Reply to Adobe to acquire Macromedia in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Heh, the teacher who taught me Quark used to point out all the things that Quark could do that InDesign couldn't. And the other way around too, but no doubt that she liked Quark better. At work, we're doing a 1600 page thick book once a year for a large company. At first we used Quark, but changed to InDesign which has reduced the amount of time we spend on it. Mainly because of silly things like adding shadows under pictures that Quark really

If you ask me, Adobe already killed quark, it's just a matter of time till the rest of the businesses finally admit it and adopt it. Never! I'm still addicted to Quark... Although InDesign is gaining market rapidly. Especially advertising agencies seem to like it. I do like to do layouts in InDesign bec

Adobe to acquire Macromedia in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Seems like Adobe is to acquire Macromedia. I could imagine Flash being one of the main reasons. What this means imo, is less competition on professional graphics software, and possibly the death or a merging of existing Macromedia products. What's next? Will Adobe acquire QuarkXPress too, and kill all competition?

The titlebar buttons on 6070b and 6070 are tga's with an alpha blended shadow, so my best bet would be that you need either WB 4.5 or WB 4.5 AND Windows XP to have it shown properly.

There are already a bunch of font sites out there. Besides, you just don't make a font and share it 5 minutes after. You have to design it, add every character (yes, also those weird ones in other languages), set the kerning, test it, correct errors, test it again etc. I haven't had the time to make a font yet, but I have considered it.

Reply to TGA files just not doing it, nor import to tga from png. in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

The problem people are experiencing with TGA's came along with Photoshop CS (8). In PS7 TGA's and PNG's would behave the same way in PS, meaning they'd both have transparent backgrounds and the transparent and semitransparent pixels would show up in SkS as that. But Adobe wanted that to change of some reason and the way you work with TGA's in CS is a little different now. TGA's in PS CS don't behave like PNG's, they can't have transparent backgrounds l

Reply to IE has all webpage's bkgrds the same color in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

I think you'd have to edit one of the classic colors in the skin in SkinStudio. Probably Background - Window, since that's most likely to change that color. I don't think the skins are at fault here, although you can fix it by editing the skin. The thing is that not all websites has a bg color defined in html, so the browser will just use the window background instead. At least, that's my guess.

I think he means that he got a .zip instead of a .logonxp. He extracted that and saw all the files that makes the logon, and don't know what to do with them. Tell him it's XP SP2 that does that, and he needs to rename the .zip to .logonxp and of course have LogonStudio installed Then everything should be fine.

Reply to Drawing pad in Color WinCustomize Forums

I have a Wacom Graphire 2. I use it instead of my mouse (that's for gaming). It's not that different from a mouse, except I find it a lot faster, and more precise than a mouse. In fact, when I use a mouse nowadays, I feel kind of handicapped since I've grown so attached to my Wacom board. I don't think it necessarily can improve your skinning, but I think it's a lot better to work with than a mouse. It's just another form of mouse, another tool to use
