dappleyard Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 Hey ThereWell, we've been working on it for the past week, and I'm pleased to say that StyleSuites is now live, at http://www.stylesuites.com.There is a fair amount of content on there (everything on the Milk theme, Cappuccino and Smooth Stripes), and we're working on adding more content all the time. If you have anything to add (and I'm sure you all will), then please click on "Submit your Work" at the top of the page. Even if it isn't your work, let us know about it so that we can ask permission.It's been a privilege to work with Simon on this, and I hope that it will soon become the success we hoped it would!!Comments and suggestions would be much appreciated :who's your daddy: Link to comment
silencedge Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 It will be a success. I'm pretty sure it would, with the community behind you all the way... Some suggestions though. When I navigate to the suites section, there appear a number of clickable links. I'd suggest attaching a thumbnail to each of these for easier navigation, and for greater visual impact. (Just like the sub-categories.) In fact, adding a link to the relevant programs would spice things up even more. Darker fonts, I'm still squinting a little, yea, just a little though. I'd see if there's more when I have the time to enjoy your site! Great site there. Showing lots of promise! Kudos to dappelyard and Simon! :who's your daddy: Link to comment

sketching Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 It would be nice to link to the authors of the various resources whenever there is a name to be given credit to....oh yeah!I really love the minimal look, very easy to find the navigation links. Link to comment

spngbb Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 Hey your site is awesome It would be great if you could add these icons to your milk collection: Link to comment
dappleyard Posted January 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 Will do - Thanks for the offerBTW - A quick status update:> New "Popular Downloads" feature added> Text darkened (I think) Link to comment
dappleyard Posted January 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 Well, as our first day online draws to a close, we've had around 1400 hits from over 20 different countries. I think it's got off to a great start! - Let's try to keep it up....Bandwidth providing..... :naughty: Link to comment
silencedge Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 Seen the updated site. Very nicely done. And it's good news! (About the hits. ) Extremely promising. Link to comment
alang Posted January 13, 2004 Report Share Posted January 13, 2004 @simon & dappleyard - have some time to discuss about our collaberation? If you guys not interested I will just proceed it with my own and put a skins section on my site too :6 ....its good for community actually because they have more option but bad for us......more works and more money to pay for space and bandwidth...... Link to comment
dappleyard Posted January 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2004 @alang - do we currently host any files that you would like to take over if we collaberated, or are you interesting in taking over applications etc? Link to comment
kidrocky7 Posted January 13, 2004 Report Share Posted January 13, 2004 will the site have custom IE toolbar buttons? becuase i have been looking for some and i cant seem to find any besides Y's Toolbar and i really dont want to use that Link to comment

No...I plan to put applications, icons, system files and tools to modified windows and my site. So your site can cocentrate on skins and themes. You can added more skins section, like skins for savanna, icq, trillian, yztoolbar etc. So that our site have a totally different materials......less headache and bandwidth usage......And then we just put a links on our site let say I will put a links on my site name Skins & Themes and when visitors click, it will direct them to your site and you put icon & application links on your site that will redirect visitors to my site..

dappleyard Posted January 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2004 @ Alang - I've PM'ed youI know this is early on down the line, but I can see a problem ahead of us....For example, last night alone (from the current 646 downloads) we transferred well over 1gb of data. We're only working with a 6gb/month hosting account. We've now got two options:1) Buy a hosting account with more bandwidth (eg the G5 special here - http://xitocreations.com/hostingspecials.php)2) Find a lot of mirrors.... quicklyWhat do you think that we should do? - Bearing in mind that any cash spent on funding this venture would be coming straight from our back pockets. <_< Link to comment
thefunky_monkey Posted January 13, 2004 Report Share Posted January 13, 2004 looking good!just add a bit more stuff (like y'z toolbar themes) and it will look like max's site, but for windows!simple, elegent, proffesional, a very good site. Link to comment
