I would like to see " Screenshot of the Day " return
to the way it was before , with a daily shot and your
Gold Star for the effort , some people here put a lot
of time and effort into their screenies to "show off"
the Artist work and should be re-warded i believe for
their contributions to this web-site !!

anyway that's my 2 cents worth !

What Happened To It?


The Daily shot is still on the bottom of the gallery tab page but was showing same shot for 4 weeks.

That is one thing I will always agree with AZ. The Screen Shots are always nice to look at and its the one place the skinners get to see their work being used. I enjoy watching how different people set up their desktop using the same blinds and elements.

Maybe one day they will put it back or at least change the shot on a daily basis.
But, sadly, space on front page is like prime real estate.

I kinda liked seeing the shot of the day - haven't noticed it for weeks. Must be the change in design. You know, if enough people ask for something people will listen

Yea! Put it back up!

Was the Daily Shot always there at Stardock?
I never sign in that way. Did the Daily shot change on that page and just didn't update on the WC end ? I saw same shot for 4 weeks on WC.

We want it the WAY IT WAS! Stardock knows how important ScreenShots are. Tell us about it.

Jim: We want it the WAY IT WAS! Stardock knows how important ScreenShots are.


Well, lets start by asking them.....

Im sure they know that its important for people that do not skin to be part of the sites activities. Screen shots are a way for everyone to participate and there is a difference between a so-so screen shot and a GREAT screen shot. It gives everyone a chance to see items they missed and things off the web that others are sharing.
Screen shots are also a beginning step to skinning. Little by little people learn to 'tweak' a bit here and there, customizing their own desktop until they feel confident enough to try their hand at making something and uploading it to the site.

Many skinners are born in the Screen Shot Section.

I can work with one daily screenshot but screenshots as a whole irritate me.
  1. Many (most) don't document what componants make them up so then I have to ask and wait for a reply to get the same look and feel
  2. Some screenshotters spam the library and that chaps my hide
  3. The arguement that they are the "gateway drug" to more formal skinning stikes me as false
If I had my way (and I never do) I'd say whack the screenshots gallery and put that attention into themes. Get permission from the artists of the elements of the desktop, package them up as a Theme Manager theme and THEN post them.

OK, screenshots of skinners hard work is crap! (Sarcasm)

Many (most) don't document what components make them up so then I have to ask and wait for a reply to get the same look and feel


You would like the average patron to document components. So what is WinCustomize but the documentation of skins. I don't put a screenshot up so you can duplicate it. I put it up because I am proud of it. It is common courtesy to put who did the skins for the credit of that individual that made the skin.

Some screenshotters spam the library and that chaps my hide


Is this not the reason for going through moderation? Try getting a wall through with spam.

# The arguement that they are the "gateway drug" to more formal skinning stikes me as false


I agree with you here somewhat.

I beleave Brad has said that this site is for the community. We, those who use/make, are all the community. I am an Artist. My hobby is drawing and painting. I do not have time to invent skins. Maybe someday when I retire I will. Maybe, just maybe, I will do a skin because I was inspired by a sreenshot....then maybe not.

Just my opinion. {/rant off}
