[quote]Then don't...its that simple. But this is no different than what others have done. Come on! I've seen this in the forums & galleries..."Please vote for this skin"..."Please vote for that skin." Give the guy a break.[/quote] you.. got my vote [e digicons]5*[/e]
[quote]The Magic Space is an outstanding XP centric icon package that adheres to its theme very well. Highly original. I wish it supported Vista but a must-have for XP users. Originality: 9 Usability: 7 Overall: 8[/quote] [quote]The Magic Space by Sean King is one of my favorite XP-centric themes of the contest. The icons are bold and look good both small and large. There is quite a bit of work to make different file types stand out from
[quote]if i as a skinner want to win this contest then i have to have both cards on my hand: ammount and quality.[/quote] paris hilton has amount & quality. she's sux
[quote who="kitayama" reply="20" id="1969153"]how do i get a holde of the dragon one?[/quote] you should buy windowblinds app & swear you'll not be whiney customer
luna usability is 10 imo edit: it should be 8, windows classic is faster [e digicons]
[quote]If these guidlines were known well in advance (to give them time to plan), it would have changed what the artists skinned. 20 per cent is 20 per cent. Something that important should be apparent from the start.[/quote] agree. they have made fantastic set, im sure they know how to make live folder & they will if its part of the RULE, not forum threads cuz not everyone read threads.
[quote]I swear, sometimes I think some people are just looking for a reason to bitch.[/quote] not true. what im saying is it will be much better to let the artists know all the criteria BEFORE they upload their skins, NOT when the judging process starting

[quote]bet he yells at the tv, when there's nothing on it too....lol[/quote] [quote]Vista has a control panel, somewhere...lol and a lot of file types too...lol[/quote] you lol at me or frogboy? make ur mind!
[quote]I think that even teh "most original" catagory has to be withing the contraints of "can I use this representation of my application to find and open it quickly?"[/quote] then 'most original' = 'most usability' [quote]Do you yell at the TV during American Iold too, 1nsom1ac?[/quote] uh huh
[quote]some of these iconsets are phenomonally original in the screenshot\png's and useless as icons.[/quote] which one are you talking about?
plain truth also got 4, iconstore too. [e digicons]X|[/e]
[quote]You could, you know, actually look at the post and see if you disagree with the ratings in particular rather complain about theoretics.[/quote] how about 'all my life' for example? i cant understand why you gave it 4 for originality. to make it more contrast, you gave plastic fantastic 10 for originality. 10 for usability i agree, but 10 for originality? cmon.., many entry are more original.
[quote]Every judge has their own criteria[/quote] everyone has their own criteria, but rule is rule. i can agree if someone made more icons then he/she get plus point IF their icons are REALLY GOOD, but get penalty cuz they didnt make veeesta folder although they had made fantastic set and beaten by below average stuf which have 1000+ icons? whoah [e digicons]XO[/e] i have nothing else to say
[quote]Bonus points for supporting control panel icons and lots of different file icons. A penalty point for not supporting Windows Vista folders and another penalty point for not supporting live folders.[/quote] penalty.. penalty.. why didnt you say it in the first place, so that everyone knows THAT'S THE RULE. i personally choose quality over quantity. sucks icons are still sucks even if they have 1000+ icons in the package. [e digicons]:thumbsdown
[quote]So from now on, when making free iconpackages, do (12) or less "File Icons" and make them all the same. OK. Got it. Thanks.....This will speed things up in the the future.[/quote] 12 best icons are better than 100 second grade icons. invader icons are best to date. love it.

[quote]They're going to be selling the themes, and the .msstyles are only going to be a piece.[/quote] sony ericson will be free [quote]Why on earth would they let them be converted and posted here for free?[/quote] no one said it will be posted here :)
[quote]If that is really the case then I wonder if they would give permission to say Brad to convert them. Somehow after reading all of these posts here I don't think that is going to happen.[/quote] r u asking permission to change wheels for your car from bmw?
[quote]I don't know where I saw it asked. . and I should probaly ask it to TSF but . . I wonder how hypersesk will work with WB and IP. I understand that SKS5 could probably import the skin (not sure about SKS6) and apply it . . If I wanted to run each seperatly, could I? Can they co-exist on a single desktop? Or . . more clearly, does patching the dll break WB or other SD apps?[/quote] hyperdesk = msstyles, it will take less than 5 minutes to convert it to wb & edit some f
[quote]i think TSF create and have created brilliant skins[/quote] agree [quote]my problem is it has to use uxtheme to patch it.I chose Windowblinds over StyleXP for 2 reasons,it didn't have to patch any system files and offered more content. I also have a considerable investment in Windowblinds and Iconpackager and wouldn't be too happy if Hyperdesk broke somehow my stardock installations,Or interfered with Windowblinds or Iconpackager in any way,due to the patched files.[
