Faisal, sorry that got through. It has been removed and the person who did it has been notified. Unfortunately, since there are thousands of skins, themes, and walls on here, it is impossible to remember them all.

I know what you mean about advertising to the wrong people. I see all these ads about "ditch the dish" from cable companies. Yeah, well I *would* if you offered cable where I live! What are they thinking? I get stuff in the mail all the time about getting DSL only to call and find out it's not available. So why do they waste their money sending it to me? It's so frustrating!

Shmoopy:"Karmagirl:...The sweet yet stern one...she says it straight from the hip and doesn't hold back...good woman!" I'm glad to hear that you see me that way (and I hope others do to). I have always tried to let people know where I stand with them (and with everything). It's hard to do, because you will eventually make somebody mad at me. But, on the other side, I feel that my friends are my friends because of the real me. Wiccan, eh? I descended from witches (Mary Este a

FL, my desk is cleaner now. I have a *much* smaller monitor than then.............It's still messy, though.... jebland, I *love* the Monte Carlo. It has a real sporty feel to it, and it gets fairly good mileage (which matters since I live 55 miles from work). I have the SS, which I would recommend over the kinda' doggy LS. It is *not* a small car. It's bigger than my old Lumina and really fills up my half of the 2 1/2 car garage. I also got the leather option with heated seats, wh

FL-"Ah, you have a lava lamp on your desk - wouldn't you be happier with a plant instead?" I have a plant, too. And a plastic Iguana eating an elk, and a bobbing head armadillo, and...well....some other odd stuff. I should bring my camera in to work one of these days and take a picture of my desk. It's an interesting place! The best part of the lava lamp is the top. It was either broken or missing (can't remember) so my daughter and I made one for it out of papier-mache (use

kona0197, why would anyone yell at you for using Litestep? Trust me, Stardock does not have a problem with different skinning programs (why would we have libraries for them on WC if we did?) The only "skinning" program that we have an issue with is StyleXP because it hacks a system dll (one that is Microsoft supplied and can change with each SP). We don't like talk of "Kazaa" and "Cracks" because we do not support illegal file sharing (because, well, we like to pay our bills and if ev

I would suspect that they have the picture, and literally painted over it, either with paint (which is what I learned) or in something like photoshop (which you can find a ton of on Deviant Art). It's still a cool effect, and they most likely had to take the picture (unless they "borrowed"it) so there is still a lot of talent involved either way.

Green_Armani, I learned some of the tricks of that while in Photography school, so that is why I think they are paint overs. Was harder to do before computers, but not so hard anymore. It is a nice effect for portraits, though. Some people want a "painted" portrait, but don't want to pay the high price tag. So, that is a nice option.

/me finally brought a lava lamp in for her desk at work. It is pink liquid with white "lava". /me blushes! It appears that my swimsuit has totally dissolved in the coffee!! Good thing Feline is waiting by the lake with some melted chocolate for me to roll in. hmmm...all this swimming made me tired, and the rolling in chocolate made me dizzy....so I think I will curl up by Feline and take a nap.... *yawn*

Green_Armani, I think that "Schmoopy" likes to paint photos. I've seen a lot of "art" like that. Looks too close to a photo (except for some of the obviously painted backgrounds). Maybe Schmoopy is Shmoopy's dark side. Afterall, one of the paintings is called "Fuzzy" <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smile

Reply to ADMINS!! my x-box cursor in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Styl, just so you know, I compared yours to copperdeck when it was put back in moderation, and, though it has the same style as copperdeck, the graphics are very different. I believe that the style of it is what made the admins think that it was a rip. I am running your cursor set right now.
