Reply to A killing doubt in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I have that problem too, Adni18. Also, I regret that I got a laptop with only 12MB of video RAM and I cannot upgrade it. My video adaptor is permenantly built in, and the resolution is limited by what the display can handle. I do have a nice big display though. Next time I buy a laptop, video RAM and resolution will be a major part of my decision making criteria. At the time I bought this one, it was about as close to a high powered desktop machine as you could get. These days, you can

Reply to A bone to pick with Donovan! in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Thanks for clarifying that, paxx. I have heard of Donovan, and I'm familiar with Mellow Yellow, but I didn't know that he was the song writer. I also didn't recall the line about the electrical banana. It all makes sense now .. well, as much sense as electrical bananas can make. /me wonders if Fourteen is a persons name or if Donovan had something in common with Jerry Lee Lewis. <img src="http://images.stardock

Reply to Will your cable modem bills be going up? in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

That's a scary thought. Time Warner has increased my bill 3 times in as many years. It has gone from $35 per month to $50. I used to get a reduced rate for subscribing to cable TV, but not anymore. If they decide to restrict my bandwidth on top of this, I'll have to start considering some alternatives. </A

Reply to What do you do for motivation? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I usually spend a couple of hours looking at skins on WinCustomize and forget about the project I'm supposed to be working on. I agree with Chris that music helps quite a bit. But sometimes I just have to let a new project sink in for a day and when I wake up in the morning I am better prepared to tackle it. <img src="http

Try right clicking the download link and choosing Save target as ... That way you can save them anywhere you want and you won't lose them. After that, you should be able to double-click the .logonxp file and have it automatically import into logon studio.

Reply to Help!!!!!!!!! in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Ok, take a deep breath. As I posted in your aquaamp thread, this site has skins and themes to use with various programs. Each library on this site has a small block at the top of the page that tells you what program you need for the skins/themes in that library.

Reply to New Theme in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Well, you don't have to worry about the start menu. Even with WindowBlinds, you're stuck with the classic one on 98. As for the desktop icons, WindowBlinds will not hide them on you. If you don't see them in a screenshot, it is only because the author chose to hide them when the screenshot was made. They will not disappear if you apply a WindowBlinds skin.

Salete cechin, If your icons changed, then you must have IconPackager installed. Look in your start menu under programs for IconPackager and open it. In there you will see an option to restore default Windows icons.

Reply to Mac Backgrounds in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

There are a number of Mac-ish backgrounds in the wallpaper library here. Just search the library for words like Mac, Apple, Aqua, OSX. You won't find any actual Mac wallpapers here though. They are copyrighted property of Apple.

Speaking of icons ... in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I was just changing the icons for some of my most used programs, and I realized there are no full size, 32-bit XP icons for Stardock products. I'd love to have some nice XP icons for SkinStudio, WindowFX, SkinBrowser, ObjectBar, DesktopX, IconPackager, Component Manager, etc. Anyone else? Maybe the folks at Stardock have already been thinking about this. They're usually one step ahead of me (at least).
