[quote who="Jafo" reply="31" id="3442386"] Not sure why my first one got blown off.... 'Do it wright' ....isn't a typo. People may need to look up the meaning of 'wright' .....[/quote] No Jafo it did not get blown off. In England it would probably fly, in Canada it would be seen as a typo. I want to be busy but explaining the name is not part of the busy I want.
[quote who="WebGizmos" reply="29" id="3442366"] My advice...be honest in your name. "Home repairs done right!" Get a few jobs under your belt...do a good job...past happy clients are great references.[/quote] Absolutely. This is not my first kick at the can though. I have plenty of jobs under my belt dating back to the 80's and I even have some photos to show my work along with references. The thing is this is my first go at it working for myself 2500 miles aw
[quote who="WebGizmos" reply="26" id="3442309"] I would suggest not having the name "crooks" in your logo. [/quote] I think I agree with you. It is a negative word that even used with humor would cause some to look elsewhere.

Good suggestions also Barb and Uvah. Starkers are you suggesting I go the reverse psychology route with Crooks or Crooked like Buckley's cough syrup, "It taste awful but it works" lol I like your last suggestion because it sounds strong but might be better suited for a construction business. You guys and gals have good ideas. Keep them coming.

[quote who="teddybearcholla" reply="1" id="3442048"] What kind of home repairs? Most any kind of remodeling or? And I don't think you want "Crooks" included in the name. [/quote] lol, no Crooks. All home repairs with some small Reno's but mostly repairing or replacing anything that is broke. I have over 25 years construction and maintenance experience and had my own woodworking shop.
So I have some extra time on my hands and decided to start a home repair business. I know there are a lot of clever and imaginative members here that are great with naming things such as skins so I thought it made sense to ask for your help. Can you think of a clever home repair name. I am trying to avoid something with handyman. I can't wait to hear what you come up with. [e digicons]:)[/e]

Thanks moshi but I do have files and folders visible. What I am finding is that when I install a smx skin it creates a folder called virtual store in my application data. I deleted that folder and tried to install another smx skin and that folder was recreated. So inst4ead of my skins being installed here C:\Program Files\SysMetrix\Themes (which is where they were always installed with Windows 7) they are now installed here, C:\Users\KJC\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\SysMetrix\Them

[quote who="WinMonster2" reply="4" id="3439776"] I have had this with a few smx skin installs , in my case the folders property had become set to hidden during the install some how. Have you done a search to see where windows says they are? [/quote] I just found where they are being installed at, C:\Users\KJC\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\SysMetrix\Themes What can I do to make them install in the default themes folder?

Normally they go into the installation folder and smx is telling me they are there but they are not. I know they are somewhere on my computer because I can load the skins.

When I install SMX skins now in the configuration window of smx it says that the skin is located in the skins installation folder but it actually is not there. The only skins in the themes folder is the default themes. The themes show up in smx and I can load them but I cannot find their folders even with a search. View the picture below. Note where smx says the background image is located and then look at the themes directory on the left and you will see there is no theme with that name.

I kind of like this Falzone's cases are cool but would take more time and skill than I have. Good luck[/quote] Thanks but its not that hard for me. I have been a woodworker for 25 years so I have learnt a thing or two. I will keep it somewhat simple though and I think this old radio is the design I will go with
I am also thinking about doing a build. I want to make my own case out of wood. I kind of like this http://www.nickfalzonedesign.com/sangaku.html but will probably build something completely different.
Thanks Guy's. Tim I am aware she made a light substyle, I was not looking to change the background color. I was just wondering if I could change the font color but it does appear to be site specific so I will just use palemoon for that particular site.
So I am trying to update Karens N Gauge Ment blind for Windows 8. I was able to make some changes but I am wondering how to edit the IE font. See photo. If this has been covered in another thread just let me have the link. Cheers With Palemoon it looks like this.

That will make it smaller. Reduced 96%Original 477 x 455[/quote] Or if you don't need 20 programs on your start menu just use the allocate room for large icons and choose a small number. I use 7 and my start menus are short.
