Where can I make a suggestion...?
Thursday, December 15, 2005 by Stupendous Man | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I would like to proffer a small suggestion concerning WB5, and also would like to know to whom I should suggest this suggestion 
and also get your opinion as to whether it would be something that you think YOU would like to see implemented in a future WB5 update (The voice of the people and so forth). Oh, if Stardock did do something like this I would be willing to relinquish any and all possible intellectual property rights. I'm in this for the fun of it, o.k.?
I would like to see added to the WB5 config a keyword search. Now, I know that there's already something like that available, but what I was thinking of is the ability to add and do searches for skins based on your own keywords.
For example, for blue skins you would assign the keyword 'blue', or for metallic skins the word 'metallic' or 'futuristic' or whatever you wanted to use as a criteria for finding skins of only a certain type.
That way finding just the right skin to complement that awesome wallpaper you found/made would be a breeze. And of course you'd need to be able to assign multiple keywords to a skin because it might fall into several of your category choices.
I'm no programmer, but I think it would be relatively simple to implement. There's already the ability to search for skins by name, so this (I think) would be just a case of tweaking the WB5 config just a little bit to support the added ability.
So what do ya think? Is a good thing or no?

Stupendous Man, I have often felt this way myself. It would make things so much easier then going though the whole gallery. Now, I do keep up with the new editions but that does not mean I am going to remember them as I would need something different to match a cool wall I have come about.
