After the numbers?

   This may be totally unnecessary, but I need to say it. There has been a lot going on in the forums lately about who skinned what, where they got the images, etc.

    Something was said about "download whores" that I feel needs my comment. First I would point out that 80% of the last 30 or so DX themes are mine. Some are better than others, some seem mass produced. I am not the best at what I do, that's for sure. But I am trying to get better at it, and trying to do more original work lately. There are several masters out there that have helped me along the way. This is greatly appreciated.

   Now, back to my point. I am trying to generate interest in DesktopX. I am not trying to garner downloads, not trying to "earn" karma. I want to inspire more people to try to create DesktopX themes. There seems to be a real lack of interest in DX that I hate to see because it is the main part of OD Ultimate that I love. I would hate to see DX go the route of Object Bar, tab launchpad, and some of the other almost dead apps.

    I do not feel that anyone has pointed me out, or bashed me in any way. I just know that it could look like I am after the download numbers, when all I really want is more attention/participation with DesktopX.

Jim thinks he's being made fun of
There's a thin line between making what people want and slapping something together with bad design and a title to garner downloads.  It happens in every gallery now and again.  I do not believe you are bieng targetted here.  :)

I know that I am not being targeted, and I know I'm being joked with. I try to joke back and sometimes it just don't come out right. This is a great community and you people are what makes it great. I am damn proud to be a part of it, and damn proud that any of you like my work!

I hope that's modesty and not a lack of confidence that I'm hearing!!!
You do good work Jim and I'm sure that your going to continue to get better at it!!!
Your ten times as good as me ( that's meant to be a complement, it might actually be
more than ten ) and I think that I'm improving, well, I think :NOTSURE:  anyway......
Once again, keep up the good work! :CONGRAT:
