Thanks for the feedback Fuzzy Logic. That must be in the old WC site. I'm focusing more on the beta site, Old site not fully skinned, I know... I'll try anyway when I have the time. Still working on improving the beta, please give it a try, anyway we'll have to get used to it... ;)
Thanks for the new dark skin on the beta site, the problem is it doesn't remember the setting between browser sessions. Another problem is the link for home goes to the forums, no way to go back to the main page of the beta site.
Thanks for the feedback ImStein and OldMsgt! Happy you found my BlackFox theme, it's waiting for editor's approval so long. OldMsgt, have you installed the slideshow images from space I did for BlackFox? It's included in the theme and you can apply it so it appears on an empty tab as background image. Here's the link for the Stylish UserStyle - http://userstyles.org/styles/24642 <img src="http://img535.imageshack.us/img5
Cool dark forums style, only problem is that it still doesn't remember between browser sessions (and restarts of course). Please fix that and it'll be perfect(and also please let us go back to home page). So far I excluded the forums in my Theme that makes all others areas of the site dark (because the forums style is cool as it is). I only did one little tweak for the header that got cut-off and updated my Theme. <a title="WinCustomize - Dark Theme" href="http://userstyles.org/styles/2
Stardock Forums
Have you tried DXWnd?
I did some updates to the code that improve the look. Some un-skinned areas are done in the galleries. Got rid of a header in the forums that was cut-off. Anyway, I updated the script, please update it if you're using it - http://userstyles.org/styles/25121
Thanks, that's good to hear. I agree with you, I'll focus on the beta site. Anyway, I did a quick fix for the old site's forums.
Aha...sorry for the misunderstanding, I mentioned in the original description that the style is potimized for the beta-site, assuming it'll become the main site soon anyway. I admit the style isn't fully compatible with the old site, maybe I should add few lines to the code anyway and improve it, I'll have a look now and update the post if i manage to improve it.
Well, you have to choose the dark option in the forums :) I didn't apply the theme on the forums out of respect to the cool dark design from WC. If you choose dark on the toolbar up the forum it works. The bug is that the forum doesn't remember the choice between browser sessions. Anyway, I'm considering forcing the script on the forums also (because of the annoying bug). I'd let you know if I update the script to include the forums). Thanks for reminding me anyway. It's definitly your "kill
[quote]when you can do this with IE, get back to me, okay?[/quote] Why IE??? Firefox is so much better, there's no question (look at every browser test in the geeks' forums). Come-on, it's not even skinnable (ok with WB but FF has more cool skinning options), no add-ons, slow and unsecure. Do you know everytime they release a security patch it means it wasn't safe (last Google-China hack was made through one of this security holes). Really, for your own good, try firefox, it'll import a
Yes, please, more info... As a docklet developper, I'd like to know if the reflection applies to docklets automatically and if it can be cancelled per docklet. The reason I'm asking is because I've created docklets that have "fake" reflection and if that's the case, I'll have to redo the graphics. Any chance to get a beta copy for developing purpose?
Great kitty, hit me with your magic stick ;) I'd love to help you get into sikinning the web!
Thanks doc!!! I'm encouraged from the good feedback to take it to the next level and do some original images for headers, buttons etc. Right now I took most of them out and replaced with colors and borders etc. It's a lot of fun to Customize WinCustomize :)
Thanks frankell, good to see you here! "customize WinCustomize" It sound funny so i guess it must be good idea [e digicons]:D[/e]
Hi to all the dark side people, I made a userstyle that let's you have the whole site styled in dark colors. Check it out here - http://beta.wincustomize.com/article/375710
Hi I.R.Brainiac, good to see you here. I love your work by the way. Let me know what you think about my userstyle. You probably know how hard it is to make a style that works fluently on a site. I hope I managed to get close enough. Looking forward to hear more feedback.
Thanks for the feedback karmat. I guess it's a bug in the new beta site. Anyway, you're right, PM should work (but it only shows when the user visits the forums). Anyway, you're welcome to email me anytime, you can find my contact on my site - zigboom.com. I'll be happy to stay in touch.
I can imagine all the web becomes beautifully gothic when you'll get into it :) would be really cool! You know, it's possible even to replace the images and use images stored in imageshack etc ... It's quite difficult to do so but with the help of tools like DOM inspector, it can be done. There's no limit to what can be done with Stylish...I'm thinking to redesign the images for the next version just for fun and the challenge of it.
Thanks for the feedback karmat. I guess it was a big wave of thought that I read :) ... I thought about it few times in the past but never did a full style for a website, then I searched userstyles.org and saw it doesn't exist...The dark forum theme (and the telepathy of course) was the trigger. I didn't know I'm not set for exepting emails by the way, had same problem trying to contact other users. It's a shame the option is so hidden(if it exists at all). Any idea how to activate it?
Thanks doc, hope you'll recommend it to all your patients ;) I agree that dark themes are easier on the eyes, happy i can contribute to the general health of our community :)
Thanks Kitty!! Always nice to hear from you. Happy to share some skinning news and my work of course. Stylish is so cool!!! If you got it already...check out the skins they have in userstyles.org, some really cool Facebook, Google, Hotmail skins etc. Looking forward to see your Tim-Burtonish style ... You're welcome to base it on my Style, the code is open-source anyway and you can start from any existing theme. Hope I'm starting a new trend in our community ;) Maybe a new Gallery...
Thanx for trying Fuzzy Logic. The existing dark theme is only for the forums (and it doesn't remember so you have to reactivate it every time). I exluded the forum page from my theme anyway so it won't interfere. Anyway, that's what gave me the idea in the first place, I've already made some UserStyles, always wanted to do WB, thought it's too difficult (it is quite). Anyway the new forum theme motivated me to get it done.
Hi Have you ever wished there would be some alternative themes for our beloved site? Most likely you did, after all we all love skinning and using alternative themes for our applications. Not sure if you know already, but there is a way to skin websites, it's called "Stylish" for Firefox. Stylish is an Add-on for Firefox that let's the user apply various styles to existing websites. There are many styles (themes) for popular sites such as Google, Facebo

First I must say, if your windows doesn't boot, look for bootable cd from known antivirus programs like Kaspersky, norton etc. Theyre able to boot before windows and perform a cleanup, also check my post above, the free kasperski tool can run in safe mode and has extreemly high success rates Also see if the Windows restore center has a backup point that was created when all was good. To avoid the next time go for Acronis true image home (best backup program i know) and remembe
Thank you so much! My WB is released, I was only waiting for the Throbber to update itself and now I know it would never happen without your tutorial!
