Ramblings of an old Doc
Pleeeeeeease?
Published on March 20, 2010 By DrJBHL In OS Customization

Back when, this skin caused severe addiction for a significant fraction of the skinning community,

I was wondering is Stardock has plans for renewing and updating "Universe Metal" for Vista and Windows 7?

Amen Amen Amen!!!!!

this was hands down IMO the single best skin to ever grace the planet. Nobody's even come close to this quality. Wouldn't it be grand if it were updated.

However, if memory serves this was not a Stardock skin. It was made by Pixstudio I think. Don't recall the cast and crew to the letter.

Yep; but still for update.

While I loved this skin back in the day too, in fact, the only skin I ever bought,

 

Nobody's even come close to this quality.

 

Can't agree with that at all.

It was purchased by Stardock and sold as a premium suite...hence my request was directed to Stardock.

Although it still exists as a Hoverdesk theme on dA.

You might want to talk to i-Umani, who was Pixtudio.

I know Alexandrie, and I believe she stated that "U.M." belongs to SD now....

I sent her an email and I'll let you know, Tom....

btw... Treetog and Alexandrie were Pixtudio.

Can't agree with that at all.
of course you wouldn't, but I'm sorry, you don't hold a candle to Pixstudio and the gang.

Well, you know what they say opinions..

  anyway, not going to open up a can of worms. To each their own.

We all like U.M. to one degree or another.

That isn't the issue in my OP.

All it's about is a request is that Treetog consider doing a Vista/W7 update.

As much as I "love" UniverseMetal I have to agree with vStyler on this. Since that skin came out there have been many skins just as good that have been created! 

And with all due respect and all past bullshit aside...like it or not...John has created some pretty awesome skins! And no...he didn't pay to say that!

Being a virtual noob here, I must point out the Mormegil apparently had something to do with it. I have no idea if he was/is part of it, or the creator......

Agreed.

BUT: The OP only is about a request for an update.

I'm not asking/telling anyone to agree/disagree or whatever.  John makes great skins. I'm using Svelte right now as well as your docks, WG. That's not the issue, so everyone please drop it!

I would like a skin/suite update. If you'd like to see it also, please join. If not, don't. Just don't turn the thread into a pointless argument about taste.

The thread was positive and I want it to stay that way.

Then again, Mormegil may have just done the screeny...see...I'm a noob.

 

I'd love an update too!
