IconPackager Finalists...

Friday, June 11, 2004 by Frogboy | Discussion: GUI Championships News

The judges are still working on both the best overall WindowBlinds and best overall icon packages. It's so close and difficult to decide. But they are ready to let you know which of the icon packages are in the finalists. Stay tuned for the finalists for the WindowBlinds skins later today or early tomorrow. Final results will either show up tihs weekend or on Monday.

It's gotta be a hard choice, but my 3 favourites are mentioned. To explain my choice of colors for CS, I'd say I'm in a design/layout period where I don't like it very colorful, I wanna keep it subtle and easy on the eyes sticking with a few colors. Another great thing is it goes well with a lot of other skins that aren't that colorful.

I like seed a lot, I think it deserves to be a finalist, you don't see icons that look like seed's everyday.

Thunderstorm is really good. It did win, I believe, the best themed icons.

I can't define the creterium what make a good IP! That's more than my english can do! But I think Seed is simple and bouring and it number of icons are low compared to many of the other IP! But that's just my oppinion!

Seed isn't boring, it's simplistic. Which makes it stand out amongst the other finalist.

BTW, I should clarify something, Thunderstorm IS one of the finalists. The error was on my part, not the judges. Just was a long day and sometimes it's easy to look at a list and miss one. That and everyone knows my secret hatred of all things from Brazil.

I didn't want to take part in the discussion because I didn't agree with the last judgments. But when I Knew that the Tunderstorm was added to the list I coulden't be silent.I think fuss maybe effective. I was thought that U exit the winners from the list and let the other to win some medal.But I see that I'm absent only.I need reconsider. I like the tunderstorm very much and I will be glad that It gain the gold medal.But I think that My HFN Sapphire Isn't worse than all other In the list.

I think U shouldn't create a finalist section.This Is bad to me that I know I'm not in the finalists.U could do it like the past and write the winners name. I write this comment to say that I choose the treetog's PirateOs for the first one.It is better than the tunderstorm,because It has the nice color and more details. LOL

Personally i think showing the finalists helps because it shows that who ever doesnt make it into the last three at least have the chance to say, "hey wait a minute, at least the judges did concider mine as a possible winner." Instead of at the end when everyone differs their opinons "well why did so and so win, this person should have won!" you can say, well actually if you compare them to the finalists you can see why the judges made those choices.

Dear Frogboy, If U want to choose the finalists with the users votes U can't judge with these 32 votes. these Votes can't be a good index for a Exact judgment. I think the number of downloads for Each Ip is the Only proper way to judge them based on the users Opinion. I see the download number for some Ips : Skin Name downloads Votes - 1.Tunderstorm 17851 2 2.last Order 16048 13 3.d3A 14006 7 4.PiratOS 13026 11 5.Daemetcom 11446 8 6.HFN Sapphire 9456 2 7.Smile3.))) 8585 5 8.FlooterIP 7062 4 9.AlloyBezel 5924 4 10.megaton 5672 4 11.Seed 5333 1 12.Layout_Ip 3086 2 U Can See that The votes number Isn't a good index of Users Opinion And favorites. LOL I think I am in Finalists list according to people's Opinion.I'm Glad. LOL LOL LOL I ask Lord Frogboy to answer about It, Please.
