a request for masterskin page layout

April 14, 2010 8:23:02 PM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums

I would like to ask them site codin' people to put the other 2 screenshots under the main thumbnail like the soon to be old site has them.

I had to make 3 screens,1 for each OS because the upload balked at a single screenshot of 1920x3600.Only the main 1 for win7 is showing on the beta site.

Even better would be to show all 3 thumbnails the same size...but that might be being greedy. I hoped people could see all 3 screens because not only did they show specific operating systems but the different styles and colors too...cant fit all that on 1 screen.

The way it is now they would think there was only one style and 1 color.

Thanks code peeps.

Not just that, but have the thumbnail actually be the same as the full size image (but smaller), not just a cropped version of the upper left corner.

Example, Cypress: https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.aspx?skinid=7116&libid=1

Look at the bottom 2 thumbs, what the heck is that supposed to be? The first thumb there's nothing shown at all, and the second one you can *barely* see the top of a window, that is until you click on it to see the full size shot.

Does it on the home page and main gallery page too. It doesn't matter once the other site goes live...although the right side of all those thumbnails are cut off too.

yeah it is a bit hard trying to shove everything from 3 os's into one screenshot that can only be a certain size, I certainly cant upload anything bigger than 1920x1080 it just gets rejected every time.

I would like to see something better too. It just serves everyone's interest in the long run.

Bump.  This is something that (I think at least) is pretty darn important to have.

I have had several large SS rejected but I found it went through  by changing file size without changing screensize.I went back and saved at 96% quality setting and it reduced file size by 40% reuploaded and it went.

I know that does not quite fix anything but I had it comfirmed later that it is a file size limit not a image size limit.

I do agree there needs to be a workable option it was easy enough when we only had to skin 1 OS but now we need space!!!

it looks like the system will need some major changes to accommodate this, I will still try to do it just know it may take a little time.  Unfortunately it is not going to be as easy of a fix as I had hoped.

ok,the links are there...thats good...but at the risk of being whiny Mc weinerstien,you would barely know thats what they were or that they were active.

Not much there to encourage someone to click them. I guess when I update it for final Ill try to shove more into the main screeny.
