Another Hollywood myth sunk in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Quicksand is one of those things I always wondered about but never remembered to look up... Exactly what is it? What makes it different from other sand or mud? Why don't we have it here in East TN? Does it really behave as portrayed in the cartoons & movies? Well, this news item plopped some information right in my lap & I thought some of you might find it interesting too. As for me, I'll look into it further-- it's more interesting

t's made of the hardest polycarbonate. Polycarb eyeglass lenses are tough in terms of impact, but they scratch easily & get pitted if cleaned with ammonia-containing cleaners like Windex. It's possible that there are better polymers now, I guess... <img src="http://images.stardock.com/wc/smiles/Tongu

#762 Cynder-Elluh It's hard to imagine that some of them were woodcuts-- like this one http://www.mcescher.com/Gallery/recogn-bmp/LW448.jpg I wondered what he oould have done with a computer, but maybe it's best that he didn't have access-- he might not have taken the time to develop other media. There's only so much time... All in all, it's a good thing I'm not God (she says as if it were an option) a **real

Hmmm, the title led me to believe this thread would be about eating mac-n-cheese while mooning the neighborhood through the lving room window-- not an easy feat, I imagine. As for SS, here's another way to think about it: The person posting should envision his daughter/her son as the person in the picture. How would you feel if you clicked the link & saw your child in that image? Would other viewers be looking or leering. Please get the g

Reply to OD Pause Button in Docks WinCustomize Forums

think that's by design: detatched = not-autohiding or conversely: autohiding = docked-to-edge That logic led to my question-suggestion re. a Pause button. I tried Lantec's approach & clicked the Desktop, which worked, so the design must allow this option instead of adhering strictly to the defin

OD Pause Button in Docks WinCustomize Forums

Is there an OD docklet for tabbed docks that allows the user to 'pause' the dock with drawer open for a while? I envision a toggle that resumes autohide when clicked again. Alot of times, I want to use the shortcuts on a particular tab for a while without dealing with autohide. An alternative would be some way to have extra non-tabbed docks that could be turned on when wanted & off when not in use, but I don't know of any way to do it.<br/

Reply to Weird things going on... in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Usually a wall-not always. The exceptions are dark images. I like alot of them, but somehow I can't work well when I have them installed, even when using a lighter WB*. So I'm pretty happy when a dark wall I like is made into a boot. I do wish the color limitation was over. Maybe in Vista? *Weird I know-can't explain it.

getting ready to start the icons on this skin these are going to be tougher than the rest but there in there so i'll do them! BTW Nicked, you don't have to submit an IconPackage with a WindowBlind. Most people start with one type of item-- a wallpaper, a WB, a Rainlander... You're absolutely welcome
