Reply to winamp3 skins in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Yes, AJ, but its skinning difficulty will be similar to WMP. And we know hardly anybody skins WMP because it's too "difficult". The skinning community consists mainly of artists, not programers, who even the letters HTML are enough to make them run out of the room in panic. So, in short, although it will be so much more cool than Winamp2, Winamp3 probably will have not too many skins for it.

OK, just to be sure I understand, you have downloaded Windows XP, the actual OS, and you wish to get other skins than the 3 Luna ones that come with it, correct? Then you need a software called WindowBlinds XP, but unfortunately it's still in beta and I don't think it's available as a standalone download yet. You would need for now to purchase the Object Desktop membership, which allows you to download almost every Stardock product, apha, beta, or retail for one year. http://www.objectde

Reply to How to open/extract .ip .icl .dxpack? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

What is it you want to do exactly? Apply them, or actually extract the files from them? To apply them, you need their respective applications: IconPackager for .ip, and DesktopX for .dxpack. As for .icl, that's just a icon library, all you need is any icon editing software such as Microangelo to name only one. As for extracting the files conteined in the .ip or .dxpack, just rename the extension to .zip and extract as you would a regular zip file.

Oh, and BTW, although I'm generally not in favor of cracks and warez, in XP's particular case I am not opposed to it. Microsoft will never make me cry over a loss of money... boohoo! Anyway, I evaluate to one out of two the chances that if I ever get XP it will be a legal copy...

Personaly I don't thunk I will ever download a skin pack, since I'm sure they will be a huge download and include application skins I have no interest at all for. But Wheer the software is interesting is in hte ability for the users to create their own suites from skins here and there and to apply it in one click. This is why I was suggesting a way where you could choose the skins you want and make your own customized skin pack. T-Man, Brad, this is the way I see it: In the skin bro

Yes, but there is a limit. We have achieved close to the limit. I read somewhere that the human body, if given the proper nutriments, proper exercise, no stress, no poisons (pollution, alcohol, cigarette) should have a life expectancy of about 100 years. Now, that's the limit for a natural life. After that, we'll have to rely on techonology such as tissu cloning and transplant, cell regeneration, DNA manipulations and the such. That's whole other ball game, although I know we are getting the

Reply to Download Question in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Well, it's actually quite easy. Go to a skin site that has a bunch of sections for all the skinnable software, a site where the theme authors post regularely, such as Deviantart ( http://www.deviantart.com ) or LOS ( http://www.lotsofskins.com ). When you see a skin you like, just click on the author's name and it will give you the list of everything he skinned. Usually (almost always) skins that are part of a suite always have the same name. Quite esy to spot. Also, to mention that Devi

Yes, something tells me you are proabably trying to install skinz on Windows Media Player 5 or 6 that came with Windows 95/98/2000. Only Windows ME came with WMP7. So if you don't have Windows ME, then you have to download it: http://www.windowsmedia.com/download/download.asp

Can you imagine keeping your current job for 200 years? No one could affort to live 100 years in retirement. Unless until then society finds a way of eliminating money and therefore everything would be free, from food to housing and every kind of travel and entertainment. Yeah, right. That idea is even more impossible than the idea of immortality itself.

If it was done on the client side (as Brad suggested, as an implemented feature in a skin browser) then it wouldn't add any load on the server, and it would be equally cool. The main point being to avoid downloading a huge theme featuring 10 applications when one only has 3 of those apps. Now that I think about it, it would even help the web site as it would reduce the bandwidth usage. And, please do NOT interpret this as a critic, Convergence is the software a lot of people have been a

Cool, I'll look into it then. While on the topic, one thing I've always wanted to have was a desktop calendar (a real calendar showing the whole month). Can this plugin do that, or anybody knows if somebody is doing something like that?
