EH: You did insult a few peoples I gather but no harm done. 'peoples'...plural? My Apologies Kona, ...I was not trying to be 'insulting' as such...rather, I was trying to make a certain person see 'reason.'

I suppose I'd feel differently about his uploads if eight months from now that's all he was still doing but for now, what's the big hairy deal if he ports something another author has granted him permission to play with? I don't see him porting YOUR work, or have I missed something? What about what you said about 'uploading one or two'...There

getting a good number of downloads on a "port" I did as a request for a few people is also just as satisfing. How would you know, have you ever made a skin? No, you havent...Porting someone elses work is NOT the same thing as creating your own WB from scratch. [Message Edited]

but in truth it is all in fun as skinning should be. Getting lots of downloads on a skin you 'made with your own hands' is a hundred+ times more satisfying than getting a good number on someone elses skin that you uploaded.

Yes WOM, you are right, screenies dont really matter much... I was talking about ratings in general...Sorry if I didnt make that more clear.

Kona, you upload because you want ppl to download your work (or in your case, others work that you uploaded)...and use it... If you get a low rating...you see that people dont like it...and dont think its worth their time to download. Believe me Kona, its different when you actually MAKE the skin/wall yourself, rather than getting permission to 'rip' anothers work and upload it under your name [Message Ed

does anyone actually care what their ratings are? if you do, why? Yes, I, for one, care what my skins/walls/whatever are rated... A high rating tells me I did something right and that people like what I made. A low rating tells me people think my work was crap... A high rating gives me more downloads because it is visib

I think it may have something to do with your color settings... Im not postive about this, but I dont think that shadows can be displayed unless you are running 32bit color. (Allows for translucency) On my laptop, the color only goes up to 24 bit and the shadows will not appear. Right click the desktop and go to Properties >> Settings >> Color Quality...See if it goes up to "Highest (32bit)"...If it does, it and then go back to the shadow setting and see if it will w
