Kona....the frame pic was just an example of how ratings have no bearing on effort/input....hundreds of hours were spent building/designing/tweaking that frame.....considerably more time and skill than the 'I was bored so I fiddled with Bryce' wall uploads we get daily...
Re the 'hanger'....the better quality front changers come in either clamp on and braze on styles....the latter requires a bracket to be brazed onto the seat tube at the ideal height for the chainset...and is slotted to allow minor up-down movement. When dealing with a non-standard wheel/frame geometry the hanger needs to be offset to allow for the different chainline, so a clamp on is next to useless...
bucben, I am not the one who moderated it, but I can tell you why it was given a "5" from moderation (or at least why I would have moderated it at that or lower). Please also remember that I work a lot with DesktopX since I work at Stardock, so I know what a well put together theme should look like:1) The background is extremely low res. and looks like it was borrowed from a pic someplace on the net.2) The "grass" of DWM is "borrowed" and oddly colored and oddly placed (looks slapped on, not carefully placed).3) The bottom bar is resolution dependent and gets extremely wonky if not at the resolution that it was made for (the tray bleeds off the screen making icons non-accessible, the meters turn into overlaid goop, etc.)4) the bottom meter does not flow with the rest of the theme and seems to be just stuck on5) what the heck did you do to those fish? They look really bad6) It's a resource hog. Not sure why, but it is. It's really eating CPU for some reason. (I'd look into it, but I really don't have time).
There...you asked, so I answered.
You're too late...i drank it all. Quit whining and go make some more! Coffee is good......
Another thing Bucben, you have 4 DX themes on here, and to my eyes they all appear to be the same theme with a different wallpaper thrown in, none of which you appear to have made yourself. Hell, I could upload 200 new themes tomorrow if I did that with all my walls.
This is probably the main reason for it's initial rating, and why I dislike the idea of people rating something up because someone complains. I hope this puts a little perspective on it for you.
