Reply to WinCustomize SkinCast - Episode 2 in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

I think the show has potential, maybe on mondays you post a question or 2 for the site, and then use that post to help with the show. I like the idea of getting some background on people on the site, WC is a community, and people love to know all the little dirty secrets of their neighbors. Maybe you could look over the current "HOT" posts and see what people are bitching about or excited about. I also love the idea of some "behind the scenes" things at WC and SD. Whats in the works, w

Vad_M, I understand, and i agree with a lot of what you said. But maybe this will help DX pick up a little steam. This is all on my dime, except the coding of the site and Thomas is very graciously donating that, he has put a TON of work into it. We had plans to get this out early last year, but both of us have these things called LIVES and they have been in the way a LOT. I guess my thinking was mainly to have a great location for code snippets for me and anyone else who

Wow guys (and gals) THANKS! this was unexpected. Spence, thanks so much for this, and everyone else its great to have a community like this one. My Belt means more to me than I ever thought it would, being that im no spring chicken, more like fall turkey, and my body and legs have major problems, i never really thought i would make Black belt status. My instructor said something to me when he handed me my belt and it means the world to me... "If ever there was a person wh

Web site Beta Testers needed !! Thomas and Myself have been working on a new community web site devoted to DesktopX, the goal is to have a central location for things like: Tutorials Code Snippits Project News etc. The site is very much still in the BETA stage, but we want to try and get some feedback on what people think we should add, or change. Please use this thread to post comments, problems, suggestions. Thanks!

It was very good, brings back the old days of PUTV and UTS. You both work well together, its in my list to be downloaded, so i look forward to the next one. Not sure why you would want me, but if you think it might be interesting, id be willing to be on the show, not sure what i could bring to it. Keep 'em coming.

Bryan, Your skinning ability will be missed but not nearly as much as your friendship. I know how hard things are for you right now, but hang in there, and know you have a large group of people who care and are here for you. You will me missed more than you know, and will be welcomed back with open arms when and if you decide to come back. I will continue to pray for you and yours, David

[quote]I have seen that people are more interested in the conventional things with some new skins than something very creative. WC administrators needs to work on this.[/quote] I agree and Disagree, Its not the mods that should be responsible for this as we have seen with the people loving all the weather widgets, they are only giving people what they want. I think my original suggestions (about 2 years ago) of splitting DX Galleries into multiple sections could EASILY solve

[quote]In the longer-term, we want to make it so that people can save what we call widget templates. That is, someone makes say a disk space widget template and other peopel can import that template and make a new skin for it. So peopel would effectively be able to make their own skinnable apps using DesktopX.[/quote] This sounds like a great idea. And I will be looking forward to seeing what happens with the plugins, etc.

[quote]only a few other people in the world would find useful (how many successful businesses have been started by making the kind of mini-apps DX produces? That's not sarcasm, I'd really like to know how profitable this market is.).[/quote] The only people i know making any GOOD money off of Gadgets is SD itself. And they only include the standard Weather/Clock/Cal gadgets in their "MY COLORS" Skins. That was/is an amazing post, and its so perfectly true. People see someth

[quote]Why? First of all of these projects will disappear between a thousands of clones. And secondly I see that the overwhelming majority of people here don't wish to study VBScript or Java. They want to use old another's scripts with a several own PNG-files to make a widgets...[/quote] Let me agree 100% with this, and to say that this is the PRIME reason i believe there needs to be a SPLIT in the DX Galleries, and i have posted on this for over 2 years now, to no avail.
