That link was just what I needed, EventHorizon. Thank you, Xerraire. I'll look into those Yahoo groups and get some perspective from your artwork. Thanks again, guys.

Thanks EventHorizon. Talk about frank appraisal. But that's what I wanted. I will indeed look at those tutorials. About the JPEG quality...I know how it works, I use PSP. I used a high compression ratio (I know it looks ugly) becuase I have a "molasses-modem". Thank you again for your help.

Hey everyone...Terragen is the most wonderful program in the world not developed by Stardock. If the druids had this, they wouldn't have needed to build this "Stonehenge". Anyway, attached here is my first decently rendered image. It's called Ancient Mars. Yeah, stupid name. Now, I want to know what you think. Comments, criticism, all of it, tell me! Would you use it? Because this is my first piece, please

Reply to Furan's Avalon article in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I consistently follow Longhorn development, and Avalon/Aero are going to be superb. Paul Thurott, who runs WinSuperSite.com, has loads of up-to-date stuff about Longhorn, and some excellent Aero screens. The thing I am most amazed about is that in Paul's article, he said that during a conference an MS exec loaded 3 separate windows of a Star Wars triailer and spun them around simultaneously, and the CPU monitor didn't even notice. That kind of power is going to be incredible for the further adva

Stupid nonexistant spellchecker...that's "thought". Jafo, how do you quote? I do not know. Yes, I am "quote-dysfunctional." It's a new syndrome, sort of like being fatally allergic to air that contains oxygen.

China, maybe we should have Kona alias UzEE do that... Just kidding. No offense Kona. Have you ever tried making DX objects? It is as easy as typing threads, which you are good at. If you uploaded some skins, KarmaGirl might take it as what we call "effort" and give you a Nobel prize. Peoples, this is a family site, let's kill the accusations and have some fun. I think a law should be passed tha

Reply to An optimistic outlook for the present & future of skinning… in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I agree, Shmoopy. Unfortunately, I am now a mindless robot whose those dwell on nothing but skinning, even when I'm supposed to be paying attention in classes. SkinStudio is VERY easy to use (thanks Stardock), but Sir Hus is right...The hard part is making the graphics. There are just so many...Aaargh. I'm trying to figure out PSP, and after I figure out how to insert text I'll do an icon. Of a black box. That says "My Computer". Oh, celebrate the rise of customization. <img src="http://images.

Yeah, a big lawsuit could develop if it was impossible to turn off...Again. Consumers may not know how to express their views. Too bad really, this is a controversial subject. Sort of like a double-edged sword; it could help legitimate stuff distribute safer, but undoubtedly there will be big name companies using exploits to control what you do... <A HREF="https://www.wincustomize.com/index

You know, I have the same problem. I have an Athlon 2700, 1GB of Corsair DDR400, and a RADEON 9500 Pro. Using latest drivers, Catalyst 3.7. XP Pro.
