[quote who="2of3" reply="121" id="3482116"] I don't believe that any skin gets a higher rating than 3 stars. Any skin I upload gets automatically 3 stars and it's up to users to rate it up or down. The only exception would be masterskins which if memory serves get an auto 5 stars. [/quote] or how some of us see these as 3 stars being 6 and 5 stars being 10, since the star ratings have half star increments. I can see how I was confused by the DT comments if he's s

[quote]As an example, we deleted over 30 "1" ratings made by one person on competing skins in the same category. [/quote] I'm thinking "skins" here may mean any of the multitude of categories that this site supports. My first thought was windowblinds and the thread seemed to go that way but it just as well could be "dreams" which seems to have multiple uploads per hour. What made me change my direction were the comments regarding helping one another. As far as windowbl

[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="70" id="3480424"] Agree, but, that doesn't give you the right to rate it and critique [/quote] and you say this in what capacity again? I believe that Wincustomize says that I can.

It's just a windowblind. for the most part they all do the same thing, what sets them apart is the graphics. Well, there are some that add animation to them but they are few and not graphically challenged (such as myself). The preview should represent the graphic overview so the casual observer can determine their interest. You don't have to test drive a car you think is ugly to be sure it's ugly, c'mon.

[quote who="WOM" reply="65" id="3480409"] Sorry, but Screenshot rating shouldn't be. How can one be fair if one doesn't download(in this case buy) the skin and test it before its rated? [/quote] Oh that's just poppycock. People download based on the preview. If they don't like the preview, well.... That's like saying you can't tell if a car is good looking or not unless you buy it. As a skinner (just speaking for myself here), why woul

May I add something to the mix, thank you. Lest we forget that those submissions that do not go through moderation are automatically given ratings that could be seen as too high or too low solely depending on the level of the contributor and not necessarily the quality of the work. Ratings, given honestly and coupled with the number of downloads, provides good feedback for the authors. Ratings are being monitored by staff to catch those commit drive-by down ratings.</p

Reply to Start Menu Places List in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

[quote who="Kevin_Walter" reply="16" id="3479514"] [/quote] It would seem to depend on the detail of the graphic and how the paint margins are set. If you compress a 100 pixel high graphic that has high detail down to 10 pixels it would seem you'd lose something. I'm not why you have to adjust the size in the extra settings for the individual graphics, I've never seen an explanation, but it seems that it is needed for the start menu to look the way it is desi

[quote who="Gaspershooters" reply="6" id="3478660"]Then switch to Windows default theme and change color patterns you like.[/quote] I don't think any of the elements mentioned in the OP can be changed in this fashion, but it sure does bring back memories of early windows modifications. Then came along WB and changed the whole game.
