The skinners are limitated to the skinning possibilities of a program, so the contest must be for you (th

Reply to Why a Hourglass for “Run”? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Yes, the Run icon is the most hard to do (in concept). 'Run' can be the same as 'execute' or 'more functionality to the system'. When i begin to make the 'Run' icon, it comes to me always the same idea: a toothed weel (that means a machine making their own work), but this is a usual design used for Control Panel There's also other option: abstract the 'Run' Concept and using the other 'run' pur

DesktopX are a enhancement for the GUI, not a change. There's some objects for desktopx (you can download them on this site) that can do these tasks (for the calendar i don't konw). DesktopX puts any object in memory, for instant access to it. These objects are graphics. So, if you use lots of objects, you are spending lots of computer resources.

Reply to Hi! I am a Chinese, I have downloaded many windowblinds skins, do you have something good? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Hello China and all chinese people (the most around the world) Use the SkinStudio program that cames with Object Desktop subscription. For making the graphics, do you need any bitmap manipulation program such Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro or The Gimp (this is free). Try to make your own graphics. Don't worry if the first results aren't good, try again! If you use graphics made by others (such bu

Reply to Is innovation on the rise in skinning? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I'm two days at beach, and you begin to speak about interesting themes! > I think that a skinner must be creative. There's a lot of skins that are using the same theme. There's a lot of great WindowBlinds authors but not a lot of innovative styles. One example: the Master Essorant have not lots of downloads, he have not lots of skins at Wincustomize, but he have one of most diverse skins collection. Trre
