Guess I'm the odd man out on this as I prefer having sections. I think it depends on what kind of conversations you want to foster. Sections not only organize topics but encourage conversation on that given topic. For instance, I'd tempted to a non-skin related thread (and more often) in a section rather than the current wincust board as I feel I'd be going "off-topic" too much within the current board and afraid of drowning out the skinning threads. As for Devart, well, I wouldn't be t

Download a WindowBlind skin (.wba file). Double click it to install it. To activate it go to your Display Properties dialog and press the Appearances tab. Select the skin from the drop down list and press Apply. http://www.windowblinds.net/docs

What in particular are you having problems with? Each of the different skin/theme types are handled by a particular program (WindowBlinds for WBA files, DesktopX for dxtheme files and so on) All the the commercial programs have shareware versions that allow you to try them out. Some of the skins/apps listed here are freeware apps. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/sb.gif" border=0 ALIGN="absmid

JSPs are okay though like a bastardized version of ASP. I've only used it conjunction with WebLogic and WebSphere so I don't know how modular it is in other implementaions. Perhaps open source Tomcat has a JSP implemetnation since its basically a servlet engine. JSP is nothing more than an archicture layered on top of servlets anyways. The JSPs compile down to servlets.

The problem is, Win2000 doesn't have a XP style taskbar to skin, so WindowBlinds can't do anything about it. However, you can use objectbar which (besides being used to build custom bars and docks) has the ability to mimic the WinXP taskbar and start menu. In this mode, it can also import the WinXP specific taskbar/start menu graphics from the WindowBlinds skin, and skin itself to compliment the current WindowBlinds theme. https://www.stardock.com/products/objectbar

Hmmm. You don't want J2EE unless you want to learn JSP (The Java equivalent to ASP). Better off sticking with ASP or PHP. CFM is Cold Fusion, another propriety yet popular web server scripting language by Alliare (though now absorbed into MacroMedia). I think CFM is one of MikeB's area of expertise. As for PHP vs. ASP for large database sites...hmmm...that's really more dependent on the database and site structure. Most PHP sites seem to use MySQL whereas ASP sites (being MS-centric sit
