WinCustomize 2K9 concepts

Published on January 16, 2009 By Frogboy In OS Customization

The new WinCustomize is going to be a radical departure from what we have today.

In the web 2.0 age, we can do a lot of interesting things that should greatly improve the navigation of the site. The days of clicking, waiting for the page to load, clicking, waiting for the page to load and so forth will go away.

Instead, the site will feel more akin to a desktop application. Want to see the most popular skinners, click on tab and it'll expand to show it.

The site will end up being far cleaner, far faster, and far easier to use than what we have today.

Me thinks all this banter is mainly moot. I think the decisions have been made and the format is basically done.IMHO.

lol Ed, I reckon it's all done as well, they're just easing us into it under the guise of previews

Personally though I'd like to see a fully working core site before any extra's or new ideas were considered.

Not SD's style, if past is prologue.

Should be great in any event. Looking forward to it.

Forgive me if anyone mentioned this aready, chose to jump straigh to the end to ask. Would this concept for WC be considered for the JU website as well? I mean, I know there is no downloading on that site but the tab concept sounds great.

please, dear Lord... or.. Brad.. as the case may be.. bring back 'last post read' function.

Having to constantly click last page and then scroll down to the bottom should be unheard of on todays forums.

I totally agree. This is the only site I know of that uses that terminology and it's totally confusing.

Yep Bebi, I remember back at Invisionize, and.. well.. every other forum I've been to, and run, it really is confusing

Ahh . . the joy of having a newsgroup heritage. (news://news.stardock.com) It may be archaic. . but I like it!

Works fine here.

Hasnt worked for me since it stopped working months and months ago... anyone else?

Doesn't matter what thread I open.. always always... page 1. Of course in the main forum u can click last post.. but that only takes u to the last post..not the last one u read. and I usually navigate from the Recent Activity list anyway... page 1 everytime.
