Unfortunately Jesh, the majority of people (myself included) find arrogance (or cockiness if you prefer to put a softer edge on the concept) by those who are clearly ahead in their game to be a little offensive and downright distasteful. We all know you're good at what you do, so there's really no need to keep stating the fact like you're some modern-day Mohammed Ali. Your constant boasting does nothing to strengthen your image, but rather creates a rift between you and the rest of the skinning

Unfortunately this doesn't seem to work with video player apps. I'm not really surprised, as it would have to handle the overlay drawing functions that these apps use, but I still felt a bit of a let down when I tried to tile a movie player and see the movie continue to play in its shrunk state. What actually happens at the moment is the movie player window shrinks down, but the overlay is left at its original size and position on the screen.

Also, you'll usually find that these companies only provide images specifically for creating 'fan sites', and not for any other use. You would therefore need to get their written permission to use the images in a way other than explicitly specified. [Message Edited]

Reply to If another site takes my subscriptions (wallpaper) in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

As I've said before Asphyxiation, it's not the tools which make the artist, it's the ability. Concentrate less on getting the high-powered up-to-date tools, and more on improving your techniques and ideas using the tools you're already comfortable with. Once you reach a certain level of ability, then you can start experimenting with other tools. Otherwise, the temptation is there to just use endless filters and built-in eff

IMPORTANT! Re: Wallpaper rejections in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Much of this message board is becoming redundant. Almost a month ago I posted a thread about skin requests and their various evils in an attempt to cull a lot of the repetition and cloggin up of the board with almost identical threads. It seemed to work to some extent, although we still get the requests for Barbie and Chevvy Chase skins on almost a daily basis. Now it's time to deal with a second pet hate I have on these boards - the multitude of people complaining about their wallpaper

If there's one thing I can't stand more than bad spelling and internet acronyms, it's a person ending every single sentence with the word 'peace'. Peace.

I started to correct all sorts of other spelling mistakes too, but I ran out of space and patience. How I long for the days when a dictionary was used for more than just looking up the rude words. /me has quite possibly had a bad day, and therefore might be in a slightly cranky mood As for graphics programs, I'd suggest Photoshop or Fireworks. Remember though that it's not the tools which make the artist, but the talent he possesses. Using a decent tool alone isn't going to aid

Nice way to make a living £2 million for 30 minutes :o You don't think he actually works for 30 minutes and goes home, do you? I agree that £2 million is an extortionate amount to pay someone, but he's good at what he does and therefore deserves to get what he

'Angel' gets cancelled. in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

After 5 seasons, it looks like 'Angel' has followed its parent show 'Buffy' into the great abyss. In a statement just released from The WB, they say that the current season will be the last. This move drives a stake through the heart of the final remaining part of Joss Whedon's 'Buffyverse', and will come as a huge shock to its many fans. As someone who has unashamedly followed both shows since the beginning, I find this a really sad move on the part of the network. With this news comin

I learnt to skin from you essorant, so you're the true master. I'm merely an obsessive compulsive for the details. It's just the 'getting started' that's difficult for me. Anyway, I do have my Britney Spears skin all ready and waiting... <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/bigsmile.gif" bo
