Too late now, man, you're on "the list"!

Come on guys.........enough is enough............This is so destructive and serves no useful purpose..........Move on........There are far more important things in life

Actually, Po`, I blame you!!  But that's Skinhit's fault.... he told me to.

Did he tell you to wear that funny hat as well?

And you can't tell us that's really coffee your drinking Po!

where did it seem that i was bitching?. This is what i mean about opinions. I wasn't bitching about anything i merely voiced my opinion about something but YOU took that as bitching. I know that vista/XP are totally different and now with 7 things are changed even more. But other masters manage to include substyles for other O/S's so i fail to see your point.

I'm going to make a suggestion to you, Kitty.

Now...... You have done enough xp skins to know what images you have to draw and where to put them, right? It is in fact possible to skin an OS in the blind (no pun intended) if you have a fellow skinner that you trust.

I and another skinner do this every time she does her Win7 substyle. She doesn't have Win7 so she relies on me to test it. Here's what we do: She puts all the images in place and sends me the skin. We then do a live skype session where we go through the skin section by section and I tell her what needs to be adjusted. It really works, ya know.

Just an idea

Ok only one thing...i don't understand what the hell the point with the discussion of the substyles for xp and vista and the quality master skin...are two things completely separate

A skin with three substyles has more quality perhaps? no, it has more work and effort

Another thing...if the people has xp don't buy a skin for vista...simple no? What's the problem?

No, it's not been deleted. It's being hold in the moderation queue pending Stardock moderation, due to an update.

Perhaps it is not that the skin isn't master quaility but the quality of what is a master skin these days is what changed.

The allmighty dollar wins again.......

"Po' Smedley For President"

"Blame Skinhit"

These are sentiments mirrored in teh eternal artistic works of Moe, Larry and Curley.

Even Mohandas K. Ghandi (the Mahatma) was quoted (when being arrested in South Africa) as having said, "I do not blame Jan Smuts. I blame skinhit."

So, in the interests of peace all over the world (I have sent M. Abbas and B. Netanyahu telegrams suggesting they comply and so has Hillary), non-violence and economic recovery (as well as preventing swine flu):

"Blame Skinhit.... Yes We Can!"

No. You became the bad guy because of the way you said it. There's a difference.

Every time an opinion is posted, there's a person reading it. If you write it as an attack, it'll be interpreted that way. You could easily just have pointed out the issue without yelling plagiarism.

It's not just you though, it's common all over the internet. There's a huge difference between criticism and accusal. Posting criticism is fine, but the kind of accusations people tend to post (claiming it's criticism) is just not right.

I never intended my accusation to be criticism.  It was an accusation.  Period.  I did post about not having a decent screenshot, one in which the majority of the skin parts could be seen.  That was criticism.  I know my accusation should have been put into a Private Message.  But I didn't feel like it this time.  I'd had enough and said something about it.  Something others may have wanted to say but didn't because they are afraid of getting bashed, or maybe hurting their reputation on here or their chances at promotion...whatever.

In the end, I don't care what anyone thinks of me on these forums.  The people that know me, know me.  I speak my mind, I say what I want to say be it on a forum, or face to face.  Whether you like it or not.

I don't have a vendetta against vampothkittymaloneika.  I'm not out to get her.  Normally, I don't comment on her skins even though I do download them to check them out.  Why?  Because she thinks I'm out to get her.  So if I leave any type of constructive criticism, there's a possibility that she'll be having a bad day and assume that I'm out to get her.  So I usually stay away.

But then she puts up this crybaby post calling attention to herself.  Well, she got some attention didn't she.  Not exactly what she wanted though.  One possible good thing that came from this post is a few people maybe understand a little better about using resources and crediting the authors if they request credit.

Vampothika, I will never again comment on any of your skins, or your other threads.  That, I'm sure, will make you happy, but I do this for the sake of the community, not for you. 

Yet people will look at a picture of a (insert any fast food item here) and marvel at the appetizing look of it. When they get it home it has the thumbprints of the cook embeded in the bun. The cheese is half on the sandwich and half running down the side of the bun. The meat is cold and the lettuce is hot and brown. The french fries appear to have been used as rectal thermometers at some point in their already long life, and your soda is so out of mix that all you taste is carbonated water.

 They eat it anyway and go back for more in the future. All while having spent twice as much as what these master windowblinds cost. Truely amazing...

Where are you eating man?

It's not a burger we are talking about here.  The old SS is an exact representation of what the theme looks like applied.  It doesn't change after applying, like meshugga said.  Anyone with any graphical sense can judge a theme enough by it's screenshot to realize how good it is or isn't.  It doesn't have to be bought and then applied to figure out they don't like it.  And to say that someone who isn't a master can't judge a skins quality is retarded.  (That comment isn't attributed to Phoon)
