[quote who="Island Dog" reply="28" id="3439822"]Doesn't seem like there's much interest in this.[/quote] you could try a different approach once. how about providing a "base" skin (i am sure there are plenty of left-overs around at Stardock) and let people modify it. i'd guess creating a WB skin from scratch would be a huge obstacle for most people.

first of all, try showing hidden files/folders. i don't use Windows 8, but i suspect it uses hardlinks or junctions here to keep %ProgramFiles% clean (it is good Windows finally does that). if that is the case, then leave it as it is. once the hidden "files"/"folders" are visible, it should not make a difference in day to day use.

i could write you a rather harsh critique, but i am not sure whether you could handle that as this would be rather uncommon for WC. ;) but i am really not sure if the usual "great job" comments will be beneficial for you. it is pretty obvious you don't know much about HTML and web design and you use some point-and-click tool. per se there is nothing wrong with that, but either the toolset you use sucks badly or you messed something up. the problem is that the page is so st

"Microsoft agreed" sounds like they had a choice. the newspapers reported they lost a lawsuit due to trademark infringement. they aren't really lucky with their branding recently, guess that happens when you use Bing to search for existing trademarks. ;)

it still seems gmc2 is the only one that understands the concept of trolling. trolling would have been: - giving the book a five star rating. - praising the author for his poetic deconstruction of the English language. - pointing out how brilliantly the author uses the fantasy genre for an allegory on current political events (the critic would have to pretend to be an extreme right-winger himself) what she did was writing a

i have to say, that if i would have read the book, there is a high chance i would have rated it very low as well. but that's just my taste, i prefer authors like Mario Vargas Llosa or V.S. Naipaul. the racism part is crap though. not really necessary to single out this book. if you apply such standards, most books of that genre would need to be labeled racist.
