Windowblinds is the program that applies the change. Skin Studio is the program that creates the change.

Yeah, I didn't think so, but the use of the word "tracker", just made me curious. By the way, did you get my email?

Parting Ways in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I've been informed by MikeB, that he demoted me for my Comic skins and my Aerosmith skin. It seems that my skins are threatening him in some(profitable) way, I gather, and I was told that this is the general admin opinion. I'm just interested in knowing if this is so. I understand that Xav's comic skins were removed because of Marvel's complaints about them. It seems that fan art is squashed when there is a profit seen in the horizon. I personally thought they were great free publicity,

Mrtee, I know about bad and good cookies. I don't need to read all of that. Bad cookies track your browsing habits outside of the site. Good cookies help correlate your habits on the site. I was just unsure whether this cookie was a good one or a bad one. Essencay provided the information that I was looking for. Thanks anyway.

Oh okay, that pretty much explains it. Just curious, thanks Essencay.

Hmm, no one ever said that this was a internal cookie. Wincustomize places cookies on my computer all the time. Why suddenly a tracker cookie and the usage of the term? Tracking cookies are normally used to track user browsing habits outside of the site they originate from. It confounds me.

Yes, I know how to deny/restrict cookies on my computer. I was just wondering why WC would try to use tracking cookies and claim to be spyware free?

Look at the first page of the suites library. Jimbo is using everyone elses skins to make a suite. Elvee used all of Starones skins to make a suite. Yet, it is totally under his account and the rating and counts go to him completely. He has nothing to do with Starone. Yet, I don't see any of these requirements being forced upon them. It is strange, so strange. So, why all the uproar about TN port

Reply to todays Poll need''s 1 more option in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I think that poll is totally ridiculous. If someone finds a good windowblind skin, of course they want the wall. The wall might even be included in the skin. Then, some windowblind skins display a icon package or one is made for it. So, of course, one will download the icon package to match it. Then, there might be a desktopX object to match the skin. So, one will probably download that too. So, the poll just doesn't make sense to me. "Other" means none of the above to me. In my opinion this is

So to be doubly clear, you can upload your own work, but only link to the work of others. This is so strange, because I see lots of Starones skins uploaded with permission as suites by other people. Yet, I haven't heard any of the requirements that are being forced upon TNBrat and Pinchecl. I didn't see any of these requirements when anyone decid

I'm just trying to get everyone to see how silly all this is sounding. It is a silly little rating that means nada in the world scheme. And, it's influence is minimal as KarmaGirl says herself. Can we forget this attempt to minimize artist involvements with each others work and move on?

Or maybe a Non-profit non-partnership vs. Profit sharing Partnership Wait a minute here. Mormegil works for Stardock, and Wincustomize is affiliated with Stardock. Therefore, the admins can't rate Mormegil, because of bias. Therefore, for fairness, all ratings for Mormegil's work, by admins, should be removed. Come-on this has to be fair, right?

Reply to Why am I not permitted to rate skins that I port? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Yep, that means all Skinplant ratings and Pixtudio ratings, from anyone in partnership throughout time must now be removed. It doesn't matter whether you ported any work from the other, but now they are in partnership and all ratings from one or the other, throughout time, must be removed to keep it fair. So if Hippy, ever rated Mikes work, it must be removed for fairness. Wait a minute, does this mean a non-profit partnership or a profit sharing partnership? Maybe its time for another agreement

Reply to Why am I not permitted to rate skins that I port? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I just updated the agreement, so please re-sign it.

Reply to Why am I not permitted to rate skins that I port? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Non Partnership Agreement The former, known as TN Brat!, and the latter, known as ChasUGC, do not know each other. We met in cyberchat last week but that was in mind only. We do not engage in any profit from this project, and therefore we could care a hill of beans, what anyone thinks about our work. Therefore, all negative comments will be ignored. We, in non partnership, futhe

Does this mean that the rating system is now retroactive? So that if anyone ports a skin, or later becomes a partner with someone else that all previous ratings regarding this person and the other will be removed? Will, this be a global rule or just one to use if you don't like one person or the other? If it is global, it has to be fair then, but seems like a whole lot of work. If it is not global, then that is totally unfair, and I just want to say that I love all the admins. <img src="http://

At the bottom of the screen there is now a tracker icon. Is Wincustomize now using tracking cookies to see where I go after I leave here or maybe even which programs I am running on my computer?

For the music you need winamp, if it is a windowblind, and it might work with desktopx too but it has its own player. Someone will come along soon enough for the weather help. Where do you live? [Message Edited]

Also, no one give me a ten on any of my skins and if you do please don't port them. I need all the tens I can get.

Reply to Why am I not permitted to rate skins that I port? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

So, if you really like a skin, so much that you want to port it over to another program that you like, you are no longer able to rate it. I guess that means that if you feel a skin is a 10, you shouldn't rate it because you might port it. So, listen up people, only use skins that are eight or below. That means download all of mine!!! <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/jokegrim.gif" border=0
