WinCustomize 2K7
What do you want?
Sunday, September 3, 2006 by Frogboy | Discussion: WinCustomize News
We're in the process of re-designing WinCustomize.com for the new 2007 edition.
Here are a few features that will be in it:
- For subscribers: It'll be skinnable.
- Much faster overall (see forums for a taste)
- Much lighter (lot less graphical content in the design)
- Skinners with Master access or higher will be able to optionally sell skins and themes (giving an incentive for classic skinners to keep making new stuff and an incentive for up and coming skinners to release lots of good free stuff to move up -- subscribers will get at least 25% off the price)
- A simpler UI to get to things more easily.
- More galleries
- Featured Skinner section
- Skinner forum
But what are some things you would like to see? What things of the current site do you like and would like preserved? What things about the current site that you don't like would you like changed or removed? What things from other sites would you like to see added?
Let us know! Thanks!

I think searching is all about the GIGO concept. If, for example it's simplistic of an engine to search via 'skin title' only then you really have to ask yourself...."if a person cannot search via title because he does not know it then how much more likely is he to know an extract of a description of that forgotten title?"
The latter, surely is going to be of use/necessity far less than the title would be...

1) black in the windblinds library
2) transparancy in any library
If you don't get it why not try this. I saw a wallpaper that featured a ladybug and the ladybug was in the description but not in the title. Go find it.
Now try that same search at deviant
I could go on all day. I mean, look, lets be real here. You want to charge people a subscription and your search is one of the poorest on the internet? Every other skin site I visit be it deviant, konfab, samurize, etc all have a decent search (more than a single field search). This site is the only one thats so poor that a freshman in a CS course could do better. And this is the site that supposed to support my $65 purchase of software? Yet other free products have support sites that have a decent search? So is that too much to ask that any "upgrades" include a search that took more a teenager to code? Geeze.

I agree.. I don't think anyone has ever made a cell phone wall on WC, well, except for me.

Sorry, you misunderstand. Anyone (even my 8 yr old cousin) can find a skin once they have a title. The point I am making is that it doesn't show up when I:
...
Lo and behold crux is right here at wincustomize and didn't show up in my search. And the words 'right corner' are in the description!
Go ahead, give it a try. Put in corner, right, or right corner in the sysmetrix library. Then put in crux and read the description. To spell it out, the search here doesn't index descriptions or, if it does, I am missing a section in 'advanced search' which only shows me category headings. Now do you see what I mean?
