I DL the one someone else posted for the background file, cleaned up the stray 255, 244 244 white parts of the image, shrank it and edited it till the image is maybe 2.5 inches WxH and my own tweaks. Then I put it behind Shadow 3 rain skin. Looks very nice. Only thing I may do is re edit the day number colors so blue is darker and red richer. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/sb.gif" border=0

Hey c242, how hard would it be to get a variation of that symetric skin where the second item instead of showing ip/computer it shows network trafic? I tried just editing one and changing it to net traffic but it just tried to overlay it on the top box. Doreen, well I like the Blue(sans the logo of course hehe) otherwise its just tooo much orange/yellow for me using Mormegils variation, hehe. As for which parts I use, part of the prob is Mormegil did his own variation on the sk

humm willing to do if can advise how it should be written hehe Found my Imhost.sam file but it has nothing in it to cut paste edit so flying blind. I know I want it to take skins.wincustomize.com and equate it to IP addy 66.250.32.95. Anyway will keep net searching to see if can find easy guide for how it should read and check back here too.

okay will try to restate things so maybe a tad clearer. a) If I go to wincustomize site and don't log in then the redirect for preview images is skins.stardock.com which works and I see pictures. b) If I log in, then the redirect is for skins.wincustomize.com which do not work and fail to show the pic's. c) SDC logs in just fine as does WC Browser however WCB also gets its images from "Skin.wincustomize.com" Pinging skin.stardock I get successfull test (this i

Am using newest version of WB browser and hnestly not sure its a cookie thing at all because if I do a Tracert skins.wincustomize.com it succeeds to the 15th hop then cant seem to find the next server. Maybe something tween my ISP and Atlanta suffered from the storm? Anyway below is a copy of tracert for skins.wincustomize.com I get sans the first 10 hops so you can see what I meant by it hangs: Tracing route to 63.111.11.232 over a maximum of 30 hops 11 375 ms 631 ms 45

alright a tad more info: If Im not logged in (pics show) it gets the previews from "skins.stardock.com" and displays em fine and pings okay if do ping skins.stardock.com from cmd If I log in (pic's dont show) then it tried to get previews from "skins.wincustomize.com" which fails. I tried to ping skins.wincustomize.com and all attempts fail/timeout. As I would assume the WC browser ALSO gets its preview images from wincustomize that at least explains why no images in it as well

Arrg, okay I even tried the killcookies deal on this site. Whats weird is if I log out then click on say CursorXP group I see all the preview images but "BAMM" as soon as I log in no previews just boxes with red x's. As far as I can tell the last time I deleted every wc cookie both manually and by using the link.

well I deleted cookies and my temp inet files still no pic's display. I tried to R-click and save as one of the image links and get message cant connect to server. Images fail to display either via IE or if I use the WinCustom Browser.

I definitly prefeer to use Fauxstoon skin with the toonxp dx items as it looks better. Why do I use it at all, mainly because I like it...no kids here besides me. Only person who's seen my desktop said "that looks cool".
