Reply to The State of Skinning 2006 in OS Customization WinCustomize Forums

Sheesh! That's all I gotta say, took me almost an hour to read all this and all I can say is, why can't we all just learn to get along? There is not one product, one person, or one company that is better than the other out there, and never will be! There are just more talented people, and all talent should be appreciated. This is a skinning community for cryin' out loud! Windowblinds, StyleXP, UXTHEME.DLL patch, who cares! This is not a place to gripe about petty issues like this! <img src

OK, I admit she is 24 as I have now read her bio, but I still disagree with that type of image being shown, it is very sexually suggestive. As she is a model known for her 'schoolgirl looks', I can see why many people also find it offensive. Oh well, back to real life.

Sorry Brad, but I have to agree that the image of that girl is offensive, at least to me. There is absolutely no reason to use children in images that portray them in and indecent manner such as this. That is not an adult, it is no more than a 9-12 year old child to me, and I would need someone to prove to me otherwise.

Thanks Jafo... Just so everyone knows also, I did not enter the competition at all, so I have nothing to gain by commenting other than trying to improve it for next year. At least that is my intent. JafoNovember 2, 2006 09:17:03Reply #55 Surely someone

Zoomba and Frogboy, While I do not agree entirely with your comments, I respect them and the good intent of the GUI Competition in general. I just realy feel that the judges in these type of events should have a thorough working knowledge of SkinStudio, WB5 and an excellent knowledge of judging graphics quality, etc. before they should be considered qualified to be a judge. Or at least someone with these qualifications should go over each submission before they are allowed to be placed

FrogboyNovember 1, 2006 23:30:02Reply #31 LightStar, the judges don't read the comments. and I'm not a judge (unless one of the judges isn't able to vote). I have my opinion tastes and opinions. Why don't the judges read these comments? It would make mor sense if they did. Surely someone who cares reads them?

I normally do not post negative comments, but this definitiely needs to be said. First of all, your categories for any and all submissions in this competition are entirely too vague and need to be more specific as to exactly what is evaluated in each category, and all submissions evaluated accordingly. I also really think someone needs to stop this competition and pick new judges for evaluating WindowBlinds submissions. It is quite evident that the present ones need some refre

Yep, there were 51 entries the other day, but someone finally figured out that the latest entry was nothing more than a slightly modified version of a previous submission. The theme that was removed was titled TRANSGLOSS-ANIMATION, same as the TRANSGLOSS theme by Themerboy but just with animations added.

A very interesting read and after mulling through it all I must agree with Frogboy and take his stance. I also firmly believe that if you work for a company you should not be writing and evaluating about your own product. On the other hand, it is a sad state of affairs when things like this happen, and I for one am for the skinning community in general and say that regardless of whether or not you use Stardock, TGTSoft or any other companies products

Shot! That's too kind! They ought to be drawn and quartered on national television and have their intestines hanging out for availability to the flies and maggots and be slowly eaten alive! Shot! HA! Way too quick! As far as rehabilitating them, that's not even an option. I work in the prison system, there is no such thing as 'rehabilitation', all they do is get out and commit another crime so they can come back in. Why not! After all, they do get free food, clothing, shelter, c
