Reply to Start Menu Alpha Error in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

this is something that I am just trying out but seems to work. generally alpha channels are black and white. by using a "mask" you can include shades of gray with the black and white. saving the mask as the alpha channel should give you a level of transparency where the gray areas are, or so it seems.

Reply to new to skinning; having some issues in SkinStudio WinCustomize Forums

oh man, where to start. very few people have been able to put together a competent blind their first attempt. there are a few but not many and I sure ain't one of them. there is basic turorial help here as in the links above. and the forums are a great place to get specific answers to specific problems. most of what I learned I learned from looking at other people's skins to see how they accomplished whatever I was wanting to work on. In most cases I was able to learn throuigh trial a

Reply to Safari 4 (release version) won't work with WB in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

[quote who="mickeko" reply="6" id="2256132"] Quoting gmc2, reply 5 it never has skinned just as Itunes doesn't skin. hmm, not new news. Actually, it skinned fine before I updated the safari beta to the release version, they fixed the skinning issue (for the beta) a few versions back. I would think it's that fix that need to be removed for the release version to work. Safari doesn't use a full custom skin like itunes does.[/quote] actually lost a post h

AND I haven't cleaned up the external drive yet either. just for fyi: CPU 38C.

when I bought my computer I had asked in the forums about what components were best. I received a lot of good information and am happy with my choices. many suggessted that I build my own and save some money. I'm sure that Jafo's experience is more than typical when building one's own computer. What is your time worth, convert that time into money and add it on top of what you paid for the components to find the real cost of that computer. me, I received my computer on a Friday. I ope

Reply to defragmenting in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

stupid question time: seems that I remember (a long time ago) a defragger that claimed to remove old files and reclaim the disc space, instead of just making those files somewhat inaccessible. Are there any defraggers today that make any such claim???

[quote who="canadakiller" reply="9" id="2252612"]I'm thinking of upgrading my graphics card. I have a run-of-the-mill proc, a Core 2 Extreme X6800 (the fastest back in its day), but I hear that ARMA II doesn't like the 8800 very much, so I may upgrade to a GTX295. I have this notion that I must only upgrade to whatever is top of the line, so I can upgrade less in the future.[/quote] I think to an extent that is true however I would also think that the rest of the equipment could have

[quote]Why do people complain? What is it they want or hope for when they complain?[/quote] Sorry NT, I disagree. people complain for many different reasons, some complain just because they are pissed off about something and need to vent. venting is a healthy process which allows the mind to vocalize the perception. and no offense, but you're no Dr. Phil.

around the corners of my frames I am getting some reflection over lighter backgrounds, could this be because of the shadow or some other setting?
