@Neilo and DC i agree with you but if you take a close look at the modern social network the big one especially you will see that people use their smart phones to check their stuff... This is the tricky part once you surrendered your password or even if you did not they can trace you they will have your cell phone number anyway and the rest is just waiting and observing. DC thats not correct... if they have your profil name, or if they do find your profil they will soon or late

i know ... The idea for this is a windowblinds that sends a reference to sommer in every aspect... What i had in mind : blue green lightbrown color as main colors with decals attached to it like a little sun umbrella a straw close to the windowframe buttons a lifebelt hanging on a chair for the explorerinfopane.Just to give you a basic idea the startmenu should be close to a refreshing drink and what would summer be without music ...windowframes: from right to left down

Reply to Change color - how? in OS Customization WinCustomize Forums

it would be helpfull if you would be a bit more specific, at least i dont get smart off that last post of yours, dont get me wrong we are willing to help you but you need to be more specific... ( edit the buttons/and save them as png file ) after that insert them for minimize /maximize/ close/ restore then hit save and then apply... If you did that correctly windowblinds "should" apply the skin and then display your buttons in the

[quote who="Thoumsin" reply="28" id="3098015"]Quoting Frogboy, reply 2But yea, it's quite a few steps. You have to move your mouse to the bottom right, which pops up the charms bar, then pick settings and then shut down.

No PSU lives forever, and the cheap, light ones tend to go out with a bang rather than a whimper.

the monk is right... you should do more research and get familiar with the components.. But back to the PSU - 750 - 850 will do just fine if its an ( 80+ PSU ) even if its a sharkoon brand you will have enough puffer to build in a second graphics card in sli or crossfire ( IF YOUR NOT HAVING A 590GTX ) but since i think the 590 isnt for disscussion for your pc you would even do fine with a good 600Watt PSU that also has 80+ I posted my neighbours PC a page

i guess you already answered yourself the question... if windowblinds didnt work completely how should Mycolors ? also how in the holy did you install windows8? there is only the dev preview atm and thats uninstallable... or at least a pain in the butt to really kill it from your disk completely the consumer preview isnt even out yet.. My tip would have been updating redist packages and netframework--- BUT since there is no version for windows 8
