Sorry, but I don't get what this rat-thing is all about except spamming the forums and comments all over (and even with giant letters and 'fancy' blinking animated gifs I thought we where finally getting over on the net). Cant' read anything here without that rat thing envolved anymore...

One thread for all rat pack activities might be more palatable. My I suggest that along with a off-site page?

'Input' ....

Actually...the dark glasses are needed for all the gifs, et al.
Jafo remembers the phrase 'black is Architectural'....that was back in the days when psychedelia was all the rage.....
....the first time....

The " Rat Pack " is a large number ( and growing ) of Screenshot Artist on this
Site who get together to chat , celebrate their work and have some " FUN " and to
help test new works by other skinners as needed - helping in their small way to make
WinCustomize one of the Best Websites on the Net ..

Sorry, but I have a different opinion. What is a 'Screenshot Artist' ? I see some people doing 6 or more screenshots of their machines in a short period and ask myself : Do they actually USE any of the setups they show ? Answer for me is often 'No', so why even do a screenie of something one isn't going to use at all ? One answer (I will of course discuss about): 'Attention'. And to promote skins or themes there are already screenshots with the skins and the features by the site and it's mods.
And WC is one of the best websites on the net already, going back to the nineties with big animated gifs and huge letter posts will not make it any better.

Also they get a download count for the SS just like skinners get.

Ok,so bear with me here I'm not much of a forum poster,and certainly no expert on graphics etc. but screenshots....aren't they just screen captures of other peoples work?Surely all they show is that the user is capable of configuring the software used to load the relevant skins and is able to arrange them on his/her desktop in an aesthetically pleasing way..
Yes I uploaded my desktop screenshot to the May comp. but only the one,as it is the one I use daily,so I'm with c242 on this.I mean,If I went to London tomorrow and took a good photograph of the Houses of Parliament or St.Pauls Cathedral does that make me partially responsible for their magnificence ?
Just my opinion.

Essentially that's it in a nutshell.
Once upon a time, when skinning was in its infancy it was a case of the majority of skin-site forum posters were actual skinners rather than users only, so the 'screenshot' gallery was a place where WIPs were displayed...for input/critique/mouth-wetters.
These days they [screenshots] have generated a life of their own.
Some may scratch their heads and wonder why.....others just enjoy creating them.
Each to his own...

This Thread was made to Honor Cindy for the fine work
she did the past week , check it out and pay close attention
to the Dock work - let her receive her just due and pat on the
back - is that to much to ask ?
