eh, well look on the xpthemes site...at the partners, all the SD products and Froggie''s old posts in the forums (not a high traffic area). http://www.xpthemes.com/ [Message Edited]
MGiff: xpthemes I believe is a sort of WC mirror site owned by Stardock which is why your submissions to WC would show up there. (I think FrogBoy may have once described it as a "back door" to WC...it sounded right when I read it but now I not sure I know what the heck he meant by that. ) The name confuses people since they think of Themexp.org. (Themexp.org claims it doesn't have any business relationship wi

Holy smokes! What a Mod Squad! (cough) Congrats to you both!
I have Firefox set with the default skin and WB skins it. It won't be quite the same as with IE, the toolbar icons won't change for example if the WB skin has tool bar icons (that works only on IE), but FF will be skinned. I don't use any other FF skins, just the default, but if you do perhaps that's why you're seeing something different? <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/sb.gif" border=0 ALI
Congrats Fuzzy! (Or condolences?)

Hey, that sounds pretty cool. Bring it on!

Good thing I checked the messageboard so you wouldn't think it was just you. I just got finished posting a comment for that skin. I just downloaded that skin and it's 984KB. I hadn't been on the site before today and didn't see the skin before the update was posted. So it can't be a cache issue. Same results in two different browsers so I think it's safe to say the streamlined version for some reason is not the skin available for download. The original version is still the version one
Welcome back, IR!
Well there was some talk of having such feedback, assistance for works in progress in the skinning messageboard. I think that would be one place people currently could use. There may also be some plans for such a place in Froggy's thread about WC and messageboard changes. My recollection is fuzzy so sorry if I'm incorrect on that point. Additionally there's a skinning related forum which I think a number of people here started and frequent. It's sometimes mentioned in the news section
Yeah, to the orginal poster (if he's still around) I'd say make and upload what you like...if it's a good skin, it's a good skin. And no matter what you do some folks will like it and use it and others won't. So I wouldn't worry about popularity or trying to cater to others' tastes. And minimal skins have their own appeal and following so don't feel you have to make it mac-like just to get people to look at it or use it. But if you do want to play with the mac look that's ok too. Up
You should take a look in the Skinning Discussion message board here. There are threads with links to tutorials, etc.
OK. RE: "Lonhome" (lol).... First, "Longhorn" is Microsoft''s internal code name for the OS in its development stage, just as "Whistler" was the internal code name for what was eventually released as "Windows XP." (Or "Chicago" was the code name for what became Windows 95.) Second, if Paul Thurrott''s account is accurate "Longhorn" has nothing to do with Texas: the name comes from a bar in a ski area in British Columbia (not part of the USA). So blame Canada. <img src="http:
Go back to GRC.com Shield's Up and run the test for common ports. http://grc.com/default.htm Port 5000 (UnPnP) I believe is not included in the service portscan which covers the first 1056 ports. Port 5000 is the port Norton says you're getting scanned on so that would be the one in particular you'd want to check. As long as the port is not open I wouldn't waste time worring about it. If you applied Gibson's Unplug n Pray app that would disable the service and close the port within th
Not sure if this helps, but did you use the windows installer and have a shortcut installed for Mozilla FF in the start menu? If so it should also have there a Profile Manager shortcut that you can use. If you don't have all that...well then best to go to the FF support forum at mozillazine unless you get some other assistance here. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/sb.gif" border=0 ALIGN="ab
Great minds, Gary....
By the way, perhaps the vast majority of port scans seen on he internet today are either automated scans or the result of infected PCs scanning through the internet looking for vulnerable machines to infect. That is, the idea that there is an actual hacker directing each portscan trying to specifically target you is probably almost never the case. As long as you have a firewall that is blocking such scans people are usually advised not to be concerned. Some people go further and tell pe
Are you using Norton's firewall? It tends to ID portscans by the trojan known to use the port being scanned. Not too helpful really and sometimes scares newbies into thinking their firewall actually detected a trojan. As long as your firewall is doing its job (and presumably it is since it's giving you alerts) and blocks unsolicited communications from the net, I wouldn't concern myself with it. Too many port scans out there to worry about firewall alerts and logs unless you're a researcher loo

I somewhat doubt that the antispyware apps would add this program to their detection (although anything is possible) since as proposed it is not the classic adware/spyware and has an real opt in: people have to actively choose to download and use the app. As long as there is full disclosure about what it does and the info it collects and how it is used, I don't see that there's a reason for the antispyware folks to target it. And since people would have to voluntarily download the prog

Vitual Plastic has some detailed info about it: http://www.virtualplastic.net/html/logo_scr.html Many people just use third party apps to accomplish this on 2K and XP. Probably the safest way, since none of the MS files are changed, is Stardock's bootscreen app that China linked to.
