Some people make awesome texture packs others you just want to find where they live and strangle their heads off.

But its not the lack of originality that Im ranting about. Im ranting about how nearly every artist that makes a texture pack has to spiffy it up with the GLSL Shader mods.

Im going to tell you why I hate seeing pictures of texture packs with the shaders mod on.
1. It doesnt represent the actual texture pack.
2. A lot of people have terrible computers and cant run the shaders to get the full effect of what was presented.
3. It makes it harder to tell what the texture pack really looks like. Is the coloring really dark or really light? I dunno I cant tell with the shaders mod messing with everything!

How texture packs should be shown.
While not to put the shaders out of the picture completely, how about instead of having every picture with the shaders, have the main picture with the shaders and the rest NORMAL.

Now theres another thing I dislike that texture pack artists do. They show every block in 1 screenshot, or atleast try to.
While it is nice to see all the blocks, it can be a rather eyestrain to see all those different blocks crammed together like that. Now while some people like that they can see them all, the artist should at least show natural landscapes with the texture pack on, with the natural landscapes we can better visualize how the worlds would look around us if we used the texture packs.

I understand that not everyone does some of these pet peeves, but its for the ones that do.
