Back when I first installed Avast, I posted an issue with my shut down time increasing greatly after the install. Everyone jumped in to defend Avast, and claim it isn't happening to them, and that it must be something on my system. Turns out it was Avast, and was fixed promptly by the Avast team.
True, true, but how come so many people had no problems with shut down time ? I had no problems at all... No matter, as you said, so many different computer configurations, can't check them all.
I mentioned this freeze issue awhile back to Craftec, and after suffering through him being offended, he fixed the issue by changing(I don't recall what) something in the way he builds the skins. Havent seen the issue since.
Well, I didn't change anything in the way I build skins... I make skins, I couldn't possibly have a clue that one of most used formats (TGA with alpha chanel) won't work on your computer. I'm sorry, but that was first time I ever heard such a thing... TGA file format shouldn't give you problems at all in the first place. I didn't invent TGA format, I'm just using it like everybody else... Also, TGA was used only in one skin made by me (LAAH-RA). You attacked so many skins, and you never mentioned LAAH-RA skin... Martin likes to use TGA much more than me. Of course I replaced TGA bit BMP in that particular skin, because I don't make these skins for me. I make them for users. If users are unable to use them, then no use of my skins. I fixed that problem and you were happy. Right ?
I like constructive comments, and everybody in this forum knows that... When I finish my skins, first thing I do is send them to Vlk for testing... sometimes, he sent me back 3 or 5 e-mails with asking me could I make some small issue different way, some graphic is not good or something else... I never cry, I always change what they ask me to change. Sometimes, I argue, 'cause it's my right to say what's my opinion... finally, I am designer of those skins (not the best one, but I'm trying and I'm trying very hard) and I think I should have right to say what I mean and how final product (skin) should look like...
You are always welcome to give constructive comments, but common, I remember those threads from the past... much more than just constructive comment. You noticed that and you calmed down. After that we spoked like normal human beings again...
Now, if you excuse me, I'm just in process of finishing best looking skin (I mean the one that was made by me, I still think Martin is better than me) for avast! ever...
Cheers !
