Reply to Small problem with R.I.P. Skin in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

You can opt to add these problem programs in the exclusions list, under "Per Application". Try either completely excluding them from skinning, or just the titlebar so it kinda looks like the rest of your desktop. I don't have access to that particular skin, but if you have skinstudio, you can edit the text on the toolbar/menu item that has this black on black annoyance. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/wc/smiles/Smile.gif" border=0 ALIGN="absmidd

Reply to Some of my menu bars have disappeared in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

It is recommended to close all applications before applying a skin. It is also a MUST to reboot after installing WB5. You may try the "Troubleshooting" in the WBConfiguration utility, check the option "Enable if you have corrupted titlebar buttons and text backgrounds. Your graphics card must be able to support alpha-blending. Hope this is helpful.

Reply to Theme Error: LogonStudio unable to locate Theme.ini in Theme Manager WinCustomize Forums

Do you have LogonStudio installed? You can find it here Link Have you manually explored to find the theme.ini's in question? If so, you may need to go to the gallery and download these Logons seperately. I had problems with getting ThemeManager to download and install theming software, so I just got out my trusty browser and did it myself.

WB5-WindowFX in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

When the WB5 beta was first released, there was a nice little txt with it saying that there was a compatibility issue with WindowFX. Has this been resolved? Or did I miss the memo whilest playing with the new gadgets in WB5?

Reply to going to break my gfx card in half :-P in Video Cards WinCustomize Forums

Funny...I switched to nVidia GeForce 5500 from the ATI Radeon 9200 and saw significant speed increase and smoother graphics. I had switched cards to overcome (get this) a conflict with ZoneAlarm: on a clean install of XP SP2 and after updating @ WinUpdate, I installed my ZoneAlarm firewall and rebooted. At restart, I get nothing but a blank-black screen and an instant reboot. After a few emails to MS and ATI, I get the impression that a constant str

Reply to Pentium 4 or AMD 64? in PC Hardware WinCustomize Forums

Okay, so I am new in posting around here...but I agree with Himangshu, go AMD on an ASUS mobo. Nowadays, board makers are making the mobos so that you have to have a good fan going (plugged in the board) or they won't run...you just get a nice series of beeps. The only reason an AMD might cook through your motherboard is if you are crazy enough to OC the cpu to a point that it is no longer stable AND you forgot to put a fan on it. If you do go AMD,

Reply to WinCustomize Subscription Totals Won't Make The Goal: What Next? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I am new to skinning. I am an OD subscriber. I download at least one WB skin a day, and doing this is so that I can learn the techniques used by great skinners like Mike Bryant, Pixstudio, Skinplant and even the newer skinners (to my knowledge) like JJ adn studio28. If I did not have the ability to download these 4 to 5 star skins, what would I be learning? As it is, I don't know how to upload skins ( I have several Sysmetrix skins ported, but no k

I'm with lilstar...sounds more like the phlash has the VistaXP WBA and needs the WB 5 beta to get that nice glass substyle. But I could be wrong---call it "benefit of the doubt".

Reply to What is WinFS in WinFS WinCustomize Forums

The problem with the SP2 update is that you have to take the time to go back and re-tweak everything that you tweaked before to make it run like speedy Gonzalez. I have that there ugly SP2 update, after tweaking (you know the usual aesthetic and organizational setting, my system loads up in a mere 37.5 seconds, not including the time I take to input my password. If you have a legit copy of XP, I would think that you would want all of the bundle MS ca

Reply to should Microsoft be using our skins for future generations? in Microsoft WinCustomize Forums

Yes, MS should include more themes, but would that put all these great skinners out of "business" by making it more difficult to "wrap" windows? Would the concept cause software like Windowblinds to become obsolete, or would it further the development? Should MS use skins that are made by populace, no. That would take the fun out of it for all of us, who like to diddle with the look of Windows. But, MS should stick to what really counts, like Appre
