[quote]I lived in Brisbane, well Redland Bay, and it was NEVER hot, [/quote] I agree. The further north I lived, the less hot and stuffy the Summers were (at least in the years I lived there). Townsvillle was way less hot than Lismore. Lismore got these really horrible Northerlys which turned the (not-insulated) iron-roof of my little house into a perfect pizza-oven. Townsville got much more rain during the same time and everything had the chance to cool down ag

Spoiled brats!! [e digicons];P[/e] It's grey, dark, cold and foggy here. And when I say cold, I don't just mean a 9°C "cold snap" either!!! (that's what they used to say in Townsville). Care to send some of your heat north? [e digicons]:)[/e]

Reply to The end of WinCustomize in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

By merging the site to Stardock and making it a pure commercial/business venture you are taking away a big incentive (for me, but maybe for others too) for subscribing to WC. That is "supporting the skinners" now becomes suddenly "supporting a commercial business". Not sure how to react to that... [e digicons]:\[/e]

Reply to I wish the rules had live folders as a must do in GUI Championships WinCustomize Forums

Although I understand the reason behind allowing XP-skins it is a bit disapointing to see all these high-class but outdated skins uploaded. Not just the IP's but also the XP-only WB-skins that have been uploaded recently. I am pretty sure that most of the skinners could have asked a friend to test their skins in Vista before uploading them. But as Vista compatibility is not a requirement, some of the skinners might not have seen a reason/incentive to make their skins Vista ready

Free graphics program in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

For those that are after a free paint program or just want to try out something different: Project Dogwaffle is a paint program which also includes animation features. I am no graphic-artist, and I have not enough experience to rate this program, but I think it is worth a try (especially at this price). [e digicons]:)[/e]

Reply to Impulse Phase 2X Beta in Personal Computing Stardock Forums

"Update"-tab doesn't change colour if updates are available. (Yes, I noticed the writing in the left hand corner, but it is not as obvious as a red tab) Otherwise it feels faster than the last version. I like the blue too. I still miss the ability to drag/move certain items from one tab to another. E.g I have moved the MyColors-suites to another tab so they don't clogg-up the 'Desktop'-tab. This was only possible by dragging the items from within the Impulse-dock to the newly cr

Reply to What i have been missing in RightClick in Community WinCustomize Forums

[quote]It doesn't play well with Vista x64 so stay wary. [/quote]. RightClick works fine on Vista64 here, I have been using it for more than a year, and just installed it on a second Vista64-bit system.The only thing that doesn't work on some systems is the WB-skin import feature, which means you have to download and apply the skins manually.

Reply to Removed 6.3 from XP Pro 64Bit 100% Cpu Usage in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

[quote]Nope, since 32 and 64 bit are specified for Vista, not being specified for XP means no 64 bit support, if 64 bit was not specified for Vista then your argument would/could hold true. It is called semantics.[/quote] You might be right, but it is just not clear and as such just not fair to the potential customer. I lost count on how many times I had to write emails to Software-developers and ask them "If you say 'Vista', do you mean both 32b
