Reply to server busy -- this site is really bad in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

The original post has a certain amount of irony to it. He accuses the admins/hosts of being morons, yet the logic of his post is moronic because it implies that the admins prefer to keep the site overly busy and overtaxed and that they're not intrested (or too stupid) in making the site more efficient. Why is it that when such people post such things, they never bother to think things through logically? ...sigh... Den Beste said it best with the old engineering axiom "nothing

Reply to Killer open/save dialog application! in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

It does work with WB since its a complete dialog replacement (as opposed to adding extra title bar buttons which get covered up by WB). So far it's pretty cool. A bit overwhelming at first by the size of it and the options on it but so far it's pretty useful. I like how you can specify favorite folders and favorite files and specify them either globally for all apps, or only applicable for specific apps. So far I'm really liking it. I may register it.

Thanks for the lin,k Terry. The standard windows open-save dialog has always been a sore point with me. I'll give this a go.

Each library section that you see on the left side of this web page contains skins for a particular application. For instance, the DesktopX section has skins/themes that are only useable by the DesktopX program. On each library section webpage, you'll find, near the top of the webpage, links to find out more information about the application for that category. If you downloaded the MIIG theme that's currently featured on the frontpage then, you'll need Winstep ( http://www.win

I forget who did that, but its a DesktopX theme. Its definitely on this site in the DesktopX section of the library. You'll have to wade through allot of stuff to find it unless someone remembers the author's name or the title. You can probably reduce the amount of DesktopX stuff that you'll have to browse by selecting the Theme checkbox on the desktopX library browsing page.

That error often happens when you click the link to the skin to automatically download and install it. Right click the link, save the wba file to disk. then double click the file to install it from disk.

IMO, its worth the upgrade, give it a shot. NS3 addresses some of the things I've wanted in NS for a long time. I've been wanting text effects. Yeah! The enhanced task support for grouping/sorting/text is another big thing for me. The other thing is the start/quicklaunch bar. Just having task tiles was okay, but I prefer being able to have everything enapsulated in a manageable bar. And having the whole thing adjust when the systray is expanded/collaspsed is nice. It u

The fan backlash has been much greater than the SciFi Channel had expected. So far CNN has covered the topic 4 times. There was a rally in NYC and one in Atlanta. There's another one tomorrow in NYC in responseot the meeting the powers that be at the network willing be having there to discuss the issue. Its actually had some effect so far. They've halted the plan to tear down the sets and there seems to be more dialog between the network and the shows creators. Many of

I have Windowblinds perform a rollup when I right click the titlebar. Rollup is an extremely useful ability to quickly get access to under the current window without having to go the trouble of minimizing and restoring the window as you would normally do. On-top is also useful, but I don't use it nearly as much as roll-up.

Actually after playing with this for the past day or so, I have to say it's pretty useful. I just registered it. It'd be nice if it had a couple of other features though. For instance if your sticker is set to be always on top, then when you hit Alt-S to bring its up as expected. If the sticker is not set to always on top then when you hit Alt-S the stickers are placed directly on the desktop under your other windows. Be nice if there was a third option: bring to foreground but not alwa
