if you want to convert large amounts of icons, IconWorkshop is the best solution. if you only want to convert icons you actually use in your dock i would consider it a waste of money. free converter: @Icon Sushi http://towofu.s5.xrea.com/soft/e-index.html also, but takes more time than the program above: Iconshop 1.20 can extract to TIFF and you can convert TIFF to PNG in Photoshop http://users.pandora.be/liontech/

old news, but of course Rainlendar is excellent. Dagwud, Rainlendar is at .14 because it comes from the LiteStep scene. there have always been close ties to *NIX, and here tradionally full version numbers are only given when a program is completely bug free. in the Windows world that´s a little different of course.
i did not say that Linux has better skins. i was talking about the programs that do the Window skinning. they seem to need less powerful computers to work properly. i know that this skin can be done for WindowBlinds. actually some should do that, Nathan (who did it) is a very nice and humble guy and i´m pretty sure he would give permission for a port. i was just showing an example, because the two news posts i remember from here and the GUI Olympics on Linux skinning, showed some of the
if anybody thinks, Linux skinning sucks, please look at this new Enlightenment/GTK theme by Pixelmasochist (aka Babyhead): http://www.deviantart.com/view/946110 has Pixtudio quality
third thought: is Linux just the better OS for skinning or do it´s window managers have better programmers? a combination of Enlightenment or Sawfish with GTK offers the same customization as WindowBlinds and runs fast and stable on really poor systems btw: not everybody has the same preferences. i for example buy a new pair of skis every year. that´s far more important to me than the litt
explorer 17472k ? hehe ... makes a LiteStepper smile. current theme, fully featured (16 modules), all graphics 3092k (and it has everything Sysmetrix has, even anti-aliased clock hands). but i love Sysmetrix when using bbwin32 as shell
Ryan, if you don´t want ActiveDesktop but JPEG wallpapers try one of the wallpaper changing programs. am excellent freeware is this one: http://www.wallpaperchanger.de/ it supports BMP, JPEG, GIF and PNG, is skinnable and also can make your desktop icon caption background transparent
thanks Robohead. i´m glad you like it. usually everybody hates default skins
we don´t have such laws in Germany. to be honest i don´t think it will do any harm to you as long as it is outside. i consider all the smog from the cars that drive around in front of buildings as far more dangerous. (if at all)
sessions ??? sections of course.
i don´t agree with bakerstreet on real life issues very often, but here i do.
gef: as it is a new app that has just been released a few hours ago, skin sites will have to make sessions and skinners have to download and skin first. but there are already two new skins here: http://www.designtechnika.com/forums/index.php?s=5fff41ee0a0760afbe0026bd96b9ef9c&act=ST&f=65&t=596
as far as i know DesktopX has zooming since a long time. reading the first post will also help
sounds reasonable to me Frogboy. as long as i´m still allowed to rant on the messageboard i won´t complain anyways
Neowin always was a haven for rippers, but in this case i don´t see Twist is doing something wrong as long as he keeps the icons to himself (what i believe him). Jafo´s evil twin is amusing as always though
congrats a little ironic that skin #2000 tries to mimic Windows Classic
stricly reggae (except Marvin Gaye of course)
if it have to be singers: Bim Sherman The Congos (vocal duo) Marvin Gaye else: Big Youth Prince Far I Capleton
looking forward to the new release
i´m pretty sure StarDock is capabable of doing an excellent shell. but i wonder if they have enough resources for customer support on this.

you can use either LiteStep or ShortPopup to have menus with your dock.
please stop typing with your feet.
first you want your Windows98 to look like XP. then you want Windows9x support for programs that would help you doing this dropped. does that make any sense?
as DeViLbOi said at ShellFront: "Those who want to learn and have fun with us, hop on board...if not...get out my way f00!"
