Aha, well, now the next person who replies won't make the same mistakes I did. I have a theory on Dmn-Tweak-R2. It is possible that it does include toolbar icons, only they are the default XP icons. If you open the skin in SkinStudio, navigate to the Toolbar Icons section, and delete them from

Dmn-Tweak-R2 does not include toolbar icons, which is why you don't see them. As for G-Pod, there is a checkbox in the My Toolbars section of your WindowBlinds settings labeled "Use the WindowBlinds coloring settings on these icons". You need to check that for custom coloring to be applied to them.

Actually, it's a shareware version. The idea is that you can try it out and see if you like it before you buy it. You miss out on some of the best features of WindowBlinds skins with the shareware version. It's well worth the $20, although the whole Object Desktop suite for $50 is an even better deal.

I'm not sure about the WC browser itself, but Stardock Central tells you when your accounts expire. Just go to Settings and click on WinCustomize, and you should see the expiration date.

I think you have to live with it, or add those programs to WindowFX's list of applications to ignore. The problem stems from those programs not really removing the "hidden" parts and simply making them invisible. WindowFX doesn't know they're invisible and adds a shadow to them.

The classic start menu warning always pops up. It looks like you're using the XP start menu anyway, and your icons obviously changed, so don't worry about that. I think the problem is that you're not using 32bit color, which is required for smooth alpha-blended edges. Open your display properties, go to the settings tab, and make sure 32bit color is selected there.

The old skins are right under the newer ones. You can just browse the WB and IP galleries and jump ahead several pages at a time until you get back far enough. They're all displayed in chronological order. Also, once you're browsing a library, you can click on the box in the search area at the top of the page that says "DESC" and switch to to "ASC", then click Go. That will allow you to browse the library starting with the oldest skins first.

Right-click the file and go to Properties... On the General tab, you should see "Opens with" followed by the name of the default program, and a button to change it. Just click the Change button and choose the appropriate application as the default program.

I thought Palpatine's master told him a story about a Sith who could create life... Either way, that's an intriguing idea given that Anakin was reportedly conceived without a father.

As a skinner, I'm obviously partial to WindowBlinds, but we always have WindowBlinds contests. DesktopX 3 is really cool, and lots of people are making things for it these days. I think a contest might raise the bar a little.
