WinStyles risks ?
Thursday, June 13, 2002 by c242 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
lately I see people throw together old skin-suites to WinStyles - themes. First of all I thought : "Hey that's nice, having all the skins together under one roof." (Winstyles). But then I thought that creators of such themes really should take care of software version compatibilities. Some skins are quite old (and some are in the process of being updated). For example there could be some issues with old Desktop X plugins and newbies will blame the software for that, not an old plugin or skin/theme, that doesn't work anymore. Just my opinion.

Hmm, that's why I wanted to have some other opinions on this. But I still see a high risk espacially with DX. As I see it, 80 % of problems with it are caused by incompatible/old plugins.

And I see no "danger" with themes compiled by the author himself.

Maybe you are right, I never have use DX and I don't know about the problems you mention with the plugins.

So no problem at all. 
That's good. I didn't want to attack anyone, just make people sensible about this matter. And english is not my native language, I always fear to sound offending by using the wrong words.

I think that the authors are testing the Winstyles with the latest software, before upload them.
