I think education is the key here, Brad. The internet is generally seen as a big "free for all", and because people tend to do these things from the safety of their own houses, they don't feel they are doing wrong, or they don't think anyone will notice, or they don't think that artists are protective of their work. I think it will take a high profile case against an individual to ram it home. If people see an "ordinary guy" get hammered for all he is worth, it may just start to sink in.

Hmmm.... I use all the same stuff as Treetog. So how come he's so much better than me???!!! DAMN! He must have newer versions of the software. lol. (Well, I can dream can't I?) Seriously though, I am usually inspired by other peoples work. I set out to try and make something similar, and at some point it just goes off at a tangent, and I just go with it. It never ends up looking like the piece I was inspired by, but I occasionally get good results. With regard to finis

You shouldn't have to convert .bmp's or png's, DesktopX can use both formats. However, if I remember rightly, it won't display .gif,s. If you give a more detailed explanation of what you are trying to achieve, it will be easier to help you:)

I'm too busy to comment on the board, T-Man has got me scrubbing the floors and polishing all the skins. I never thought being a Wizop would be so hard! Have to go, I have to paint the walls in the new wallpaper section and make coffee for the other admins!

Reply to I'm soooooooo confused :| in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

You could check a couple of things: First, in the objects properties, in the "Relation" section, where it says POP-UP,at the bottom, make sure it says "Menu (closed on any action)". Secondly, in the section called "Summary", make sure your object has an individual "Object ID". If you are still having trouble, try downloading a theme that has drop down menus, and check the settings in their properties. ( two of my themes have drop down menus, "Notes" and "Boxed") Hope this helps.

Reply to Desktopx... hi I am trying out desktopx and i really like it, i was thinking about making skins in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

NoMercy: There is a great tutorial for starting out on DesktopX over at Stardock. Here is the link: https://www.stardock.com/products/desktopx/tutorial/default.htm Read it through and then experiment with some pre-existing themes, and before long you will be building your own from the ground up! Theming for DX is great fun, so get stuck in. If you need any help, you can always e-mail me at [email protected] <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/boxxi.gif" border=0 ALIG

Photoshop Tennis in WinCustomize News JoeUser Forums

To start a match, one player "serves" a Photoshop image to the other. The opponent takes the image, adds a new element to create a whole new picture and returns it to the serving player. For example, the houses of parliament could be sent to the USA, given a new paint job, and then be sent back for more tweaking. The rally carries on as ea

Reply to a plea to the community and everyone in it in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Sorry to hear of your mother's accident Mike, I hope she regains her old self very soon. I personally do not drink at all, partly because of some of the reasons you mention above, but mainly because I don't need to drink to have a good time. Also I have two small children, and I could never endanger them for the sake of a drink, how would I live with myself if I hurt them? And this is something that everyone should consider.....You have to live with the consequences of your actions, and bel

Reply to where are all the desktopX skins??? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Peepod: I agree with c242. I used to be a dedicated Litestepper, but now I run Desktop X exclusively. It has never crashed once, and once you discover the vast array of brilliant themes, and how easy it is to change them and get your computer working just how YOU want it to, you won't want to change it back, believe me. Just give it a chance, wait until you have tried a few themes and different looks, and I'm certain you will be back for more. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smil

Reply to can i get some help please in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Muletman: I don't know how much you know about desktop customization, but just to avoid confusion, if you are going to use skins and themes you will need the programs that they are made for, i.e., IconPackager, DesktopX, Window Blinds etc. You can get shareware versions of most of these if you haven't already got them. Have Fun!!

Reply to ObJect Desktop on LiteStep/DarkStep shell??? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

This happened to me too, but it only happened when I changed to Windows ME. Before that I had never had any problem with Litestep at all. The strange thing is, it fixed itself when I loaded one of Jafo's themes and the problem never arose again. So, maybe you should get one of his themes and see if it fixes it for you too!

Yeah, here it is.. https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.asp?searchtext=bob+xp&library=3&sort=updatedate&order=Descending&Themes=on&image1.x=19&image1.y=17 You will need the latest version of DX to run it, and it must be the registered version too, I believe.
