What Galleries Would You Like Added to WinCustomize?

We want to serve current skinner and user interests better

from WinCustomize Forums

This year so far we've added 11 new galleries to WinCustomize in an attempt to make sure we're keeping up with what's going on in the wider world of Windows Customization.  Here's the full list for 2007 to date:

Now, some of these galleries have done well, others have not.  Probably the two most successful on that list are Dream and Xion.  Dreams skyrocketed in popularity with the release of Windows Vista, and in general have done very well even as the Vista hype started to die down.  I really think Dreams are going to be one of our cornerstone galleries in the years to come as people get more into putting video and dynamic content on their desktop.

The other example of a successful gallery addition was Xion.  It may be one of our fastest growing skin libraries on the site right now.  Community reaction to the addition was fantastic, and in fact the app was added at the request of many skinners. 

Obviously, the success of a gallery depends on how much the community REALLY wants it or is interested in it.  So far this year, we've not had the best track record at anticipating demand.  So now I'm calling out to the community.  What's out there that you're skinning for that you feel would be a great addition to WinCustomize?  Are we missing out on some skinning or computer graphics related area that just can't be ignored any longer?  I want to hear from you!

Post your thoughts here with any relevant links so I can take a look.

We need subcategory (or one more gallery) for creations that contains new scripts and (or) some new ideas.

There's already a filter.  Use it.  ;)

For technical reasons at this point they can not actually be separated without considerable effort.  We are looking at a way to fix the problem via presentation (how the objectdock gallery is displayed), but that can't happen until the next major site update which is several months off.

And I've tried to contact the DesktopSidebar developer, but haven't received a response to my emails since Christmas

I would have to say that it's their lose. Really a shame, nice sidebar program.

As for other Galleries, what ever you chose.  ;)

Desktop Sidebar would be an excellent addition.

Duke261, not to be picky but read reply #34. If they don't respond then they are not interested. I use Desktop Sidebar myself, but just may be looking at another option. :NOTSURE:

we need an object dock background gallery that is separated from the millions of object dock icons.

Doubt this will ever happen. Which is a shame since that library will start looking pretty silly when everyone that puts a lot of work into creating these docks just gets fed up. I've already moved a bunch to my personal pages and I am seriously considering just uploading there.

And Zubaz...Thats no help at all....not everyone knows about or will even bother using that filter...so get a clue already! ;) But since you don't create these backgrounds I can't seriously expect you to understand why one is needed. ;)
