The correct spelling is "Aleksyandr". That may save some frustration.

I never made a skin called Toxic. I believe that was by Michael Brandt.

Reply to How to change color of filenames? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

WindowBlinds compresses skin files now. The color of compressed files in Windows is blue. Unfortunately, there is no way to change that color with WindowBlinds. However, you can disable the coloring of compressed files. In Windows Explorer, chose Folder Options from the Tools menu. Select the View tab, and uncheck "Show encrypted or compressed NTFS files in color." [Message Edited]

Custom coloring will change the colored parts of the skin, but will leave the&nbspgreyscale shades alone. Maybe all the other skins you looked at were mostly shades of grey?

What effect? Light blue gradually fading to darker blue? That's what a gradient is. If you're telling me you rendered that in a 3D app, I think you wasted your money.

Reply to Is the windows enhancement community ready for heavy graphic skins? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Styl, this looks no less "photoshop" than anything else. You used gradients? Genius... Also, is the light source at the top or the bottom? I don't think your Start menu knows.

Personally, I'm more interested in originality than what app was used to make the skin.&nbspSome people just seem caught up in trying to reproduce what others have done.

Reply to Question about Windowblinds in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

WindowBlinds runs in the background as long as you're using a skin, but keep in mind that it also unloads the WindowsXP skinning engine, so you are not running both at the same time. As for signing up for the message board, you're not required to buy anything. The only time you might need to make any purchase is after you've exceeded the free 50MB download limit. Even then, you can still post on the board, you just can't download anything else. As for spyware, like Koasati sai

I heard that Jimmy asked Alice to the prom, but Alice was already going with Dave, even though Dave has a crush on Jenny, and now Jenny's going with Jimmy. Scandalous! Oh, how I don't miss High School.

You know, most of us started skinning because we had something specific in mind we wanted as a skin, and the best person to do exactly the skin you want is nobody else but yourself. Definately. It looks like you have a decent start there too. I think you should polish that up a bit, make a matching window, and dig in to SkinStudio. <img src="

Incorrect. People see an icon showing new comments on their own work when they look at their My Skins page. If you got an error, I suggest you try commenting again. I've never seen PREDATOR50001 post on the message board, so there's a good chance he won't see this here.

First, open up Theme Manager. Then, go to File -&gt New Suite. Click the "Use Current Desktop" button, give it a name, and save it. That's it. You can't upload that because it would be redistributing other people's work, but it is an easy way for you save themes for your own use. There's a slightly longer process to go through if you want to link to other people's skins online and upload the suite here.

#25 by Skinner romanda - 9/2/2004 6:18:08 PM So the moral of this story is, Ask and ye might be granted? The moral of the story is submit decent original works to the site and ye might get promoted. The asking only brought it to my attention. The work you've contributed earned you the promotion.

Upon careful review ... yada yada yada ... it looks to me like you've contributed plenty to deserve a promotion from Citizen. So, I dub thee Apprentice romanda. Just leave the keys under the seat when you're done detailing my car.
