Reply to Public Beta for Paint Shop Pro 8 in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I've been looking at the internal coding of them and I think it would save me sooo much time in laborious things like putting 50 PNG's in a line for a DX object animation. Just need to work out how to write the code for it. /me goes off to learn python.

Peff: I suspect that the majority of stardock have their hands busy trying to get Galciv completed. Also if you are using the skinbrowser then all you need to do is click on chat and connect and you will be in the wincustomize channel. Then just type /join #stardock and you'll be magically transported to the stardock channel where you can ask questions to your hearts content and will probably get an answer (even if it's just 'Sorry. No one here at this time of day come back in 5 hours' or som

Koasati: I think the idea is that you start recording a script and then go through the preferences setting it as you wish it. Then you save the script. If you copy the actual script file itself somewhere else safe then if you have to reinstall you can always just shove it back in and run the script to be back to your favourite settings. I haven't actually tried this myself but I imagine that's what it means. <img src

Reply to I need some Objectbar help please in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

To move the bars around physically on screen so they appear where you want try dragging them with Ctrl down. It depends if the bar has been specified as being allowed to be dragged with Ctrl whether that will work. If you want to come onto #stardock I can try and troubleshoot with you.

Reply to Question regarding WB 4 Shellstyle skinning in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I suspect at the moment all WB does is inject the bitmaps on the fly into the place of the normal shellstyle ones. Windows XP actually displays it in whatever way it desires. Probably no way to set things like that in WB without something that takes control of the drawing too. Whether Stardock will be able to work around that is something we have to wait and see I guess. Of course I may be speaking rubbish. I've been known to in the past. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/j

Reply to Calling an Admin in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

digitaljames : I am sure VoodooFreak didn't mean to post your work without permission. I believe he did all the images himself recreating images he found on the web (presumably thinking they were Bill Barts). If he had realised he needed your permission I am sure he would have contacted you as we both spent weeks trying to get Bill Barts permission. In fact I had a part in creating the vectors for some of the images so I know that they were created from scratch. Will point him your way when

Reply to If new Stardock software required Windows XP ... in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Unfortunately the reputation that 9x/ME gave to stardocks apps was not a terribly good one. Causes instability, hogs resources, looks cool but slows things down too much being a few complaints leveled at Windowblinds for one. The reputation coming with 2K and now XP is looking a lot better. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/sb.gif" border=0 ALIGN="absmiddle" ALT="Powered by SkinBro

Reply to .tga files in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Actually PSP can do 32 bit TGA's (at least 7 can anyway) You just need to save an alpha channel manually before saving. Create your image on a layer or layers Merge to one layer Ctrl-A to select all Click the mouse on a part of the image The whole image gets hilighted without background Selections->Save To Alpha Channel Save as a new channel (doesn't matter what you call it) Save as a tga. If it worked you'll get a warning that it's only going to sa

Styl Skinner: I would think it's simpler to do an acceptance letter because it is unlikely to be replied to by anger and rudeness and you don't need to explain why it was accepted. Possibly an auto process once an admin approves the wall.

You are Slackware Linux. You are the brightest among your peers, but are often mistaken as insane. Your elegant solutions to problems often take a little longer, but require much less effort to complete.
