very likely, you need to sort through them. the all user programs are ones that display for everybody, the ones in your user folder only display for you. You probably have programs that are only yours, and there are most likely lots of programs in the allusers that aren't in yours. In the normal start menu these two folders are sorted, but I don't think desktopx has this ability to sort them.

you probably have programs listed in both your start menu/programs folder and the allusers /start menu/programs folder. Since it most likely uses these as a basis for your programs in the list it looks at both and adds all of both. if you have 2 entrances of a program (1 in 1 folder and 1 in the other folder) delete one of the instances and it should go away.

I have a p4 2.4 (a little better than yours), but you have more memory, and a better graphics card (mine is a mobility radeon 7500 w/ 32 megs). I have never experienced a problem with dx and my cpu. I would run a spybot and an antivirus to make sure you have nothing hiding in there to cause services.exe to do run with that much cpu. Mine runs at around 0 cpu doing nothing, and sometimes jumps to 5%. Reasonably unless you are doing something your cpu should hardly be working. Normally my cpu

I used photoshop 7 once at a friend's and it didn't show the transparency it just showed black. the transparency was in the alpha channel. maybe you are seeing pngs, or psds not the actual tga. whenever I have opened a tga in any graphic editor I have always not seen transparency, but instead usually a solid color (most often black) with the transparency in the alpha channel. Maybe its just me.

true type fonts are vectors I think. and yes vector is what the gui should be made of next. when the pixels get so small you can't see them, you will be able to size a vector to any size on the monitor and it should look sharp. small or big.

actually you can trick your mind because it makes objects appear 3d because you have two eyes. they both see slightly different things, and your mind merges them to form 1 semi-3d visualization of the world. The goggles for 3d simulators work on this factor, and so do the 3d pictures and glasses (red/blue and the such). I don't know how you could emulate this on a flat screen but supposed sharp has: http://zdnet.com.com/2100-1103-978499.html

uis1 is the quicker, but it is harder to skin, and has less things. I believe there is an option to convert a uis2 to uis1 in the file menu. I am not sure if you can include both. Once you have converted the uis2 to uis1 you will probably need to edit the uis1 to get it to look right. My suggestion is to just start with one or the other and stick with that one.

my biggest problem with using tgas in most image editors is that you cannot actually see the transparency, so often I got a halo around the object. When I started using png i never had to worry about the halo effect.

First of all the people here are generally nice, and you are taking this the wrong way. I for one don't like either WINDOWBLIND because they are both clunky to me. While you might have made the graphics. in my opinion the guy who made pearlblue did not use them affectively. you allowed your name to be attached to it, so you to will feel the reprecussions from this. you didn't have to let the guy upload it. Your graphics are a-ok. The way they were used in the windowblind weren't in my opi

I concur that the pearl blue is a rip. the buttons on the taskbar are the same, but recolored slightly for one. The good parts of the skin came from the original and what looks to be original on pearlblue doesn't look as good. Quite frankly I don't like either so I should be somewhat unbiased.
