The whole point with windowblinds is that you don't need to be a computer wizard to make your own theme. That explains why not all skins are "top notch". Anyone with a slight knowled

I REALLY doubt that. Coding OS security is way different from coding fancy docks and eyecandy.

Wooow! Amazing work!! I think the first one is a bit too dark, and those with the yellowish green tone would probably annoy me, they look a bit too chemical waste-ish. So number 3 or number 5 are my votes. :)

Reply to Safari 4 (release version) won't work with WB in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

[quote who="gmc2" reply="5" id="2254253"]it never has skinned just as Itunes doesn't skin. hmm, not new news.[/quote] Actually, it skinned fine before I updated the safari beta to the release version, they fixed the skinning issue (for the beta) a few versions back. I would think it's that fix that need to be removed for the release version to work. Safari doesn't use a full custom skin like itunes does.

Reply to I would like more games featured in Stardock Apps :D in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

While it would be nice, I believe that game suites are made when the gaming companies approach Stardock about it rather than the other way around. So if you want game suites, you would likely need to push the issue at the publisher(s) of the games you want "blindified". Ofcourse, a demigod suite could be pretty cool. :P

Latest news... Safari 4 is out! And WB is back riding the fail boat on it. Cool beans. :P EDIT: Ok ok... Safari does work, but WB doesn't skin it... I was too excited posting the news to check my way of saying it. :P EDIT2: I think it's due to the fact that they've abandoned the nonstandard way of displaying tabs. *cheer*

Reply to HELP! NOISE! Drives me crazy!! in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

If it's a very short timed sound it's unlikely to be a fan related problem. Remove any discs from the CD/DVD-device and pray that it goes away. If it doesn't, my guess is that your hard drive is singing its last tune. HW Monitor will tell you if you have any temperature related issues. Any temperature above 50C is bad (Depending on your hardware, it may not apply to CPU/GPU).
