Ugoin, ObjectDesktop come with everything pro, after you pay. Just standard on the trial versions. Yes, skin studio, changes the code for you. You should take a look at it. Might be a little confusing at first but once you get the hang of it...the skies the limit. As for the skins, don't under rate yourself. Those were just some I had done. Just like everyone else, I'm still working on some. <i

We're barely out of the gates with this contest. True. I've put some things up. Think of it, like rolling a snowball down a hill. Slow start but at the end......LOOKOUT!!!

Reply to GUI Olympics 2004 Details in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

(The summer GUI Olympics will focus on icons, themes, MP3 skins, and skin suites.) This is from the front page of the GUIO's page. I hope I'm reading this right. That the skin suites can look the same, because that's what I'm doing. Windowblinds and icons to match and possibly a player. I was wondering about that, also. I'm just hoping people don't just use mac icons like most of the MSStyle ports are for the shell style. I would think that it would have to be (all orig

I cannot believe this..... I went to this thread hoping to find some answers to questions and see all the "good luck everyone" comments, but what I got was this. Since I'm relatively new at skinning (4 years), if I said 1/16th of what was said on this thread, I would be (banned)from this site forever. - I wish everyone the best of luck and hope to see some really great skins! ) [Mess

It's a nice idea, but I have to agree with (DesignCaddy). Lets not make this into the have and havenot. I think we should just be happy knowing we helped. Just trying to keep things in perspective. [Message Edited]

but I see you have it figured out.... Thanks. I didn't know if I should of put it in the other thread, so I posted it here. Thanks,again.

Reply to I need help with .TGAs in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

This might have been touched on already. Just wanted other people to know, that if you can't afford Photoshop-you can still do .tga images. Just make sure that there is transparency showing in your .png file. If not, skin studio will change it to a .bmp image. Hope that helps someone.

Reply to The Un-Official WindowBlinds/SkinStudio Documentation Project in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

Question: When I (had) skinstudio 3, I could import .png images all day long and skinstudio would automaticly change them to .tga images. After upgrading today, skin studio 4, will only change .png images to .bmp images. What am I doing wrong or is there a setting in skinstudio that I'm overlooking? Also, I have checked all 3 options after importing, with no results. (I have PaintShopPro 7 at home). <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/notsure.gif" border=0 ALIGN="absmi

Reply to 'Angel' gets cancelled. in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Sorry to hear Angel is leaving, but after this years episodes, I have been very disappointed. I liked the show better when they were all at the hotel. The only good I have saw of this season is when Cordelia Chase came back (so to speak) she was a ghost after all. Or was She? This next episode of Angel, he becomes a hand PUPPET! It must be the Seasame Street episode. <img src="http://images.stardock

Reply to GUI Olympics 2004 concepts solidifying in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Will the Windowblinds have to be 4.2 compatable with toolbar and animations or do they just need to have shellstyle support? Also for the Icons, do they need to be in the latest formmat or can they be just standard icon packages?

I can't wait to see the people that we haven't seen in months (or years) enter this. Does anybody remember a man called "Dangeruss". He had some fantastic skins. That's just one that is of the top of my head. There are so many good artist, it would be a long list. And I have to agree with paul, also. It would be to easy to spot. We have a ton of questions, that might not be answered until the end of the month, but I'm happy to see the bug still biting people. (skinning bug, that is). <im

Paul, as per usual, I stick my foot in my mouth. Sometimes, curiousity kills the cat, sometimes, the cat eats you. Things are better left unsaid. Again, my apoligies. I hope a don't lose friends and the people I respect over something I said. To all the people who enter, good luck. I don't know if I'm more

My apologies, Jafo. My intentions were not to offend anyone. There are some fantastic skinners out there and they're already winners in my book.

Reply to GUI Olympics 2004 - It's Official! in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I had to wipe the dust off this thread, because I was wondering about a few things. First-I'm going to get a little flak on this one, but we already know who the winners are already. Some of the people here get paid to make skins, so they will have the advantage. Now we just have to see who comes in 2nd, 3rd, etc... (Example) It's like Micheal Jordan playing Joe, Fred and Bubba in a free throw competition. We know who will win, just have to see who the next one in line will be. Second-I'

I remember, about 6 months ago, someone uploaded there new website for everyone to see. They said "This is my new site, what do you think?" I replied, "Thanks, for the free graphics. Am now working on the windowblinds and winamp skin from this. Thanks! Do you have any other websites?" They took it down in a matter of (hours). I thought it was hilarious. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smi

Reply to Download Count Accuracy in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

My earlier comment, I meant a new DL count. Like an update count. I can see, from the comments, that at least 90% of the people are more worried about DL counts than learning and growing as an artist. Do you upload to see your skin as the #1 download or do you want to share and hope people will enjoy your skins well into the future? Do I like to see my skins in the top DL section? Sure, but I would also want to know why. (Hence, the comments). This is a good thread, but it's like

Reply to Download Count Accuracy in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

About the downloads, I would like to see a seperate download count. It's crazy when someone has 3000 downloads then they change the startbutton and they get 3000 more from the same people. Start with the regular download count then have an (updates) count and stop the regular count. Basically, if you update, you start all over again. (Or) If someone updated a skin, you start the download count all over again from (0). That way, if people update and check the reset update, it had bett

Reply to Uploads: (Do)n'ts and Don'ts. in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

This thread is for people who(do not) know about the uploading ports rule. Acually, this started, when I saw a port and a bunch of email attachments to it. I email the person and they sent it to me, so I could maybe find out who did it. Lucky me, they put in all thier info and email address. I sent an email to the one who sent it to me and also to the one who ported it. I got a responce that said, "Sorry, didn't know". Again, the reason for the thread. Let me point out, though, 1

Reply to Uploads: (Do)n'ts and Don'ts. in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

You're right. I saw a screenshot of something of mine that was ported and asked where they got it. They said, "Someone, emailed it to me". Way to read between the lines, horizon.
