[quote]I was reading comments on Slashdot and it was apparent that most of them didn’t read the article. They assumed it was all because of “cheap labor”. [/quote] I worked for a company that represented the majority of major players in the aerospace community (Boeing, Rolls Royce, Pratt Whitney, Air Bus, Goodyear, G.E., etc.) Outsourcing has always been about money and how to reduce the cost of the end product.

I have gone through this post and hopefully have pulled all of the relevant data and pictures. I'll start to sort through it during the week. just wanted to provide an update and to let you all know that I have not forgotten.
just thinking out loud: you could remove the icon from the upper left hand corner, make that center graphic into a button and place the button where the icon used to be.

[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="196" id="3058767"]maybe the current form isn't really conducive to a Wiki post... I think maybe a Master should cull the posts to just a Po' comment then answer/s format...[/quote] I'm letting myself be overwhelmed for the moment and looking at the scope of the projects. maybe I heard incorrectly but I thought this was going to be a wiki tutorial. however, there are aspects of hints and tips stated that would be welcome in the sks help tutorials
just a wiki thought, we're at 8 pages and counting, possibly start a new thread when these sections are complete. it will be a lot easier to sort through the comments.
[quote who="neone6" reply="153" id="3058053"]Ditch the expanded startmenue alltogether. It´s a nuisance and it´s fugly[/quote] that's a pretty broad statement. I don't care a lot for the left side but the right side has it's uses and sparkles up the experience. but it is an optional graphic and not required for form, fit or function.
[quote who="PoSmedley" reply="135" id="3057796"]Do I need to skin the expanded panel for when you hover over FF for example and it shows you your recent visits?[/quote] just my opinion but if you can skin it then... [quote who="PoSmedley" reply="135" id="3057796"]Do I need to skin the background for the All Programs or do I just select a color when I get to it in SKS?[/quote] I'd make my own Po. You can make something really light that just gives a hint of mouseove
I'm taking most of the graphic shots from this thread so far. I might need some idea of what is wanted to be placed into the wiki. lot of info to sort through here, make a note to the "wiki note:" would be helpful.
[quote who="PoSmedley" reply="115" id="3057669"]Tell me about the search window. I've had issues with that as far as skinning.[/quote] for me at least, if I skin the search window from the "edit vista/7 explorer parts", "search field background" it eliminates the need to do the start menu graphic and provides better results.

wiki, did someone mention wiki??? I can do that.
PO, even though that's not quite my style, I can appreciate the technique. It would make an interesting base and I can picture this being carried over to the frames, taskbar and such. awesome Kitty. Is that good for nuthin boy friend of yours working on anything or is he just sluffing. [e digicons]:-"[/e] Cyndie and Ace looking good.
I just added those pages that I want to visit to my favorites. Now I have five links to the forum whereas before I had one.
nice stuff people, thanks for posting/sharing.
Just an excuse... I'm working on something that I think is turning out quite nice, nice enough to share and wondered what the heck are you all are doing. Like to see what else is out there.
had that happen to me when I was 6 years old, almost died. I feel for you, get well soon.
[quote who="2of3" reply="85" id="3055184"]This is the GUIC.....not us and them.[/quote] more of a, "why enter when I'm up against master skinners". this way at least, I might get an honorable mention.
better yet, break into two divisions. master skinners and everyone else. master skinners have a certain level to maintain and should be reviewed accordingly. the rest of us usually only skin to the OS's that we have and that would probably be win7???
I for one would just like to know if there is some goal or desired end result to the forum mix. Just a SWAG on my part but it doesn't seem that this is going over well with most of the skinning community.

well, I finally was able to retire my old mouse pointer (svelte by theAVMAN) for this one. really, really nice. just saying: be really cool if the basic pointer reversed direction. thanks Harley.
I agree with the above.
we also a similar situation however updating the firmware solved our issue.
