A forum for ALL skinners and Desktop Customization fans everywhere! You are all invited!
We want to welcome you to Skinning Community Forum.
Please come give your feedback in the existing topics, start new topics, show us screenshots of your desktop or what you are working on. We hope to see you sharing your thoughts and suggestions. Sharing and Friendship is what Skinning Community Forum is all about!
The Skinning Community Forum is here, now: http://desktop-art.info/ (click the banner on the resulting page)
Or you could just post here
Ditto.
Better for the skinning community as a whole to have more choices. More exposure. Post here, at WC, post at DeviantArt, Skinbase, SDN, DesktopArt, etc.....
More the merrier. Check us out, Neil. We're showing off work you make possible. Thanks!
That's nice to see people organizing themselves but I would rather post in least places (if not one), it's easier to check out.
Mondays it seems are my learning days, so help me to learn.
I was always under the impression that Stardock and WinCustomize embraced the skinning community.
Gee Wiz
*Edit* Not gee wiz about the new site, ya know........I mean.......what?
I'm a bit confused here...I thought we already had a site like that. I've been a member of it since 2003 and pretty much can do all the things you mentioned. So I'm not sure what your going for here. No offense...but what makes this new site your advertising here different or better than WinCustomize?
Not better, Steve. We are not looking to replace WC, or any other site. Just trying to get a foot in the door. More sites are dying out these days. A new site should be welcomed. Maybe the OP should be re thought. It isn't supposed to come across like we're better than any other site, just different.
OP Edited for obvious reasons.
Or, "rethought".
Can I offer any surgical services to remove the bullet from your foot?
The way the OP was worded implies such a site hasn't existed before this new one.... and I agree with those who answered that perhaps 'unfortunate' wording.... it comes across as "Look! I just invented the wheel!"
Lol...yes Doc. Good to see you got yer net back.
I didn't compose the original message, I only posted it. I hope all is well and damage control was quick enough.
I apologize to the offended.
I'm interested but would like to know how this site is different from what is currently available. I don't need better, but I do need different . . otherwise, why bother?
It can emphasize tutorials, or types of skinning or the technixal aspects of skinning non-skinnable apps or using custom skinning engines . . .or . ..something.
Another site for the sole purpose of the same things seems an odd choice.
Tell me more!
There are plans for the future, but guys, the site is just starting. We do have plans that will make it diferent. Promotion of skinner's personal sites, premium themes from all skinners around the world will be featured there. Not only Masters.
I want to know more about these, these.. "technixal" aspects of which you so speak!
THAT, is something that we have NEVER seen before indeed!!!
It's way too technixal for me...over my head!!!!
I can't say there'd be any dramas with a New Site with a 'different political' stance on skinning as a whole.
It's not just about eggs-in-one-basket but more about Stardock, its Admins and Mods being the 'surviving' prima facie 'tutti capi' of skinning.
Once upon a time there were several large and [mostly] independent sites devoted to GUI/App skinning. Most have long gone.
Yes, I can remember it being very time-consuming flitting from one site's forum to another's....just to keep track of 'everything', and at the same time there was a LOT of 'everything' as GUI modding was new to everyone.
But that being said, a new site's different social/political 'bent' would be welcome, most definitely...
The OP has been "radically" edited making responses 1-8 and 10 seem "off the wall".
Response 9 has been altered as well, but the original response is not viewable.
Original post can be seen in post #7
I think it can be agreed upon that the OP needed editing. I'm sorry that the responses now seem odd.
good luck with the site.
feels a little "same, same, but different". i think if you want to revive that skinning thing, a really different approach might help more.
a Dribbble-like site dedicated to skinning would be cool.
I will check it out RnD!
I joined. It's a little bit of a tossup though to how often I might visit but the idea of a skinner's only forum portion is way needed. It would be great if other skinners joined up just to support that aspect if nothing else.
Good luck with the site guys, I'll bookmark it along with WC.
Well, look at it this way folks, there's no posts unrelated to skinning there!
I like it!
I'll be checkin' it out.
Thanks guys! Tom, you da man!
