Reply to Skin Pack 4 in progress... in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

Well spotted Jeff T: but not quite the full story. I suppose that if FB has already mentioned it in his blog, then it isn't too much of a secret... Stardock will be releasing a skin pack which is made up of a pick of skins from my first three skin packs (Colours, Cooler and Refresh - chosen I think by the Stardock staff!), plus a new skin which you've had a sneak preview of above. I will also be releasing a pack of three new

Retro WB skin - just updated, now seems lost! in Stardock Software WinCustomize Forums

I updated my 'Retro' skin today and now after waiting a while seems to be lost! It isn't returned in the search in the WB section, or listed amongst my skins. Please come back! It was a nice one!

Well the two above are ready now and the third is about 60% complete. Looks like I've missed my end of Februray deadline, but the release should be soon - hopefully within the next couple of weeks.

Supermarket pizza doesn't have anough cheese on it. Make you're own and put english stilton on it or Rochefort - any blue cheese. And mozzarella as well. And... other stuff. Now I'm dribblin.

Here's a 'work in progress' snapshot of skins 1 and 2 in the pack of three: The accent, as usual, is on 'usableness'.

Good points Michelle - but basically it's because we are all just lazy old duffers! (Myself being "big chief king-of-the-hill lazy duffer who doesn't even use SKS because I'm too old and can't cope with change").

Reply to What web design software do you use? in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

I use EditPlus for the HTML/CSS/Javascript (a fancy text editor with syntax highlighting, code shortcuts and browser integration ...ok, it's about the best thing I've found for professional programming, analysing and general file editing... I love it.), and of course Photoshop, Xara X and a hundred other little apps for the graphics. (Did I see someone say vi? Must be a masochist! Or o

Skin Pack 4 in progress... in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

Now that I've updated my website a bit and brought the skins up to date, I've started on the new skin pack. This one, like my previous ones, will have three exclusive WindowBlinds skins available for sale for $5. Each one will be v4.x skins which will include progress animations, shellstyles, toolbar icons and wallpapers, and for the first time - compact start menu options. The first skin is complete and number two is under way! I'm hoping f

That happened to me too. I re installed Windows and everything worked ok.

Reply to Burning up the keys - Photoshop shortcuts in Tutorials WinCustomize Forums

I'd definitely recommend learning the hotkeys. It speeds the creative process up by several orders. I've been in the habit of using Alt+F+A for 'save as', because it's fairly portable across many applications, but now Photoshop CS uses Alt+F+V !! What a nuisance.

It's a really great addition to the feature set. (I can just see 'Aero' start menus popping up everywhere... argh!)

My hobbies? Apart from skinning, mostly music related - played the piano for about 34 years and the organ at the local church for about 24 years (not non-stop by the way...), conducted the orchestra and done the musical director job at the local operatic society for the last 7 years (they keep asking me back - desperate fools!), I've been married for 15 yea

Thank you for including Retro in your screenshot Cordelia. I have to confess it's stayed on my own desktop for a while (since even before I posted it). That GT3 though - it's a fine skin and no mistake.

Ah. Well thank goodness for that.

Reply to Titles in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

testing... Hope I don't have a title at all still. I prefer just 'Essorant'. In fact, I seem to remember that you could select a title from a drop-down list, which included 'none' as an option. I have no need of title, glasshopper.
