So what? So it's brilliant marketing. The problem is? As for #100, I follow you for the first three statements, but the forth one doesn't apply. Get name and addy of every person ever to have bought a tie and you locate every potential tie-pin buyer. If you mean to imply that Google gives out your name and Gmail address to adver

Thanks Annie.
Apoc, no it's because we (Admins) have a thingy for a textbox that messes up the special characters (&) so the URL got all funked up. I fixed it now. Link should work.
All right LL3J, I think you didn't understand Goodmorphing. Here is what to you. First download this skin: https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.asp?library=1&SkinID=2776 Then click on my name to look at my desktop picture. Should be clear enough. [Message Edited]
What software do you already have?  If you have Windowblinds or another OD software, you should buy the Object Desktop suite. For only a little more money, you get a lot more software, including DesktopX, IconX, IconPackager, Windowblinds, WindowFX, etc :) I'm not sure if just the Desktop X software still includes IconX. I know it used to, but not sure it still does.  Nevertheless Object Desktop is the way to go.
So, what is it you don't like?  The fact that your emails are scanned the way a spam filter does, or the fact that you are served avertisement, as you already have just about everywhere on the web? Or somehow you don't have anything against either but you do with the combinasion of both? Google is by far the most used search engine.  But it already serves "in your face" ads when you do a search on Google, yet people don't seem to mind that. You may boycott GMail, but t

Jafo, what is the difference between a spam filter "reading" your mail or a "advertisement filter" as this could be called. There IS a big difference between a software "reading" your mail or a humain.  It's like the difference between pulling your pants down in front of the TV or doing it in the subway...
Don't use PSP, I meant: I don't use PSP. It was by no means an imperative to stop using PSP.  I don't go in the "my software is better than yours" debate.  To each his own. I use mainly Photoshop and Fireworks.
I've given up on privacy a long time ago as far as communications go. My phone lines (just as everybody's) may/are monitored by the secret services (not paranoia, they admitedly have been monitoring random phone lines for years). As for Gmail, my gmails are read by nobody else but who they are destined to. Software scanning for keywords is in my book not violating my privacy.  My privacy is violated by way worse than that every single day by cameras and microphones here,there and
If anybody has gMail invites to give away, please do it here. No need to open dozens of threads for the same thing.
No, Nutshell, these are Brad's stats. It means that he got 245,000 downloads for Objectbar, which places him as the #1 most downloaded Objectbar skinner.

What Icon X needs is the ability to skin the icon and label backgrounds. Not make it look like OSX. I just tried IconX right now to see what's new since I last tried it, and I really think something needs to be done with that rename icon feature. It's probably the only reason that stops me from using it (I change file names all the time). And right now when you press F2, the text is hightlighted in yellow but there is no blinking cursor telling you where your cursor is. It
Don't use PSP, but I noticed a few programs indeed that don't work with Windowblinds (or work but not quite right). For example Avery DesignPro won't open at all, and File Maker Pro's buttons don't work.  Also some issues with Macromedia Fireworks (for some reason, the options in the side panels are something like 30 pixels shifted - you have to click some 30 pixels below what you wnat to click on - really weird). Anyway, I have those apps in my exclusion list.
Frogboy: if you have Photoshop, select your line tool, then click on the Geometry Options (a little arrow pointing down in your top toolbar). You can choose to have an arrow at the beginning, at the end, and choose the length, width and concavity of the arrow. And yes, Icon X still needs to have a bit more custom options. As it stands right now, I see little use for it personnally. Also, and I don't know if it can be done, but Icon X needs to behave exactly like a real ico
No Mike, High School comes after. Our friend Elliott needs to graduate from elementary school first.
Dang, Jafo beat me to it.
Open Task Manager (Control-Shift-Escape), kill the Litestep and Explorer processes (if they are still opened) from the Processes tab, then from the Applications tab, click on the New Task button, and write "Explorer.exe" in the dialog. I think this should bring back the Explorer shell.
As for Object Dock icons, I must say that I like it when they are uploaded seperatly. It makes it much easier to find what you are looking for. Typically, if I need a Photoshop icon (for example), I will type "Photoshop" in the search box.
sales @ stardock.com As for IconX I have no idea, I don't use (don't like it, personnally).
If you have Norton Ghost, I guess that is a good alternative to System Restore. As for Object Desktop, it's a yearly subscrition that gives you access to all the Object Desktop software for a full year, instead of only buying a one time software. Every version of every software there will be available to you. If you don't renew your subscription, you still gte to keep the software you have of course. You're not renting the software, you're given the opportunity to download and install
csurfside: now that you got everything working great, create a restore point in XP's System Restore (Start/Programs/Accessories/System Tools/System Restore). That way you can still play around LiteStep or whatever you wish and if your system goes haywire instread of formating again for the Nth time, just do a system restore. Why don't you just purchase Object Desktop (50$ the first year, 35$/year
No, you should be able to download up to 50 Megs for free. Tell us what theme you are trying to download, and we'll chek if the zip is corrupted.
You know, most of us started skinning because we had something specific in mind we wanted as a skin, and the best person to do exactly the skin you want is nobody else but yourself.  Take the time it takes, in can be a few weeks or even a few months, but if you put enough work and patience into it, I'm sure you will accomplish something you will be proud of.
