Kitty if you want someone to say it, I'll say it, don't go away forever, just take a break (we all need one, I took one myself a while ago), recharge your batteries, feel better about yourself and then come back when you want to, if you want to. We'll miss you till you come back, until then take care of yourself and work on making yourself happy again - in life happiness is all that's important.

Reply to ecoLogical WB preview in Sneak Previews WinCustomize Forums

I love the green on grey look, I've been messing with a personal wb for my own consumption with that color scheme. I like the glass infront of the titlebar buttons, it's a cool idea especially with the mouseover revealing the button from behind the glass - very unique, I like it alot! Back to the sks5 & 6 issue, I don't have sks5 anymore, anyone know if it's still available as a download somewhere, I'd love to install & use it again. I have 6 and I'm just not loving it as much, maybe

[quote]Rob, I am sorry you got in the middle of something that really had nothing to do with you. I did make a comment directed at you but in a typical online fashion, it was not heard the way it was meant. In the midst of insulting someone else I insulted you and I am sorry for that. I live by the rule that you need to choose your battles. It was thought out and not reactionary. I chose to make a stink in this case because alot of people were thinking it but were hesitant to speak out. So, I ap

[quote]I remember someone making a stink because a skinner used a highlight technique that another skinner used. A little extreme on the pickiness but in actuality, that highlight was intellectual property. A lawyer could make a case of it.

Forgive my ignorance, but what is the GUIO? Are you referring to the GUI Olympics? I did a search on google and came up with "growing up is optional" :LOL: FYI - On a more serious note... Public executions are not effective unless the effect you are trying to acheive is instilling fear in others. - That doesn't seem like fun to me. :NOTSURE:

a chocolate keyboard is cool but after a long day at the office, my fingers would be brown and my keyboard would be totally messed up & melted from use. One consolation is that a few of the function keys that I never use would be happily digested. :LOL:
