I gave this thing a thorough run through (i.e., I used all the features). It will install most things on the first theme I install (just not the Desktop X widgets, and as mentioned in an earlier post by someone, it doesn't allow Desktop X objects to be imported into a theme). But when I install a different theme after the first one, it doesn't change the Windowblind, it leaves the one from the first theme I installed in place.

I don't know if this would be all right or not, but I created a screensaver to go with the birthday suite. I've uploaded the file at MediaFire in a zip folder, if somebody wants to take a look at it, tell me whether you think it might be nice to include it in the suite, or if it's not up to the level of perfection these community projects are expected to be.

Look, perception is everything. Obama won, so anti-Obama ads are...JMO, kinda funny right now. I look at them, and I get that Nelson Muntz from The Simpsons "ha-ha" stuck in my head. Besides...after John McCain's speech gracious conceding the election, and Obama's moving acceptance speeches...even George Bush's well-wish speech, don't you think those of us who are part of the WC community can put on our "big people" hats, ignore the trivial annoyances of the el

I want to thank all of you so much for your help with this. I started out having grand ideas when I first decided I would like to try skinning, but I've walked away in disgusted so many times, thinking I'm too clueless and should just wait for someone with much more skills that mine to come up with something like I have in mind.

If you really want to understand why, then you need to try to understand it from both sides. I am guessing the two sides are "pro-choice" and "pro-life". Sadly, there is a third side which not many consider: God's side. Jer. 1:5-Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the wom

Murder is illegal, but people still kill other people and if caught, the courts decide whether it was acceptable. In the case of abortion, the courts have already decided, it's acceptable.
