Reply to SendMessage and Widget.OnTop in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

As far as I know there is no way to set z-order through script except to bring it to the front (Object.Ontop, Widget.Ontop). Widget.Ontop, iirc, is not permanent so it will lose focus (or move down in the z-order) once you click on anything else. Not really sure what you mean by send message. I'd recommend W3Schools for vbscript references Here's some other helpful links:<br/

Looks good, everyone! I'm working on another theme, (may post pics soon). It involves ALOT of backend coding and won't be done anytime soon.

[quote]I think FREE is the operative word here, if it's not free, then in the context of Wincustomize, I dont believe it's a community suite. [/quote] Calling something a "community" anything is about recognizing a significant community effort, is it not? How/why would money prevent that recognition?

Just tryin to understand where things stand.....so, to those who are not in agreement with the definition given by KarmaGirl the prefered guidlines are: A community skin must be: -Completely Free -Announced prior to release in an open call -Consist of how many people?

[quote]The way I see it, only masters SHOULD be allowed to sell/promote skins on this site. If it's for the betterment of the community, then wouldn't a majority of the members understand? [/quote] That would be my personal preference and sentiment on the issue, as well. So if those were the rules (i.e. only Masters can do it) I don't think there would be a wide-spread problem of exploitation, seeing as how most of the Masters wouldn't take advantage of the community. Then the

[quote]It is unlikely that someone like that would ever make Master[/quote] Ah, but that's only if the hypothetical rules would limit promoting off-site work to Masters; which might actually be a good guidline but might rub some people the wrong way.

vStyler, you mean if you were ever to stop uploading here (perish the thought!), you wouldn't drop us a line on what your latest and greatest is at the moment? I think it's great to have the Masters be a big part of the community as well as keeping their work on site, too (as with most of your work), but if for some reason a Master couldn't/didn't upload here anymore I don't think that should be the last we ever hear of them. So long as they are an active part of the community I think a

Reply to Self promoting premium skins in the forums. in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Hmm, it's a slippery slope. I guess I'd be okay with a long-standing community member with the rank of Master promoting their off-site work here. It might also be in how it is promoted; i.e. is it more of an ad than a friendly notice to the community?

[quote]are you ok? i hope you feel better tomorrow [/quote] I'm fine thanks but I still don't understand what you meant by the previously quoted statement. Back on topic: I agree with the definition KarmaGirl and Jafo gave. So long as a significant amount of members from the community are involved in the project it's a community project. One was an open call (the Halloween suite) and the two in question...no

I didn't get to see Z71's post before it was altered; are we talking about work that is not uploaded to this site but is promoted here?

It's here! It's here! Thanks Zubaz and all of the Masters. This was an excellent read. My favorite Q&A was question 8. I loved all the answers for that one because I can relate to process of being frustrated, inspired, scatter-brained etc. Nice to hear there really isn't categorically a right way to go about your project; just do what works for you!
