Funny, as much as I use DesktopX this will be a feature I never use. I don't see what the big deal is. But I do LOVE all the new things I can do with DesktopX.

Hey, skinners need to eat too. The price is little over the cost of going to see a movie, or less than it costs for any dinner out.

Well, I'm enjoying the hell out of the new 2.2 betas. I go back and forth from cursing it to praising it. But that's just because occasionally lose arguments with the dxscript code. But then just put it down, go play starcraft, and then manage to figure it out. I hope to take the dx2 world by storm! Muhahaha!

Reply to Lack of DX creativity ? in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

I'm currently working on an animation script that will turn any 48x48 icon into a fully animated DesktopX zoomer. Figured something like that would be kind of useful, that way I could stop making zoomers for every one of my themes. I'll agree, I had to revert back to my 2.00a version of DX though, because of all of the issues that make even 2.10 and especially 2.19 totally unuseable. I

Reply to Has anyone here ever bought only from one car manufacturer? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I've only owned Honda cars for the last 15 years. 260,000 miles on my 88 Honda accord and still going strong when I sold it. I own a 2003 Honda Element now, because I needed something a little larger than a compact sedan. I love it.

Reply to Optimization - Why do skin designers ignore it? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I used to compress all of my windowblinds skins, until the update to wb 3.5 I think it was, or 3.2... point being, that in one of the updates it just didn't seem to matter anymore if they were compressed graphics or not. and it seemed to me that it actually made things slower having them compressed. General consensus seemed to agree. It was about that same time that all of the other "top" skinners stopped using compressed graphics as well.

Reply to icons disappear in indemnity skin, and H2so4 (object bar) in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

sent you a reply via e-mail also, but I will type it here also. If you are using the "Anytheme" icon packs with DesktopX2, then that is why you are still having problems. As stated in the instructions for the Anytheme icons, they will not work with Dx2. I think I just need to the anytheme icon packs alltogether. Try using the Indemnity DX2 zoomers with this pack. Should solve your troubles.

Reply to icons disappear in indemnity skin, and H2so4 (object bar) in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Well, it sounds like you are using the version of Indemnity and H2so4 that are for DesktopX1.3 and not version 2. This is a common bug with DesktopX2 that one day I hope and pray that they FIX! (please!!!???) I have a version on Indemnity that has been updated to DX2 along with a new set of Icons. But if you are using H2so4, that has not been updated, and the same goes for the Anytheme Icons. They will cause this same bug, since they were written for dx1.3. Hope that helps.

How about we put the money toward our economy? Give every man, woman, and child in the US $5000. That would still be less money than it would take to go to the moon again. And which do you think would help the economy more?
