Does it change the desktop background at that point? Or is it only in the weather portal that these changes occur?

the point of it is that it takes care of those things I understand that, and I also realise it's early days yet but still... Antartica? In Sydney (Australia!) ? It'd be nice to be able to define a subset or pool of backgrounds that will get used. Also is there a way to reposition the weather portal or is it hard coded to top right corner

On of my colleagues just had to have it so it's now installed on his PC. What are the available features of this build? It seems a little limited right now, i.e no obvious options for customising the wallpaper etc. We're in Sydney Austalia and it's displaying a scene reminiscent of Antartica! Sure it's just out of winter here, but it's not that cold! (unless you're in Melbourne maybe <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/jokegrim.gif" border=0 ALIGN="absm

Reply to When is advocacy not marketing? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Re: your thread title, IMHO the only time advocacy can be 'honestly' (loosely speaking) seen as not marketing is when the advocate has no material gain in advocating the product. I feel for Brad because I genuinely believe he is inspired, thrilled, excited etc by the whole skinning (and productivity) thing.

Reply to Virtua Memory too low in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

It depends on things like: the amount of MB assigned to the virtual memory compared to your RAM, whether you lock it down (i.e don't let Windows manage it), which drive/partition you keep the swap file on, probably others that I've forgot to include Adjust & benchmark if you're really keen to get the utmost out of it! <A HREF="https://www.wincustomize.com/inde
