SkinStudio question in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I'm looking to do a specific effect with the top frame. What I want to do is have a full height bar from the left to the end of the title text. Then it drops to half height for the middle part of the bar. Finally, it goes back to full height for the (min|max|close) buttons. Example below (hopefully the ascii art doesn't break). ________________________________ ________ | 0 0 Title text blah blah blah \------------------------/ - O X | --

Ok, I'll start afresh. Entilza, the reason(s) you mentioned are why I intend to subscribe sometime soon (within a month or two). As for why I haven't subscribed already, it's purely an issue of not having money to throw around until I get a new job. The point I started out with is that while this is good skin, I expected better (or maybe I should say more) of a premium skin. My other point is that for people that don't really care about the site itself, there needs to be bett

Ok, I'll refine my claim. I was purely referring to the WB component of the theme. When I was referring to lack of quality earlier, I was actually referring to attractivness and strong visual difference from standard Luna variants. You are absolutely right in that it is a matter of taste, I apologize for deriding its technical quality. A separate question, why are large parts of the Logika suite ($10) available for free? This especially makes no sense for people like me who

To Frog and Radial, My point was that this isn't exactly a premium quality skin. For an example of what I consider to be a premium quality skin take a look at XP Corona by Alexandrie which is a whole different level of quality from the one being offered here to subscribers only. XP Corona is definitely something I'd be willing to spend money for once it's completed. I also believe I mentioned that there are other better reasons to subscribe. I plan to subscribe sometime

And this is supposed to make me willing to fork over $20? I don't think so, there is much better content for free. Quite frankly, to make me pay it has to be better than just about anything out there, this just doesn't cut it. (sorry) Of course there are many other reasons to subscribe, but I'm afraid this isn't one of them.

Reply to Account Settings Bug in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

My main objection to cookies are the ones that are set by ads. If other sites are affected, that's just too bad. If WinCustomize was completely based on cookies I wouldn't be complaining. It's just that a lot of the good stuff has been moved to being server based, with a few forgotten areas that make themselves all the more noticeable by omission. I guess I'm complaining that while they've done a good job, they didn't finish it. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/gr

Mike, a large number of the sites I visit store preferences on the server. This is especially good since I often use 5 or 6 different computers each day, of which only 1 doesn't get reimaged everytime it boots up. Yes, I have to login each time I access the sites, but I also don't have hundreds of cookies fouling up my system, tracking my browsing habits, and revealing where I've been. I'm one of those people who care about security and privacy. My history is set at 0, my cache is cl

Account Settings Bug in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

The "Available Libraries" feature in account settings is partially non-functional. Basically if I set everthing in one user session it works properly as long as I keep my browser open. However, if I close my browser and open it again all of the checkboxes in available libraries have been reset to their defaults. This is something that needs to be fixed.

Reply to WinCustomize Browser RC1 available in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I tried the old version of the skinbrowser and, pardon my language, it was a piece of crap. It was slow, buggy, and extremely limited. It has also expired. Now, the new version claims to be all that, but there's no way I'm going to plunk down a dime if it's anything like the old version. How do I evaluate the new version since my old evaluation expired?

Reply to New section Idea - XP boot screens in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

For all those who folk who have BootXP, has it caused any problems with your computer? I'm trying to decide if any potential problems would be worth something I only see a few seconds every few weeks when I do updates and have to reboot.
