Reply to What Screencasts/Tutorials Would You Like to See? in Community WinCustomize Forums

I know you are probably looking more along the lines of showing how to use various parts of various programs. But being a newer member who has only been signed up here just under a year and who for the first 6 months of that didn't do much more than just sift through the site to see what I could find. I would think a really great screencast for the community, mainly as far as attracting and keeping new members, would be to have a screencast posted on the Wincustomize homepage. <b

I have PSP9 and Photoshop CS2. I was used to using PSP and started trying to skin Xion with that but there was a problem with the layer sets and such. Turned out to be a good thing though because it has forced me to spend more time learning Photoshop. If youre more accustomed to creating the graphics in PSP, then I would suggest saving them as png's and then importing them into Photoshop to put together the final .psd.

Reply to Object Dock background request in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

[quote]It's been pointed out over and over again that backgrounds have a sub catagory. For those who are interested in only docks they can remove anything but.[/quote] But it isn't always an issue of whether or not people only want one or the other. People may be interested in both but get bored of searching the gallery after the first 10 or 20 pages and then move onto another gallery.

The Layer Keyword reference chart on the link Xiandi posted is pretty well documented and easy to understand. Xion is a great thing to start with. :CONGRAT:

Reply to Need some Antivirus Techie advice in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

[quote]McAfee and Norton are garbage IMHO[/quote] Agreed. I bought Trend Micro when I bought my pc about 3 years ago. Had alot of problems and never liked it. After that went back to Norton and still had a mess. Switched to the free version of AVG for awhile and liked it so I got the paid version of AVG antivirus and firewall for a year. Never had a single problem in that time. More recently switched back to the free version of AVG and the free Comodo firewa

[quote]Not really, i suppose if they all have the same number of equivalent smilies and all the same aliases (:congrats:, ^_^, etc) it could work out so that the user sees only the set they've selected.[/quote] Ah true. I was just thinking of each user choosing which set they wanted to use themselves. Didn't think far enough ahead to think of it being an option of what you see on the forums not just what you use. ;)

[quote]I'm in favor of them all as well. andrew: could it be a user setting, let us choose which set we prefer by default and then the control would post appropriate image based on that selection?[/quote] [quote]That would be cool.[/quote] I had that same thought because they all look pretty good. But in the long run as you're reading through the forums, with everyone using different sets, wouldn't that be the same as mixing them all in together to begin with?

Now thats a presentable article about it that will make people want to read it. ;) Unfortunately I use the keyboard as little as possible just out of habit. So I dont think I'd get much use from it.
