Frogboy, can you let me know the name of the WB skin used in that topmost screenshot of Windows Task Manager in this post? It's slick and so is the one linked to by JourneyMan Attila . What's the name of that skin? Here is the link- http://junk.vincentbrown.com/screenshots/firefox_ie-process.jpg These seem to me as really usable skins much like the default themes Windows comes with. Can we have a new category of slick and subtle WB skins? Or else, would you guys sugg

Well well well, So things aren't that calm. Peff, coming to your point , a story well written just proves how much money plays a role in our lives. So probably it would be saner on ourt part to let the discussion be on real terms than senti stuff. Probably you could have refrained from such comments in the first place; on second thought, its all fine, with your side of explanation, but then Peff, the ball shouldnot bounce that high atleast ! It might never hit gorund again. And I can surely pay

Well its a pity, that Peff missed the theme of message and started his shallow talk. My friend, you got to understand that there are countries where 5 dollars are enough pocket money for even college-going guys. I am a Computer Science Faculty at a local institute and am earning 3000 Indian Rupees which is about 60-65 dollars. And that while I am pursuing my final year at Graduation in Psychology. My parents earn enough to let me buy every thing that is justified. In a country where 45% peop

Well just moments ago I got a 'Server Busy' Message advicing me to subscribe to Wincustomize.Which brings to my mind that its not cheap to run a site with the size and traffic of Wincustomize, why dont the owners which I probably guess are the ObjectDesktop guys, sell the archives of skins on CDs to those who would pay willingly for it. I mean I'd have no problem with my work being sold if I am being credited and the work is still available free on the net for the million of users. That way poor

Who rules ? TGTSoft or WindowBlinds ? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Hi Everybody, I must admit Wincustomize is the best site around with its cool design and sheer treasure of quality skins,wallpapers etc. Kudos to all the contributors! Friends, I've been pondering over for sometime whether to keep WindowBlinds or TGTSoft's ThemeXP on my computer. I tell you the Visual Styles available from ThemeXP.org look better and native on XP than WB Skins. Though WB is great on 9x/2000, on XP, I personally think ThemeXP looks smoother on XP. themes l

Reply to A new golden age for skinning? in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

I believe its high time we stopped flaming Microsoft for what is quite natural in a competetive market. One should not forget that had it not been for Gates, none of the million of users would be skinning their dekstops. Its a shame that while Microsoft brought PC into the common man's living room, so called geeks cried for Open Source. Everything comes with a price tag. Agreed, MS asks us to pay for everything that has an MS logo, but then how many of us use licensed software of WindowsXP, Offi
