Reply to Need some serious testing help! in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

Well, this is just my opinion. I have never made a blind, tried a few times, daunting to me. But as a user, I see no problems with this blind. I like it. I use a 26" HiDef LCD TV as my monitor. It all looks good to me. I have seen a lot worse blinds over the years. As far as colors are concerned, I would think that would be a matter of preference.

[quote]I'll just have to learn how to use them,because you make some great themes[/quote] Thank you very much! The tut I wrote, and a few others here on WC, should help you in learning. It took me a good while to learn when I first started. Still one thing I need to learn to do, but can't and it drives me nuts. lol

Make ya feel good, huh. I felt it when I was breifly mentioned in the very first episode of WC Skincast! And when sViz did a tutorial using one of my skins, and the first (and only) time one of my skins was Featured on the home page. The people here at WC really do know how to make ya feel important sometimes. Great job! I like your dreams...cool stuff. I may try to make one. :CONGRAT:

[quote]Also,make it saveable without using builder mode[/quote] That would be something that stardock would have to incorporate into DX. I have no control.[quote]Make them along the lines of Blue Glass by buzzh58, all drag and drop..Super easy to set up[/quote] This would be nice, but as someone once told me, I make what I like, and if I share it, those who like, can use. Those who don't, use something else. I only know how to make what I use. ;)

[quote]Being able to customize in regular mode is key to DX theme acceptance. I'd hunt down a script that lets you do that.[/quote] Pardon me if I am wrong, But I think, if you look into what you are saying, you will find that it has always been a fact that any desktopx theme has to be in builder mode to be modified.

How To Use My Themes in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

I have been asked several times recently how to use or modify my DesktopX themes. So I thought I would write a short tutorial of sorts. [HR] Obviously, everyone does not have the system setup that I use, but I will explain the best I can. Firstly, I think I will start uploading theme without the shortcuts in the menus which only work on my PC. That way, you don't have to delete them. For the older themes, follow these instructions to remove my icons. Right click them and choose delete. If
