All you really need is Windowblinds. It will skin all the windows and also the Start/QuickLaunch/Task/Systray bar. That combined with Nextastart will give you an awsome desktop. Objectbar is still could be cool, but it's still in realy phases of development IMO. Wait till it's out of beta. Cheers!

I am not 100% sure but I think there were issues inthe past with WB and the NVIDIA GeForce. I am not sure if they were solved. Did you install the very latest drivers for your video card? Try that, if it still doesn't work, mail tech support st Stardock.

The first important thig to do I think is the only allow downloads from registred members. From there you can easily track people's download count. Then, you can set up a page somewhere, an agreement of some sort where it says that download abuse is not tolerated. And if a member downloads too much, you could first send a notification email, saying that you have noticed that they download quite a lot, that they should please refer to the agreement page and stop download so much. If they don't

It's only available for now if you are a Object Desktop client. To subscribe to Object Desktop: https://www.stardock.com/order.html/ I think a public beta will be available soon, so you may have to wait if you don't want to purchase Object Desktop. Note that if you're into Windows customization, you will never regret your purchase; for 50$ you will get every version of every program made for Object Desktop (right now about 20 programs).

jebland: being an active member on the web site, such as making skins and themes, being active and helpful on the messageboard when people ask questions and stuff, leave comments and advices on other people's skins, etc. They key word is involvement and contribution.

But who is the ennemy? Who are we to bomb? In 1941, it was clear, it was Japan. Assuming, as it seems to be, that Bin Laden is behind it, and that the Taliban are protecting him. Who do we do? Attack Afganistan and eliminate the Talibans? Sounds like a good plan, but the problem is that very few Talibans soldiers are actually Afgan. They come from Pakistan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and other places. Just destroy the Talibans without asking any questions to anybody and you'll get neighbouring c

Well, the fact that Apprentices are excluded is excellent news. It basically means that if you can't support the site financially, you can support it with your participation and involvement, which is good. I just think the term "leech" is a little exagerated. I don't feel like a leech because I visit CNN's site regularely even if I don't pay to have CNN from my cable provider, or MSNBC, or whatever. I don't feel like a leech because I download programs from Download.com all the time, mostly

I don't know, I tend to think like craeonics. Most people don't even bother change the colors schemes of Windows, or the themes. Oh, I'm not saying it won't bring some new people in, it will for sure. But just how many? Probably a lot more people, but I doubt very much that XP will make skinning mainstream. Besides, I don't how many people will be interested in the first place. For some reason that I can't explain, since I've installed XP a few weeks ago, I haven't run Windowblinds nor Desk

There are alternatives. Limit daily download for everyone, not in Megs, but in number. Something like a limit of 5 skins per day. Heck, why not even take advantage of the status system implemented here? 5 skins per class level. For example: Guest: no go. Rgister to download. Citizens: 5 skins per day Apprentice: 10 skins per day Journeymen: 15 skins er day etc. Just an idea, and it doesn't involve payment, it involves participation and contribution, which is

OK, I just saw his comment saying it's "the later"... Hum... hum... hum... /me having a conscience case here... This theoretically means indeed that WC is charging for content. OK, I'll have to wait and see how this is really implemented. Right now, I must say that I don't agree with the idea. I'll have to debate this with my conscience...

Hey, waitaminute guys... As far as I know there is nowhere question of imposing a limit on non-paying customers. The reference to the "database" simply means registered members. And registration is free. In other words, only anonymous users will be limited at this point. Unless I got this all wrong, but that's what I think I understood.

- Love, of course - Trust and faith (100% necessary) - Respect - Good communication I think if you have those above, your couple can go through anything and all the rest is accessory.

The left panels are configured with and HTML page located in your C:\Windows\Web folder. The default file for almost all folders is called FOLDER.htt, but there are other ones such as NETHOOD.htt, MYCOMP.htt, etc. Note that there could be other FOLDER.HTT files in certen specific folders such as C:\WINDOWS and C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM and other special folders that have a different look. If you know HTML you can modify those files to match your mood. Don't forget to make a backup of th
