I like the idea that Madice suggested. I would make that the simple mode that unregestered users see. Have the advanced mode drop the catagoreies. Also add a giant blinking box that reads "GO HERE IF YOU ARE WONDERING HOW TO USE THIS!!!" or "YOU MUST HAVE XXX TO USE THESE SKINS, GO HERE TO GET XXX" . I would also make one of the catagories "ap skins" for things like Trilion (hint, hint) and Winamp. A real mes

I wonder if he strongly encourages everyone in his "group" to wear the same clothes by the same maker and drive the same cars that are the same color. Just in case they need to drive somewhere together.

"I strongly encourage everybody to leave all the settings at the default, or if somebody makes a strong case (strong does not mean "I like it") for a particular change, we all make it. That way we can move from machine to machine without going berserk or even feeling a little ill at ease." You will be assimilated.

Have you tried using differant skins? What OS are you using? Have you tried rebooting?

One way around this is to delete the files. Make sure that the Component Manager is closed. Delete dx11rc3.cab and dx11rc3.cab.cmi (your file names may differ depending on what version you downloaded). Restart the Component Manager and it will think that you never downloaded it in the first place. This is not the most elegant/proper/best way to do it, but I know it will work.

I am amazed at the reaction of the Russian goverment. They are crying about using NHL officials. Most of the Russian team plays in the NHL. Those players are extreamly successful. From what I saw the judges tried to be even handed. If anything they caused fits for the Americans since they weren't used to the differant rules. The faceoffs with line changes were troublesome in particular.

4 Wings were playing. Makes you wonder about the Rangers coach. With all the success of the crossover athletes I wonder when Nigera or some other cross country running powerhouse will start training some cross country skiers.

"And so we come to the basic premise of "007: Tomorrow Never Dies" - he who controls the media controls the world..." By ac4000 Tyrants have known this for a long time. Try giving 1984 by George Orwell a read. Also take a look at Animal Farm. One of the few books that actually changed my life. "All Animals Are Created Equal, But Some Are More Equal Than Others." Whenever you start to hear anything that sounds similar run, don't walk to get out of there.

Sounds similar to Desktop Architec. That was a nice piece of freeware. I haven't tried it on XP. I think that FX in Object Desktop is doing some of that. I don't think they are looking at tinting icons though. Sounds interesting.

I didn't realize one of the top officials was French (International Skating Union president Ottavio Cinquanta). It must have been a tough pill for him to swallow. In a way I feel bad for the Russians. They look like villians when I doubt they had anything to do with the judging.

What do you listen to when making a skin? I have found that when I listen to jazz or acustic guitar I am more precise in my graphics, but less creative then when I listen to something harder. Time to break out Joe Satriani.

Reply to My problem with TGTSoft in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Perhaps a name change to Windowblinds XP & '98 skins would be more appropriate then "WinXP Skins (Visual Styles)". https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.asp?library=23 The way it is now is somewhat misleading. Not nearly as misleading as TGTSoft claims though. "So, how about them Olympics?

When you save the theme using DesktopX it is a .dxtheme. This is just a .zip renamed. They use that extension so that you can just open it to have it load. I suggest that you go here before you upload it. https://www.wincustomize.com/guidelines.asp Here is where you can upload the theme. https://www.wincustomize.com/upload.asp
