Categorize by theme

I'm really digging this site but it would be very cool if there was a forum where themes were grouped by style... so if someone were looking for Milk, they could just go to that sub-forum and see all available Milk skins. I know StyleSuites does this but it seems there are alot more variations out there than what is shown on their site.

I it's stupid to have a sub-forum for every theme. Is it that hard to use the search box?

#318063

It's not _the_ most idiotic request ever, I think we've all seen a few dumber ones.

But I do agree in principle though. I mean, seriously, what do you think the search box is for in the upper right? You want stuff that has to do with milk, just type in milk and hit enter and -voila- they all appear, like magic.

Sorry guys... if I do a search on Milk, it comes up with every single post that mentions Milk and not just the specific themes... And then there are theme sets that I'm not even aware of. I didn't really find the request that lame and, yes, I have tried searching.

@GruvSyco: try searching for "milk visual style" or "milk windowblinds," that'll narrow the search down a lot.

How about a little theme database that's separate from the forums?

Yeah, I get it, and then search Milk Firefox, Milk Object bar, Milk Icons... and so forth. My suggestion was basically to make it easier for people, that would like to theme all one style, to more easily find all their components. Besides, a search still doesn't really help with themes that I'm not yet aware of. Until this last week, I had only known of a few guys that are really working on "Aqua Style" themes but it seems there are quite a few different guys porting stuff from guikits and developing their own.

The request wasn't out of laziness... I actually have a fairly complete Milk setup (I was only using that as an example). I just thought it would make things alot easier for hunting down other complete sets of themes.... Like ProLCD, Shinobi, etc. It also appears that the StyleSuite site will not be updating any longer.

It could also aid in the development of complete themes as well... If you went to this hypothetical new sub-forum... it would "probably" be easier to spot what isn't available like a Firefox skin and might inspire someone to creat that skin.

Anyway.. it was just some thoughts. I'll move along.

@admins/mods: laughing at every friendly suggestion is no way to run a community. just a friendly suggestion.

I'm suprised Timan has installed a bot to do admin work by replying to every post with:

"Search the forums" or "your stupid: Thread Closed"

It's a good thing Unbe isn't trying to make a dock or Finder clone--he'd end up destroying our computers with faulty programming!

Yeah. Lucky you :P

Anyway, i'm getting sick of this so-called community so some of my "well-wishers" might get a reason for party soon.

Well actually GruvSyco, if you look at A-S' homepage (www.aqua-soft.org), there's a news page that reports on new themes, and if there's a Firefox skin and icons and such it'll have links to those as well, check it out.

Topic closed.

Please do not criticize mod's comments/decisions in threads like this. If you want to do it - please go to Comments & Suggestions subforum.

After all, Unbe's a human too, he can make mistakes sometimes too.

@GruvSyco: try www.stylesuites.com or learn how to search, I promise it's worth it. We've got hella lot of knowledge lying around these forums ;)
