proper periferals for use at work! /me wants a great big panic button say, about 8 inches across, a nice shade of read, so that i can hit it with which ever limb is most convinent, or in really bad cases, just head-but it. because of this it should be soft! my desk is hard, so it hurts when i head but it when i hit this button, windows *must* imideatly save all open work into at least

an OS that is STABLE!!! so that when i am foolish enough to try and use winrar, my win2k box wont spontaniously reboot! better (or at least removable) apps. if windows *must* come bundled with a load of apps, then at least make them useful, or removable, or both. a classic example, notepad under win98 doesnt even support ctrl_s. that possible use to anyone is this?

let there be celibrations, for i have solved this after a bit of thought, i realised that the effect you are after shows up on the top of the start menu with the olive green XP theme, on the user name. so, after a little fiddling around with a text editor (sidestepping skin studio completely for simplicity), i found that adding: ShadowEffect =1 ShadowBlur = 4 ShadowOffset.

well, that is interesting when i open the AquaBar.obbar file, skinstudio says that "Use Shadow Effect" is enabled. however, there is no sign of a shadoweffect attribute in the skin file. i will have a play around, and see if i get anywhere. have you ever seen this effect on any other OB skins? if so, it shouldnt be to hard to workout how it was done, and to then copy the idea across directy in a text editor.

paxx - Anyway, there were other reforms before, and when the written language is so different from the spoken language that it almost seems like a second language, I think it's time for some changes. /me agree's how about a new spelling for beutiful that would be the word begining with b meaning very attractive. for some reason this is one of those words that i just *cannot* spell correctl

i think we may need to do this a different way. i have just caused skinstudio to lock up twice in a row by trying to load the skin file: ObjectBar/Agua/Skins/Agua/agua.obskin i can load the ObjectBar/Windows Clasic/Skins/Windows/windows.obskin skin file fine, but on the taskbar - font section, i can set the font and its size, but the other options are greyed out. this is with skin studio 1.50a

Australian Spelling in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

From a recent letter to the New Scientist magazine: It was Australia that made a serious attempt to modify English spelling. The plan was to introduce reforms gradually, and spelling reform number 1, known as SR1, advocated using just 'e' whenever a short 'e' shound occured, as in bred or sed. For some years the Australian Ministry of Helth was thus spelt. i have tried to reproduce the spelling acuratley <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/smile.gif" border=0 A

am i understanding you correctly in that saving the OB theme from OB causes this shadowing to go away? that is strange if so. i take it this is a setting you are getting to via skinstudio then? if so, which version of skinstudio are you using? in the mean time, i will see if i can find this setting here.

i havent tried this, but i have never had a problem with OB not saving settings normally. are you saving settings explicitly while your machine is still running? the only time i have seen OB not save settings is when the theme has been modified, but not saved, and i then shutdown the machine. at this point i get the "theme changed, save?" dialog box, but selecting save doesnt work. if you are avoiding this pitfall, i will try and think of some more things to check <img src="h

When I find the time, maybe I can brush up more notes thanks for the thought personally i suspect half of the problems starone and i are grappling with are due to the fact that the smartbutton implimentation is changing between WB3 and WB3.1 well, what fun would it be if it was to easy? /me *mannic gigles*
