What happened to all the good skinners?

Sunday, May 15, 2005 by stpetedom | Discussion: Community

It looks like all the recent Windowblinds skins have been made my unemployed "web site designers" (and clearly unemployed for a reason!)

I miss the days of awesome xmas blinds, etc.

It's so bad that last time I reformatted my HD, I didn't reinstall windowblinds or iconpackager.

It's sad.

What a way to encourage new skinners on this site

You can always use the classic skins you like, or have patience. New skins will arrive, it's possible that the "good skinners" are busy with real life or making new skins/suites.

Wow. Not very nice of you. Maybe you should make your own.

Well, I just released a skin ... but I'm neither unemployed nor am I a web site designer.

Standing policy with all the skins I do ... if you don't like them .. don't use them. Perhaps you could make your own, instead.

Thanks for the mention, Fuzzy.

Nice avatar, Pic. If history is correct, I'll bet it relates to a new skin YOU are working on, which of course will shut this guy up. There's one in every crowd.

I may disagree with everything you say,but i'd give my life supporting your ability to express your own opinion. A wise man once said that. I feel i'll use it in this case. i do disagree that good skins are not in stock these days cause they are, but i aknowledge that you are entitled of your own opinion. Just don't call names around, it's like shooting at the sky,it has no point. if you have some advice for all here go ahead and express it. Make positive critic,not pointless, negative and maybe unfair critic.

If it has gotten that bad as to prevent you from installing WB after your last reformat, then why are you here asking for skins you are not gonna use?

Tsk, tsk, tsk..... so sad.

Who posts something like that? I mean, c'mon! That's the kind of opinion (or at least the way in which it was worded) you keep to yourself.

Have some couth.

C'mon Meowy, dont tell me you didn't know that X-Mas comes every other day
Now, if Mr Stpetedom wants a good X-Mas skin, I'll be more than happy to make it...... if he pays my askin price.

Trying to discredit another persons effort is a bit weak.

Aplocalypse makes a good point - why are you asking for skins if you are not willing to install the programs?

From my point of view, it takes a lot of effort to create a skin (and I have only made a few icons and a couple walls).

Please show some respect for those who actually do the work and try to create something.
