Reply to New Star Trek Theme............ in OS Customization WinCustomize Forums

Yeah, It's a regular love fest. Love the "it's junk" comment. Whatever. Same old story here. Just validates my point why I'll never bring our themes to Windowblinds. Why would we... "FTL" right? About bringing the "bells and whistles"... even if we did work out some deal with Stardock to port our themes over to this format (which I'm almost fairly certain won't happen after my last call with Phil Madis) there wouldn't be much change to the themes. I don't want a rocket shift blasting

Oh and I retract my statement calling BX an idiot. He's really a hero. For going to that bad, bad place and doing "recon". We all know he wasn't there for the free applications, movies and MyColors themes... he was there to protect Stardock IP and truth, justice and the American way. I'm getting a little choked up now. I think I have to go. It's getting hard to type through my watery (but not itchy) eyes.

You're right this type of thread can get out of control. The point is, it should never been allowed to stay up. The title is libelous. Wait, let me rephrase this, it should be allowed to stay up with a proper, non-libelous title. The topic/conversation is legitimate. The title that everyone on the index page of this site sees is not. Because it is stated as fact. When it's not. However, I don't mind the conversation. I did what's best for my company in this situation. And will do it a

You must be talking about me Neil right? Since you posted that after my comment. But let's not talk about how its not nice to lie about a company in the title of the post. To defame. Let's just make sure no one gets their feelings hurt. We wouldn't want that to happen.

If you're going to keep talking about us, it would be nice to get your facts straight at least once. And since you felt the need to post the coupon code I'm going to give them another one. Something catchy like: BX-IS-AN-ASSHAT. I'll make sure they post that to all their members. And why are you on there anywhere? Just doing "rec

It wouldn't be MyColors that we used. Most likely it will just put a special installer the deposits all the theme elements to a folder. So your WB theme, icon package, wallpaper, wmp 11 skin and the widget would all be served up a la carte so to speak.

There's no extra app to apply icons, it's all part of the same thing. I think we probably do it the same way as icon packager. Besides I normally include the pngs for all the icons in the extra folders so people can use them in their docks. Not sure about the animations. I imagine it will have full alpha and we'll re-skin certain elements.

Leo: We just finished up a huge project for them and we're about to start another one. They're definitely perfectionists, but that's a strength as far as I'm concerned and a trait Billy and I share. Same with Kol and the others at TSF. We don't like to match what we've done before, we try to beat it. Are we always successful? Who knows, but not for lack of trying. I grew up 3 hours south of Disney World here in South Florida, so they have always been a part of life. If Brad has no obje

From top down: Jafo: No reason it shouldn't play nice with Litestep. Did you try turning off litestep, installing it and then turning it back on? Bebi: We'll try it for both Vista and XP. It's going to be DarkMatter: Subspace Z71: I've all ready shown Windows in some of our themes, just not all of them, so its not a big deal to me. Will I go back and redo all the screen promos i've done? No. I'll just add some Window Shots for future ones and DarkMatter since they cost

Brad: I'd probably feel that a lot more if i was sitting on the boat with you. I check the mail, i check my iPhone... no boat invite. Yeah Yeah I'll show more action shots of Hyperdesk. You guys don't realize how hard that is when your work computer is 2560 x 1600 or 1920 x 1200. The Mac Air is 1280 x 800. Kinda skinny. We're going to patch Vista but we're probably going to offer WB Vista skins and do a version of Hyperdesk for this crowd. We're about themes. I don't care what

Nope. I'm investing in a nanny. My first line of defense against projectile vomit and ummm... diaareah. It's gross just typing that word. I don't sleep now. I went to bed at 5am and woke up at 10am. Now you know why i'm grumpy. I will say this, working at home has clear advantages over working at an office. Forget the fact that you don't pay anything for gasoline, but you can literally take a nap any time you need to. Plus i prefer computing in boxer shorts than slacks. Am i right? Am i

Well I for one welcome our Hyperdesk overlords.... er wait, that's what you say on Digg. Back on topic, before my com padre started into it with mr. styler, does anyone know if there is a restriction for creating WB commercially. Certainly one of you Stardockers know. Andrew? Karma? If not, I can have DarkMatter converted in a few weeks and ready for consumption.

I'll all for a more civil discussion. That was my intention initially. But a person can only take so much before you want to fight back. This is nothing... Who remembers the lashing i got at skinz.org when i tried to recruit skinners to do work for hire? Now that was brutal. But love me or hate me, we've paid our dues. Look how far Brad and I have gone in that time. That was back in 1999 and now Brad is doing like 20+ million in revenue and growing and we'll i'm not hehe but i'

That's right Bebi, you do the wiki. I forgot about that. I remember reading that awhile ago. So you do something. :-) And here i thought they kept you around for that witty repartee :) I'd give you a baby, if i wasn't all ready having one in... oh about 7 days.
