All right, It seems comma's are wreaking havoc on the links again.. Just copy the garbage below and click on the link below then paste it to the end. This should work, I hope http://download.cnet.com/downloads/ 1,10150,0-10000-103-0-1-7,00.html?titlename=&author=stardock&desc=&qt=&ca=&os=&daysback=&li=&dlcount=&dlsize=&queryType=powersearch

Take a look at the link below, I was amazed at the numbers... Then think of all the other sites, Stardock itself, PC World, Tucows, superfiles, etc.. http://download.cnet.com/downloads/1,10150,0-10000-103-0-1-7,00.html?titlename=&author=stardock&desc=&qt=&ca=&os=&daysback=&li=&dlcount=&dlsize=&queryType=powersearch

Snowman, How do you expect WC to offer what it does not have! It has given what it can, but there is nothing left. Bandwidth is expensive and not limitless, so a small minority will have to be limited so the vast majority of this "community site" can still enjoy it. Life is full of limits, hope you'll reconsider...

Reply to Windows XP and what it will mean to the skin community in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Well, I run 98SE at home and plan switch to XP as soon as I can get Dell to ship it to me. I think Craeonics might be underestimating the general public on this. I think most people would love to change their desktop they just lack the know-how and the patience. I see people every day changing everything from colors to icons to wallpapers on their machines. While basic, they still want their machine to be an extension of themselves. XP will introduce a basic customised desktop to the masses. I b

Reply to cbuttons for winamp skins in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

deadman, All of the WinAmp skins here have a cbuttons bitmap within the skin zip. Download a few examples, open the skins zip, and then open the cbuttons bitmap within. After looking at few you should get the idea of how they are built. Use them as a guide to build one of your own...

I think this is long overdue. My personal opinion is to flip that switch permanently. Just think of these sizes that are being thrown around so casually, 10Mb! Let's say the average .wba file is about 100K and .dxtheme is 1500K , with that you could download 100 Windowblind skins or 6 DX Themes. How much do you need to try out "shareware" for evaluation. And it seems we are talking about the people who are just playing around for 30 days and never registering. How much does Stardock owe those wh

If you have WB installed it should be as easy as unzipping the file and double clicking on the ".wba" file inside. Alternately you can open WB config and load the skin directly out of the zip file. If this does not work the file might be corrupted. Most other sites are fine to download from, like the ones in the community box to left.

If you download the shareware version from somewhere like C|Net, it is a .exe installer. It should start the install with a double click. If you are going through Object Desktop then download through Component Manager and click install. If you just downloaded a theme from the library on this site you will need the Windowblinds program first. Check here: http://download.cnet.com/downloads/0-1461954-100-6371346.html
