Reply to THE ICE IS BROKEN! in Community WinCustomize Forums

The skin has been removed for public viewing for the time being. Hippy suggested when the contest was announced that the skinners name was hidden until the contest was over, so more people could participate and not be intimidated by the reputition of well known skinners who was entering. I reminded }SkOrPn--' who removed it from public viewing. It might show up soon, if they figure out how to hide the skinners name and leave the skin up for viewing.</f

Anybody remember hearing of "Marklar"? Rumors said that the first release of OSX was also compiled for x86 under the codename Marklar (South Park anyone?). This seems to verify this rumor. Here's an old link i found: http://www.letterneversent.com/index.php/archives/2002/08/31/project-marklar-osx-for-pcs/

Reply to 10 years at Stardock in Internet WinCustomize Forums

It's funny how you just fit in some places. I've been working for the same company for 8 years now, but only 4 of them as a graphic designer. I've seen it grow to more than twice the size than what it was when I started there (we were 40 when I started and we're just about 100 now) and we also moved to bigger locations which we are about to make even bigger with building a new warehouse and perhaps purchasing the building next to us. There have been up

Well, it's not like there's only three Ks, so I think you're reaching. Exactly, when I made the large preview I made sure of that. I didn't want people to think of me as the result of 5 generations inbreed. Thanks for the comments guys <img src="http://images.stardock.com/wc/smiles/Cool.gif" b

Reply to Haven't we "Over Burden" Our Skinners in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Making a good WB NOW can take much longer than this. Yes it can . But that's not always how it is. I managed to make a semi decent skin in a week. Minus toolbar icons and progress animations though. But they don't have to take long to make. I don't think of it as a burden. The more we're

Reply to Adding the plus and minus to a dock instead of question marks in ObjectDock WinCustomize Forums

In your ObjectDock installation folder, i.e. C:\Program Files\Stardock\ObjectDock\ two png images must reside called minus.png and plus.png. If they are there, they should show automatically. You can define them in a theme ini file though, by adding these lines: [Extras] PlusImage = Backgrounds/6070b Tabs/6070b_plus.png MinusImage = Backgrounds/6070b Tabs/6070b_minus.png

Reply to Does Apple get away with things Microsoft could not? in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

I just spoke with a colleague of mine, a Mac user through more than 15 years. He says he has every OSX box at home: 10.0 - 10.1 - 10.2 - 10.3 and now 10.4. Not in one of them is iLife included, they never did include it according to him. If you buy a Mac with the OS pre-installed, you are most likely to have iLife installed though.

Reply to New WindowBlinds Skinning Contest at PlanetAMD64 in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

I asked at the forums over at PlanetAMD because that confused me as well, I got this answer from }SkOrPn--': 'All skins submitted become the property of PlanetAMD64. Authors will retain ownership of the designs with rights to re-distribute themselves but the submitted skins stay with us. This just means we get exclusive rights to allow users to download these skins from our site from here on out.'

Reply to Apple© iPod© or Creative© Zen© Micro? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I have an iRiver H-120. Black, chrome and shiny preciouss player with an amazing sound quality. I can save my playlist from Winamp and use that in the player. I don't need any app to synchronize it (like the iPod) and it's capable of playing an array of audio formats. It has built in FM tuner and recorder, which the iPod also lacks. Once it's worn out, I'm probably gonna get a H-10 instead which you might want to compare to the players you men

Reply to What happened to all the skinners? Anything new in the works? in Community WinCustomize Forums

I'm putting a huge complete suite together. Problem is I wasn't satisfied with it when I started it back in 2004 New versions of WB have seen the day since then, so I've remade the WB skin 3 times with new graphics, remade the cursors once, gonna remake the wallpaper and thereby also the logons and bootskin. Then I will begin making the extras like Sysmetrix
