Well, I'll have to disagree somewhat with myself... I know what your saying as I have created walls specifically for my own styles. I post very few of those styles (like none) as I am either unwilling to make the wall public domain or distributing it would infringe upon the IP of someone elses work that I have modified. But as far as the context of a Community Challenge or rating a style on it's own merits, I'll stick to my original position... the style is what is what can be contained intirely within the ASCII file. Just my opinion :)

I second that, Freeborn. Well, partially at least. ~chuckle~ Either I make the style solely for my own use, or I find a wall that would make a nice basis for a style. Either way.. it's for my own personal gratification.. not everyone else's approval.

crowmag: while your points are valid, I disagree for a very simple reason: I design styles for my own use. I design them for that specific point in time, with that wallpaper. Thus, worrying about how the look with bsetroot or on other computers is not really a priority, I merely publish them so that if others wish they can use them.

also... in my opinion.. pliz people dont hate me... about the wallpaper selection... im looking at the screenshots to my left... 16 screenshots.... 90% of the wallpaper r just ugly... pliz dont hate me... to succed creating a nice style.. u have to choose a better wallpaper.., a sexy one (plis i dont wanna get banned) im saying this...saying thisfor the better of the stylers.. to be honest.. i dont download much styles from them.. i mean NONE.... the last style i kept from heere is one of thewayofrozen.. called MUKOUZUNE very nice style... (everything goes well between the styel and the walllapper) it goes well the raised and sunken textures... if u wanna see realla ncie styles u should look for ... cthu1hu and the_wyzard_69.... PEACE!

@thwwasyofrozen: look its not about picking the colors and puting them into the style... thats dumn... the real thjing is that u have to MAKE THEM ONE! the style + the wallpaper.... look... in my opinion... u do really nice styles.... BUT i think u r missing something important... u always using sunken and raised textures... but most of the time those textures don go well with ur walllpaper selection... like i said before... this is like a couple... female and male... u have to make them look good together.. in harmony... (like i said is my opinion)

M4uR1g10: you could do it by having BBC(K)ontrollor read a *.TXT file containing a list of bro@ms for both bbInterface and Blackbox... In your menu, turn on "Show Bro@ms" to see the bro@ms you will need to issue.

Regardless of whether or not it is harder to create a style using a pre-existing wall or just going it alone with a bsetroot, the "strength" of a style can only be determined by removing the wallpaper (if it has one) and creating a besetroot for the style. If the wall is propping up the style, it will be quite clear when you do so. This is part of the reasoning I had for submitting a rule to the "Community Style Challenges" thread here: link Personally, I feel that the bsetroot style ~is~ the style... the added wallpaper is just the clothes you put on it.

Pitkon: I can't add comments either; I click submit and it just flips to only showing the sidebar, then doesn't proceed from there. Brian?

uploading works, but uploads always require approval and I don't think any of us are as actively moderating as we did in the past ;-)

Hey old friends, another old-timer hanging on here :) snkmchnb: Do you think it would be possible to get this site's screenshot posting function going again with Brian's help? (read: not sure if he'll be reading this himself so asking any other admins more broadly)
