The Blur feature and effecting Shadows in WindowBlinds Tutorials WinCustomize Forums

Ok so your a skinner, you make a skin with transparency and you've added a shadow to your frames and such. Now you want to add the blurring feature to your skin but you get something like this... hum... now we have a problem cause that looks like hell. But take notice, the image is square but the blur is effecting only SOME of the whole image area for that part of the frame. So whats happening here? This

Reply to No Mac zealots, Apple didn't invent the dock in Personal Computing Stardock Forums

Gotta love those Mac people... Apple has so filled thier heads so full of lies and advertising bs that they can't see the truth anymore. Nothing against Apple itself, its a good computer and OS but between the commercials and the 'Macnatics' (my own word, mac+fanatics) I'm not sure I could ever get back into them.

Reply to Some themes do not come with enough icons in MyColors WinCustomize Forums

From someone who has done a few Icon Packages, it takes a good 100+ icons to do a 'full set' of icons for IP. Its nearly insane if you think about it. A set with 50+ is a good set and will cover most items. But you have to also remember there are alot of programs with thier own file types and so forth that may never see the light of day on your 'average' persons computer. Its a judgment call and time consideration on the skinners part just how much they want to do.

Reply to HUGE Vista Wallpaper bug in Wallpapers WinCustomize Forums

hum.. ok so I did notice a funny 'stryation' effect to the horizontal lines on the executive wallpaper.. I took a screenshot, chopped it in 1/2 with the actual wallpaper itself. This is full sized so you'll have to enlarge it to notice, on the left is the screenshot on the right is the actual wallpaper, its divided right down the center with a red stroke. (never even noticed this before, very strange.) [img]http://skasch.com/images/FunnyVistaWallpaperThing.jpg[/img]

I've never noticed any 'washout' or misalignment or pixelization or anything wrong for that matter on mine. Running Vista Ultimate (SP1) with an 8800 nVidia card (latest drivers) and a 24" 1080 ultraclear. I'll double check but pretty sure it has more to do with the drivers then the actual OS itself.

All looks good to me ( I digress from making a comment on the "downgrading" to Vista). A "Team Suite" competition would be awesome but also a major pain to judge and pull together. If there were such an event things like Cursors, Docks and so forth would play a roll. Maybe there could be a sort of 'side competition' as an exploratory event this year (ie. not an 'actual' event but a trial run at such). The real Olympics do that kind of thing I just can't recall what they call them. <

:SNIFF!: Such a sad day and for such a useless meaningless purpose. As an long time member (though I didn't get around to SA as much as I would have liked) and knowing alot of the people there I feel your pain. As an Admin at Skinning.net I know just how much time and effort can go into maintaining such a community site and the bonds formed at places like SA. SA was not only a partner to us but a friend as well. Hopefully in some fashion or another we will see the site again :

Yeah its the end of day 6 and it looked alot better today. Hopefully any new thunderstorms they say might be coming soon (like tonight and/or tomorrow) wont start more fires like the last one started these :p I'm in Grass Valley, thats about an hour up from Sac., none of the fires were threatening here but if you look at the sat. pic. you'll see I'm under that really 'whitish' section of smoke.
