I got my Windowblinds 5.0 installed and it looks beautiful... I am just hoping that people start creating some nice looking skins and themes for them, instead of the crap that's out now.

@ Eltonfan .... If you think the skins that are out there now are crap,
I think that you should stick your comment where the sun doesn't shine
and design your own skins.

I am not saying that all the skins are crap.... I agree that Dogmax4 is one of the best ones and I am currently using the VistaXP which is beautiful, but about 90% of the skins are unusable and look horrible. I can't design my own skins because sadly enough I am one of the poor suckers that has to work for a living

Essentially ALL the skinners making these 'crap' skins are your fellow "poor suckers that has to work for a living".

But they are extra special.

They get the chance to have their freely-offered skins/works/efforts insulted by just another "poor sucker" who could do worse than to show some appreciation....

....sometime....

It's that kind of 'appreciation' which make skinners want to go away and never submit skins again. Ungrateful wretch

Can't they spray for trolls? ...Just found a very cool widget that can startup with my system: Boxxi's LCDeep_WC...new-skin WC feed. Not only is there WB5, but also great means of seeing latest works! Thanks, Boxxi, WC and Stdck!

Since there is only a few skins made for wb 5.0 I can only assume that you include my 3 FLAWLESS 5.0 skins in the crap. You will never be satisfied. Your life will be a miserable one. That makes me happy.

After spending $70 for Object Desktop and then have garbage to choose from, then yes, I am not satisfied. I do admire you and other skinners for taking the time to design your skins, but they are not what I am looking for for my desktop. Yes, I am extremely fussy when it comes to detail. It's just a matter of my opinion and from what I have learned from this site is that a person is not allowed to express their opinion, unless it's good.

But on a lighter note, I am a fan of VistaXP, designed and organized by KoL. That is very well done.

I also noticed that people are frightened to make new Icons for IconPackager.... How come?

Why didn't you browse the skins here before buying a product suite that applies those skins.

What did you base your purchase on? I am having a hard time understanding the process and am interested.

A few prccesses I can think of:
See advertisement for WB. Like screenshots. Purchase.
Visit WC. See skins. buy WB.
From what you describe it's more like:
Want new desktop look. Buy WB. Don't like prepackaged skins. Visit WC. Don't like [most] available skins. Don't [or can't] create own skins.

I don't get it.

And as far a expressing your opinion. Anyone can do it in [almost] any way they like here. But if you want that opinion to be respected, you need to present it in a respectful manner. And referring to material as "crap" doesn't cut it.

I'm just gob-smacked....Lost for words.

I wasn't aware that $70 could actually purchase one the right to disparage most of 'your' fellow site members, particularly those who DO contribute more than a failed acerbic wit.

People can have different 'tastes'...some can believe themselves to be consummate experts in 'fussy detail'....others can be past masters of the digital/skinning/GUI 'art'...but none have the right to prance around declaring [almost] everything is crap/garbage, certainly not when they have no education/experience with the craft.

There are people here who MADE that crap/garbage who probably would rather such critics did not deign to cast a shadow over their doorway.

This has nothing to do with opinion, good OR bad...but about behaviour, appreciation, and respect.
