How do they do it? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I feel like such a n00b asking this question, but... what program do you use to create objects like the DesktopX Aquarium fishes? Bryce? Is there a tutorial someplace that you could direct me to? Thanks!

Reply to Brad's Skinning Blog: GUI Olympics rants, trademarks, videos, and what's in a skin... in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

To the GUI Olympics team: Don't give up. No matter what you do, a small minority of people are gonna get angry at you. May as well just do what you want without worrying about them. The GUI Olympics fosters creativity in skin making I'm actually seeing unique WB skins for a change! And the WinAmp section... wow, there's some great stuff in there. Icons too. Don't let a handful of idiots ruin such a good thing.

Reply to Lack of DX creativity ? in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Some people have made e-mail notification objects, but right now they only tell you whether or not you e-mail. Is it possible to make an object that scrolls the subject lines of e-mails too?

Reply to Nasty Worm going around in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

I noticed that it only hit my computer with a 60 second countdown when I logged onto a certain number with my ISP. When I logged onto my ISP with a different #, it worked properly. I've since downloaded the Windows Update and Norton Anti-Virus updates. Kind of strange.

Reply to Wincustomize.com needs moderation. Seriously. in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Maybe they could split the new additions into separate "New Wallpapers" and "New Skins" sections? Even still moderation would be nice. Maybe the admins could have a "Recommended" button for the walls they deem best (in other words, the walls that would have made it before the moderation got loosened), so you could just search for the recommended walls?

Reply to Wincustomize.com needs moderation. Seriously. in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

The other side of the Moderation argument: A few months ago (back when moderation was in full force) I posted a wall, and I was pleasantly surprised to see it make it onto the site, because I'm really not very good with graphics design and such. (Of course, now the wall is rated a 5... ). If I was considering making a wall now, I'm not sure that I would: It just wouldn't be as "neat" as know that my wall was

Advice Needed--laptop shopping in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Due to a fortunate mixup, I may soon be in the market for a new laptop computer. Do you have any recommendations? It has to be less than $1000, preferably $800. I was thinking of the Sony VAIO PCG-FR130, which I can get at the bestbuy website for $1150 - 250 rebates = $900. Is that a good computer, or are there any better ones I should get? Thanks!
