Reply to .wba will not open after installing SP2 in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

I've said this a hundred times in different threads on different sites. Save the file as a .wba and change the type to all types. After it is downloaded just double click on it. After a few hours (maybe a day or two) it will suddenly start working like it should. Don't ask me how, why, or when exactly as I have never been able to pinpoint this, but the problem will correct itself...by itself.

Reply to TGA files just not doing it, nor import to tga from png. in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

What version of PSP? I use 8.10. First off check your file settings for PNG under file format preferences. The box needs to be Unchecked. In order for a PNG to convert to tga in SS you MUST have at least 1 transparent pixel. Also, in SS make sure that transparent and translucent are both checked for the part you are doing.

The Longevity of Orbs in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Has anyone else noticed the predominant trend of wallpapers as of late? Of the last 25 walls submitted, 13 of them are "orb" related or have a focal point of something round. Not that they are bad walls.. on the contrary, most of them are quite nice. I just bring it up because the other geometrical shapes are getting angry and are threatening to pack up their things and go elsewhere unless they receive their fair share of the limelight!

Gene.. for you and I, regisistry cleaners may be okay as we would know what to delete and hopefully what not to delete. I am just warning the average user to be wary of these so called "wonder programs" which promise all while kicking you in the shins from time to time.

BE CAREFUL of running applications like this!! A good example.. This program deletes index.dat files. Doing so can have a negative impact on some built in functionality of your operating system. For one, if you delete ALL index.dat files you will render msinfo32.exe inoperable. If this only deletes one of them you may be okay. Also, I have never seen a registry cleaner that is 100% safe either. The gesture is noble, but I would

Reply to Suggested Areas for IT Specialization? in Industry WinCustomize Forums

I'm beginning to think that it's not even worth it to pursue much in this industry anymore since MANY companies don't seem to value our skills in the first place. They would much rather outsource to companies in India rather than contribute to our economy. God forbid that they pass those savings down to the employees which they didn't boot either!! Being entirely self-taught myself I can relate to your statement of companies attitude toward this.

Reply to Start menu problem with *most* Winblinds. in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

Looks to me you are using 120dpi and most themes are not designed to use that. Right Click on your desktop, go to properties. Go to the settings tab, then click on the advanced button. Under the general tab is a DPI setting. Normal size is 96DPI which what most blinds are designed for.

Lantec.. I REALLY like Maxthon. The only thin I don't care for is the proxy setup of it. I sometimes use 2 proxy servers at work. Maxthon doesn't have the setting flexibilty that I needed. Otherwise, it is indeed a great tool.
