There's a link on the left side of the page in the Resources box which says Subscriber Resources. There are 2 premium subscriber skins there which are included with your subscription. Universe Metal is a separate product, not included in your subscription.

If you click on Edit Account, then click on Theme Manager, you'll see there are several WinCustomize site themes. If you're talking about Universe Metal, which is the default theme, a full suite, including WindowBlinds, is available for purchase here: https://www.stardock.com/products/universemetal/

Reply to what is the age Limit for WinCust Users in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

harrison1701, no one is patronizing UzEE. United States law requires members to be at least 13 years old to sign up on a web site such as this. WinCustomize is hosted in the US, and so it is bound by that law. Beyond that, age is not a factor here. People are judged by their contributions and interaction, not by their age.

Reply to convert .ico file to .png ?? better quality ? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Theoretically, the .ico format could be better quality because the author has the opportunity to provide several different sizes within the same file. With the .png format, ObjectDock has to generate all of the sizes on the fly, which may or may not look as good. It&nbspalmost always&nbsplooks just as good&nbspthough.

Reply to logoff buttons background in the Start panel in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

In a few cases, I have adjusted the logoff button background image so that the visible part only appears behind the text next to the buttons. It's better than no highlight, and it's better than the solid colored box. Another approach is to make the bottom bar of the start menu a solid color and make the mouseover color the same, so that the mouseover color is 'invisible' when you mouse over it.

You are correct, J. SkinZ. One is contrary to the other, unfortunately. Some folks have come up with some clever ways to work around it though, as CerebroJD said.

Styl, it doesn't have to match up pixel for pixel to be a rip. If you make your own graphics and layout that look just like someone else's, it's still stealing. It see

I'm just telling you what my first impression was. If the thought crossed my mind, it will&nbsplikely&nbspoccur to&nbspothers too. I shall elaborate. That "Go" button is almost identical to the TSF site, as well as the way you arrange your content in boxes, each in two columns, down the page. Also, what is that round play button looking thingy? It looks like the TSF logo to me. The color scheme is also very similar. You also have your logo dead center at the top of the page, with the

In all honesty, my first thought when I saw the site was that it looked like a washed out version of The Skins Factory's site.

Reply to I GIVE UP in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

Pull down items support both TGA translucency and BMP magic pink transparency. With TGA, the only suggestion I can make is that your are sure the file is saved correctly (32bit with alpha channel). I'm told Photoshop CS doesn't save TGA's with the alpha channel like PS7 does, so that would be a problem. I've never tried importing a PNG, so I don't know how well that works. I always save my TGA's directly from PS7.

Reply to Is This Possible? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

It isn't possible with WindowBlinds due to limitations in the operating system. It could, of course, be done with a replacement taskbar through DesktopX or Objectbar though.

You need to cross reference your WinCustomize account with your Stardock account. Just click on the "Edit Account" link at the top of the page, then click on "Cross Reference with your Stardock Account" link and follow the instructions. That should do it.

SkinStudio probably has a more automated way to do it, but that's just how I learned it.

Reply to Substyle applying different start,horiz arrow, and Programs arrow in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

Shellstyles work the same way, only they're controlled by the .xps file. Just make a copy of that and do the same thing you did when you duplicated the .xp file.

Reply to Substyle applying different start,horiz arrow, and Programs arrow in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

I would just make a copy of your .xp file and give it a different name. Then edit the main file for your subskin (in notepad)&nbspand change the line that points to the .xp file. That's the simplest way to do it.

Reply to Substyle applying different start,horiz arrow, and Programs arrow in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

You need to make sure each substyle has it's own .xp file. That file contains all of the XP bits, such as the taskbar and start menu. The main .uis or .sss file contains the reference to the .xp file for that subskin.

I would just check for available domain names as you think of them. If the domain isn't available, it will help you narrow down your list considerably. I spent a day plugging in domain names until I came up with Skinsmith.com and SkinPlant.com. I couldn't decide which to get, so I registered them both.
