Reply to New Year Resolutions... ??? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Try to get, a little less, on the computer. I do enjoy it so but sometimes it can be a little much. There are other things to do. I used to do needlework, read, sew etc. Those have went by the wayside. Oh, I did say "try" didn't I! <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/lol.gif" border=0 ALIGN="absmiddle"

I uploaded Christmas Time CurXP. On my system the busy and working dissapeared although it looked fine in the CurXP program preview. I mentioned this in the notes when I uploaded. Some of the comments mentioned that it looked fine and some commented that these two cursors didn't work right. I really did appreciate the comments. Still don't know how to fix it. OS may be the culprit. New at this but look forward to learning more. Hence the comment section. This site leans way over on "helpi

Reply to Downloading the name. in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Wallpapers are the base for my desktop.(I view all in uploaded order) Then I try to co-ordinate a WB, icons and cursors. I dwnld walls that I like and my taste is quite varied. I used "hero or idol" in a post once, naming the artist and wish I never had. I was conveying one thing and it was taken as another. This artist's work is one that I really relate to, but his is not the only one. I really appreciate the ART here, which includes walls and skinning. <img src="http://images.stardock.c

Reply to It snowed today. in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Saw snow here last in 1991. Havoc ensued driving, no ecceleration, just sliding. I guess it should never snow in the swamp! Lived in Nebraska for a while and loved the snow, even the slush. Icelandic ancestry. How did I end up in Louisiana????? "Ain't life interesting."

Reply to Help.... PLEEEEEZE!!!!!!! in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Koasti - I love it!!!!!!! To the FAQ page it went. Don't mean to be "hard nosed" but once they figure this out, it will help them figure out other programs. Then if there is a question or help needed the asking will make more sense. I seem to remember, years ago, having to read instructions and help and figured it all out. And I was new to computers also.

RE the thread: hey i cant put the theme on!!!!do u have... I think you all are so great to help these people out. There is a saying about "helping those who help themselves". Can't see anything wrong with that. People need to do a little research, especially pertaining to this very costly computer equipment. It's like "measure twice, cut once".

Reply to Am I wasting my time with a FAQ? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Since the site is so popular, I think it would be great for a newbie to have a FAQ page to go to and I would think most of them would appreciate it. (If they are serious) There are a lot of programs and skins here and it can look overwelming. As you said, the cooperation would need to be there to send the newbies to the FAQ page. I've learned a lot from these posts and also the Stardock newsgroups. I think you are doing a great service. Best of Luck with the endeavor.
