What is your most embarassing moment ever? We've all had them, so come on, recount them here so that you can be embarassed all over again! Here's mine to start it off......... Back in the days of disco, I was heading for the dance floor in a nightclub which had three shallow steps leading onto it. The heels on shoes were quite high in those days, (70's) and as I got to the top step I got my heel caught on it. I flew onto the dance floor like an Exocet missile and head butted a girl

You can download DXToys from here, I'm sure. If you do a search in the Desktop X section limiting it to "Plug-in's", you should come across it. Good luck. By the way, if you need any help with other bits of DX, just mail me and if I can help I will.
The categories are decided by the administrators of the site. New additions are added to the "Highlighted" area, and if there is sufficient interest over a given period then they are added to the main list. You could check the other sites like Deviantart or lotsofskins to see if they have a category for your skin.....
A Dachsund DX theme?!! Hmmm, I'll have to think about that one! I assume we are talking about the little sausage dogs?
I know that many of you like to work in 3D programs like Bryce or 3DS Max, so if you want to see some quality 3D work you should take a look at this site. The work is by one of our own members (mismis), who is obviously extremely talented. Visit the gallery area to see what I mean. Here is the link... http://www.trhlogos.dk/
I think that in Bryce, you have to choose "Export" rather than "save", and then you can save in different formats. It's been a while since I used Bryce, but I used to export them as .psd files straight into my Photoshop folder. I hope this helps.
Monty, you can upload a .jpg as long as it's in a .zip, so go ahead and upload. And, don't forget that your screenshot must be full size and not thumbnail size as we generate the thumbnail from your full size image. So many people make this mistake and we just have to ask them to re-upload. /me goes back to e-mailing people with tiny screenshots....*sigh*
Paul Oberlin & Jafo: Ithink what Adni18 is asking is, how long have you two been in the skinning game? Is that right Nikos?
Window Blinds users do NOT have a cult mentality, they just recognise quality. And why should we have time or tolerance for a substandard product?
The most important thing to remember when using Magic Pink is to turn antialiasing OFF. If you end up with a pink halo around your image, then you have used antialiasing on one of your tools.
Hey Jafo, is it my imagination, or is the spelling getting better on this site? Maybe it's because there aren't many Aussies posting....
Leet: Young geek's word for "cool", only it really isn't cool at all.
Sheesh! Aussies! Can't live with 'em, can't kill 'em...... Actually Jafo, I have absolutely ZERO interest in cricket, I think it's the most boring game ever invented. So if England get their butts kicked whilst playing it, I will lose no sleep. I like football (Soccer to our American friends), and any sport that requires an engine. I also quite like aussie rules footy!
I don't get too many, but then again, I get LOADS of mail to my Yahoo account, because that's the one I use whenever I fill in a form on the net. No doubt it's been sold many times over. Paxx: I don't think e-mails are harvested from here because I don't get any spam to my prime e-mail address.
I'm sure Paxx will be a valuable member of our team. Welcome aboard Patrick.
That if you request copies of programs from other members of this site, you WILL be exiled. I still find it hard to believe that people ask for pirate copies of Stardock software on a website owned by Stardock!!! So, once again, DO NOT ask people to "GIFT" you a copy of ANY application. Thank you.
I just re-installed it and it appears to be working o.k. now. Thanks for the help guys.......
I have had WB3 since it came out, so it can't be that. Any other ideas?
I don't have any skins listed in that drop down box, only the two that came with XP, "windows classic" and "XP". Also, I have everything set to show, including "show icon in system tray", and "run WB at startup". Desktop X is running o.k., so is icon packager, but WB won't load no matter what I do.
I just installed Windows XP Professional, and now Window Blinds doesn't work. I can run the config window but it won't apply any skins. I have the latest version of WB, so I have no idea what is going on. Any ideas? Also, it refuses to show in the systray.
I still want it, no matter how it works!
China: I'm ready with my knife and fork..........
Gimmee, Gimmee, Gimmee!! I want it NOW! Brad you are so cruel, teasing us with this. My friend came to my house yesterday with his Apple Powerbook running osx, and I thought that feature looked real cool. And now you tell us we could have it in DX!!! So cruel.......
You were right Patrick, i-win clear does match my theme really well. It's a little dark, but is the closest I have found. Thanks.
