Reply to Simple site - Worth it's wait (weight) in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

And another thing.... (it shouldn't really annoy me, but it does!).... People (including, unfortunately, newspapers and internet news sites which should know better) using the word "Lightening" when they mean "Lightning" to describe the meteorological phenomena. "Lightening" means to making less heavy and is nothing to do with sudden bolts of static electricity discharge in the atmosphere. I'm going to go and de-stress now...... :d

One that I hear quite often during my job as an Engineer: "Plug socket", referring to a mains outlet. What else could possibly fit into a socket but a plug? The redundant word in this case also adds no clue or detail as to what the intended use of the socket is... Just recalled another that really annoys me: "Pacific" when people mean "specific". The word "pacific" means "peaceful"....

Skinning IE7 with WB5 in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

Hi All, Please excuse me if this has been answered elsewhere (I've had a look in the obvious places!), but when I install a skin in WB5 it all works ok, except the tabs in IE7 (its RC1 downloaded from the Microsoft website). The rest of IE7 skins ok but it looks a bit odd with "default" tabs and is unreadable with dark skins and light fonts. Does anybody else have this problem or know of a solution? Many thanks WeezleRox
