After the numbers?

from WinCustomize Forums

   This may be totally unnecessary, but I need to say it. There has been a lot going on in the forums lately about who skinned what, where they got the images, etc.

    Something was said about "download whores" that I feel needs my comment. First I would point out that 80% of the last 30 or so DX themes are mine. Some are better than others, some seem mass produced. I am not the best at what I do, that's for sure. But I am trying to get better at it, and trying to do more original work lately. There are several masters out there that have helped me along the way. This is greatly appreciated.

   Now, back to my point. I am trying to generate interest in DesktopX. I am not trying to garner downloads, not trying to "earn" karma. I want to inspire more people to try to create DesktopX themes. There seems to be a real lack of interest in DX that I hate to see because it is the main part of OD Ultimate that I love. I would hate to see DX go the route of Object Bar, tab launchpad, and some of the other almost dead apps.

    I do not feel that anyone has pointed me out, or bashed me in any way. I just know that it could look like I am after the download numbers, when all I really want is more attention/participation with DesktopX.

I'm agree with each of your words! This is really a big problem. But I think we cannot solve it without at least a little help and participation of Stardock in this process. On the other side I may see that they do nothing for this...  (:( 

Just my 5 cents.

I am so glad you got in on this Vad_M! I admire your work and let me say, if I had just half of your ability... I would be a force to be reckoned with...lol. You are awesome when it comes to gadgets and widgets!  ;)

I think that could work


Awesome!!! I may have an excuse to install SKS after all.I assume it would be needed to make the changes.

Just be you Jim, thats all you have to worry about :)

DX theme is up :CONGRAT: 
Reply #36 from WinCustomize Forums Top
No worries Jim. Actually, if you look through the DX Themes that's kind of the way it goes with one skinner releasing quite a few at a time.
Reply #37 from WinCustomize Forums Top
And Jim....as far as releasing a bunch of themes at one time or a over a few days....it does not mean your a download whore. There was a time when I was a dock making machine and went nutz uploading a lot of docks like that....but my motivation for that had nothing to do with download counts...I just enjoyed making them...promoting the skins they were for...and so people could start using them. Plus I got good enough at it that I could do it that fast. So....just do what you enjoy doing and don't sweat the small stuff. ;)

Jim . . it's been attempted before . . but DX widgets using the images in a  WB skin would R.O.C.K in the U.S.A (and elsewhere).

As one of the primary DX moderators . . I can't wait for you to branch out.  Your stuff is good . . but your not stretching yourself right now.  There is skill in matching WBs . . but you have that.  Maybe it's time for you to train up the next generation and reach for the next thing.

Lastly . . I appreciate what you have done and are doing.  I count you as a friend.   :)

Thanx, and ditto. I want to do a WB, and will sometime. I am trying to get a handle on walls right now, wanna do dreams and right clicks. And with some scripting study, I'd like to try to impress Vad_M and RomanDA ( yeah, right. That'll happen)  :LOL:
