Thanks Kitty. I will have to lighten up the buttons a bit and change the font color to black everywhere. Thanks for the warning vStyler. I used SKS6 to modify the skin but I have a backup uploaded.
Thanks NT and IR.
I am not sure where IE is picking up the font color for the buttons. Elsewhere I have used this button but the fonr color is white for normal. On IE, it is black. How can I fix it? [img]http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/4421/iebutton01kp9.jpg[/img]
[quote]I read it somewhere here on WC that the performance difference between 32 bit and 64 isn't that much.[/quote] Mostly true when you run 32 bit applications on 64 bit. But anything natively written for 64 bit (mostly drivers) runs faster on XP 64. 64 bit edition of IE runs smoother than the 32 bit IE which is the default on XP 64 ( )
Recently a lot of us complained about the lack of support from SD for XP 64 bit edition. SD pretty soon released WB6 on XP 64. Today I was surprised to find out that Microsoft itself doesn't care about XP 64 users. [img]http://img240.imageshack.us/img240/7051/liveonxp64oa6.jpg[/img] I am grateful that SD released WB6 and SKS6 for a platform that is not supported by even its creator!

[quote]I see them priced at $349 everywhere I go.[/quote] My bad, I completely forgot about the recent price cuts. The core system is just $279 which is very close to the Wii price. At that price point, it is a very good bargain.
Done on my wordpress blog.

[quote]No it doesn't. It's the most expensive of the three. $399 for PS3, $349 for the 360 and $250 for the Wii... [/quote] $399 xbox 360 does not include a high deifinition drive. That costs an extra $170. You can argue about the utility of the drive though. PS3 games can be as big as 25 GB because they are written on a blu-ray disk. It allows for full 1080p rendering and uncompressed 8 channel audio. Xbox 360 cannot. If someone says they do not need high definition games, Wi

[quote]Ps3 also beats all in price, and all other consoles beats it in terms of games. [/quote] Well said. My PS3 sits there to be played. But I haven't found a good game so far. I use it for watching blu-ray movies... As for the quality of audio and video, I found PS3 to be better than xbox 360. Today my xbox 360 went back for second round of repair since the launch. On PS3, you can install most Linux distros. I haven't done that.
[quote]For example; a friend has Vista installed on 3.2ghz p4 with 2gigs of RAM, but his graphics card is only a 128mb Nvidia 6600GS, and therefore it lags, stalls and freezes because the card draws heavily on CPU and RAM to support the Aero GUI. [/quote] I still have an old Sony Vaio laptop that has Pentium 4, 512MB RAM and 64MB video ram. During the early Alpha days of Vista (may be even before real Alpha builds), I used to install it on this machine. With no drivers and all, it still
Even though I have more than one copy of genuine Vista at my disposal, I don't use it unless I have to. For example, WB6 and hence SK6 were not supported on XP 64 until this week and I had to create a Vista dual boot just to use them. So, I am not a big Vista fan in any sense. [quote]1.

Since no one from SD updated this post, I will post a link. Support for XP 64 added. I downloaded and it works! [link="https://forums.wincustomize.com/?aid=167143"]WWW Link[/link]
And.. It works! Why do I have to enter registration information? With 5.x WB I only had to enter that information in SDC.
The title of this post says "64 bit XP Support added". I have not seen any XP 64 users who were complaining (including me) saying anything. If it works, thank you very much! Been busy at work. Did not login to SDC in a while. After seeing this post I logged in to SDC but it still says "Includes support for per-pixel alpha-blended skinning on Windows XP (32-bit) and Windows Vista (32-bit and 64-bit). WDDM drivers are strongly recommended for Windows Vista." SDC description does
[quote]Maybe a language issue. Don't really think politics is involved. [/quote] I did not think it was political. Politics somehow got mixed up with my opinions. I agree that language might have played a role. I have a few experiences of my own in that respect. When I opined about using another email and id, I was thinking about the tactics of p2p file sharing crowd. Too many variables when dealing with this small world <img src="smiles/Hmm.gif" border=0 a
[quote]downloading somes skin and applying it [/quote] You need WindowBlinds to apply the skins. Get it from StarDock and install and reboot. Before rebooting disable the virus scanner. You can enable it back after booting. After the first boot, WindowBlinds configuration screen should come up. There are many skins installed with WindowBlinds that you can apply without downloading new ones. There should be a new icon in the task bar notification area that you can use to bring

Private property is an alien concept to communism. Read the manifesto. PRC probably instituted a few protection rules to enter the international business arena.

You can't blame him. Under socialism, your work belongs to every one.
The skin is nowhere close to completion but I could get it to a temporary location to test.
