What is DitchDefault?
It is a DeviantArt group dedicated to customizing Windows. As the name suggests, default just isn't good enough for us. We are on an endless search to skin, customize, and resource hack our way to an interesting and unique looking desktop.
It is the intention that as soon as DA releases the new group features that are being worked on, DitchDefault will become a full-fledged group.
What are the aims of DitchDefault?
They are 3-fold
1) To link and network application skinners and desktop customizers alike, hopefully leading to more cooperation and collaboration between customizers
2) To feature quality art from the Desktop Customization scene.
3) To inspire and help newcomers to the Desktop Customization arena.
What is the focus of DitchDefault?
Though customization related to Linux and OSX Customization may be featured as part of this group, in effort to keep the group manageable the group will initially be focused on primarily Windows Customization. Once the group has been up and running for a while we will assess whether Linux and OSX customization would be better fitted to their own groups or whether to integrate them into DitchDefault.
Who can join?
Well anyone can watch, ask questions, chat and be involved in the group.
But at some point there will also be members in the group delegated certain responsibilities. I, =AlbinoAsian, do not wish for this group to be exclusive, nor for it to be a group of a few people that think they know everything. It will be moderated and managed to the point that is necessary. The structure of this administration will be worked out in time.
