I finally got it uploaded but I had to cut the Vista part of the screenshot completely off. Wow. I tried resizing it and that didn't work. But at least it finally uploaded. Thanks guys, I wouldn't have considered the size of the screenshot to be the issue because I've made them the same way now for a year. [e digicons]o_O[/e]

Yeah, just the screenshot. I've uploaded ones that were close to 2 MBs with no problem. Maybe there's some way I can make it smaller.
2.94 MB. I just PM'ed Jafo so we'll see.
Yep. 1152 x 1665
Okay. Let me be specific as to what I did. I went to upload the skin and it kept failing. I tried it with two different screenshots and different file names and the same thing happened. So I came here on the forums and read that sometimes Flash 10 can cause problems with uploading. So I went and got the uninstaller, uninstalled Flash 10, restarted my computer, installed Flash 9, restarted the computer and am still having problems, even though it's showing Flash 9 is on my system
I did use their uninstaller to uninstall it. Then downloaded the Flash 9 pack, and picked one of those to install. It's showing as Flash 9 when I check it.
I wouldn't mind doing that. Anybody want to help out? I would still need to know what the problem is so I could upload in the future.
The one you get when you click on "submit to gallery". Let me see.... it's https://www.wincustomize.com/upload2.aspx I tried the old upload link that somebody posted in another thread but it didn't work either.
Yes on both counts. Flash 9 and .jpg file. I had Flash 10 but downgraded to 9 to try and fix this problem but still no luck. I uploaded a skin last week and nothing had changed inbetween times. So I'm baffled. I even tried renaming the screenshot, thinking maybe it was the characters in the name. But no go. I still get the same error message.
It's about the same size as I always submit. [e digicons]:\[/e]
Congrats everybody! :CONGRAT:
I posted this under Forum Issues but I'm going to put it here too, just in case. ---------- I've tried uploading a WB skin now about 10 times in the last two days. I keep getting the message that my screenshot is invalid. It's a .jpg file. I've even tried uploading two different screenshots and it still won't work. I have Flash 9 and I've tried both Firefox and IE. What could be the problem? I uploaded a skin a week ago with no problems.
Yeah, but would this be a Stardock issue or a WinCustomize issue? I figured it was a WinCustomize issue so that's why I put it here. Guess I could post there too.
Anybody? I hear crickets.

Are no skins being uploaded right now? I submitted one last Friday and it's still in moderation.
Nevermind. :HOT:
This is certainly apropo for the Vista operating system. :D Great job.
Very nice! Great job everybody!
I never have gotten it to work.
I can certainly empathize with you. I've had panic attacks and anxiety as long as I can remember. Skinning has helped me too, especially when I just get stressed out from daily stuff.
Well, I tried the skin I'm working on with the More Programs image on my Vista machine, and the image still won't show. Weird.

[quote who="2of3" reply="4" id="2067100"]I think blackcurtian is talking about the start panel item mouseover. the feature you are talking about, Pat is a Vista only feature (notice the vista icon next to the item in sks) [/quote] No, I don't see a Vista Icon. But then I have it in tree mode, so maybe it doesn't show? Thanks jazzymjr, that's helpful. Too bad, but helpful.
What you're suggesting doesn't work in 6.4 at least not in the way you're describing it. It doesn't seem to want to recognize a two image (normal/mouseover) image even if I set it for two images in the Image Count. I've tried playing with the margins, reducing the size of the image, moving the text margins in the More Programs image area. It's quite frustrating.
