This is Wincustomize. I fail to see how any comment from Brad on here would be anything *other* than Stardock-centered. If he had posted this at , say Neowin or DeviantArt or somewhere else, I'd see your point. But we're here, not there. A non-issue IMHO. Of course that didn't stop the TSF-advertisment on here.

Loving the propaganda. The name of the article is a bit misleading though. Should be called the State of Stardock Skinning in 2006. Chock full of biased information. I'm glad some things don't change. Always need something to read when i have my coffee There are legal ways to skin Windows without Windowblinds. While Rafael's way isn't exactly sanctioned by Redmond they aren't sending out Cease and Desists either. But The other legitimate way would be to use S

As far as Stardock is concerned, CursorXP 1.31 on Windows XP is as far as it's going to go. A Windows Vista version is in development. Brad. Does that mean I can't ask for a 'greyscale' option in CursorXP for XP? I'd like to greyscale cursors but the color slider never gives me what I want

CursorXP - A whole new interface. Get it away from "XP"'s dialog windows and make it your own. Theme Manager - Thumbnail views. So hard to remember what a theme looks like if they all look the same (especially the CursorXP section - however, if no thumb is available, obviously this idea will fall flat - maybe something similar to CursorXP's views) WindowBlidns - Great that you added a wallpaper section...however, I'd really change the "Advanced" button. Advanced

he dosen't say anything about CPU use. Windowblinds performs quite nicely thanks. As good/better than any patched themes I've tried ( mostly bricopacks ) using themes of similar ( well as close as msstyles can get to a base WB skin ) ability. I'll admit , that if I applied Mormegil's christmas theme , things switch to the .uxtheme's favour speed wise , but that's no ordinary theme

Reply to Designing a desktop for 'older' users? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Hi. My mother is 82 yet she doesn't shy away from technology, and has already owned a laptop and now a desktop. But she does feel 'overwhelmed' by some things, like manually getting her anti-virus to download the latest files or version (yes, it should be automated, but sometimes her AVG asks for manual intervention, and she frets about 'breaking' something). The point? It's this. First, of course, is that too much software still requires too much 'skill' to do simple

Frogboy: With all due respect , I declare bullshit on your 'elitism' point. What your proposed actions due is remove the drama queening. Which I agree with. But I've seen the elitism on here, and what you're doing isn't gonna do jack shit about that.

Reply to complain about stardock, get your account disabled. in Object Desktop WinCustomize Forums

Depends on how you complain. You didn't get a timely response to a support issue. Fine. But did you have to rant off about P2P issues? Are you tweleve? I'm not defending disabling your account , but you gotta take some if not most of the responsibility for your actions. Behave like a dick, don't be surprized at the response you get.

Blinds you'd like to see updated with more modern features in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

Hello I was reading the Heavy Equipment thread and I had a thought. How about having a single thread where you can request updates to some of the old school bllinds or ask permission if you have updates available? I know for myself I lack skills but I wouldn't mind to see an update to this awesome blind by SkinStudio. YellowTab https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.aspx?skinid=4796&libid=1
