Strange, it should appear in your list of skins then. Have you tried right clicking your desktop, going to properties, then clicking the Appearance tab and seeing if the skins are listed there? I don't know if that's how you usually apply your WB skins, but that's how I do it in XP.

What c242 means is you create the graphics for your theme in something like Photoshop, and then build your theme from within DesktopX itself.

You won't find a better skinning site than this one. It's an honour for me to be involved with it. And, take it from me, the guys over at Stardock are some of the nicest people you will ever meet. I cannot stress that enough. I sometimes deal with them "behind the scenes", and they are a real caring bunch of folks who will go out of their way to help you. And as you know, most of the admins here are volunteers, and I can tell you that they are extremely dedicated and passionate about WinCust

I think that equates to 4am-5am in England, but I don't finish work until 5am, (I work nights remember) and it's usually around 5:45am by the time I get in the house and turn the 'puter on. So it wouldn't really help me. You see Brad, this is what happens when you have an international group of helpers! Now, if you just sponsor me for my green card, I'll move over to Michigan and that will solve the problem

Installation was a complete screw up!!! Everything that could go wrong DID!! The worst thing is, I had to leave it in that state as I am now on holiday in Scotland, and it won't get fixed till friday! Fortunately, my sister has this broadband connection so I'm not missing out on my WinCusto!!

Graphicsgod: $150 may be "chump change" to you, but I can assure you it ain't to me! I have two kids a mortgage a dog and a cat. Like I said before: "If you have a big monitor and a fancy graphics card, consider yourself lucky." Looking forward to your first multi-res theme

So, Amish Boy, you think we skinners and artists are being abused? hmmmmmm...... I wonder how many of my 150 wallpapers you downloaded? If it will make you feel better you can send me $10 for each one you have, thereby bypassing Wincustomize and helping the artist directly! When can I expect my check? I won't hold my breath...................

The themes that I make are 1024x768 (at the moment) because that is the maximum resolution that I can run at on my system. It's hard to make a bigger res theme because you wouldn't be able to see where you were putting objects etc. If you have a big monitor and a graphics card that can support higher resolutions, you should consider yourself lucky as some of us can't afford to upgrade. And you could always make your own themes Graphicsgod2: with a name like that, surely you could ma

Feline: Actually I have mastered a mystical art, I studied Hypnosis for about six years. Well, I know it's not really dark or mystical, but you would be surprised how many people consider it to be so! /me swings his watch in front of Feline....."You will give me all your chocolate.....and you won't remember who you gave it to............"

I was a Litestep user and themer, and stumbled across DesktopX. I soon realised I could escape from the nightmare of the .steprc! I purchased it soon after. DX gives me an awful lot of pleasure, although I am no expert. I am striving to achieve the perfect desktop, one that I won't want to change, ever! /me goes to change his theme.......again

I am about to fit a new hard drive in my system, (thanks to the generosity of a real nice person!) so if you don't see me for a while it means I have trashed my system in the upgrade. It will be nice to have more than 3Gbs of space, you wouldn't believe the amount of stuff I have to delete every month when my drive fills up with images that I make. Wish me luck, and I hope to see you soon!! <br

I use 5.5 too, and I think it's just fine as well! I tried a demo of 6 when it came out, but I just couldn't get along with it. I don't know how much you would get for your copy of 7, but if you didn't pay for it then I guess that whatever you get for it is a bonus. I hope you sell it!
