We were skinning scrollbars in one of the betas of XP but then they changed how they did it. We'll eventually get around to re-skinning the IE scrollbars in XP but it won't happen in 3.0. Apartment is just a test skin. Look at https://www.stardock.com/products/windowblinds/wb-oct01c.jpg

That dialog is excluded. It should be noted, btw, that XP itself doesn't skin existing applications fully. On 99% of your apps, you get title bars and maybe scrollbars and that's it. WindowBlinds, by contrast will skin all of them fully.

I am not sure what to say, what parts of XP isn't WindowBlinds XP capable of skinning? WB XP can skin every element of the GUI if the skin supports it (including the new start bar). Check out the Apartment skin that is included to see an example.

BTW, in another post someone suggested that the United States needs to figure out how it can change its behavior since it's done "things" (unspecified) that have annoyed "a lot" of countries. Can anyone name a single democratically elected government that has an unfriendly relationship with the US?

BTW, next time there's a school shooting, maybe instead of blaming the shooters we should have a long convoluted discussion about what the kids who got shot might have done to annoy the shooters. Sheesh.

The naivete and lack of historical knowledge present here is depressing. The question that should be asked is what those countries that we "bombed" did to warrant the bombing. Let's look at the list starting from 1970: Vietnam (1973) Beirut (1984) - US was part of a peace keeping force. Greneda (1985) - we didn't actually bomb anything here but US military was used to restore dmeocracy after a cuban led insurgency took over the little island. Lybia (1986) - In

We have looked at it and been looking at it for months. We have reduced the size by a great deal. Most of the size in HTML is due to the abundance of tables. Tables can give a nice visual effect and are smaller than using graphics. But where does the bandwidth go? Downloading of skins. We've mapped out where the bandwidth goes over the past couple of months. If we want to reduce bandwidth useage, we'll have to reduce people downloading skins. I would highly

WindowBlinds 3 will be made generally available in mid October, just before Windows XP's launch. It will be based on a completely new architecture that is smaller and faster than previous versions of WindowBlinds. It will work on Windows 98, ME, and 2000 as well as Windows XP. On Windows XP

One idea floating around the office is to have premium members. WC is approaching 700,000 unique visitors per month (while T-shirt sales are Traffic isn't universally high though. It's really just 11am to 5pm EST that the website is really busy, the rest of the time it's pretty reasonable (other than around 4am EST when something keeps crashing for an hour or two for reasons we don't know yet). So basically, users who had downloaded over 50 megabytes of skins

WebBlinds is a program that turns Internet Explorer 5.0 or later into a fully skinnable web browser. Rather than trying to create a web browser, Stardock, creators of WindowBlinds, has worked to make Internet Explorer a better web browser. The full version adds smart ad-blocking and performance extensi

Mariuss, as someone who has spent some years studying World War II in detail, let me tell you that your conspiracy comments are out of line. The United States didn't know before hand that Pear Harbor was going to be attacked.

It really doesn't matter what you think it is SSL. It is war. And if you cannot make the distinction between flying civilian airlines into office buildings for the express purpose of killing innocents and accidental collateral damage, then you have my sympathy.

Marius, your ignorance is astonishing. Bin Laden was not a US partner at any time. He was part of the rebel force fighting the Soviet Union in the 80s and that force received US aid but we didn't train them to murder civilians, we trained them how to defend their homeland from foreign military invaders. Before commenting in the future mariuss, I suggest you get more informed on the issues.
