Maybe one solution that would fix all this is an "XP" section of the site where all things XP reside. I'm not a huge fan of the XP design in general, it's too chunky, but a lot of people do like it. The problem for me comes when I go to look through a section, and citing ObjectBar as the worst, there's NOTHING but XP skins which are all identical apart from colour. I don't mean to disrespect the authors, as I'm all too aware of the amount of work it takes to put a skin together, but themes that are changed so minorly should either be updated or released in a single pack. Enough variations of XP WindowBlinds/ObjectBars/DesktopX already.

...Like on deviantart ? where you can but all your deviations into one pack ? This would be an idea to be able to do that sort of thing here I think

I did have a word with one of the OB Luna Authors and encouraged him to do some other work now as people are fed up of all this XP stuff. Particulary in the OB section. He promised he would

Anyway Even if many authors within the community hate XP, and I think I know why by now, the public do like it. A site such as this should have variaty and if people want their PC to look like an OS then thats up to them. Variation is needed yes, that is why I also see now that XP has been flogged to death, but it seems XP will be around for a while longer yet. Although the fact is is that once XP is here I dont think there will be as many XP releated skins. Implimenting new idea's now just to find ways of hiding an XP style skin is a futile Idea in the fact that XP will not be dominating the Community forever, and this is only a short term craze that has happened. Give it time people, and things will return to normal.

..Another thought springs to mind also, and I was just talking to another skinner about this, on messenger, is that when XP arrives what is the BET that people dont use Luna !

They will search Microsofts themes download site for different ones. Other than Luna and yes it is to blame on the fact that people took their enthusiastic idea too far.

Another interesting thing I just heard about MS is that they wont be allowing the software Skinning programs to do theme's for XP, out to people other than Software developers ? What ! This seems a bit unfair...

Yes, that was the plan with XP all along. I remember reading when the first beta was released that it was a "fully skinnable OS", but so people didn't make skins that would presumably cause problems for the OS, Microsoft would be the only maker of these skins, because as we all know, when it comes to writing flawless software, MS is infallible

forget all the XP and rating stuff for a moment... I personaly only want to see skins I like when I go to different sections! Now how can this be possible? Well either with rating or to avoid a huge discusting rating discussion with a checkbox to mark skins visbile or hidden on personal account level!
So I hide (rate bad, cause I don't like) a skin, therefore I ('I') don't see it the next time I go to the according section.
That should be easily possible and reversible.
