Reply to Multiple user consolidation... in WinCustomize Site Issues WinCustomize Forums

Hmm, interestingly, they couldn't. :( They said that they are linked to the same account in the Stardock side but they cannot delete or move nicks to consolidate everything. So I am thinking I might just move all my skins from the account I don't wish to keep to the account I do wish to keep. Unfortunately, then they are going to go through the same approval process and show up as new skins, which I don't really want to do. Also, it's a hassle to move 20 skins with their descriptions, screen

Multiple user consolidation... in WinCustomize Site Issues WinCustomize Forums

Someone from WC: I have multiple identities on the site (sorry about that) that I would like to consolidate since I have skins under both identities. It was dumb, I know. THat was many years ago. I just wondered if it was easy for you guys to consolidate them under one of my identities. Thanks, T.

Heh, have you had a chance to be "assisted" by an overseas operator? It's been proven that the customer satisfaction rates are much lower for such outsourcing companies so I'm not surprised they are bringing back such jobs.

Reply to Microsoft DRM to Become More Restrictive in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

This type of protection that makes it a living hell for users simply makes it even more tempting to go the piracy route. When are these music companies going to realize that? You either make it easily available or the pirated versions are going to be more convenient. Yea, yea, the whole mumbo jumbo about honesty and stuff is great, but a lot of people do not feel bad about not filling the pockets of the fat music companies by purchasing overpriced t

I'd use it if only it didn't have PC in a box plastered all over it... but then it wouldn't be a PC magazine theme. Jokes aside, it is a clean crisp theme. Usability is high and you definitely get the point that it's PC Magazine's theme. Anyway, it's nice to see differe

Maturity does not come with age, unfortunately... I am all for legalizing these drugs but then don't come dipping into my tax dollars when you are in need of rehab or you are so fuked up physically that you need someone to nurse you. I think all smokers, alcoholics, and drug addicts (other than those that get it from childhood, being born from a drugger mom) should not be provided with any kind of insurance benefits that "normal" peop

^^Gabriel: Unfortunately, maturity does not always come with age. Unfortunately, it seldomly arrives to most people. I dismiss that suggestion. As I said before, I don't mind legal drugs. But then when you are addicted and you have fuked up your life, don't you start dipping in to my tax dollars for help. Or when you get cancer and need therapy, be ready to pay it out of pocket. I say the same should be true for alcohol and cigarettes. If you

Reply to Hunting for DX ideas - The response in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

What I really would like to see is a separate WinCustomize library where interesting, original, and useful scripts can be isolated from the gazillion of calendar, cpu meter, weather, and such objects. This will be done by the moderator. When a new object is submitted, if it is deemed original, it will be added to the new library instead. I think that would make DX object library much more useful. &lt/2cents>

Reply to Brad's Friday Night Skinning Blog Entry in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Frogboy, I really am upset with the ignorant remark about Turkish prisons. What would you know about Turkish prisons to begin with? > I'm sure the only thing you know comes from that good old movie "Midnight Express"... It's like me commenting on German prisons by watching WWII movies or commenting on American prisons by watching that Sylvester Stallone movie, whatever its name was... In the future,

Reply to Goodyear Licenses Theme Manager from Stardock For New Website Launch in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Stardock still charges the companies to use their software. They don't get paid for the skin the company decides to use anyway, unless they design it. I don't think Stardock is out to make money by skinning.

Paxx! That remote car is mine. I agree, they should use it and pay me big bucks for it. Anyway, I don't think it's being critical to think that this theme is mediocre compared to the ones we are used to seeing almost every day. P

Reply to Goodyear Licenses Theme Manager from Stardock For New Website Launch in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Huh, how about this: Stardock offers competitions for these companies. It will give the company free advertising, they will get to choose from multiple designs, and somehow it can even be free for the companies. I think that would be much more valuable for these companies.

Reply to Goodyear Licenses Theme Manager from Stardock For New Website Launch in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Hmmm, I think it's great that these companies are licensing these themes. I do have to say that the theme that they came up with is just butt ugly. Whoever did it clearly is very inexperienced and it's a waste of Goodyear's money. There are much more talented individuals on this website that could have made a much better looking theme... >

Reply to "There's so much JUNK! How do I find good stuff???" in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

I think the main thing that you guys are missing is that, yes, it is your site and you're free to feature what YOU like, but that doesn't mean that's what the VISITORS like... How about featuring skins that get a lot of download in a single day? Or featuring skins that, as Solution design suggests, fit the type of skins you like according to a questionaire. For example, maybe I have a tendency to download darker skins, then my featured skin should be dark ones, not pink and yellow skins or the i

Oh, and another thing. There seems to be a little bit (surprise) bias towards some people's products in the admin's picks. For example, go get the featured list from DX Objects, and you'll notice that Frogboy and _Martin_ keep repeating, and it's not hard to guess why. P

Reply to "There's so much JUNK! How do I find good stuff???" in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Ditto. I rarely agree with the Admin's "pick-o'-the-day". You guys need to find a better way of grading things. So far I have not been impressed with any of them. For example, one author publishes something that is great that gets 10 maybe, then he does the other colors on request and those only get 5-6. Those will get lost even though those colors might have been more appealing to any visitor. I don't know... The whole thing just seems too shaky. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smi
