Reply to Object Dock Or Rainmeter in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I'm not a skinner, but I use Rainmeter all the time and find it quite easy to customize skins to my liking. But I have not created my own. Alot of people use Rainmeter and ObjectDock or DX at the same time. As Dragonmage mentioned, you should take a look at the tutorials and cruise through the forum. Over at deviantArt, we have a Rainmeter Group where you can find skins, ideas from screenshots, addons, etc... http://rainmeter.deviantart.com/

Reply to Lantana Master Skin - WIP in Sneak Previews WinCustomize Forums

[quote]Ever notice that everyone always has an opinion about start buttons. I say it is fully up to the artist what he or she does for a start button.[/quote] That's why I asked with respect if there could be an optional button. Of course it's up to the artist, but by some of us asking, there's a chance that the artist will agree and then everyone is happy!

Very elegant looking skin, love the colors and shape of the start menu at the top. Is it possible to include a different start button, even the orb without the flag? I love all your skins but don't buy them (or other artists skins) because of the win flag/orb as a start button. I have an extremely strong aversion to Win or Mac start buttons but don't like to use Start Killer. As vStyler say's "you can't please everyone"...but you could sell more skins with that extra option. I

Reply to Easy way to change overall color scheme of a windowsblinds skin? in Beginners WinCustomize Forums

[quote]Here's a trick I discovered, since some of the more popular skinners here who do a remarkable job of creating skins are fans of minimalism, and I can't get enough color in my life -- if you create a texture in that's a solid color (or in your case, a metallic blue texture), and apply it....BAM! You colored a skin that was colorless! [/quote] Karen, that's a great tip, I haven't tried that before with the grey skins, thanks so much!

All sites seem to have slowed down except for dA, I've never gotten into the forums there, but there's alot of visiting going on between people's homepages and group pages. It's definitely different here now.

Reply to Modified Aero in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

I just tried it and the same thing happens to me. I tried the Windows Aero by Microsoft and the Modified Aero by Stardock. The orbs and task bar don't change for me.
