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.

Using Docks, backgrounds, zoomers, tabs, .icos, .pngs, docklets, wig-wags, wam-wams, and zu-zus on an hourly basis, on two and/or more PCs. I check daily for specific items: backgrounds esp.
Why no specific category, "Object Dock Backgrounds", "Object Dock Docklets"? DX has "Themes", "Objects", "Widgets". We/I need it.

Thanks Seldomseen!   Would be nice for a change to have a library specifically dock backgrounds & docklets.   Maybe if enough people bitch about it something might get done.

*shakes his head*...how did I ever forget those....must mean I've exceeded the daily limit.

For those of you that have recently commented...Thank you. It's nice to see that others feel the same way that WG and I do. I'll keep making them if you keep downloading them.

again, let me stress, I can get behind the effort to split up the gallery into sections, I think it's a fantastic idea! also, again let me stress that the docks, backgrounds, & zoomers created by WG, messiah1, cavan and these other fellas are some of the most fantastic creations one could ever download from any site.

I got a little too heavy with the transparency, WG and it vanished!

Wow...I thought I was the only one who wondered why individual icons/png's that SHOULD be part of a package are quickly overwhelming every other submission!

Not at all sure how I missed this thread before...But I agree w/ WG - browsing through the OD gallery for dock backgrounds can be frustrating...I would very much like to see a OD background gallery! One other thought WG & Messiah(since you two are so good at backgrounds), I'd sure like to see more "generic" dock backgrounds, as opposed to matching a WB skin...I personally get tired of every windowblind I try quickly, and just find myself changing to another one WAY too often...kinda cuts back on productivity! (and drives my wife absolutely CRAZY!!). I always seem to find myself back to good 'ol Win98 interface.

Thanks Brokensquare!

As for generic backgrounds...there are several...which are most likely buried in the ObjectDock library
Here's a few you might want to check out.

Clearness

Transparent This one has several different colors to it.

I have some others I haven't uploaded yet...but because of how the library is being allowed to be overrun by icon/png I don't think I'll be uploading anything else to the library. I will be uploading to other sites though. If they ever wake up and fix the library then I might start uploading here again. But no point now when the work I do gets buried and never seen again. Who wants to wade through tons of icons/pngs to find the dock backgrounds that are buried deep in the library?

If you send me an email mynick@msn.com I have a few others I'll send you to try out that I'm sure you'll like. It's ones that I use for just about any skin.

I agree there should be an ObjectDock background gallery, many a time my docks have been buried by pngs and icons, never to be seen! Other sites have galleries for OD backgrounds and tabs, how hard would it be to make a gallery just for dock backgrounds?  Thanks WG, messiah and bandit for all the docks you guys take the time to make!
on Jan 18, 2007
I want a background gallery

word up!

Thanks John! And your docks as well are a great addition to the library, so don't leave yourself out! It's just a shame they only get seen for a day or 2 and the the invasion starts all over again.

And thanks to you Bichur & Seldomseen. Would have been nice to get a library for dock backgrounds & docklets as well...but I ain't holdin my breath anymore. I will have some new docks uploaded at skinning.net & skinnalicious.net...but there won't be any new ones here until things change. I may even surrender the ObjectDOCK library to the icon/pngs since my docks are pretty much dead in the water after awhile...so no point for them to even be there taking up bandwidth...and since its not my site I have no say in what happens here...so much for "community support."
