I recieved this email today from a young lady.

If your themes are the best that XOOPS has to offer, the cms is in a LOT of trouble. How could you create something so half arsed and childish looking and offer it to the public? I am using 2.0.16 and your themes suck using that XOOPS version. Maybe it's time to go back to the drawing board, or just give up completely. Trust me, us girls know crap when we see it.

Personally, I love it. It just reconfirms that you are doing something right when you start getting hate mail.

Hey it's just an opinion.
Just remember the school that needed the color theme.



No big deal Will.

Now that wasn't very lady like of her.

At the very least they said something, otherwise you might have start thinking they liked your work.
Some dream of success, while others wake up and work for it.

lol, indeed.

I was laughing so hard this morning when I read it. Like ^^ said, just one opinion so I'm not taking it to heart. Just thought it was hilarious and wanted to share.

________

On a side note, there really aren't too many active theme developers here at XOOPS. So on that point she was right. However, I never claimed to be the "best", If anyone is the "best" currently I would have to say Kris.

However, its free. Its also different. There is not a single XOOPS theme that looks anything like Hazard, or Brighthost.
I just want to encourage more graphic rich designs. Sure they may need a little work to work for you, but hell I gotta family.

Example:

A while back, I was asked by Catz to design a theme for Zarilia. I jumped at the chance. Then to my knowledge Zarilia went into an idle state. I had only drawn a single theme at that point, and was planning on doing a bunch more, but oh well.

So i had this template just sitting here, and decided to code it up for XOOPS... then my woman and I had a baby.

3 months later..

Resized Image


Still isn't done

Again, never seen a XOOPS theme that looks like this, and if I don't get a little spare time, perhaps never will.

By some standards it may "suck", but there may be one user, that falls in love with it.

Just my opinion.
