Ratings are universal
Wednesday, July 24, 2002 by Istari | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Yes. Ratings all everywhere. They can really suck. So WindowBlinds 3.4 goes up on C-net and they let anyone rate.

At least here it's apprentices and higher. If you think having a low rating on your skin is frustrating imagine how we feel having our software rammed by some random guy whose only response is "sucks".

No. I'm ObectDesktop customer 
But WindowBlinds can skin the toolwindows frames; sometimes does this task in UIS1 mode (as TheGreenreaper commented on a thread on this messageborad, look their skin BlackComb, it works in some apps but crashes sometimes); WinXP skin the toolbars without problems.
I don't say that StyleXP are better. WindowBlinds have more customization options than StyleXP, and WB have more good designed skins.
I don't wish to offend WindowBlinds programmers, their skinners and the vendor Stardock on their website... i only comment the differences between WindowBlinds and STyleXP.
I don't appreciate a Application or a skin reading the comments and rates that posted the users... for experience i know that a good skin can be poor rated, or. a simple and recursive skin are highly appreciated.
Maybe, WIndowBlinds and Winamp are the first popular skinned applications, and the first will be always one step forward than others

ryan8024, i don't said that WindowBlinds sucks, one respect please. My english are veryy poor, i'm making always a big effort to post comments here, but i think that i expressed correctly.
You don't konw wich programs i use. The skinning program i used more times is WindowBlinds (Unregistered and registered, by 16 months ago i use the registered version), and i konw how this programs skin the windows. I used StyleXP 1 month totally, without problems (only defficient uninstall).
Ryan8024, don't comment my attitude with this manner, i don't said: THIS PROGRAM SUCKS, are you who SUCKS the comments? One respect for the others, if yoy wish to listen alternative opinions

I don't get it.
I'm an Australian and whenever I hear anyone from other countries speak (in particular New Zealand. Did you watch the Tri-series Cricket earlier this year Jafo?
) they (almost) always sound like dickheads. Of course, that's probably because I'm used to Aussie accents, but you can't seriously tell me that Kiwi accents sound normal, can you?
(My apologies to anyone here from NZ who might be offended by this post)

Please stop making fun of people, PLEASE. It's improper and disrespectful. Sorry to write this on this thread but PLEASE. Do not lower yourself to the level you accuse other people of. That shows how disrespectful you behave. Having said this, rating is there and it will probably stay. It's said to me and now it's the other way around. People have their opinions and wrightfully so. I find it troublesome when the people who put rates on this site think their masterpiece isnt given a 10.

Lecrayon...I have no idea what you are on about....I think you must have just posted to the wrong thread....
'Making fun of people'...if that is in reference to my comment to Carlitus then you are sadly mistaken...my offer of help with his English was 'real', if he wishes, I could correct his posts when there are obvious, clear errors. [I have been known to help other high-profile skinners in the past, whose first language also was not English].
A genuine offer of assistance is not 'making fun of people'....it's called 'being a friend'.
Ryan...as for NZ accents....they DO sound 'cute', but Kiwis will assert that Orstraylians sound 'wrong' to them....[but I DO like how in NZ, 'sex' comes between 'fuv' and 'sefen']....

it's not skinning the scroll bars, some buttons maybe, and he might be using a non-XP skin and clicking the start menu and realising that it's not fully skinned, same thing goes for the button that hides un used icons in the system tray, and also the thing (don't know what it's called) that took the place of the "web page view" from Win 98, ME and 2k.
none of which are the program's fault (with the exception of the scrollbars, which is because he hasn't registered).
Carlitus: do some research before you say a program sucks
