WindowBlinds skins pretty much everything. WebBlinds skins only IE. It's primary function would be to change the toolbars and throbber and a certain amount of pop-up stopping. Currently WebBlinds isn't particularly useful although I understand there may be some future work done on it. You do need the associated product to use the skin. That is, DX will be required to use a DX package. If there is a WindowBlinds skin, WB is necessary. The best way to go by far is to buy the whole OD

Aqua, I know it seems weird but my wife works for Canadian Blood Services and they explain it this way. If you were in need of blood or blood products, wouldn't you want to be sure that the product was as safe as possible? Particularly as you wouldn't be in good health in the first place.

There's always need for plasma and platelets as well. In Canada, you can donate once a week for these areas. Takes longer but do give if you can. Estimations are that only 3% of eligible donors actually give.

Dang, I didn't even notice it wasn't you that uploaded the WS. Of course, that could be because I'd already applied each of the parts anyway. Cool work.

Like hash says, Webblinds has what I know is available. If there are other throbber replacements out there, I'm just unaware of them.

The idea is good and it's available here but the selection doesn't interest me much. Neither does the pay-per-view spots.

You can install the Stardock WebBlinds application but it's a bit iffy. Works fine on my office machine and completely locks my home machine. Check out the library to see the different looks.

I admit to being rude - I just hang up. Tip off is the pause before they respond when you pick up. Anyone who has anything to say I want to hear will speak to me as soon as I say hello.

I might be a tad thick but this only looks vaguely similar to me. That is, they look like different bolts to me. The clouds behind don't look anything alike.

So I'm doing the magic pink correctly, it just doesn't work with Beatnik? No wonder I'm confused. lol I figure I'll start easy (although no one actually uses it) then tackle skin studio. Small steps.

I think this warrants a new thread (rather than piggy back on the bmp thread) I'm starting to play with my own skinning - Beatnik to make the learning curve easier with Fireworks. I have the canvas as small as possible and using magic pink (FF00FF) on the exposed curves with hard edge, no anti-aliasing. Dang thing still shows pink. Outside of this I'm reasonably happy. DWM advised me last night (thanks mate) but I seem to have missed something. (pouty face emoticon won't
