Just my thoughts....
Why is this happening?
Published on February 12, 2011 By RedneckDude In WinCustomize 2011 Feedback

It seems lately, whenever I upload several skins, one will always go to moderation.

As a Journeyman, this shouldn't happen.

 

Why does this happen, and could someone please go push my Concept LCD Weather Gadget through? It shouldn't be there to begin with.

 

Please and thank you.

It is NO different than someone who makes 5 different wallpapers for a theme, or 5 different docks for a theme, etc.

Very different, a wall is a wall, 5 walls of different sizes are still the same wall.

But a CLOCK widget is not the same as a METERS widget. Two very different things.

 

I'm sorry, I said I was done here....

 

Thanks guys!

I don't see an issue with gadgets/widgets being upped separately as they are stand-alone apps.  It's the way the MS OS handles them.

The daily upload limit is in place [for all] to help handle inadvertent 'flooding', that's all.

It's no great drama to have others [more than the five] separately accepted by the Mods, particularly in RND's case where he's fixing these old weather gadgets.

As they say...no harm...no foul.

I recently approved 30-odd relocations...all at once...for the new Dock background gallery....same thing applied....and if set by an admin/mod the effect of 'flooding' can be overcome by altering the upload date/s....

Steve, before you throw stones remember that you uploaded the following which could/should have been bundled.

Rusty Rooster 4 subs.

Universe Metal 4 subs.

3 Cinnabars, 3 CopperDecks, 3 Darths....etc. Just saying

Just a quick reply to this...since it's gone the way of nitpicking now. If the option were there to actually have "subs" they would have been packaged that way...but since I can't do that with "Winstep" they each have to be uploaded as 1. You find a way to do it that way Jim and consider it done!

Steve, I didn't mean to nit pick, it was to make a point.

 

My Menubar DX has 8 substyles, 8 different DX themes, all zipped into one file. The weather for it is the same, 8 versions in one download. Winstep themes could be zipped in multipacks.

Winstep themes could be zipped in multipacks.

I'll make a deal with you then...pack all your widgets and gadgets into one package (not meaning widgets and gadgets together) and I'll do the same! People might not be happy without being able to auto install them from the site then but oh well.

 

I have often in my zeal to try and help with a given question or problem opened my mouth before engaging the brain.

You mean like now?

I would suspect and expect if any one of us were violating rules of uploading to the site that the folks running the site would make contact with us so that we could correct it. I also expect it to would not be in a forum thread.

Only a few people made the reference to violating any rules...yourself and RND. I made a point of calling this a "discussion" and never mentioned anything about rules or TOS's being broken...in fact this wasn't even about either of them. So...unless you specifically see that said and/or mentioned...please don't bring it up or even suggest it. It just creates a hostile environment.

Stardock has a program called Theme Manager. One of it's options is to build suites for a given theme. When skins like wallpapers or docks are combined in an upload there is not a way to tell Theme Manager which wall resolution or which particular dock to download and apply. If there is I haven't found it.

That program doesn't install or apply docks...I figured you of all people who posts all these themes together on one page should have known that.

I'd like to see all the widgets and gadgets associated with a theme put in one package, and here's why: I have a folder with all the screenshots of things I download, as well as separate folders for each category of item. On top of that, I keep a written record (subdivided into categories) of each download. From a time standpoint, it's a real pain to have to download and catalogue everything separately. If, and when, I need something, it's all in one place. Not including a weather widget in a DX THEME makes sense, considering the fiasco of the past, but separating all the individual widgets/gadgets has caused me on many occasions to just not bother because I'm too lazy to go to the trouble, and I don't want them badly enough to do so.

Umm, I think Jafo addressed this earlier.

I feel I speak for most here, As long as WC don't mind, we the users love your skins no matter how you upload them.

ok.

For some reason some Master/JM skins are going into the mod Q's.  Must be a glitch in the system somewhere.

I promise to try to be a tad less impatient. Shit happens, and all in all, the new site has grown on me and a bug here and there ain't so bad.

 

And to the mods doing the push throughs, thanks guys, you all do a great job here!
