Translating skinning and theme software in Customization Software JoeUser Forums

This article is directed to those that do not use English as your primary language as well as the Stardock developers. Why care about localization? I was very happy when WindowBlinds could be localized. (All though WindowFX has had this feature earlier I was not aware of it and it turns out to be flawed.) One of the reasons that this made me happy where that I now finally could have my parents and other computer novice people use

Reply to What Customization stuff do you use that we don't have? in Community WinCustomize Forums

It'd be very nice with a forum category for language translation of programs. I would really like to see one centralized placed where we can discuiss and find resources for language translaton. Some of the SD products feature names and technical skinning terms that isn't present in any other language. Being able to talk about various solution in a forum would be one way to handle this problem. And as well having threads with tips and link to resources

That would be very interesting. Not sure if I can help really. Don't do C. Only tried VB many years ago. But I might be able to write C# test programs.

Just wanted to let people know of something that really made me smile today. I was in town meeting someone quite close to me that I haven't seen for quite a while. Then just before we had to go to our selfs, the sky that was covered with snowclouds suddenly opened up and displayed a piece of open sky. It was like someone turned up the light with a dimmer switch. It was amazing. It really made my day. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/wc/smiles/B

Reply to Getting Rid of XP's default screen savers in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

Easier to simply set XP to not use screensavers than to hack the system to get rid fo the files. I just have my monitor power off after a while. That is, I do that on my LCD monitor as it's so quick to turn on and off. The old monitor on my parents computer takes a while until the picture appear.

I used Winamp for many many years. Then when I got XP I started playing around with WMP9 to see how it was like. That resulted in that I haven't really used Winamp for a couple of years now. Not sure if I am really comfortable with WMP10. Can't put my finger on it. A couple of weeks ago I downloaded wxmusik and are currently trying that one out. I just want a program that play my music and can manage my folder with music. CD ripping and obtaini

The hard part of fixing someones computer is trying to understand what they claim to be broken. The confustion and mixup of technical terms forces takes the longest time to dechifre. When I get asked to look at someones computer I allways bring a CD with Ad-aware and Spybot SD with me.

Can I just bring to focus that I cannot view any article or forum page in Firefox any more. All I see is the WC header. The entire HTML document is downloaded. Seem to be some rendering problems. Perhaps som broken tags? This started today.
