Reply to Skin Applications - where do we go from here? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

A lot of people like it when their user interface has an universal look. Although fun, suites like those of the Skindicate, take a lot of effort to make. End users still have to worry about what skin is supported by what skinnable app. Convergence is a good thing for them, because it makes all those different systems easier to manage. Still we end up with lots of identical graphics not being shared by such apps. Skinnable apps are here because there was no such thing like system wide skinning fo

paxx: I remember some Dutch initialive for a 3D add-on to Windows, much like Win3D but based upon Open/GL. Can't remember its name. Some company that makes professional audio studio equipment is financing the project, just because they love to do it.

At least we now know that MS is not against a product that turns Window boxes in a Mac.

Reply to No more personal attacks in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Just when I was planning a good one. Well, OK. How about this one: I have reserved a channel on IRC for anyone that wants to make a personal attack. So, if anyone is interested join #PersonalAttack on irc.stardock.com. There is one condition, though. Nobody is allowed to join you in that channel.

Read it in 6 parts. Took a break for 15 minutes each time. Much like when I read Lord of the Rings. The story was exactly the same as what I have read on the net and what I have seen. No missing parts. Was good to read it all in one coherent piece.

Are you sure you are talking about the games? You probably know best, but I thought you were using VC and used a games library you developed called "Pear".

Hi davad70. You mean your Traffic skin? It is there. It is rated by 3 people and has an average of 6. Maybe you have to change the "Show skins with this rating or higher" in your account to set it to a lower value.

I definitely need some English lessons. Sorry about all the errors.

Hehehe, Crea. Those are interesting remarks. The fact that everybody arround you does the same has nothing to do with it. But you know all that of course. It is nice to see someone not defending his own point of view. Yes, it is not ethical. You are right about that. I am glad we closed that discussion.

I use both commercial software and freeware. If I can't pay for let's say PS then I don't use it. Instead I was trying several freeware programs. I can't get used to the Gimp (freeware/open source). Once I found PSP I found it good enough to register it. I don't think that by definition commercial software is better than freeware. These days we also have commercial freeware like WinAmp. WinAmp is a good product. There is also some very good non-commercial freeware like the soft

At work (I am a games programmer) we use C++. This is because C++ has a lot of support. Games engines are in C++. APIs are often in standard C.

All SD games are programmed in C++.

I know that SD is using several languages. Most developers use VC. Others use Delphi. The VB based programs are being ported to VC.

/me loves loves flowers, but hates to give them water. Anyway, I can always use the water to clean up this thread.

The thread at DA was not deleted. It is still there. It has been closed. If a thread is deleted here, then it could be deleted by any admin, not just Brad. As far as I can see Paxx has enough of it. In fact so do I. We have dealt with it. Don't you start getting sick in this thread.

Jark probably made a good decision over at DA to stop the nazi thread as soon as possible.

I agree Tandis, but we all know where we stand now. That is why I said it served its purpose. There is no point in going any further.

You have my vote. It served its purpose.
