Your Opinion on Theming Needed

Tuesday, May 27, 2003 by Ray Wolfe | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

Okay All - What do you think? When setting up Skins or Themes for others to download, is it better to...

A - Leave all of the button and icon links unassigned so the person downloading can easily link them to their own programs.

B - Assign only the common links, (such as Disk Drives, Control Panel, Run, Search, etc.) but leave all program links unassigned.

C - Assign all icons and buttons to your own programs and let each person downloading your theme reassign them to their own preferences.

Best mix.

B is the best option. I think it is safe to assume most people want access to basic Windows functions, but want to also be able to link to their favorite applications.

If you choose B or C, make sure you use %SysemRoot% or something like that. Not everyone installs windows on their C Drive.

Option D, don't set up skins for others to download. Make them for yourself.
