how come bsetroot makes the styles more sophisticated??? i dont get it...

I have mixed feelings about the wpaper issue. It is true that a great wall will attract attention and probably get more clicks than a bsetroot; however, it's also true that the more sophisticated styles are usually over a bsetroot background. I personally am turned off by girlie walls, so I may miss an otherwise good style that is upstaged by a girlie wall. My prejudice assumes that the style will be "immature." I'd love to see more bsetroot backgrounds.

I agree 100% with zen. I'm much more likely to check out a bsetroot style then I am a busy wallpaper style. It takes more creativity to do a bsetroot style. I find them much more usable because more time was spent on color and design than on matching colors in a wall.

auto: i think maybe im arrogant but i kind of feel that a fellow style author is going to notice a graet bsetroot style a little quicker then the average user who might respond otherwise to say... a girly wall.. etc.

I think walls have a lot to do with drawing attn when brwsing thumbs. U can't really see the style at that size, so the wall sells it. Sometimes i create a bsetroot bg or replace teh wall if i like teh style but not teh wall. A good bsetroot can be just as exprssive as a well chosen wall, and is usually less distracting. Styles married to a spcific wall are nice, but waht do u do when wall dosn't really match or wall isn't available? Then teh style is not so usable.

gm, thewayofzen, you are right.. wpaper must suit style, and stye must suit wpaper. wpaper makes style more expressive, for example some styles wouldn`t look so beautifully if they hawn`t wpaper they have on a screenshot. and one more thing - somebody is a wpaper fan and likes to get some uncommon walls in his /hdd ^__^

I agree with you there, ive seen some styles that i thought were awesome just fly under the radar due to the lack of a flashy wall to go with it.

Another questions.. how many style authors feel as though sometimes.. positive comments they get are more because of the wallpaper then the style itself. I just seem to notice.. after 119 styles that some of the styles im most proud of are bsetroots that barely anyone notices.. and i wonder perhaps if this is because the lack of a snazzy wall to draw a mouse click out of someone might be to blame... anyone else agree? when u look at a style .. i can understand it being a combination of style AND wall.. but surely im not the only one who sometimes thinks some really good styles get overlooked

Yknow, i found it really amusing to see the 32 bit version working on 98SE. i also find it just as hilarious that this still runs even on windows 11 machines.

Pitkon: I can't add comments either; I click submit and it just flips to only showing the sidebar, then doesn't proceed from there. Brian?
