Have A Nice Day! :)
Better moderation and guidelines needed

I'm curious as to why the "Objectdock" library is being flooded with submissions from the "Misc Icons" library that clearly are not "Misc Icons?" Shouldn't these be two different libraries? They are both starting to look the same lately. And doesn't "Misc" mean just that...misc...as in the odd icon? It seems that whole Icon packages are either broken down, or not packaged and submitted as "Misc Icons" instead of them being packaged and submitted as a package to the "Iconpackager" library, which if you look through the library of "Objectdock" you can see there is nothing "Misc" or odd about many of these icons...since they could easily make up a whole package. It's as if I'm watching Mormegils icon tutorial all over again.

Well...hopefully the site changes being asked for in the front page news will include fixes for the libraires!

I'll be the one to say it. After all the attention this thread got, it wasn't enough. The Dock creators did not get what was asked for in a separate section for docks only. The perfect time to do this would have been with the new release of WC. What happened? Who knows. We don't have the pull...WC is a great site and it would be a shame to lose someone with the talents of WebGizmos. My two cents...

Don't sell yourself short Messiah! You've contributed some great stuff to the ObjectDock library and it would be a shame to lose you as well.  Its pretty obvious now that the ObjectDock library or the dock creators that contributed so much to it aren't all that important to WinCustomize...at least not where docks are concerned. And here all this time I was thinking I was supporting the site and the software...it just wasn't supporting us. We upload some docks and get hammered by icon/pngs then they get buried and forgotten. Funny how they justify having the icon/pngs in that library because they are used with ObjectDock...but yet you don't see 1 dock in any of the icon libraries. I guess soon we'll be seeing them all over the libraries since they are used with everything else as well.

WG, thanks. I wonder if anyone out there really cares...most are users looking for something to enhance their desktop. Do they understand the time that goes into making and testing a tabbed dock...probably not for most.  I don't want to bash anyone, don't get me wrong. I make the docks for you people. But like WG said, it's very frustrating to work hard on something and in some cases, it doesn't get much notice. Sure, most regular users will actually go to the personal page but what get's someone new to a personal page? Seeing that dock in the "should be only dock backgrounds" Object Dock category.

Somehow I get the feeling we're talking to ourselves Messiah!

yup.

Kilo is always listening!

I'm probably considered one of those regular users and yes I visit both of your sites for docks.

Your points are valid and I do wish there was a seperate category for the backgrounds.

Anyway, the efforts you put into these do not go unappreciated.

Maybe in the future something can be done to benefit both sides.

Thanks Kilo! Your input is always appreciated!

I don't use ObjectDock, but I might when I can afford the + version. I want you all to know I appreciate the work you do.
I personally would have seperate galleries for you but I don't run the site.

Chat or IM is faster....



Put me down as another one who appreciates the stuff y'all put out.
