It's good to express yourself and if your comment had some value I might have learned something. Instead, you criticize something you have not done your homework on and
you know nothing about.
These c-series were part of a XP theme set - displaying 4 basic colors of Windows and it was created based on a request, sadly not to your taste. Well, that's your cue. Actually, if you'd spent more time looking at my work rather than writing about something you don't have a clue, you'd notice vast variety in all my categories like Logons, Walpapers, Icons, WindowBlinds, Bootskins, etc. Despite the fact that these recent four submissions have the same background, they all require different and meticulous work. Not that you'd know. Then, there are people who do like to choose from more colors, because not everyone has the same taste and they are in my mind when creating something
FOR THEM.
Now I normally don't do this but you've asked for it. I've checked your "creations" and let me tell you,
where do you come off to call my work ugly, and my gradients "standing out harshly" and colors "awful on the eyes?" 
Have you recently checked with your optometrist?
Telling me to design my own??? All my submissions are totally mine.
You, on the other hand, have one logon that you weren't even able to create on your own. A theft of a longhorn picture, terribly brushed, and colors are just "stunning" (to you maybe); have you noticed the beautiful gradient work?
I didn't tell you to like my work, but don't call it what it isn't and don't be rude and jerk about it. Instead just express yourself in a decent way or just pass. I did just just that while visiting your posts. BTW,
your comment is not appreciated.
