Just trying to help, but after you hit continue, switch to DesktopX Builder and resave the theme. This should save it (for) your computer. It works for me.

How much easier can it be compared to the present networking, perpetual security updates, etc? How much money and time can be saved? That's like buying a car and never getting a tune up. Eventually, it'll break. Yes, I do agree that it might be less time consuming and quicker to install, but that

Sorry to say, but the site is still the same way it's been for the last 6 months. Log In, go to the "yes or no" page and it redirects back to the "log in" page. Maybe, next time, they should have it open, before saying anything or am I missing something.

Yes, I updated yesterday and am having the same problem. Hopefully, this will be fixed soon. Which is ironic, since I just got done with a new icon pack and can't see if it's working right to upload.

Reply to The Next Skinning contest.. in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Why bother having a contest at all when we all know by looking at past contest winners that the masters of the craft always win? This is not always true. For the first WB contest, I came in dead, last place, behind everyone. This last contest I did really well coming in 4 or 5 in one of the cate

When people buy Object Desktop, do they say "Stardock is the ones who make the great screenshots". (No). "Stardock is the ones who make the great media players". (No) "Stardock is the ones who make the great wallpapers". (No). They say "Stardock is the ones who brung WindowBlinds to life". So I say, stick with what works. That way, everyone wins. <BR

I have found, that from the beginning of adding toolbars and animations, that if they aren't included people ask "Are you going to finish it?" I feel, if a WB has toolbars and animations, you should count it as a bonus. Some times it takes almost as long as making a WB. And ~Fairy, I've made a couple for the ladies, because my girlfriend kept complain

That was really a good read. I think I laughed harder the second time reading it to the family. It is so true though, you go out and buy 1000's of dollars of stuff and still can't produce anything. Remember, it's the user not the software. Thanks.

A while back, Frogboy, did a small article about GUI Champion skins that were over looked. I had a couple skins in there but one made me tilt my head. I saw my "PerPlex" skin was colored green. (The original color is blue). To me, that was like taking the ThunderStorm windowblind and coloring it red and showing everyone what it looked like. It was no big deal. It did have custom color support. I could have easily emailed him and politely asked

I didn't answer the last time this was asked. I will now. To answer your question, It's all relative. It's like asking "Why is the sky blue?". You'll get a 1000 different answers. To me, it's not the program but the user. I've read people's descriptions and they brag and brag that they used photoshop or coreldraw, etc...and it looked terrible. Then, I've seen (not just ok) but beautiful works of art, that were made using MSPaint. I

See if you have a shortcut in the (Start panel-All Programs) menu. If you do, just right-click on the shortcut, click properties and then press the (Find Target) button. A window should open and show the path. Hope that helps.

Well, I thought I would add to the pot and see what kind of stew we come up with. When I heard the news of a new website, I thought you would take the old site and improve and tweak the heck out of it. (If it's not broke, don't fix it). I do feel the 2 columns are a waste of space. Guess I'm old school and like the 3 column feel. I do agree that the navigation needs improving. Have to click more to get to where you need to go. On 56K, it

What I think is funny, is when you uninstall it, it tells you "If you are worried about the security of your computer, disconnect it from the internet". (No DUH, dimwit). I haven't laughed that hard in quite awhile. :D

General WB site question. in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I've noticed that I have 2 different download counts for the same skins. One for windowblinds and the other for the GUI Championships. Are they being counted as 2 seperate skins? Or are they being counted as one for the windowblind count in the WB section at the top left? It's no big deal. Just curious.

I really got into skinning, when I saw Polymer by The Skindicate back in the day. I started tweaking it and the next thing I knew I was hooked. If it was skinable, I turned it into a Polymer skin.

matrixman1, I have to apologize, for all the bad and distasteful comments on this thread. It usually, isn't this bad with back biting and name calling. Looking at your UserID you seem to be relatively new here. Just to let you know, this is a windows website. Whenever someone mentions anything mac, it's like opening a can of worms. I hope you haven't been discouraged. I welcome you to the community. Have fun, cause that's what it's suppose to be. <img src="http://images.stardock.com
