[quote] My eight year old came up to me last month. She says: "Dad, I need some money." In my mind I'm pretty upset. My wife and I don't use credit and we've tried to instill in our kids that hard work reaps success . . and here I am about to go off on my beautiful daughter because somewhere I have failed. I'm really more upset with myself. She continues, "So are there any chores I can do around the house to earn it?" I took her out for ice-cream before I found some wo

Reply to Oops, now why doesn't that work? in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

One of the things I do when my company is about to install a new device into someone's network is to determine their infrastructure; peer to peer, server/client, Operating Systems, type of Internet access ... that sort of thing. While many of the companies we deal with are large enough to have their own IT staff who can give me all the info I need quickly, some of the companies we deal with are very small; have no IT staff or support and know very little to almost nothing about computer

Ainde, I get the impression you're not familiar with the command line and/or file structure. It would probably be best if you don't try to do this without a basic understanding of how it works or what you are doing. Sorry, I can't help more, but you could easily mess up your system if you resort to trial and error ... it would be the error part that would be the problem ;)

[quote]Nothing I do seems to have any effect.[/quote] You can disable them in SKS5; works for me ;) I haven't been able to get them disabled in SKS6 either. And there is no support for Fonts for Classic Widgets. Personally, I'm looking forward to a SKS6 that does everything SKS5 can do and much more. Until then, I'll do the majority of work in SKS6 and I'll keep SKS5 for those bits SKS6 won't yet do. Yes, I know SKS5 can 'break' a skin made in SKS6

[quote]i don't understand the instructions to extract the files, can u explain it? and yes, i have windowsblinds.[/quote] Steps 1 -6 are pretty simple, just do as they say. The command line part is harder. Download the file ZuneDesktopTheme.msi at the link Zubaz gave. Save it to a folder of your choice. Remember that location. Maybe you can put it in C:\temp to make it easy. Make this folder if it is not already present on your PC. When you perform steps 1 - 6 you will

Reply to IconPackager v4.0 Release Support Thread in IconPackager WinCustomize Forums

According to the Panic Button page, changing individual icons in IP4 is still a known issue and and is still being worked on by the developers. For some of us, no amount of uninstalling, reinstalling, etc, etc. does any good. They will have the fix out as soon as possible. As far as 4.00.168, it has been noted by one of the Support people that it is a 'restaged' release ... don't have a clue what that means :LOL: ... but I'm guessing it ain't the fix. ;)

[quote]Once given a starting rating by the mods,it can't go below that,but ratings can make it go up or back down to that level.[/quote] I don't necessarily think it is a bad thing for user ratings to ultimately push the rating lower than the original mod rating ... assuming there is no malice involved and I think the mods can take care of those cases as they already have been. I do think if a submission is given a rating high enough by the mods to put it in the public vie

That value may need to be adjusted for various resolutions; I haven't had anyone test this skin I'm working on yet. Not exactly elegant, but it worked ;)
