Talisman skins and wallpapers
After the numbers?
Published on July 10, 2008 By PuterDudeJim In Community

   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.

Hey Jim! Since this is my "first" post here....just let me say your doing a great job with your themes. And as long as your having fun doing what you do...don't worry about this download whore thing. I doubt anyone is thinking that about you. I never even check my downloads!

Jim,
In my opinion a "Download whore" or "Popularity Whore" as it is sometimes referred to is not someone that submits a bunch of themes back to back. ( Hell if that were the case then Night Train would have to change his nick to Xaviara   )
It is someone that constantly feels the need to use the word Vista (or whatever the latest craze is) into the name of their work. This is horribly common in the wallpaper section followed up closely in the WB Section (more so at DA). Stuff that has absolutely no bearing at all with Vista, or up and coming Windows 7.

So there ya have it! Consider yourself as pure as the driven snow.
(Night Train on the other hand.. well, I think Po' has pictures somewhere in the archives..)

Question: A WB can have roll up and other buttons.I've seen a few that even launched WMP or took you to a website i.e.Zippo,Alienware. Can these be assigned to launching DX config. or load a desktop that matches the WB? Just curious.


You know that is a good ? and I think so !I will go try now!
