Reply to help me find skins w/c have ORB for a start button in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

I have a few wb skins that use oversized start buttons (they are circular, not necessarily orb like): Captain America, Green Lantern, Daredevil, Blue Ice, etc. - also how about Mike Bryant's awesome "Arrow", "Ares", "Optix" and "Parsec" wb skins... - "Thallos" by KoL is another good one - and Alienware Xenomorph by Stardock Design is another excellent example Let me know if this helped. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/wc/smiles/Smile.gif" border=0 align=

Reply to why does it converts to windows classic theme? in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

I have this happen to me also on my winxp machine and I have several dozen different themes downloaded & installed from other wc authors along with my own. Windowblinds works properly for the most part as I can go through my list of wb skins and apply any showing up in my list, however there are those rare instances when I download a skin from the site and attempt to apply it after downloading it and it appears to go through the process of applying the skin but when it's done I end up in classi

Reply to Taskbar icons oversized in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

Here's a dumb question... Does anyone know why the two are related? - forgive my ignorance is if this is an easy question, I'm still a bit of noob when it comes to using skinstudio, why would titlebar height be related to taskbar quicklaunch & system tray icon size? I just don't see the connection. I know that they are somehow related as we shown the cause/effect above but I'm just curious as to why, not really a complaint just a question. While we're at (I don't mean

As per Chris Null's article, he spoke with the "good folks at Seagate" about harddrive wear & tear and ... apparently starting and stopping is not a huge problem with harddrives any more, and they can be safely shut off and on in order to save power. According to Seagate, you can expect a drive to last for three to five years of running time before dying, though obviously many drives last longer. What's the big factor that causes drives to die early? Heat, s

my machines are powered on only when I use them, when they're not in use they're turned off. Saves money on my electricity bill, reduces pollution, reduces wear & tear on machines. Turning computers on/off doesn't hurt them from what I know - been in this "business" for almost 20 years. I have however seen power supplies that have failed on units that are left on all the time, my brother-in-law used to leave his desktop pc on all the time until his power supply failed and started to smo
