WinCustomize 2014 thread

It is time...

Thursday, September 12, 2013 by Frogboy | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

As much as many of us like the existing WinCustomize design, technology marches on and there's a lot more we can do with WinCustomize today than we could when we did the last design.

I'm starting this thread to begin the brain storming phase of what you guys would like to see in the next-generation version of WinCustomize.com.

This can include:

1. HOW items (like skins) are organized.

2. WHAT kinds of items we include (should we add support for mobile devices for instance)

3. WHAT kinds of design elements and features would you like to see.

Plus anything else you'd like to add.

Let it begin.

If you're going to revamp the site, I'd like to see the personal home pages brought back. While some of them still work, there is no links to get to them.

The ability to identify (and search for) which WindowBlinds skins are for which version(s) of Windows and which DeskScapes themes require MPEG2 support and which don't.

That being said, this IS the

WinCustomize 2014 thread

  not the Stardock forums thread.  there are some major differences, not the least of which is the fact that many of us continue to support WinCustomise by way of subscription.

make sure it works for browsers that are not maximised and only occupy part of the screen alongside other windows. I can't stress this enough. Having to scroll sideways is painful

Dammmmmn Ralph, any other hoops you need them to jump though?

 (not that you don't have some valid suggestions, but this thread deals with ONE subscriber site)

it'd be nice if 'we put up with it' could be reworked into 'heck, it's working right!!!'
as always,                     Jafo put it best.

Was just wondering if there was any progress update that we might be able to take a peek at?

There's nothing to see right now, the point of this thread was for suggestions and ideas.

I know one change coming up is the Master Skin royalty rate is about to go to 70% for skin authors, 30% for WC.

So when can we expect to see this new beauty, & when does the new 70% royalty for Masterskinners start to work?

hopefully that will encourage some long term Masters to return to skinning at least with the occasional masterskin..... the old guard's skins have been thin on the ground for awhile now.... here's hoping this encouragement is successful.....

A live chat room option would be nice.

Stardock does have the IRC for this, problem is no one uses it anymore.

( Wallpapers ) ..

I think having to upload a Zip full of different sizes is Old School , and a big waste of time and everybody does it different ..

Most other sites now you just upload the lager size and the site generates all the other sizes that site deals with .

and with smartphones and tablets being the next best thing it could generate sizes for those items also ..

This way you can just download the size you want and not a zip full which you have to delete the ones you don't need ..

This would allow the people to get the size they need , as most of the wall zips here don't include the right sizes for some people

forcing them to have to re-size the wall themselves ( for those who know how to do it ) ..

 

Just my thoughts about wall uploads and downloads
