xplatinum Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 (edited) Since there's alot of VS out there... some nicer than others. I decided to create this thread so everyone can post their favorite VisualStyle. I see people asking "what's that VS" in the monthly desktop thread everyday. I really think this thread will help people keeping an eye on what's trendy these days when it comes to VisualStyles ! Here are the 'rules' : NO DUPES (I WILL KEEP A LIST IN THIS POST) MUST POST A SCREENSHOT OF IT IN ACTION (800x600 -or- 1024x768) MUST LINK TO THE VS (DEVART OR NEOWIN THREAD) PUT THE AUTHOR AND VS NAME DO NOT POST ANY VS YOU CAN FIND, ONLY POST WHAT YOU CONSIDER NICE NO OFF-TOPIC POSTS! READ THE RULES AGAIN Hoping this will get a sticky :) LIST: Azure by Gigatexel & Bant Classix 10K 2.0 by Gigatexel Grayscale by (ported) KoL HmmXP by ????

Windows X Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 Competition for what? Different people have different tastes and life-styles. Let them judge their best themes in their minds instead cheering their favourite themes to beat others. I think we should make Visual style gallery to let ppl find their themes more easily than search like VS 1 by ABC screenshot VS 2 by DEF screenshot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where the hell did I mention the word competition ? Where did I say that it was a place to "beat each other's theme" ? Get your facts straight before assuming stupidities.

Windows X Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 Word "Hall of Fame" meant to be the best or most popular themes. I read all of your purposes and I think it should be Theme Gallery than Hall of fame to decide something good or bad. Ideas you brought could take members to compete their favourite themes for further posts like "why don't you add XYZ VS? I think it's cool too!" and then someone said that sucks (This is just an example so don't be serious). So I'd like to tell you about changing topic from hall of fame to theme gallery. Get it?

Yeah that would be a good idea... but I don't want people to add every single VS out there. I want people to post what THEY think is their favorite or best VS to their eyes. I also don't want this thread to become cluttered with the past couple posts we made. I want it to be 95% of screenies and VS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Trode Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 Windows X go find a new thread to troll. I personally think this is an awesome idea if done correctly and if you have nothing positive to contribute don't say anything at all.

[hxc] Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 i personally think this is a great idea for a thread. one thread where someone can go through and see many great visual styles and have the download links right in the same thread. :happy: my personal favourtie is HmmXP for various reasons. first of all, its simple, so simple yet still appealing and attractive to the eyes. i've been using it for so long now, its kinda my xp default. i will try out new themes, but i always revert back to HmmXP. download: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/5514034/ screenshot: look below.

xplatinum Posted June 10, 2004 Author Share Posted June 10, 2004 (edited) Ashen by Bant on this forum I would have posted it but Bant removed all the download links :( p.s: Even if it was there, I asked people to post a screenshot & link. Telling people to look for it isn't any help. Edited June 10, 2004 by xplatinum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
