[quote]Perhaps I could have chose a better word than lazy, extrememly simplified maybe, barely any actual work involved in the areas in question ...maybe.. [/quote] Again - your condescending tone here is absurd. I ask again, just who are you to be passing judgment on his work? And don't try to take the high road, you were being an assh*le, plain and simple. It wasn't 'this isn't my cup of tea, I would have done it differently', it was 'he did it poorly and I do not deem this work worth

[quote]Certainly seems that way. Never a good business stance to think your customers are too dumb to know any better and thus don't deserve to see everything since "they don't know what all this is anyway."[/quote] Nope - it just never occurred to us that this kind of thing would be an issue. I still assert that it is simply a non-issue to the vast majority. We just created the previews with the same criteria we ever have. There was never any intention to deceive.

[quote]...you've then proceeded to make quite a few comments that basically amount to "We think the vast majority of people are to stupid to know what they should be getting and so it doesn't matter whether or not we show them the stuff that isn't up to par."[/quote] No, what I'm saying is that these alleged 'deceptions' that keep being alluded to won't register as such to 99.99% of the people we'd like to reach, skin-enthusiasts and new users alike.

[quote]How to show theme elements without taking up much space... I figured being the professionals you are, you could have figured that out instead of playing the "only have so much space" card.

That's where Jeff and I differ - he prefers primaries, but I really dig these muted off colors... we argue this point often. Regardless, a la

[quote] I'd like to see anything you release that can do what ToonXP did , what 3 years ago ( BeOS styled titlebars ) , etc. I don't recall needing a OD sub for that bad boy ( although I have one )[/quote] If BeOS-style titlebars are that important to you, don't buy our stuff. It's that simple. Like I said, it's a 1.0 release. And again - it is what it is. I use it, I like it. Your mileage may vary. But what you or I think won't make a lick of difference to 99.99% of the people out ther

[quote]Learn how to take criticism.[/quote] There's constructive criticism (which I welcome), and then there's you. There is no constructivism in your tone, just negativity. I wonder if the great and powerful vStyler can learn the difference. [quote]The offer stands, put up or shut up.. kiddo.[/quote] Ooo - nice one with the kiddo rebound - you're not used to being owned, are you? Like I said, I have no time for pissing contests with lesser artists. This is fun though.

[quote]Feature comparisons at this stage are both unproductive and irrelevant.... to the inferior product... I bet they are.[/quote] Kiddo, you keep comparing apples and oranges... it's irrelevant.

Ouch - guess that hurt ;) I stand by everything I said jackass. And I'm simply too busy and care too little to participate in a pissing contest with you, not that I couldn't design circles around you in my sleep, hahaha. Not that you don't have skills - I never said that. I just said that what you have doesn't justify your hubris. Learn some humility and manners, that would serve you better. Oh, and I haven't heard you apologize to KoL yet. Be a big man, stop acting like a l

[quote]...As good ( subjectively ) as anything TSF has come up with stylisticly , yet supporting more features ( wb vs msstyles )[/quote] It didn't make sense to us or to our clients to expect the user to pony-up for both a WB license and a theme package. That isn't to say that we won't or haven't considered simultaneous releases in WB format. Hyperdesk is what it is, it was never meant to compete feature-by-feature with Windowblinds, nor was the intention to alienate our fellow WB user

vStyler- I've looked through your portfolio. There's some decent stuff in there – but nothing mind-blowing. Certainly nothing to justify your sense of righteous design indignation. I think you've let some good feedback go to your head. I've been at this for 15 years, commercially for 8. In that time I've pushed countless billions of pixels for some of the biggest companies in the world across millions of desktops. But you won't see me jumping around from forum to forum critici
