I allways wondered about this possibility, when I saw some of the skins phoning home for updates, and opening control windows and such. I thought that there was alot of power not being tapped on this and how long it would be before being exploited. What a shame. But it is just typical of how the edge is once again being shown by the "badguys." Maybe there should be a quality of standardds when it comes to programs allowing that kind of operability with your system. I mean a bartender can be held

Well Here I am sitting with My newest kitten on my tummy and thinking about what makes me Happy. What brings the small joys to our Hearts, and what is soothing when things are going wrong? What are we greatfull for? What makes the load less of a burden? I figured we could use a thread of encouragement and a place to list the things we think of each day that brings a smile to the lips and a spring to the step. Share the thoughts that you have and maybe spread something nice in the process.<br

I use Firefox and you can add literally hundreds of different kinds of searches to it. http://mycroft.mozdev.org/download.html I love FireFox and have been using it for about 9 months now, and I'll never go back to IE. If i could get it off (IE) without breaking half the system, I would do it in an instant. I used to be an IE Fan, and actually bought a copy of it when it sold in BestBuy as an individual Product. Now if I had that Box somewhere it would probably be worth something.

may be it wouldn't hurt to have an unofficial faq / repository of things that folks learn. I mean common oversights in using, and designing for the Stardock programs. Maybe for general design aesthetics, and common areas of design bugs (authors notice when designing.) Maximizing the screenshot to best give an overview of a skin. Instead of having to reinvent the wheel everytime a skin is done, this could smooth things out for beginners, or even the common designer, who just might be forgetfu

on the topic of comments,and screen shots. I am curious..... Is there any kind of set format for the screen shots of an applied skin? I am starting to see, a few of the WB Screenshots that do not include, any windows. I mean all that is shown is the start Menu and Taskbar area. People that comment on this are being ignored, as if it doesn't matter. I wonder because this is a bad attitude to adopt.
