I think daimon and Ealdor explained very well what I meant. I don't want to criticize too much, but a clear distinction between Lua scripts and UI skins would be better for each category and for the users.

i would add Lua in there some wheres personally.

i knew what i was looking for and was still a bit confused.

Are those better now? And are there any other categories you guys can think of right off the top that you think should be added?

re Scripts vs Skins - We'll keep an eye on it, see if it gets to the point where we actually need to separate them out.

Hi woal! Welcome to the site!

As Daimon said, we very strongly support respect for authors' rights, which means that we will never upload someone's work. The only way a project gets posted on any of our sites is if the author themselves upload it. We know that this can sometimes be frustrating for users, that perhaps not all of the projects they like can be found on the site, but safeguarding the rights of authors is extremely important to us and most people understand and support our position and so are willing to perhaps be slightly inconvenienced. If you find a project elsewhere that you would like to see on our site, we suggest that you (nicely!) approach the author and ask them if they might be willing to upload it here as well.


And, just to make sure the edit of the original post it isn't missed:

[Edit] After feedback from you guys, we've created another new download category under the Stand-Alone section which contains all of the previously existing stand-alone Graphical Modifications (Skins). ~Cairenn
