Reply to Hannukah and Christmas - An explanation for my non-Jewish friends in Community WinCustomize Forums

Doc - THAT was some funny stuff. For the most part, everything you described there has been part of my past. My mother is first generation (and only child) of German immigrants (i.e., "peasants"). There are a few differences in my story from yours, mainly your people seem to be more successful than mine (even though they don't acknowledge it, because they cherish the right to be victims), and mine don't acknowledge they're victims because they're still trying to make the pri

Thank you for this, Seth. I've always wondered about the personal, cultural minutiae of Chanukah/Chanukkah/Chanukka/Channukah/Hanukah/Hannukah. I knew about the general accoutrements (menorrah, dreidel....Adam Sandler "Eight Crazy Nights" album [e digicons]X|[/e] ), but always wondered....what's it like to BE Jewish and experience it from within. As far as that bit about the onions and potatoes, I can tell you, that smell can be a familiar Christmas smell, t

Archbishop Desmond Tutu: "A person with Ubuntu is open and available to others, affirming of others, does not feel threatened that others are able and good, for he or she has a proper self-assurance that comes from knowing that he or she belongs in a greater whole and is diminished when others are humiliated or diminished, when others are tortured or oppressed."

Yeah...you would have to do that first, which is also useful so you can find the individual icon you want to apply to your dock.

O.K., so the fan on my powerpack has been making nasty noises lately, and I really can't afford to be without my means of making money (my computer). I didn't want to just wait until the thing ceased to function, because if it happened in the middle of a pay period and I was without access to funds, I would just be stuck until I got paid again, with no way to work (and make money). So, I took my computer into "Badboys Computers" which is our local computer repair shop. <br /

Yes, but you have to install each individual icon to each program on your dock, except the recycle bin and "My computer" - Just right click on the icon in the doct your want to change to bring up "dock entry properties" then click the "change images" button and navigate to the IP package you want to change to, find the icon in that particular package you want to install to the dock and pick it, then it sets, and your done!

Lessons I've learned from skinning the past two months: 1. There is no accounting for taste. 2. Skin for yourself. I have read through this entire thread, and I just don't get it. I work on my computer every day, at least 9 hours a day. Right now I have the Birthday Suite applied, and even as guady as that is, it doesn't distract me from my work, or maybe the distraction is a relief--I do medical transcription, typing hospital reports from dicta

Are you asking if you could change simply the task bar on your regular Vista theme? Because I think all you would have to do is make a copy of the one you're using in Skin Studio 6, and then change the task bar. (I have XP, so I don't know if you can copy the Aero that comes with Vista, but if not, then just download one of the Aero themes from here, and change the task bar).
