Reply to logon studio in Tutorials WinCustomize Forums

I don't really quite understand what you are asking. Are you talking about trying to get your old LogonXP skins to work with the new LogonStudio for XP/Vista/Win7? If so, the answer is you can't really. Other than to pull the 100.bmp image out, rename it, put it in the appropriate folder, and use it as a background. All the other skinning on the screen (user name sections, etc) isn't done in the new version, it just loads the main background image.

Didn't see anything telling me not to do that. It will check your plugins etc, disable and tell you which ones aren't compatible anymore just like FireFox did.

I believe you need to have SoundPackager installed. If you do, then double-clicking on the .soundpack file should do it.

Don't forget to check the heatsinks, especially that pesky little one sitting on the graphics card/chipset. Those suckers get plugged up and they will get hot.

Oh just delete it and move on. They don't deserve any more attention or energy than just clicking on the delete button, and all at once at that. Feathers in the wind.

Have you seen the WB7 Config / Settings Tab / (next) Settings Tab options? Down at the bottom of that popup window are global titlebar clicking options you can define for all skins, e.g. "Rollup/Down", "Set always on top". That ought to take care of the thumb-tacking. edit: Guess we were both pretty much going the same place at the same time [e digicons]:)[/e]

Thanks for the update [e digicons]:)[/e] WinXPHomeSP3- Flickering does seem to be fixed, thanks, that helps a lot. Opera is indeed now showing on web page, thanks.

Not trying to make this a bug thread but since I was just praising Opera's cookie management I now feel obligated to throw this out here: "Quirk"- Opera's "Delete all cookies upon exit" (with or without specific site exceptions) seems to be reliable only if you use the Menu/Exit command to exit the browser. Using the upper right corner standard Windows "Close" button seems to have an annoying tendency to leave the cookies in place (but not all the time). Again that

(One of the little compatibility issues is not letting me quote at the moment) Uvah lets see if I can do this without offing myself - To set up an exception to the "Delete cookies on exit" rule: 1. Set it to delete all on exit (looks like you found that) 2. Go to a site you're wanting to keep the cookies on 3. Menu/Settings/Preferences/Advanced/Content click on "Manage Site Preferences" button towards the bottom 4. DoubleClick on the site you want t

Based on everybody's remarks it does seem like the different browsers run different speed-wise on different machines. Somebody smarter than me might know the answer to that [e digicons]:drool:[/e] The features I really like on Opera that I like that I don't see on FF4 are a) Running the tabs down the side instead of just across the top and b) being able to delete all cookies upon exit except for certain sites which I can specify.
