Since I contributed (well, kind of) to that thread I feel forced to reply: <br /> <br />/me reads <br /> <br />Hmm, I don’t really see any problem except you here. I´ll analyse the situation line by line for you: <br /> <br />1) You ask a question, you don’t really define your problem very clearly... <br /> <br />2) Snowman answers you, he also asks if the answer he gave is ok for your question <br /> <br />3) You state that Snowman’s answer was not what you where looking for and tell some things you already know <br /> <br />4) You again, now with a irritated tone since no one answered you within 12 hours or so <br /> <br />5) Snowman replies in a funny, but useless (for you, but you didnt redefine your question yet) way <br /> <br />6) You again, it seems you are ok with it <br /> <br />7) BruB redefines your question and asks if you are ok with it <br /> <br />8) You say you are (somehow) <br /> <br />9) You again, now saying something weird about verisign <br /> <br />10) You again, 5 days later now, still not happy with the non-solution you have and the non-reply of BruB (which is easy to understand since you weren’t exactly clear & friendly) <br /> <br />11) Me trying to be funny, I think I succeeded actually... <br /> <br />Anyway, this is how I see it. Maybe someone else sees it different,.. I don’t :) <br />

Don’t you people love this stuff?!!!! Its great, THIS is how a real forum should be, ranting, fighting, screaming, thinking, misunderstanding and a lot more that ends with "ing". Thanks for your input Orion, you made my minute (29minute of the 20th hour today)! <br /> <br />To all the other people that contributed to this line of posts: Thanks! I had fun, I hope you had fun too! <br /> <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Now comes the smilie: :-)

Another bit of advice: Slap not the faces of those who you would like to listen. <br /> <br />Insulting us nor the sites will get you any farther in that which you seek. All we hear is your fustration. <br /> <br />It´s also never persuasive to say "that´s just how I feel" and admit to not be able to back it up beyound that which has been refuted. <br /> <br />You also talk a lot about respect on different matters that you desire. You haven´t done much to express it to others. <br /> <br />I think this thread is close worthy now (actually a few posts ago, but who´s counting?). Not my call, but I wish I had a close button. >:} The guy isn´t going to listen. In fact, he´ll probly just take it the wrong way.

I see it the same way as PK does! <br /> <br />Do some research on your own, if no one else is able to help you - try the devs homepage (if any), try Google or simply just experiment

When you post replies like this ^^^ there´s no need for anyone to "insult your intelligence". You seem to be quite capable of doing that yourself. <br /> <br />Lighten up, dude.

well, seeing how im outnumbered here, there is not much more i can say or do. Perhaps I have "over-reacted". Thats an opinion, not mine. I really doubt you can find no room for improvement here. There is ALWAYS room for improvement. And this is no exception. As an administrator myself, I would never treat a serious question like this so hap-hazardly. <br />I take all questions posted very seriously and with respect to the fact that these people are sincere and not looking for jokes and bizzare so called "funny". <br /> <br />How can I be "wrong"? Its the way I feel. Like you, there is no right or wrong. If I or any other member here has a problem, regardless of YOUR feelings, they should be helped, redirected and respected for thier feelings. Period. <br /> <br />You asked for advice on how to improve this experience, well you got it. If you cant deal with it, dont ask. <br />It does not matter if you think this is lame, thats besides the point of this message board. <br />I asked for help, if you see any help fine, if not fine, but dont put me down cause you dont like the question or the response. <br /> <br />In all other areas this is an excellent site. I am proud to post my stuff here. There are some great people here. <br />But please dont insult my intelligence. I know how to run a forum.

I didn´t want to say anything, but I feel compelled to state that I feel that Orion totally overreacted to this whole thing.... sorry Orion, I respect your work, but I feel that you are wrong in this matter.... <br /> <br />

hmm .. after reading this and the other thread ..I really think you should learn to express yourself more accurate. <br /> <br />this is your original question : but I cant find how to ´batch convert´ a set of icons with the same color scheme. <br />you never mention that you want to change the colours of the set .. that´s something to be read between the lines. <br />you´ve got an answer to that question which .. of course .. isn´t what you wanted because the question wasn´t specified correctly. in your first answer to snowman you seem to be kind of annoied that he didn´t know that you were talking about batch conversion of COLORS, and your next post is not very friendly either : <br />what? <br />no smartass reply? <br />after a short humoreus turn in the thread there´s that question again : Can you just tell me if I understood your question right! <br />you´ve been asked that even twice .. and yet you didn´t rephrase your question <br />i have no idea about that link to verisign .. you got that by pm or mail i suppose .. but the next post is again quite unfriendly .. ok, hmmm, well, thanks for replying .. <br /> <br />seems kind of strange to me .. you get angry at people for not answering "your" question when it was you who didn´t put that right in the first place, you get angry and snappy again and again for people not answering you quick enough .. and now you´re opening a thread about having some respect ? <br /> <br />but anyway .. that iconstuff .. seems that that can be done with skinstudio .. find the how-to at JoeUser (i haven´t tried it yet so i don´t know if it really works) <br />

I didn´t saw any one who had treated your question as a joke! <br />I can´t understand why you think so... <br /> <br />As about the icon colors you have ask, the best and the only way is to change the colors one by the one. <br /> <br />No one said that making icons is easy, I must say it is the most difficult part in the skinning work. <br />Sometimes it takes hours to finish an icon or to say it in another way, it needs 20 times more time from a very good wallpaper and I am talking about just ONE icon. <br /> <br />There are no miracles for making easy icon sets. <br />I hope you have understood. <br /> <br />Don´t forget that all the authors of Skinbase are appreciating and respect the works of the other authors, because they know well how hard work it needs before any one can upload and share for free a work. <br />This is common to everybody dear ORION :) <br /> <br />You get upset for no reason! ;)

Red is right as usual (;-)) And to add to what he said: Use smilies in online text-based conversations... it can help sometimes :-) <br /> <br />And if you do,.. then dont use the "finger" smilie or so,.. I think your first post here is actually quite rude since you used it.

I didn´t even see anything out of line. o.O; <br /> <br />I think you need to remember that you loose 90% of what you say when in text. There is no tone, facial expression, or body language. They can completely change the meaning of any spoken word. <br /> <br />Sometimes you are going to think that a person is insulting you. It´s fine to ask then to clarify if they ment what they said how you think they ment it, but give them the benifit of the doubt. I know it´s what I would want, and I´m as often misunderstood as anyone (do unto others and such). <br /> <br />This thinking has prevented many problems for me, and helped me not to create ones that never existed. It´s just some friendly advice.
