Graphics section
Friday, September 20, 2002 by treetog | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Well guys, I just rejected some skins that some authors were uploading on the graphics section.
I did that based on a discussion between the admins that ended on us deciding to no longer accept skins on that category, since this is not the porpouse of that section.
"Graphics" is a place for people to upload the graphics he wants to sare with other others for them to use on their skins, interfaces , etc...
I hope you understand our decison.

Does that include wallpaper that people have uploaded to it and other artwork that belongs more on an art site rather than a skinning site?

I believe a lot of people have uploaded to the graphics section, not realizing they are making their work public domain. I have thought about starting a thread on this several times..............but I didn't want to wake any vultures.

Messiah...the 'intent' of the 'Graphics section' is for people to upload graphics they wish others to freely use in their skinning/whatever....'free to use', without encumberance...

Some good skinners are posting their Icons not performed on Icon Packager (AKA icons for apps. etc.)
I also uploaded icons on this section, and after deleted them.
It may be interesting to create a section with 'General Purpose Icons'. Or maybe you are awaiting the IconX appearance to create a new Icon Section?

Is there any chance this will lead to a few new libraries? Apps like rainlendar, ezpop, and kewlpad, to name a few, take up very little space/bandwidth, and are at least as popular and useful as Beatnik. And Xymantix's new SysMetrix app is very cool. If people are going to start skinning it, it deserves a library for sure.
I remember a while back, when the new site design was being developed, Frogboy asked people if there were any new libraries people would like to see, but I don't recall any being added. Just wondering...

Mike...I think one or two were added...but one thing is for sure...if and when a new app section is added it will be a valid and worthwhile one.
As one of the hilariously few people to actually skin CD Stomper I know first-hand how 'obscure' some sections can be.
Back when there was only one 'real' skin site...[skinz.org] I had THE most popular CD Stomper skin...[by a country mile] and it took 2 years to get to 2000 downloads.
Just compare that with a WB skin by treetog, Alexandrie or Adni18.....it's really 'sad'...
When a new section is added it'll be something 'good' and fun to skin...

Thanks Paxx and Jafo. You've satisfied my curiosity. I thought I might have been wrong about kewlpad. I didn't do my research before I posted.

If anyone wants the Glass Rainlender skin I had up or a new Beacon QuickNotes, please e-mail me. I'll send it to you.

I brought this thread up, because I was looking for a definition of what type of material goes in the graphics library....the comments from treetog and Jafo cleared it up for me....so here it is just in case anyone else wanted to know

Reply #14 Sunday, February 1, 2004 11:05 AM IMO the graphics section was to upload things you want to share with people (like .psd files) Or skins you want to give away so other people can 'finish' them or something simulair to that.

Perhaps a section called 'other skins' for any program not covered by existing sections.

I know it lost out to bootskins in the last poll, but I'm thinking that it might be a real help to a lot of people both skinners and the public, to have a Rainlendar section. With the new version of Rainlendar there is increased functionality and additional graphics in a Rainlendar skin for the new version, and updating Rainy's made for the old version the way things are now would mean a whole lot of Sysmetrix skins going up and down through the portals.
I realize that separating the Rainy's from the Sysmetrix skins will be kind of a pain but it would be a pain to update anyway with the skinner having to upload a new Sysmetrix package just to add a new Rainy. With a new Rainlendar library, skinners could upload the new Sysmetrix without a Rainy and then upload the new Rainy separately as a much smaller file. Would prevent thousands of downloads of Sysmetrix just to get an updated Rainy.

Actually, the answer I fear most to that question is "Reservation$"
