Reply to help me plz.. i look for a system inf + meters with transparent background... in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Two different resource meter applications come to mind that can be transparent/windowless CoolMon http://coolmon.arsware.org/ (I think this is just text on a transparent background. No graphics as far as I can tell) and Samurize http://www.samurize.com Additonally DesktopX can do this as well though it is much more than a system meter application (depending on what plugins and scripts are being used) http://www.desktopx.net

Reply to ;/ Trojen or virus blocks search engines.... in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I got hit by this the other day. It creates a new hosts file C:\windows\help\host in which all whole bunch of search sites are mapped to some ip address of a server that has since been taken down. It also screws with the default search engine address that's used when type in keywords in the address bar. It also tries to screw with your dns server settings Getting rid of the host file is easy (just delete it), but the annoying part is that it messes up some of your registry sett

Paxx, whether Buffy and Angel are your cup of tea or not (it depends if you can buy into them), they're not really for the 11 year old crowd. They both deal with alot of adult themes via comedy and drama in a pretty artful manner using the girl/monster/demon horror angle as clever metaphores. Personally, I thought Buffy began running out of creative juice awhile ago and became rather spotty. Angel has held up betterm, and I think it was the better of the two the past couple of years). Actually,

I may be wrong about this, but I read somewhere that TNT (now Spike TV) would start airing DS9 in 2004 or 2005. I'm not sure what the rationale for such a late date is, unless it's syndication rights won't be up for grabs again until then, perhaps? [Message Edited]

Reply to Star Trek Thread in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Actually the seeds of Babylon5 go back to the 80s. Oddly enough, JMS did pitch Babylon5 to Paramount back in late 89, which ultimately led to grumblings about DS9 being lifted from from Babylon 5, though I really doubt much of that. Eventually, the Babylon5 pilot aired in '92 IIRC, with the seriees eventually premiering in 93, the same year DS9 premeried. DS9 did last longer than Bablyon5 but then from the outset, JMS structured Babylon5 much like a novel and was only meant to run 5 ye

Yes, I remember StarFleet battles. About 20 or so years ago, my friend, the war-gaming fanatic had it. I remember playing it a couple times. My eyes glazed over trying to understand the rules. IIRC about 5 or so years ago, a software game, modelled after StarFleet battles was released As for Trek, I enjoyed the orginal series and TNG. I only saw parts of DS9, but being a huge Babylon5 fan, I look forward to watching DS9 in it's entiretiy, seeing as how thematically it has much in common

Once you install Rainlendar, you should find a Skins folder under it. For example: C:\Program Files\Rainlendar\Skins Under there, you'll find a folder for each Rainlendar skin installed. Assuming that the files in the zip are structured under a folder with the skins's name, unzip the Rainlendar skin into the Skins directory. For instance: C:\program files\rainlendar\Skins\SomeNewSkin Sysmetrix is very similar. Assuming you have Sysmetrix installed, you'll find a Themes

as IPlural says the moderators do the approviing. In the case of wallpapers, not all wallpapers make it pass moderation, since the moderators try to apply a certain level of quality when it comes to determining whether a wallpaper makes it past approval. This keeps the wallpaper library from being overwhelmed. In the case of application skins, I think the moderators only try to check if the skin is original and not a rip of someone else's skin. I think updates to skins

It may also may depend on how close DarkMist wants to be the UK. The east coast/north east is the closest to it. But again, that may not an issue for him Manchester NH has a large and growing airport though I don't know if they have flights directly to the UK. I imagine for intl flights you'd have to fly out of Boston's Logan Airport, unless you fly out of Manchester and get a connecting flight somewhere. It's been awhile since I've flown out of Manchester regularly

Depends on what you're looking for (for instance: work, traffic, taxes and so on For instance, New Hampshire doesn't have any state income tax nor does it have any sales tax.

Just because someone makes a blanket statement that they or others use IRC for file swapping doesn't make it so. It's basically an IM session with multiple people. Does that mean AIM/MSN/ICQ are used primarily for fileswapping and not for the simple pleasure of interaction? IRC chatter can be as synchronous or as asynchronous as you want. You can chat away as much or as little as you want. You can simply idle in the channel and ocassonally peek in and scroll back up to see if s

I don't know if this is relevant, but if the skin list in the Appearances tab's dropdown list is inaccurate as to what skins are really installed on your computer, you can go to you windowblinds directory and delete any files with the extention .CAT the .CAT file is used to hold the list of installed skins whicfh the appearances tab uses to display in the drop down list.

Reply to NextSTART newbie question... in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

A theme in NextStart doesn't automatically place items (menus, bars, buttons) on your desktop. A theme in NextStart merely skins these items. YOU have to configure the desktop the way you want, in this case a MAC-like desktop layout. A NextStart theme only encompasses the look, not the configuration, which in my mind is a good thing. You define new popup menus and how they display (via clicking the desktop, bumping the screen edge, displayed vertically, horizontally...) You can
