Reply to PopUp-menu Script help please in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

hihi. The fun of debugging. The worst bit is when the bug is a missing ".". Those a really hard to notice sometimes. I've spent hours over them pesky little four pixels some times.

Avast! It speaks..? Yarrh.... in Windows Software WinCustomize Forums

I installed Avast on my Vista 5744 partition a couple of days ago. Seem to work fine, but... every time it updates itself it notifies me by speaking. I've tried to turn it of, cause I have nodesire to know when that happends, I simply trust it will do it's job. But for the love of sanity I can't find the setting. I found a "Silent" optionbox in the "Updates" section of the program settings, but it didn't seem to have much effect. It's still talking to me. Anyone know how to make this parrot sile

Reply to Vista RC2 is Here, But is it Ready? in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Odd how things go back and forth in these builds. In 5600 PhotoShopCS2 ran under Aero, in 5477 Aero Basic kicks in. In 5600 I could manually tell Vista to activate before the automatic activation after 3 days, but in 5477 nothings happends when I tell it to register. Go figure.

Reply to Should Windows Vista support skinning? in Aero WinCustomize Forums

I think it has benefitted the skinning community that skinning ahs been done by third party. WB has pushed forward more skinning features than MS had built into its own. Lets face it, MS will never push ahead with trying to add more feature to a built-in skinning engine. So I think a thirdpary engine is the best. Now, when will we be able to skinn Vista and at the same time run Aero?

Reply to WB for Vista OS? in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

Yea, Microsoft practive it's own variant of the definition of Beta and RC. 5744 clamied that DesktopX wouldn't be compatible when I upgraded from 5600, but I've seen no issues so far. For most apps you could probably start developing for Vista on the RC's. But remember how closely WB integrates with the OS.

Oh, btw, I mentioned earlier that I had trubble installing 5728 from a virtual DVD drive where as it would jsut fail when I clicked the Install button, with this build 5744 it works just fine. Saved me the hazzle of burning a DVD just for a one time use.

I installed 5456 as a fresh install and it took me about 20 minutes for it to complete. (Then a couple of other drivers, but it didn't actually take much time.) However, when I upgraded to 5600 (RC1) it took about 3 hours. Same thing when I just upgraded to 5744 (RC2). A fresh install with Vista is fast, a upgrade takes aaaages. My system is a DELL P4HT 2.8GHz, 1GB RAM, ATI Radeon 9800. (Windows Experience Index 4,1) It'd most likely be

They've been chucking out new builds quite quickly lately. I haven't even got around to install 5728 yet. (Though I tried to install it from a Virtual CD where the install would just fail. Was going to try it from a DVD. Lets see if this one is any different.)

Reply to Weekly Poll in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Yea, a OB skin contest to boost the number of OB2 skins would be nice. I really like how you can quickly assemble a bar in OB, but I want skins and at the moment I find it quite confusing to try to skin this fella.

Reply to Better Fonts for Skins in OS Customization WinCustomize Forums

I would use many of the fonts there in a skin unless the skin had really big textsize. Grotesque don't work in small fontsizes for screen. For good readability it need to be hinted and kerned.

Mind you, you can use less if statements in that code: Sub object_onscriptenter object.Text= object.PersistStorage("newtext") End Sub Sub Object_OnLbuttonup(x,y,dragged) Dim Input If Not dragged Then Input = InputBox("Enter seconds 1-5") If IsNumberic(Input) And Input 0 Then object.PersistStorage("newtext")= Input Object.Text= object.PersistStorage("newtext") End If End If End Sub

Reply to Dead Brain Cells in ObjectBar WinCustomize Forums

I just gabve it a go because I wanted to use OB to add a taskbar on my (brand new ) second monitor and tried to match up the look. I've managed to skin the taskbar buttons, however, for the love of sanity I can't work out to skin the actual bar background. At the moment it's the colour of the classic theme. I even found it really hard to create a new OB skin in SKS. I ended up adding another skin to one
