Quoted for truth.

Winswy - The VS is pretty good. Wouldn't pay for it as those kinds of themes seem to be a dime a dozen just like the minimalistic ones, but I can see why people would like it.

[LiquidGUI]

I don't really know you Winswy and I am not a member of the "minimal" or "maximal" community, I see things I themes and if I like them I get it and critique it, and if I see things I don't like I just critique it. I have read this entire thread and looked at your themes, free and paid, and this one you are working on right here. First off I will be honest, I don't like the theme. I see you say that good "minimal" themes are a dime a dozen around here, deffinitly, but there are about just as many "maximal" themes, just less in the Neowin community.

I mean these types of themes are quite common on a site like ThemeXP. Generally with thick bevels, glassy buttons, large diffrences in colour. This is not a bad thing, but its not quality in my personal oppinion. There is no such thing as bad art, I could urinate on a canvas and one person may say "disgusting" but another may say "beautiful", this person may even buy it from me. This dosn't change the oppinion of the person that said "disgusting". they are just going to think the same. Even if 1000 people said "beautiful" there will still be just as many more that thinks "disgusting". Don't get angry at the people that think this is ugly, thats just what they feel, not what your theme is, also saying "I sold 1000 of those themes" is not the best of ideas to me. Its great that you are making money doing something you like and making themes you like to make, but don't use those people as a "haha, your wrong my themes are great, 1000 people bought them, they must be great.", because maybe a person that bought used it only for an hour and dislikes it.

Thats my 2 cents.

Have a nice day and keep on making themes.

it's ok. but, i don't think i would use it... they're right! you're getting mad over nothing they're just making suggestions mate! ChaNinja's themes are imaginative... well thought if you ask me. Just please please stop taking their suggestions the wrong way. if some one say something neg turn it into something positive. now im off to download sum themes from LS

Actually, my last two themes souluna remix and creampuff both received deviation of the day at deviantart, something that I never received with the crap I made before those themes, and those themes have had more downloads than anything ive made before.

I actually like your themes a lot (Y).

As for Winswy: This isn't a popularity contest. If you don't want to improve yourself, you'll never be able to improve your themes either :no: Themers release themes for other people to use, if you don't want advice on how to improve your themes, why even post this theme for negative opinions? :rolleyes: And as for 'I won't take advice from you' crap: that's just totally immature. :pinch:

[asdflkjsdrhthfhrhr]

ack! mine eyes!

[Winswy]

@ rj2k.. i improve my work by spending countless hours DOING it.. if someone who had actually produced a body of decent work was to offer some advice in a constructive manor i would actually and have been quite receptive.

sorry dude, bur very little of what any of you negative as$es says around here makes much of a difference on the outcome of anything i design, I understand there is going to be resentment towards me because i AM actually making money with my work, it's all good, what U don't realize is for every little snide remark i get from the usual suspects is doing nothing other than bumping my thread and getting me more hits.. for every assenine derogatory comment you make, theres 50-100 more people clickin right thru to my site.. that probably bothers you too huh?

Call what i do crap all u want, i could care less bro. My work is about to get me moved into a nice place and a secure future.

btw... 1 million hits in 2 mo. :)

I must be doing something right then i suppose? :rolleyes:

oh and @ alezeino, ur works not bad at all but to offer up a comment like.. "My God, No"

Thats just the kind of sensless remark that will put a person on the defensive. Think about it.. :yes:

Geez, don't get all offended because people don't think you're as hot s*** as you think you are. If you don't like peoples comments, how about you not post it. Simplest solution, less "omg you arent even on my level" comments. (Y)

Anyway the VS looks OK..

[mostasteless]

Awesome work man....Next one you make, instead of black n green, make it black n blue!!!

great visual style

[Winswy]

WIll be in Green , Red, and Teal, all Backlit LED. ;)

[Winswy]

Almost done..

[Winswy]

Couple of other windows and progress bar...

[Ran Sagy]

I think as an advice, you need to get a little away from the typical WindowBlinds blocky look.

You do have talent in creating styles & themes as seen before, but i think your insperation should come from somewhere else ;)

[Winswy]

WEll, honestly, i could make a quality VS of any type of concept, i personally prefer something with depth and have had more success with them as far as sales... i would however not mind entertaing the idea of making a VS based on perhaps a poll of what would be most popluar as far as color \ texture, shape...etc... that actually sounds pretty interesting, i may have to post a poll.

[Winswy]

Redesigned Taskbar and blue scheme, sorry for low qual image..lots a color means lots of K :(

Thanks for that constructive comment....why don't you troll elsewhere. Idiot :p

[jukeboxhero52]

the newer start menu is definately an improvement to the old one.

The only thing I don't like (about the start menu) is the word "controls", maybe a line of the LED-type lights to separate the sides or something. Its just personal preference I guess.

One thing that I would change is the minimize/close buttons It seems that your VS is mostly rounded, and having squares for those look wrong. I think it would look alot better if you used the same type button as seen in your log off/turn off your computer section of the start menu.

[Winswy]

yep, thankyou for your advice, i am definately considering that now as far as the caption buttons go, but their such a bloody pain in the rear :p

I just dont know about the controls issue, it looks a lot better in use than it ever does in a screen, ill think on that one a while tho.

thanks again,

and to.. StenvonW, you give my homeland a bad name my friend. Pitiful.

[insaneshaft]

my god, ur one of the most stubborn motherf'ers i've ever seen.

relax that ego, drop the pride and actually listen for a second. everyone says those 'negative' (your words) feedbacks for a reason, they don't just say it because it's fun to come in a winwsy thread and repeat for the 50 billionth time: it's too glossy/bevelled/cheesy.

now i expect you to retort with sales figures or how much effort you spend not listening to people who know a lot more about design that are actually trying to HELP, yes help you. for what reason is beyond me when all you do is get defensive & ego-trip about product that clearly isn't 'all that' to anyone who has a clue about good, functional design.
