here's my thoughts:
I use a cursorXP on my computer for a couple of months at a time. Now, out of the thousands of themes out there, I personally, want my computer to look the best it can look. I believe most people here believe the same thing. Why would they use a cursor on their computer that looks worse than the Windows XP default? Look, sop worrying about the ratings. The fact is, they don't matter. What matters is whether or not your work is worthy of belonging on someone else's desktop. You post your cursors on Wincustomize, and you whine about low ratings on them. Because of this, I gather that you want people to enjoy your cursors and use your cursors. Naturally, if you want to make cursors for other people, you should make cursors that other people will like. So, when a fellow member of wincustomize tells you to improve something, you should listen. Because naturally, their approval of the skin is really what matters to you, right? Otherwise, these cursors would have only seen your desktop and not be on an internet site.
Long story short, just as a company should value the wishes of a customer, you as a skinner should value the wishes of your audience.
As for your name, I'm quite surprised alot of people are "offended". I don't see how a person can be offended by that. Boo hoo... his screenname is IMGOD. Oh my, he's really challenging my religion now. Give me a break guys. Obviously, some people need to become more secure with their beliefs.
However, I AM NOT defending your nickname. I, too, skip over your cursors most of the time. Why? is it because I'm offended? No way. The nickname IMGOD is simply immature and childish. Honestly, I don't want something an imature child has made on my desktop. I want quality.
I don't care if you change your name or not, but I'm sure alot of people just see you as immature for having a name like that, and because of that fact alone, you WILL NOT become a respected member of this community.
It would be a shae to see someone who might possibly become a good skinner fall through the cracks because of something stupid like that, but hey, it WILL happen. I suggest changing your name, but if you don't want to that's fine. Just don't expect respect from this (or any other) community.
Good luck buddy.
