didn't work. I also am unable to rate skins when using IE7. However, I can do both when using safari which has different security settings, so, let's try this from a different perspective. are subscriber only skins and rating privilages accessed via wincustomize.com? are cookies delivered via wincustomize.com? do either of these two privilages require the use of flash? just to mention. I have to use safari to upload skins as I believe that my security

I've attempted to download a blind from the subscriber only area but nothing happened. the page shows my subscriber information and expiration date and time (to the second no less) but won't let me download. NO impulse, NO flash and NO third party cookies allowed in this browser set-up.

after reading all of the instructions and hoops that this poor guy has to go through (download this, download that, clean this, delete that, do this, don't do that) it shouldn't be a wonder why the cynicism in me sometime comes out to play. At least no one suggested that he/she reformat their hard drive.[e digicons]:grin:[/e] mjkny, welcome to the community.

ratings - what's the trick in Stardock Support General WinCustomize Forums

the ratings thingee. with IE7 I get the drop down but clicking on anything results in a "no response". figuring it could be a cookie thing I switched over to safari but that check indicates that I'm not a subscriber even though my bio indicates otherwise. AND, when I looked at the subsciption blah-blah it stated many great things but I'm not sure I found any info on when or how. Where can I read HOW/WHEN those subscription benifits happen.

I was actually referring to the movie but,,, I'm going to go on the side of legalization. Pot and it's derivatives (THC, hash, hash oil, keefe, etc.) are no worse than booze or tabacco and of the three, probably less harmful. Hard core drugs should remain hardcore with the exception of "E" which would be better served if sold over the counter... [e digicons]:omg:[/e] [e digicons]:-"[/e]

uploading name changed blinds in Stardock Support General WinCustomize Forums

Okay, so I made a blind and called it "whatever". when I was finished I decided to change the name to "awesome blind". My attempt to do this was to copy the blind via the SKS6 interface which got my blind rejected as it now contained "whatever" and "awesome blind" files. the note from WC was, Will not install properly. The reason for this is that the .wba contains multiple '.uis' files. (aluminex.uis, base.uis~ and alimunex.uis~) Rename

PSP7 layering question in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

Is it possible to merge several alpha layers into one in PSP7. example: to use the word "start" in the start menu. as a single image with one alpha channel it looks great. but with five images creating a usable alpha seems almost impossible. I can create five seperate alpha channels but when saved as a png, it only saves one. I've attempted contracting and feathering with unsatisfactory results. anyhow, thoughts, suggestions appreciated

changing a screen shot in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

I believe that if I want to change the screen shot of a few blinds, that I feel I short changed in that area, that the blinds will be resubmitted as a package and listed as "updated" and back on page 1. Personnaly I just want to change the screen shot and not resubmit the blinds as "updated" as they really arn't. anyhow, the bottom line is that I would like to change a few screenshots without moving the blinds to the top of the heap, is there a way to do this???

Reply to Animated start menu in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

I believe that what your asking is if there is a way to sort blinds if they have an animated start menu. I'm not aware of any such ability and unless the author indicates an animated start menu on their screenshot, one would only know by checking it out or reading the reviews.
