Object Dock new 'skins' (Rant)
Saturday, December 13, 2003 by c242 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I think it is about time to do the same as with walls, speak to take new submissions to the OD section out of the Newest Additions box... It becomes annoying... People, please do packs and don't upload every single icon as a seperate task. My rant for the weekend.

I would have to say I don't agree with this, it doesn't seem right to discriminate against certain types of skins. I would like to see wallpapers still in it, and object dock icons continue to be featured as a part of it as well. I do think that selecting certain ones would be a nice change, maybe by rating or something similar, but some icons and the packages and docklets have no less work in them than any window blinds skin or winamp player etc... It depends on the work presented to me, if a wall or even a single icon is worth noting it should be displayed as such in there, but I do agree that ho hum stuff or thrown together copy paste work isn't deserving enough to push ANY window blind or such work off of it.
Other than that I think that little box on the right ought to be exactly what it says, "newest submissions", not "newest everything except walls and object dock related work"

Perhaps a solution to this would be limiting the amount of OD icons shown in the list, just as they did a while back with the wallpapers, but that wont solve the problem of the overflow in the OD library and how this individual images are pushing all of the work back 5-6 pages within hours of upload.

yip, there definetly needs to be a better selection of which are put on newest submissions, and the overflow is an understatement, I think many people that used to get any wallpaper up they put up that can't now because moderation was increased migrated to object dock because basically everything is accepted and they are rather easy to complile.

Packs of 6 or more icons have a shot at the list, singles excluded?

horizon your missing the point,I think they plan to have more than one list...problem solved.
.Jafo there must be something wrong with my account then,about 15% of my uploads miss the list entirely(to the extreme of being posted 60 places back) or start near the bottom.
.Everything deserves a ride down the list,walls included.Thats why I'm advocating multiple list.I have an animated 'poof that took about 7 hours to make,...think I didnt care if anybody noticed it?
.those posting dates dont appear to reset to me,it seems to be purely a function of upload date and how quickly after that you were posted.(at least in my case)

hmmmmmmm...maybe if people wouldnt upload several of the same icon at the same time of icons that already exist many times over... 
.how many nearly identicalPS icons do we need anyway.Once I saw Jairo's PS icon I decided not to do one unless it would be as good as his.

If is the Godzilla/Bambi poof. I got it, but I noticed it on the library cause by the time I loged on it was off the list
Indeed OD icons should be accepted as packs (3,4,5,6, etc) depending on the application. Exception to the rule will be an icon for a stand alone application and if it's of good quality.

Yeah that was kind of cruel. I'll have to wait until my little cousin is old enough to show it to him. I don’t want him to end up with some psychological trauma

You are right IRB. And some of the dockletts and poofs are amazing.
One thing I have always wondered is why the MB is so long, and there is empty space at the bottom. Maybe the 'Community' section could move under the 'Poll' and one or two more catagories of topdownloads (or even the top 30) extend further down their current spot.. It would balance the page better.
Oh, and with everything, maybe some hard core 'educating' of the uploading situation, some encouraging to get people to make packets when they can.
