Heh, Trans, was that a wide angle lens or do you really look like that? This icon kind of looks like my picture!

Hey, there's little old me on page 4!! It's a little confusing actually, as it looks as though I'm called "Musician", but it's a magazine cover and it does say BoXXi, but in much smaller writing. Second row from the bottom, far right, holding a guitar, if you want to laugh at me

Reply to Need help with DesktopX in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Sheesh! that's a good one! Try this: Go to C:\Program Files\Object Desktop\DesktopX\Themes and RIGHT CLICK on the theme that is giving the problem, when the menu appears, choose "open with", "WinZip executable". When winzip displays the contents of the theme, look for something like a cpu meter or plug-in, and right click it and choose delete. There's probably an easier way , but I don't know it! Have

Hmmmm....... I never heard this one before. If it only does it with certain themes, then I suspect it will be a rogue plug-in. Do all the themes that display this problem have one particular plug-in in common, such as a performance meter or something like that? I had some problems with a similar plug-in, but it didn't manifest itself this way. Try dumping any cpu meters or similar from the theme and see if it helps. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/boxxi.gif" border=0 ALIGN

I don't think you should put any time constraints on making a skin or wallpaper. If you are doing this for fun,(which I assume you are, as there is no profit to be made for most of us!)just take as long as you need to produce something that YOU would like to use on YOUR desktop. Too many people pump out bland, "template" skins, as I call them, to satisfy their needs as "download junkies", and this ultimately affects overall quality of sites like this. Being "old school", I am used to quality

Reply to LiteSTEP...to 'OTS' or to not... in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Well, as you know Jafo, I was a BIG Litestep fan for about 2 years, but with the advent of OTS, and the demise of Litestep.net, I just gave it up and moved on to DesktopX. I thought the new standard was a pain in the butt, as I had got used to doing things a certain way,(theme switching etc.) and I just couldn't be bothered starting all over again, and anyway, I had been lured away by objects and zoomers and such. I must say though, I DO miss Litestep.net, I used to love trawling through th
