You could try using Windows Key + M. That will minimize all your windows, but I'm not sure if it will minimize DesktopX also.

If you click "show desktop" again, it should re-show DesktopX and your other open windows. It works like a toggle switch. An alternative to using that shortcut button is using Windows Key + D on your keyboard. Also, you only need to start one thread.

Reply to User Pane (Windowblinds) in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

This is because the user picture box is built into the user pane image, rather than being included as a separate image. What you need to do is open the user pane image in an image editor and remove the box for the user picture. Often you can just select an area next to the box, copy it, and paste it over the box to cover it up. Then just save it and reload the skin.

Reply to User Websites... in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

It was fine to say "hey, I've got stuff about the RIAA on my site too", but from there it was starting to turn into a discussion about the RIAA rather than about the web sites themselves. That's all. Now I'm steering us off topic, so I'm going to stop typing now.

Reply to Does anyone use Pocket Blinds or have Pocket PC's period? in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

I use my PocketPC every day. I haven't made a new skin for PocketBlinds in a while, but I'd like to see more. Mine is an older machine and it runs the old PocketPC operating system, so I think I'd be more enthusiastic if I had a new one. Hopefully I can get one sometime soon. I also have a color phone that runs java games and applications, but the screen is so small and the graphics so limited, it doesn't come close to what my PocketPC can do.

Reply to Craftsman vs Snap-on vs MAC Tools vs ??? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

In terms of hand tools, I prefer Craftsman for their quality and lifetime replacement guarantee. I think Milwaukee makes the best power tools, however. I've seen their cordless drills drop 2 floors onto concrete and suffer little more than a scratch. Both are made in the USA, of course. You know how we "Yanks" are about American tools.

Do you mean it doesn't show in some skins, or it doesn't show sometimes while using the same skin?

Reply to WindowBlinds Start-menu in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

That's not normal, but it seems like I've read about that here before. You might want to send an email to [email protected] . If it's something they've encountered before, they'll probably have a fix for you. Otherwise, maybe someone here will know the solution.

Reply to WindowBlinds Start-menu in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

What version of Windows are you using? WB can only skin the start menu on XP. Also, if you are using the classic start menu, it won't be skinned. You have to have the XP style start menu enabled.

Reply to The Fall in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Got it. I think the fact that it was being restored to public view and updated at the same time confused the script or something, preventing it from showing in the updated skins list. I just put it back into moderation and approved it again and all was well.

It's listed as WinCustomize Tray and it's on the WinCustomize tab. I looked all over the Object Dekstop tab for it.

Reply to Icons & Backgrounds in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Most WindowBlinds skins don't include icons or wallpaper. Normally you have to download them individually. Can you give an example?

Reply to Skin comments - edited? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Hehe. Typically, skins are not moderated for quality. They are only rejected if they use copyrighted or ripped graphics without permission.
