Reply to SkinStudio 6 Beta Feedback in Stardock Support General WinCustomize Forums

I posted this in the "New Era" thread. Didn't see this one, until now, so I'll post it here also. I like it so far. Only one (1) issue so far. In 5, when I want to edit an image, my paint program opens up "full screen". In 6, it doesn't. It opens in a small window every time. I hope there's a fix to this. It could get annoying after awhile.

Reply to What are you "working" on? in Community WinCustomize Forums

Back in 2004 sbgFX did a suite called Ignite, that was never uploaded. I asked to do some icons for the suite and he agreed. So I though, I might blow the dust off these and see if I could finish them. This is as far as I got. These are old, so I would have to update these. So, what do you think? Are they just ok? Or would you sell your sister to have them? <img src="http://www.imageshadow.com/imag

Never got this response before. Even though I said I was the owner of the skin. --------------------- Hi, Do you have any legal grounds documenting your claim ? It also seems its just a .wba file, which is also available here: http://www.skinbase.org/rate.php?skins=39141 Yours, Marshall M ------------------- ???

Reply to Research for: Is Skinning getting too hard? in OS Customization WinCustomize Forums

Z71's idea sounds cool,Build your own blinds...but if they all look like modifications of a few basic types...keep them on your own pc...or in the screenshot section. That's exactly what I planned on doing. Starting off with just a few basic types and adding more as the year went on. After rereading that a few time, I may of misread it the first time. It'll be hard to come up with 20 different WBs to put together. That might take years. They

Reply to Research for: Is Skinning getting too hard? in OS Customization WinCustomize Forums

Well, I've had an idea floating around in my head that I think would make it easier and fun for beginners to skin. What if in SKS, or even a separate app, for each GUI element you had a drop down list of pre-made graphics with the ability to control the hue, tranparency, contrast, etc. For example, you open up the brand new "Skin Wizard" utility that comes with SKS. An option comes up asking you "Chose the type of window boarders" Then of course 'Change color' and 'Cha

I brought this to the attention of Zoomba, months ago. Brad posted a letter, on the forums, suggesting the removal of all Stardock skins. I found this site by (looking) for my skins, on the net. I emailed them months ago, to take my skins down, with no resolution. I guess it's time to send another. There was a reason, I didn't create a thread on this issue, because I didn't want any undo attention, brought to the site. There will be a lot of people that will go there now, to

Reply to WB Skin Quality these days in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

This is only meant as a helpful suggestion (hint). There is a way to do it just a little faster than WBconfig. Go to the Windowblinds folder and make a "shortcut" of WBload. Place it in your quicklauch, if you use quicklaunch, then after you save the skin in SkinStudio just click the icon. Instant re-fresh. It'll only save you a second or two. That's about it. I'm eagerly awaiting the

mrs starkers, I'm not completely going away. I'll still be around. I just need a little breather. I'm not like most or the community, I don't leave 1000 comments a day. I usually leave a comment or two a week, if that. Sometimes less. Maybe it's my fault. I don't leave enough comments for people to get a feel of what I'm like and who I am. I only post if I feel I have something to contribute. I neve

I've read all the comments. It's good to know I'm not the only one in the boat. It's appreciated. I'm not completely going away. I'll pop in from time to time and if someone needs help, I'll PM them or email them. Some very good advice given. I thank you. For an interesting day, keep reading...... You ever have one of those days? This is a true story. I can prove every bit of it. The power went off Thursday night so my alarm clock didn't go off and I "was" going to be

Good Bye Forums in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

About every 6 months, I try to come to the forums and be a part of the community. Been doing it for about the last 5 years. But the same thing happens every time. I make a comment and someone will critique, add to, take it the wrong way or just state the obvious about something I've said. I've even tried to help people and there will always be other people that will come in and just totally rip what advice I give. Some people think it's fun to give little jabs. I'm not the only one this

I would also like to apologize. To the community and to I.R. Brainiac. I know better than this. I should have taken it off the thread and cleared things up immediately. I have no excuse. I'm hoping we can say that we all make mistakes and get back to normal. My apologies, also, to Kitty for taking over the thread.

I finally found the (one) time I used never mind. But you didn't read all the comments. You took it out of context. This is all from the same skin. Comment #1 (Master) Z71Feb 26, 2007 8:50 AM Looks like a nice, clean and simple skin. I read in your description, on the SS, components are toolbars and shell styles. Does it have animations, also? Comment #23 (Skinner) JJ YingFeb 27, 2007 7:49 PM Though I used default arial fonts instead of Segoe UI in E

Ya didit to me at the gui champs...its kinda a joke to a few of us...its not a singular event. Don't just say it. Provide a link, so I can defend myself. I do remember not being able to comment and I did a test on one of your skins (which you were helpful on). Maybe I asked a question and before anyone could answer I found out the answer and removed the question. I don't know because I don't have it in front of me to see what went on. Ple
