Reply to Are PC's Dying?....Of Course Not.. in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

id say there will be a hole in the market this year since many folks don’t see the need to upgrade hardware on desktop pc´s. The new gen consoles should have been better way better in terms of Hardware, but they stuffed them with things like the "Jaguar" processor that secretly runs under the codename "pussycat". Since I don’t want to go into detail you can go and view the performance of that processor in comparison to an current i5 or i7. The station is eq

Reply to Skinning in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Only can repeat what has been said already Just do what you like, skinning for others is much harder than making a skin for yourself , you will never be able to please everyone, My opinion is to take a glance at some off wincustomize skins or not even windowblind related skins for inspiration. There is so much that can be done while only little that wasn’t done before. Futuristic, oldschool, mechanical, hardsurface, tech

Reply to Black background, wallpapers does not show up in Fences WinCustomize Forums

Your welcome - keep in mind windows8 does not save the wallpaper in a seperate system folder unlike 7,if you set it as background and move the destination folder - windows8 will not know where it went. When you set a wall as background in W7, Windows makes a copy and stores it in a system folder under your profile. I think the location is C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Mi... something Windows8 isnt smart enough to do that but i

[quote who="RedneckDude" reply="29" id="3438885"] I use both Fences and WinFX, but really, how hard would it be to right click and hide/show your icons?

mhh hibernation - for me as little skinner its due to exams that have to be written - exams that will more or less influence the life of me and my family in the furture. There is simply no time to be very creative atm. And im a bit sad about it. But there is always time to customize a desktop :P But there is more to it a good example is the fact that iconpackager needs to be finally updated to fully work with windows8 so that i can use my live folders and my iconpackages ( it would

I can only agree with the comments on the latest posting vStyler But may i suggest one tiny little thing ? The PHASER looks very cool the (trigger,button,screw) on the button looks worn out/battered ( the one that has the atoms on the left and right ) However in comparision the wood looks a bit to new ( just a minimal thought to add some scratches or some dark spots on it) The lightning is simply great on it [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e] Good job
