I'd love to pick your brains. There is so much I'd like to learn about skinning and how people have overcome their difficulties. For example...smx is one app I love...problem is the ini confuses the hell out of me. Tutorials and subscriber skins to teach and set examples, to me, would be a good idea.He wasn't supposed to be there...this wa

Try this...go to WWW Link ...download McAfee SiteAdviser. It's free and it sits on the bottom of your task bar. It has three colors...green means the site is safe...yellow means use caution and red means stay away! If I see it turn red I exit that site real quick, don't even bother surfing it. It works and is a good starting point. Software mentioned happens to be among the best there is. I have all but spyware doctor. Spyware Blaster I use instead becaus

On May something 2007 I'll be with WC one year. I've been skinning rainlendar about two maybe three months...I think...My latest, Windowblinds Collection, got two and a half stars. That's fine with me and MySecret told me that some of them had white around them. My mistake was not making the background transparent and I uploaded them as such. I spent my first vacation in three years, a total of nine days, working on them. At times I got so confused between so many that I forgot to do that. I pre

Reply to help with unistalling Vista in Windows Vista WinCustomize Forums

Removing vista is so easy. I have Partition Commander and I've used it extensively to set up XPSP2 on my machine. Use XP to reformat and do a clean install. It'll wipe the drive and you'll have XP without excess baggage. My three cents lol BTW...my first machine was homebuilt. 500mhz that I boosted to 550mhz with a small timing circuit I made. I ran three O/S's on that machine...Windows 95, 98SE and NT4.0...so I don't think it scares me or anyone else for that matter.

Gotta remember one thing...the bigger they are...the more noise they make when they hit the floor. Like Ma Bell...too big is not necessarily a good thing. If Bill was really smart...he'd embrace an ever increasing PC market and create an O/S that will do it all...without the DRM...the restrictions...and all that good stuff. Open source, though highly unlikely, seems a good way to go. Who knows...maybe there's a person out there that can take his O/S beyond what it is and make it much more user f

Judging from all that microsoft is doing to ram this down user's throats ( see the article at... WWW Link ) I'll stick with my XP pro till Vista is more fully established...with full support for apps I have.

Couldn't find post for testing the new upload page so I decided to post here. Gave it a good workout. Nearly twelve minutes to upload new rainy. This was expected due to it's size. I like the progress and the time for processing is way down, took less than thirty seconds. It works great. Thanx

Something really strange happened. I copied the ini to my skin folder, changed the bitmap names to match my images and boom!...three times rainlendar encountered a problem and had to close. There is no problem with droplet, that works fine so it isn't an issue with version of rainlendar. I decided to create another skin using the ini files. Then I'll know what's up...hopefully.

I like this! It will be interesting to see what a good skinners imagination can do with it. I need more experience before I can consider myself a halfway decent skinner. Perhaps a more user friendly SKS is just what the doctor ordered. Big to Stardock staff. Keep up the good work.

Was surfing on SkinBase a little while ago and ran across this article found by mickeblue. Kudos to him for bringing it to our attention. WWW Link ...The more Bill Gates continues going this route the more he stands to lose. History is replete with those who get so greedy they lose sight of what's really important. The very people they depend on for their billions...us!

Ray Bradberry for one and Gene Roddenberry, not for Star Trek but because he was a man of unique vision. There are others, like Isaac Asimov, Stephen Hawking just to mention a few. Sorry but I couldn't stop at just one. Too too many to mention.Oh...and lest I forget, an aunt on my dad's side who use to double for Mae West back in the day. I still to this day cannot remember her name.
