Eventually, users will able to select their own layout & design as well. I'm looking forward to that myself.

Anything specific lovely? "terrible" doesn't help much. 

Or, does "terrible" mean "new and different"?

Can we create our own layout? Like upload a CSS file and images? If so, will there be some docs or info to what the different element's IDs and Class names are?

Dark-Star may have gotten ahead of himself there  That ability is far off in the future and we do not have a date set when that will be available.

It's definitely different. Give it some time, I'm sure in no time you'll be navigating around like you were on the old site. I personally think the new layout is really nice! Hopefully it'll grow on ya!

Give it some time,


I agree, I've been using the test site since it was made available and after a week or two I found that I much prefer the new version.

As in most things, us old people hate change.  I like the look of the new siteand a lot of the features but am still finding my way around and miss some of the things from the old site.  Not sure how to edit the gallery to only list the things I want to see, and a few other things.  But I'll adapt.

I'm old and I liked the old style as well. But we all need change once in a while or our clothes were never get washed and we would stink for not taking baths.I may be a little hard getting used to it but I think that I can change.

I think the new site layout is relly nice but for your concideration:

I always thought wincustomize.com was kind of slow... With this new layout it's even slower.

Becouse my visits to this site usualy are mainly about the windowblinds gallery, I always apreciated the Galery-links being always in the menu... Maybe you can re-integrate that?

thnx for minding...

Hmm. Seems faster for me here, although when I first got here, I thought I clicked the wrong bookmark. I like this. Good job, site designer.

Been using the test pages since they were released to us, but have noticed 1 thing...on my personal skins page, there is no longer a total # of comments at the bottom. At first, I figured it was just because it was a "test" page, but as of this posting, it is still not giving me a total. I always checked that column for new comments! Or...am I just missing another way to view this?

Yes....when you get old and crochetty like me...any change is horrid....

It took only a day or two, however for me using the 'new site' to look back at the old [2K5 it was called] and think "how primitive"....worse still, - "childish/cartoonish".

Now, that is not a slight on the qualities of the old, but more a testament to the quality of the New.

Sure, it has bugs, one or two features missing/hard to find, but with the way the 'backroom boys' work any such will be sorted sooner rather than later...and anything that's actually down to user unfamiliarity will solve itself over time...

Jafo gives it "two thumbs up" [even IF '/me' doesn't work] ....

Other than re-learning where things are located, the new site is waaaaaaaay better. I will gladly learn where things are again because it is worth it. Good job on the layout.
