Reply to Some Mac site ripped Dangeruss :( in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Sheesh, I really sturred up a hornets nest. Yeah, I only noticed after I posted the message here that the guy was actually an admin of the site. Why is it that people think this kind of stuff is ok? Case in point, Juni makes a Zlauncher (PalmOS) and Wassup skin for me out of the goodness and kindness of his heart. He posts at Brighthand (a PDA forum) as there's nowhere else to post Palm skins. And what do people do? They start ripping it immediately. They see not one thing wrong with it

"Sometimes, in the middle of the night, I used to wake up screaming and in a cold sweat. I would be overcome with an apocalyptic feeling, as if the world had just ended. This lasted for many months........ ....then I stopped watching the nightly news." That's no lie. Last night I decided to watch one of the network news shows from the US. I was up late (shown here at 2am). I swear, I got so mad at my country. Sometimes I don't miss home, this was one of those times. "T

Reply to Dashboard Questions in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Hmm, the Today screen sounds like it's improved since I last left PPC. So you have to choose form or function. Today screen is hardly ugly, especially with themes, but dashboard is so pretty and has nice buttons when skinned right! I wonder if the Snoopsoft people are just riding the wave, or if they're really working on improving Dashboard. And if he leaves dashboard, then what? It was his favorite hobby... it's very relaxing for him. Ya know how some women sew for relaxation.

Nooo! Doreen! Not you too! Juni is thinking of defecting from Dashboard. His reasoning is that it's not been updated in ages, and with enough Today screen plugins, you get the same functionality. Now his skins were a big reason for me jumping to PPC, so if he uninstalls dashboard, it's to the couch with him! ><img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/mad.gif" border=0 ALIGN="ab

Maybe you should wait.. these woes started when we installed Active sync 3.6 But then again, Juni's pc is so bogged down with previous syncing gook from other pdas that me thinks it's time for to wipe the slate clean. Understandably, he's not to excited about that, but I think he secretly agrees with me.

But I'm being cranky. These problems will be fixed (hopefully), and the Loox, especially with the new keyboard I got today, is tres cool. Definately missed those features with the Clie. So what if it doesn't sync to mac? File transfers over BT work fine.

Doreen: The media player skins can also be found at Devart I believe. He tried to post them here, but alas, WC doesn't except ppc media player skins. The only reason I can think that he hasn't made more of those (other than skinner's block), is that he's mostly using the withMp3player more these days. He also posts at handango for the nonbelievers, and to show people what they can get for free. Have you seen the ones you have to buy? Being in ppc world makes me like my mac more

Oh, as for the bottom bar, yeah, it's skin-dependent.. but there are some tweak programs for PPC that allow you to set this color yourself. Again, go search Handango. I can't remember off-hand which skins here have a bottom bar color and which don't, but I do believe Juni's Time Machine skin has a set bar color. I'm sure there are others that do too.

Reply to Dashboard Questions in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

The "my dash" button only shows what you configure it to show, and this depends on what dashboard and/or Today screen plugins you have installed. For examle, my "my dash" screen shows Inosoft's Cash Organizer today screen plugin. Many programs come with today screen plugins, which is why Dashboard has opened it to allow today screen plugins. I know which dashboard plugins you're talking about. They used to be bundled with Dashboard, but no more it seems. They're made by Whitaker-moore and I'm su

Makes me wonder though, did Frogboy read those articles over at Wired about custization and did he get a tad annoyed that the influence or advances of Stardock weren't even mentioned and that all credit went to the Mac world? I found those articles lacking too..

Well I'm checking up on this a bit late.. but ..DOH! I even ran the spelling of that one by Juni. He ok'd it.. it's his fault. It's sad, English is Juni's third language, and it's my first (and pretty much only). I always have to go to him for spelling help. But that doesn't change the fact, there were a few there slamming the mac users for their attitude and then showing that same attitude

Yeah, many of the users posting here have that same attitude they claim to hate so much in mac users. Gotta love ignorant hypocrates. I think that's the problem.. on both sides of the OS fence. If you don't have something nice, or at least educated, to say.. then don't say it. People choose their OS cuz it suits them best. End of story.

Hurray! A thread I can say something in! I have been a mac user since July when I got my g4 imac, but I hesitate to say I "made the switch" because XP is a fine OS, I still use it daily to sync my PocketPc (Apple will not force me to use a Palm... Doreen - I'm back!), and we network and blah blah blah everything you'd do if it were two pcs in the house. Basically, no one wants to be told t

Reply to osx theme taskbar? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I have a G4, and I'm trying to get this WinXp theme to work... Well not really. Assuming I actually did want an Xp theme (on any machine), theming support in OsX ain't what it is in the Windows world. Heaven forbid you don't like a theme and need to restore Aqua. Depending on the theme, you could be in for a bumpy ride. So yeah, if you want that true mac experience, you'll have to get a mac, but a plus in the pc world is the long-established skinning community. plains

Wow, what is going on here?? Ya take a break from the net for a while, get a puppy, move to a new place, have a nice vacation, get a new computer with a different OS... Only to find that WC has been invaded by Teddys! Really though, I'd suggest to Windoze that if he believes that all should be free, and if he has the skillz he claims to have, he should really jump ship to Linux. So many distributions, so many options, really.. you might like it.

Ya, but other OS's aren't quiet so anal about their copyrights. Did Microsoft do anything about those Luna skins? Of course not! It's good for them to let people see and guess about the new OS. You can only gain customers.

Reply to Apples New Ad Campaign? Bad Move? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Well Juni very nicely called this mac place and had them hold one of their two 800mhz superdrive Imacs. He surprised me with this info and we headed out a few hours later after some crucial housekeeping was done. After a 30 minute trip, we were a few minutes away when the guy called and said "Oops, we don't have any, but we can order one!" We said no dice and went to a place that doesn't lie about what's in stock just to get a commission. That guy plainly deserved to loose that sale. Ju

I too am lusting after one of the new Imacs. I have to confess... yes, they look sexy. But I'm also one of those people who sees beauty in PCs and Macs. Heh, until a couple of years ago we used an Amiga. But now in our new apartment with so much more room and with all my stuff finally set up on the main PC in the house, I finally feel it's safe to take the plunge with a Mac. I guess it's the PC user in me that I don't feel safe unless there's a pc nearby. But I believe that the
