Font problem in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

I'm trying to iron out the bugs in the Windowblind I'm creating, and I'm just unable to figure out what to do about this. It has to do with the fonts in my popup menus. The font colors have a horribly shadow type of thing. I've tried adjusting them every way I can think of and this still keeps happening. I've tried disabling 3d effects, I've tried changing font types and font colors, it still ends up looking like this: [IMG]http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee90/k4r

DesktopX clock widgets don't stay put in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

I've been having this issue for a while, and have finally decided to ask the question, having exhausted anything I can think of as to why this is happening. Every clock widget that I load on my desktop moves around on its own while I have any other application open (for instance, web browser). When I click it with my cursor to drag it back to the place I had put it, it behaves as if it were in the place I put it in the first place, which means dragging it moves it some place off

My New Years resolution is to learn how to make a DesktopX analog clock (in other words, learn how to create DesktopX skins), and to skin more, SKIN MORE, SKIN MORE!!! (It's easier/quicker to start a new habit than it is to stop an old one.)

And here I thought this was going to be another thread griping about Impulse! Seriously, though, morbid obesity is no laughing matter. It's a crippling health issue, and the man in that picture (Manuel Uribe) has lost 500 lbs as of last October solely on a low carbdiet (without surgery). He also got married last October, and I'm terribly happy for him. There is a lot of heartache wrapped up in obesity, and it's not only the obese person who suffers th

Well that just goes to show that all things are relative. When I think abandonware, I was thinking (in particular) of Dynamix, developers of The Adventures of Willie Beamish (ancient game for an even more ancient computer that I owned back in a former lifetime, and my children were little kids rather than young adults). Dynamix no longer exists, hence nobody to get permission from. Then again, I don't have time to play computer games anyway, because I'

Why they not mention explicitely in their purchase page that the user will have to install Impulse to get the software? It is just a bad marketing trick! At least... for me [/quote] Maybe they put Deskscape into Impulse to prevent pirating of software and to ensure no viruses/malware gets attached to their product.

I think it's ludicrous to use the phrase "force your customers." Customers, by their very nature, hold the power on whether they choose to purchase/use/install software or not. You state that you are a registered user of Deskscape. That means you already have the program on your computer--you got what you paid for. You can choose to get complimentary updates to the product you bought, but in order to do that, you need Impulse. The answer seems simple

I hear what you're saying, Jymmy. What I've done is to take fairly neutral skins and "accessorize" them with wallpaper, DesktopX widgets, and sometimes making a copy of the Windowblind and embelishing what is there. Sometimes I go for a gothic feel, but other times I want something more mainstream and elegant. The Valentine's Day skins are good for that, and I agree with Teddybearcholla, that Jazzymjr's skins are very feminine, although my tastes run more in the brighter col
