Yay....100,000 downloads....

you have to have at least fixed 100,001 spelling errors!

well you put a hundred monkeys in a room with a hundred typwr.... oh thats another thread hey jafo how many times you DL ?

Ah. The power of grey...

Congrats, Jafo

.... I know! I know! Include a free Jafo lightstep original and "Trapped in Bryceworld" with every windowblind and wallpaper download..... that will Take you into gazillions!

HEH... but you really should have seen Jafo's "Trapped in Bryceworld"! That was something else! I am looking forward to his upcomiong stuff, too! I think I read that some new stuff is coming!

congratulations, passed them a while ago, I am now at: 133603 downloads... (have to get some new stuff online, only have 400 downloads a day...)
But again:

Congrats BTW I'm missing trapped 6&7. I have 1-5 and 8.

What irks muchly is that the works in Windowblinds seemingly attracting the most attention/downloads are utterly uninspiring drivel, nothing more than a re-hashed standard XP interface....no imagination or creativity involved, just pump out another colour combo and call it a 'catch-phrase' name.

Is it really a fact that 'Joe Average' really DOES like 'average' skins, when there is available creative works like 'Borg', and other older works which may not be fully WB4 compatible but at least show a spark of creative individuality.

Just imagine the fame and fortune awaiting me were I to name my next Bryce 'disaster'..."Still trapped in XP Professional".....killa success - the name is sooo important...

jafo - this used to be a standing joke in aerospace: "Sorry that you're all laid off lads, but management has shifted your funding to a program with a much cooler sounding acronym."

BKB...yes, I've heard that one....

squillian ain't even in the dictionary buddy (atleast I don't think so? I'm sure not looking cuz that's your job) but congrats to you hooray!
lots of grey lovers, now maybe you can move on to the color black? hehe

squillian = squillion (well maybe squillion is) hehe
I know you got this board rigged Jafo cuz I make the mostest spelling errors here.

Hey....Congrads Jafo!
Given a lot of your downloads are of the Litestep variety, that's a very impressive number.

I would only have to assume that 100,000 downloads of a skin/skins or a/and a program that I never even heard of before
coming to this website is an impressive feat.... congratulations, Jafs....
You da man...
go for it, mah bruthah....

especially since they are gray, for god's sake...
did I happen to mention that I hate grey, gray and certain shades of... guess what?
might be gray...

There is a small but decicated following of people who object to grey....

'dessicated'?, perhaps....

Hmmmm... good point there, a distinct possibilty and 'oh, so boring'..

Sorry, I just have an aversion to gray....

"...utterly uninspiring drivel, nothing more than a re-hashed standard XP interface....no imagination or creativity involved, just pump out another color combo and call it a 'catch-phrase' name."

From Aqua on, there seems to be a need to emulate the next OS before the rest of the world can buy it, or just appear to have a different one without buying it.

It reminds me of the kits they sell for cars; a sports car body to put onto a Volkswagen or some such. A very 'poseur' thing to do, in my opinion, anyway. If you like sports cars, the appearance is gravy, the real admiration is reserved for the mechanics. To me, an Aqua interface is pretty, but it is like driving a Volkswagen disguised as a ferrari... or more accurately mechanically, a vw bug disguised as a vw scirocco. The XP and Longhorn stuff I understand even less, since there isn't even anything especially eye-catching about them.

I don't mean any disrespect to the skinners that do work based on such. People want it, you give it to them. Why people want it when there are far more beautiful and individual styles, though, is beyond me. I got disgruntled about the time Aqua started catching on, and I have had a hard time doing much since. Several others seemed to have slowed their production since then, too. Maybe we just got disgruntled with the audience?

Never thought there were so much 'grey lovers' maby I should try making some gray

There's nothing wrong with grey skins, though some people seem to react badly to them. Here's a couple of favourable comments from two of my grey skins:

1) Dude, there's a dif between 'clean' and 'sparse' this plain gray stuff depresses me.

2) I believe that when the majority of a skin is either battleship gray or silver....something is lacking in one's imagination. Turn the colors UP (puke icon censored)

You can't please everyone all the time...

Oddly enough, my two grey skins amass 30000 downloads between them - so someone out there likes grey

Ya know?.....One's on exactly 12000 downloads....and not one comment....yes, I know....it's ONLY been there for a year and a half....
