Thanks guys!
Wednesday, March 9, 2011 by RedneckDude | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I just want to say thanks and that I love the new changes in the galleries and on the front page!!
I like the new rating thing, only I got confused and rated twice...lol. I thought it was supposed to stay "lit", always showing me that I had rated the skins and by how much.
I can be thick, at times....anyway, I love it! And the new double row of recent skins on the front page is awesome, just lacks a DX category.....
.
Good job coders and programmers!!!

ONE QUESTION THOUGH: I notice that the windowblinds presented are not the last five windowblinds submitted, why is that???
The newly added are the most popular for the past 30 days for those skin types.
well that is fucking bullshit and essentially unfair to all those blinds that don't make the top five, don't cha think.
new submissions don't last very long in the "new" catagory. when I first saw the change I was thrilled now not so. for the majority of us the change is not a change, SNAFU.

"well that is fucking bullshit and essentially unfair to all those blinds that don't make the top five, don't cha think."
Gee...tell us what you REALLY think, why don't you....![]()
If there were 10 it'd be essentially unfair to all those blinds that don't make top ten....
If there were a hundred it'd be essentially unfair to all those blinds that don't make the top hundred....
If they are the currently noted top five most POPULAR well... so be it.
The actual/real POPULARITY of those are a magnet to induce interest in the WHOLE gallery.
Arguably, at any given time the top five MOST RECENT could all be uninterestingly 'bland' and everyone loses out through ennui....![]()

Jafo,, I'm disappointed. I don't usually use harsh language unless the frustration creeps in like a freight train crushing that bland VW on the tracks.
And your analogy doesn't address new vs. popular, it's still all about popular. It's disappointing to post a skin only to have it bumped off of the new when someone posts their objectdock/rainmeter/wallpaper/desckscape set. Foolish me, I thought that the change would benefit all of us by giving a little longer exposure in the individual categories.
Kind of sorry for the rant but it did feel good and Jafo, you've broken my heart yet again. ![]()

Well...at least I'm consistent...![]()
I didn't have a hand in the change/s, but unlike a few I don't see a lot of mileage in when not liking the movie at the Drive-in....slashing the seats in revenge...![]()
Over the years [10 of them] there's been oodles of changes to Wincustomize.com ..... most of them are good, even .
Some may require tweaking.... some work out of the box.
Not ALL change is bad....![]()

The top area shows the five latest skins submitted to the site, the most popular skins over the last 30 days and the last five skins recently updated. The next area shows the top five skins in each chosen category over the last 30 days. What could be fairer than that? I lilke it. ![]()

I have to agree with you, LightStar

Tom, we're not all as talented as you are, and I do mean that with all sincerity. I think Jafo referred to the rest of us that are not so talented as bland skinners. being a bland skinner, sometimes one needs to shake the table a bit hoping that some additional scraps fall our way.
It looks nice and I understand the marketing approach to the change however, being that my blinds will probably never show up there, I'm disappointed.

Hey gmc2, it is not really a change, it is the return of a feature the past site layout had, it has just been done in a different manner than the way it use to be.

The simple fact is you will never have a system that pleases everyone. The new skin feature is just an addition showing popular skins, but we also have the daily featured skin which are individually picked.

Seems we have yet another upgrade to the awesome WC site!!! Yall keep sneaking these in on us! Thanks for the awesomeness!!!
I thought it was IE9, but FF does it too!!

Geez, it would be nice to have the broken things fixed also. My filter settings have not worked for over two months and the "yesterdays" and "alltime" most popular are still backwards! The new changes are nice but getting things that are supposed to work fixed would certainly be more appreciated by moi.

Much better, but the tab ' cursorFX ' is not rather visible...

Jafo you wrote "ALL of the SKIN Galleries/Tabs have their associated screenshots."
Please provide a screenshot of the Wincustomize homepage that shows a tab for the Screenshot Gallery. I do not see it.

winstar4 ... the screenshot gallery is not a site content [skin] gallery.
Wincustomize.com is a site for SKINS [and wallpapers, icons, etc.] and each Skin gallery is for usable, downloadable content....![]()
