#28 by craeonics - 8/14/2004 1:01:24 PM Dude, if you can't come up with an original name, what to expect from your business then? Kind of has a point there... are you doing branding? If you are you 'should' be able to come up with something. No offense to Skindicate, but that sounds more "mob" style than business style. (even the tag line is l

Reply to .. in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Funny, because most of the people I show this stuff too love it. I usually don't mention the word "skinning" until I explain what it is: Desktop Customization. I have been in this community for so long I forget sometimes that others do no know what skinning is. I am trying to get my friends into it more. I am even planning to buy a few of them Object Desktop or WindowBlinds subscriptions. WHAT A NICE FRIEND I AM!!! <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/lol.gif" border=0 ALI

On the verge of an epiphany!!! About to create one of the largest skins report on-line in years!!!! in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

OK guys, don't ask why I am doing this but I LOVE SKINNING!!! So here is the deal: A long time ago I wrote up a desktop customization report on mainstream skinning. I planed to have another one and while writing the second one I realized I needed a third one. So now its three parts. At a specific point I decided to ask what other people in the community felt about mainsteam skinning and its effect. Mayne of you here (well maybe not so many) probably gotten that email a while ag

Reply to Quicklaunch buttons in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I have an idea, but its more of a workaround. Don't show the quicklaunch toobar and create another toolbar (as in user created) the user created toobars have more options like text, no text and stuff like that. You can increase the icon size on user creaet toobars. Just have the user created one go to the quicklaunch folder. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/sb.gif" border=0

Reply to CursorXP and XP SP2 in Stardock Software WinCustomize Forums

Well, I know I won't be updateing to SP2 anytime soon. I need my Cursor XP!!! Anyway, they probably will come up with a fix (unless there is something else going on with your computer... check for spyware and any viris) Also, try to chat with some of the developers on the stardock user forums newsgroups. That might help. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/sb.gif" border=0 ALIG

I saw that on other computers too, but I never asked how they made the quicklaunch icons big. Look through some of the screenshots and maybe you'll find someone with big quickstart icons and email them to ask them how they did that.

Reply to Outsourcing is Good in Current Events JoeUser Forums

To that I would say that many Americans live pretty well compared to their counterparts in other countries. I just think that all this outsourcing eventually comes back to the USA in money and good relationships (not to mention world stabability... if a country can have something is a way of an economy it is less likely to become a criminal haven)

Anybody use Dogpile as their toolbar? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

You know, one of the only reasons why I use IE is because of the useful toolbars. I love Google and is a mainstay on my explorer windows. Then Frogboy talked about Alexa toolbar and now I have that. So it would seem that everything is all good, but then I come across Dogpile. The search engine is cool but I really like the RSS feed. I, of course, have it set to my own blogs as well as JoeUser and Modblog blogs, but I also have it sell for ZDNET and Downloads.com and some other news plac

Reply to Small problem with SP2 and Wincustomize site in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Well, I didn't download it yet. so far my computer acts as if its safe so I will wait a few months before I get it. I go to those sites that scan your computer for faults but so far everything is closed. Anyway, from what Jafo says, I think I will consider PowerDesk Pro anyway. I still currently can not download skins directly after pressing DOWNLOAD. I try to set it for automatic download but it still won't work. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/
