Well T-Man, there is a good point about forced comments, particularly poor ratings. If someone doesn't like a wall or skin and wants to rate it poorly, surely it's reasonable for the author to have some idea why. OTH, forced comments doesn't stop someone from rating a skin as 1 and commenting "it sucks", does it? Aside - I cannot figure out how y'all get the coloured print. Is there an icon for p

Reply to Cannot get WB to skin all windows in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Old news - Display properties is purposefully set not to skin as a protection against bad skins. There is a workaround described in the newsgroups several (like 1000 times). Apparently Stardock is going to make skinning DP an option in the future but I don't think it's much of a problem myself. <img src="http://images.s

Reply to Windows customization on the rise... in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

I think we hit a run of Xp styles which is fading (hopefully). First the walls, then XP compatible WB (good) and XP styled OB. The walls got boring fast. The XP imitating OB are only a bit better than standard XP - imitations. But I think people are starting to look beyond the XP look to what XP will allow. Personally, I see OB as the harbinger but that may be just because I don't use Desktop XP. <img src

Reply to Laptops in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I'm posting from home so I'm working from memory. I run a Verity laptop, 333 Mhz. I've run Win 98SE, NT and now XP Pro on the machine without any real problems.

Reply to How to?? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Well, let's give it a go then. First, I assume you have WindowBlinds running on your machine. If not, you can't install it, anymore than you could read a Word document without having word on your machine. Ok, go to wherever the file is downloaded. You should be able to install it simply by double clicking the file. Or open Display Properties and go to the appearance tab. The file you want should be listed there. Click and apply. Good luck <A HREF="https://www.wincu

Reply to RANT: Spam is out of control in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

My first task of the day is to scan the spam & delete. Only then do I actually begin to read stuff. The worst of it goes to my work account! The postmaster can only suggest we request to be taken off the list. AFAIK, that only confirms a working address. I agree with the frog, somethings got to be done but . . . <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/sb.gif" border=0 ALIGN="absmiddle" ALT=
