Reply to ObjectDock Beta coming in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Requests so far ( or a guiding how-to if they are already possible ) picking what side the taskbar is on, and which side it adds new icons to, picking the screen position, whether it zooms up or down ( in case you were to choose for it to be on the top of your screen area ) Great work so far, though, it is perfectly usable as-is. btw, whats with the IRC screenshot? I was just lookin to see if I could change the position setting internally <img sr

Runs well so far on Win2k, sp2, with Talisman as shell. I'm in the process of looking it over. When I have downpat and am done making it match, I'll post a shot of mine later. Thanks again.

bah, why not buy off people will a low number. I was offered cash for a low ICQ number once, and a friend was offered a silly amount for his hotmail account (4 digits). Give me a large enough sum and I'll give you the opportunity to see how little a low number means ...

Unless they are vegetarian, odds are they have had something that tastes like it, since everything does. If they are vegetarian, they are evil, so you should really be running away from them anyway. *duck*

Reply to Dark/Black Background + White Text in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Thanks. that is a theme for Talisman that I put together, haven't uploaded it anywhere yet becuase it is based on a beta verison of Talisman. You can set almost all the colors for Windows, though, even most application backgrounds. My programming IDE, etc., are all set to a grey/grey to reduce the contrast. If you want to go the windowblinds route Dangeruss ( https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.asp?searchtext=DangeRuss&sort=updatedate&order=Descending&library=1 )has a couple of real

Reply to Dark/Black Background + White Text in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I'm not sure, but I will advise you not to go with white on black. I have the same problem, and I have found that dark grey on light grey or vice versa is much better. Go to ArsTechnica: ( http://www.arstechnica.com/ ) and take a look at the color scheme. My eyes can't handle that for more than 5 or 10 minutes, and it takes just as long to get over it. I think the problem people have is not so much the color, but the contrast. Take a look at my screenshot, that is about as

Reply to Problem with Norton Firewall and Wincustomize anyone? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Jammeister: No, the virus was *on* your computer, it just wasn't executed. Firewalls have nothing to do with an antivirus. Norton's anitvirus is a completely separate app. It's very good, but their firewall is more annoying than necessary, and force you to be less secure if you don't want to be warned to death. The free version of Zone Alarm is easily good enough. A hardware router fills in the gaps that any software firewall can't. The combination of the two is about all you would

Reply to WindowBlinds 4 features in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

There's always a third choice, i.e. loading the functionality in the form of modules. They could be all included in the original install, and people could select the ones they want in the preferences. If they don't load, they don't waste resources, but they are there when you want them. Isn't the throbber in the Explorer file manager the same as the throbber in IE? If so, that wouldn't be a bad thing to tack on.

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

A couple of quick questions. What is an author logo? Wht is the preferred method of uploading multiple wallpaper resolutions? On the one hand a single zip is convienent, but it also forces users to waste download and costs WC extra transfer to send stuff people aren't gonna use. I have a piece I just finished and think I am gonna go ahead and upload. Lemme know what the best way to to it would be. The zip for the big three resolutions would be huge.
