I enjoy the use i get out of it). The we started charging money for the good quality complete skins. Which, again i do mind paying for. I like to support the artist. But now the price it cost me to keep enjoying this just keeps getting more and more.

Reply to Weekly Poll: Subscription Changes in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Personally I think this cost increase is a way of sticking it to the subscribers so Stardock can make more money. The cost of Stardock creating 12 themes once a year and charging 10 dollars to every subscriber is just a way to for Stardock to make more money and doing what you think to keep us from objecting. [HR] Lets say you have 10,000 (and that is a short estimate with member number hitting well over 3 million) [HR] Thats 100,000 dollars just for the first 10 thousand subscribers.

[quote]Well, now you're getting essentially $60 in free skins every year for your $30 subscription. That should be sufficient value and not require a discount for future years.[/quote] this is only true if you like what is offered. If I don't like it I'm gonna buy it. Now in order to get subscription I have to pay for skins i don't want. This increase is not covering the the cost of the skins people... give me a break. You are doiung this to get more money.

Reply to new IconPackager missing features in Stardock Support General WinCustomize Forums

Sorry guys for not responding, I went to bed anyways. I saw that screen and i just noticed if you click on the icon you can export it. I guess if you dig long enough you eventually find what your looking for. thanks for pointing me in the right direction. But I didn't see where you can select all the icons and export them all. You could do that the old way but it didn't let me select all the icons to export. it's really not that big of a deal but just easier.

Reply to Poll Results: Non-Windows OSes in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

[quote]I don't think this Poll question will surprise anyone. [/quote] [HR] agreed and also i think the poll itself was misleading. The question was what "Do You Ever Use A Non-Windows Operating System?", which should have been a straight yes and no answer, but i understand the need to be a little more in-depth. The choices should have been different because the questions were more like what OS do you use or prefer. I put Windows only because 95% of the time i use windows. because i co

Reply to Windows XP Service Pack 3 Dated in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Well, it's nice to see MS didn't drop XP, but how could they considering the Vista flop. I have been running Vista for a few months and I just happen to like it. Not just the commetics but the usability of it as well. But sad to say I had to revert back to XP because of some incompatabilties that Vista has with RAID. In my adventure to reinstall XP, which of course took all day, but was rather suprised that instead of Windows Update making me install 20 updates before reaching

Reply to Weekly Poll: Widescreen vs Standard Resolutions in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

I use a 24" wide (16:10) at a resolution 1920x1200, and also three 19" standard (5:4) at a resolution 3840x1024. Finding walls for the 24 is no big deal, there are a lot of 1920 res. walls available, but trying to find walls three 19's for the 3840 res. is a pain in the rear. Though I have found a few places to accommodate me though the choices are not always the best.

[quote]Participation in contests are usually pretty low. [/quote] Agreed but regularly scheduled contests in each gallery category would be a way to help get more attention and submission into the lesser galleries. Even though participation would not be what we would all want at first but it would inspire people to contribute more and in time it would increase. But as far as making changes to the gallery itself, is making changes to the site itself. 1.) thumbnails should be larger f

I joined WC in January of 2002, but been using Object Desktop since 2000 (though the disk says 2001, I think its a replacement disk because my account says 2000) (so i guess I am an old one). Anyways... I don't remember how I cam across Stardock, but I was using StyleXP awhile there. I have always found an interest in skinning and wanted to learn to do it on my own, but I ended going in the networking end of the spectrum and never got around to learning how to skin. Though I hope to stil
