The problem on non-English XP systems usually occurs when the "All Programs" text has been forced off the menu and an extra wide arrow image is used, which usually contains the text within it (as seen in the CyberSkin example). The skinner will adjust the content margins enough to push the English phrase "All Programs" off the menu, but on a non-English sytem, the phrase can be longer or shorter, leaving the arrow image misaligned. We haven't done this with any of the Unorth

MikeB314 thinks SuperheroCanadian is very insightful. I don't have a clue, but it sounds cool to me. I wonder if Paxx and I can combine our powers to become Ultra Mega Wizop Supreme.

You can't have a space in your site name. I'm guessing that if you're trying to get Richard Mohler.wincustomize.com, that's the problem.

Butch, this is not an unmodified theme. The author didn't make a WindowBlinds skin, he made an msstyle. In my opinion, converting it is a form of modification.

There is a readme.txt file in there that came with the original msstyle. There is nothing from the author giving you permission to port it and post it.

Photoshop ... mainly because I started using it in college and used it at every job I've had since. I've never really tried PSP or Corel Draw.

I'm not clear on the problem. Are you being asked to renew your WC subscription before it has expired, or has it actually expired? WC subscriptions are $20 for 2 years. Either way, you shouldn't have any download cap since you are a Stardock customer.

With the exception of High-Fidelity, the rest are just random wallpapers I had on my computer. Recoloring them and posting them would be a copyright violation. Hippy made the Hi-Fidelity wallpaper, so he can do whatever he wants with that.
