Maybe the ratings of more experienced skinners should affect the ratings more There was talk of something like this at the old site where the higher access level, the greater the impact your rating would have on a skin, but I don't know if it was ever implemented or if it will be.
On/Off toggle for netcentric apps for dial-up users. When I'm not on the net, I have two choices, unload DX or click to close the dial-up window that keeps popping open. For example I would like the weather widget I'm using to wait for me to connect to the net, not keep trying to connect on its own....off mode. Once I do connect to the net and while I'm connected it can do its thing....on mode. In fact, the weather widget, imported with DX, asks to con

Should the image be tiled by original author it would actually make the "later Skinstudio filter" (which you used) more efficient than the "earlier Skinstudio filter" which Snidely used because painting a bigger (reasonably sized) bitmap is more efficient than tiling a tiny bitmap many, manu times.

Thanks I get it now
All we can do as honest members of this community, is to not stoop to their level and try to remember why we do what we do in the first place. Yes, it's a nice touchy-feely thing to have great ratings and high downloads, but ya know.. I get a lot of satisfaction from just looking at what I have done and thinking how gruelling and
I don't think there is anyone who can coordinate a look for a desktop better.
January skinning highlights....might want to add the type of proggie being skinned. SkinPlant 2005 4-times makes it look like you were having a memory lapse while you were writing that section Otherwise, execellent info as always and I like the idea of no images. Maybe with future versions you could have a version like this sent via email (lo-fi version) with a link to
Great article and proggie Adam. You continue to push the level of creativity available to skinners. One thing, I can't picture in my mind what the active/inactive shell windows are and what you would be skinning, probably something apparent and I'm just dense this morning. I understand the other states active, disabled and inactive, but I have a question, since I think I've never seen it. When would windows display an open window frame that was disable
Welcome fellow explorers. Today we search for one of the most fundamental concepts of man....Time. Man has been measuring time since the beginning of recorded civilzation. Today we have a wide array of ways to display time on our desktops. The most basic expression of time that you can display on your desktop. <IMG SRC="ht
Adam, I hope you continue to watch this and comment as at it unfolds, so that there is clarification for folks on why something is a such because of the original msstyle and not SkinStudio. Especially so if I attribute a bug to the wrong thing. Perfect example being that the shutdown/logoff dialogs are not skinned with msstyles and need to be created from pieces of the original images or from scratch. SkinStudio truly is an outstanding tool (c
Thanks for the insight Adam and the reply...I was hoping you'd pop in. I have never worked directly with msstyles, so I didn't know about the items you mentioned. Does this hold true for fonts and colors as well? Or is there just no way to set all those settings when working with msstyles? A couple of the things that I hope to try to show is that SkinStudio is great at porting msstyles and the end result on the screen is very comparable to th
Question for anyone who cares? What program do people use to capture screenshots of Object Dock? I have Screenshot Utility and it doesnt pick up Object Dock or anything slightly transparent? I don't use any program, just the PrtScn key. then open a graphics program and hit Ctrl+V to capture the whole screen.
Thought of another one. I subscribe to Netflix. How about a widget that let's you bring up and edit your site queue, has a search function for the site and notifies you of new releases.
That's it. Thanks paxx. IE-SPYAD has put *.sparklit.com on my restricted list.
I think he means the one in this image https://www.stardock.com/brad/blog-62.jpg....I think that version of Panther is the Msstyles version ported and opened up in SKS.
Random window frames....normally there are only two sets of windowborders in each set of frame images....active and inactive. With random window frames you can have multiple sets of window frames with in a set of images and windowblinds will randomly choose which windowborders to use.
Hiya thomassen. That option is enabled. I tried what I thought were similar type of polls at a couple of other sites. Only that site has the issue so far. Could be that IE-SPYAD put the site in as a restricted site? There's like 8,000+ sites in restricted and no search function I was more worried about having difficulty browsing in general, but if it's only one site, I g

So I tried to do the poll question on CyberiaPC.com http://www.cyberiapc.com/ and I couldn't. Instead I got the following dialog warning message.....
