What Happend to the Idea of a new WinCustomize Page Design

As far as i remember it was in the talks that there would be a new WC page Design comming up back in 2013.
Is that still in planning or was it passed over?

I also remember there were supposed to be 3 Subscriber skins a year. Last one's I see are from 2009. Maybe use the My Colors themes for that since no one can use them any more.

2 cents

Subscribers skins were discontinued years ago when the subscription price was lowered.

There was a suggestion thread posted a while ago, that's about it.

I remember that thread ID, but what was the purpose of it if nothing was ever done?  o_O

Well, I have one suggestion. As a recent owner of a touch screen monitor, I can tell you that this site could use a few tweaks in the touch dept.

 

 

For one... the edit, view edits, report, reply, and karma buttons that show only on mouseover are impossible to use on a touchscreen PC.

Also, with a touchscreen, the controls that allow you to unsubscribe from a thread do not work. Because they only show on mouseover.

You forgot to remind yourself to uncheck the box. I think your brain has been "touched".

  On my Windows 8 machine, desktop PC, with a Samsung touch monitor, I can't operate those buttons that only show on mouseover. Long pressing brings a right click, there is no way to hover, then click with a finger.

I can switch to mouse, but that negates the touch experience.

 

Would be sweet if a/the new WinCustomize were made touch friendly.  :beer:

 

Even that beer had to be repositioned. Using the finger to place it puts it at the beginning of the reply.

in Android and iOS those appear when you tap the bar under the post. that's of course far from being touch-friendly, but it might be worth a try in Windows also.
