Meh, sounds to me like just another case of the wrong person in a job. Nothing new there, unfortunately.

I have no idea what rational could be behind that, even if they all came out flawlessly. It seems rather pointless really, kind of like constantly re-arranging the office furniture.

Reply to So What's with The Depicting Of Obese Women At Devart Lately? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

A large population providing content relatively freely. Odds are the majority of it isn't going to appeal to any particular individual. The trick with graphics is it's more "In Your Face" than say music. (Pretty safe bet that if a person goes to a major music site and just starts randomly listening to samples it will quickly become tedious.) When the "mental filtering" outweighs the rewards, well you just try something else.

[quote who="pieterallaer" reply="8" id="3728316"] new subscription in order to download [/quote] If you have kept your installers (the .exe's) that you downloaded while active you can still install them and use the activation key. The "one year subscription" refers to how long you can access the files to download, how long you can download updates, and how long you have access to betas.

I'm hoping to show Jorge what's going on. White window syscolor and different Explorer background colors. I'd say Winstep is working as intended, using the window syscolor instead of trying to chase the Explorer images or colors (but that's up to him).

Are you still using Foobar? You can configure its library to pull/sort by title, if that's all you're wanting to do. At least I think I had to build it, it was a while ago.

[e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e] That's a really handy little trick to know. You can also use the /s and /b switches (dir /s /b >Filename.txt) to get the lists of files within subdirectories - which you certainly do not want to do here. That's great for music listings for example, if you have an annoying tendency to remember song titles but forget who did them. It's a different output layout but you can still sort through it pretty easily.

You could use the Command Prompt to print the WB skins directory to a text file if you like. Use the fixed column option in Excel when importing. You'd have to clean it up (delete some unwanted listings) but shouldn't be too difficult. Creates a text file named "WBList.txt" in the WindowBlinds directory: c: cd c:\users\public\documents\stardock\windowblinds dir >WBList.txt

The message from your link - “You already have Microsoft Edge – the safer, faster browser for Windows 10” - strikes me as merely (unwanted in my case) marketing. Wouldn't really call it a warning. It'll probably get them some extra Edge users - some people will believe whatever you throw in front of them. I can't really see them arbitrarily uninstalling currently patched Chrome or Firefox, seems like that would be crossing "The Line." Never hur
