My WP got rejected

Friday, March 31, 2006 by Rocher776 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

I just had my wallpaper rejected, saying something about not meeting the guidelines. And I'm not sure why... I would like to upload it, and it didn't break anything. It works, made completely by me, no images taken from other sources, no nudity or pornagraphy, and no advertisement within the wallpaper, just a little text message that you don't even have to extract out.

There it is on megaupload.com. Please download it and see if it breaks the guidelines and tell me which. I wanna get it up on Wincustomize

Guidlines here: https://www.wincustomize.com/Guidelines.aspx

Typically, only the wallapaper section is moderated for quality, but it is difficult to be specific about the moderation process. Lets just say that a lot of submissions don't make it in.



Our guidelines for judging wallpapers on aesthetic grounds are difficult to be specific about. The prime directive for wallpapers is that they must WORK as a wallpaper, in other words the design should be an effective desktop background, which includes: The background is not too busy and icons are easy to see against it, Colors are not too bright to be distracting, and colors work well together. There are many subjective design related preferences we all have and some objective qualifications as well, such as the quality of the rendering and the resolution size offered. And then there is the composition, the subject matter, the overall balance of the design, etc.


Try again. Then try some more. Then again.
Posting about a WP rejection doesn't help.

Simple gradient blue swirly type thing with words across the middle? - three of the main reasons for not accepting a wallpaper.

I don't know what that link is but it doesn't go anywhere

And by the way, that megaupload site is really irritating. Try using another site.

what's all the whining I keep seeing about a wall being rejected?

I've never had one pass. I've never whined about it.

Don't like that megaupload site thing either. Way too much irritation for a zipped blue blurry wall that could have been posted on photbucket for free.

I don't know that walls have to be good per say as alot of work in the gallery is quite blurry and jpeg'd i think you'll find that wincustomize has a certain style to their gallery to differentuate it from the multitude of others.Alot of rejections seem to be more about keeping a certain feel/style to the wallpaper gallery.

obviously you didn't put in a graphics program, resize to 37.2% of original, flip horizontally, invert colors & squint.

This is odd, I don't think in the 5 years of WinCustomize that anyone has ever had an issue with a wallpaper being rejected..
