I just checked out that site,hemanherecomes. I see no problems using public domain photos,it says you can use them for a commercial purposes. Giving them away or modifying and redistributing should be ok. ;)
[quote]DX themes change how your interface functions. I've used quite a few DX themes over time and my biggest problem, from a consumer's perspective, is that it was just too foreign. Suddenly, it felt as though I was using someone else's interface. Everything wasn't where I had them before, the start menu didn't have all my usual shortcuts.[/quote] That describes my experience as a new user very well. :LOL: Now that I've "discovered" RightClick I can carry my start menu with me,but I was da
I'm sorry I misunderstood your post. That is indeed a good point,Quitch. There are still a lot of people who don't even know about the "hidden" menu,though. My appologies if I was pointing out the obvious to you. ;)
[quote]Karma points? can I spend em? are they only useful for seeing what kind of a person you are? or what kind of character you have? or how helpful you are? or how good your skins are? is this just one step further from the comments sections on your skins and or personal page? does this make us all critiques and judges? what is the true meaning of these karma points and what is the true and final purpose of them? if not just for fun.[/quote] Yes,Karma points.Only at Karma-mart.Prett
FYI:My findings. [B]AVG8.0[/B] pins my cpu at 100% on startup for [U]8 minutes[/U],then drops to 50-70% during it's 140 miute scan. 50,000k +ram. Active AV/antispyware kept it humming at 38-55% all the time. :( [B]Avast[/B];20-30% on startup for 2minutes, 10-30% during it's 80 minute scan.11,000k.Active AV/AS......hello...tap,...tap,tap...Is this thing on? 00-4% if I stare at task man long enough to see it.This with 6 of 7 providers running(one's a boot scan) Plus it's skinnable!

I have Show desktop,switch windows and 4 other apps in quicklaunch. These can easily be added to OD as separate icons.Thus, if I hid my taskbar ,quicklaunch would be on ObjectDock.I don't have sys tray support on the free version,but OD+ should be able to replace your taskbar.Explore a little more,you'll see. ;)
At first I thought"Big Deal" Now when I look at my score I'm proud of the fact that they represent people whom I've helped in some small way or a contribution I have made to the communuty. Makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. :p They would be meaningless if I asked for them.
My money's on a line/equipment issue on their side. Or....have you seen any unusual lights hovering overhead? Could be a ufo! :LOL: I hope they get you fixed up,good luck.

What elvee said. :CONGRAT: :CONGRAT: :CONGRAT:
"The short version is subscribers will now be getting 12 Stardock Design skins per year for free, but the price of the subscription has increased by $10 to pay for it (still a killer deal for the subscriber)." I just re-read that. :NOTSURE: Imho, that's a mis-statement. The price was going to increase anyway (rising costs) and is deserved. The free skins are a way of saying thank you for sticking with WinCustomize.That's how I choose to look
DX can do so many things,it's both impressive and overwhelming at times.Plus I just love gadgets,widgets and other "gismos" Old ideas ,updated or combined would be a start. Why not find out what people liked/used the most and why they stopped using DX?(WCPodcast?) I can't create,but I can dream. An Object folder that looks like a briefcase? I could use one now. My Computer Icon that also displays cpu/ram info on it's screen? I want one. And put them on a wall with what looks like a desktop(in/o

Sure, our cost of living goes up, then we ask for a raise. Why should WC be any different. My internet service costs me 29.95 a month, how about WC's?(No, I won't trade bills with you) ;) WC is the best value on the 'net.Period. :CONGRAT:
[quote]hehe that would be a not so good idea.. when it reaches over some 1000 downloads it would be a lot of comments... and there is a system thats is in place the star rating system.. although not fair because the original rating is set by mods not by users.... but still better than nothing right[/quote] That's assuming the Rate this Skin button even WORKS.

I make no secret of being a big Stardock/WinCustomize fan.However,I do think that the features that we get vs a non-paying visitor should work. At least most of the time.No advertising and [B]Rating/Voting[/B] on skins are paid advantages. Why are they broken all the time? I haven't rated in 5 days,limiting my downloads in the interest of fairness. Please, keep the ads off and.....[U]please[/U],[U]please [/U][U]please[/U],fix the VOTE button. (:(

justhefacts,give rightclick a look, slick looking,easy to configure, almost0% resource use. You can almost forget about your start menu and ObjectDock,It's great!And some good skins for it also. Welcome to ODNT! Have fun. :D
That's great to hear,Seabass. Update 2.00.058 "broke" Deskscapes on my machine. I did a restore to get it back but I'd like to update from 2.00.055 The error was dwm related,said it wasn't running I think. Task man said it was.Someone posted a similar problem elsewhere in these forums. Thanks

[quote]Not only has the cost increase of food and gas hit my wallet but my escape is hitting my wallet as well.[/quote] I agree that,given the current state of the economy, the timing is bad. But I try to remember that WC is here 24/7/365 with help,humor and great stuff,also a browser and IRC chat. That takes money. It's just part of the price we pay to have no advertising.

In theory, you could have Diamond and Quest WP in TM , WB, MyColors and in c/windows web all at the same time. I just deleted the extras.... And the Quest MC theme to,accidentally....D'oh! X-(
Ahh, when the WB from the theme with an [I]assigned [/I]wp appears in WB Config, it will load the wp into "web" I think. Go to WB config,wallpapers,go all the way to the right. You'll see the ones WB inserted. If TM and WB is installing it in two seperate folders,you'll get dups. I did have that happen once or twice while rebuilding my skins list. Forgetful in my old age. ;p [Edit] Only some are assigned,to be put w/the Windowblind. No idea how t
Thanks for pointing that out,Philly0381, I've never posted to the gallery so I overlooked that.Good call. :D
I've only dl'd four desktops, one by gef, three by some guy named...PuterDudeJim ;) 3 RI(1024x768) One close enoughto use.Some success seems to be linked to how popular the WB is that it ties into. Maybe this new subscriber skin deal would be a good place to show off the power of DX. 12 skins=12 DX themes+players,widgets,etc.
"People are as happy as they make their minds up to be" I forget who said it,but it sure rings true.Things are similar here,moved to SC to care for my wifes two brothers,one with terminal cancer, one had a massive stroke last fathers day.
