[quote]That's pretty much it. They are similar to the blending of layers in Photoshop.[/quote] I can see some interesting uses for this but am not quite certain what all of the blend modes actually mean. Are all of these terms from Photoshop? Is there somewhere to find the geek translations? thanks Cyndie. ANYONE: if anyone is willing to provide the definitions of those blend modes (what is SCR ATOP and it does what) I'll put them on the wiki.

after looking at that function and the one next to it, I feel like such a nob. which brings up my one big gripe with SKS, lack of documentation to understand what all of that is exactly about. it appears to be a layer function similiar to that encountered when making a graphic but... if anyone chooses to take the time to break the layering process down and provide definitions of the layering modes I'd be happy to convert into a wiki page. any takers?

Question: if a value, under "extra settings", i

Reply to Getting back into skinning in OS Customization WinCustomize Forums

[quote who="RedneckDude" reply="33" id="2808828"]I'm guessing he means getting back into the skinning side of Stardock. As in new apps, or updated old apps. At least I hope that's what he means. We need a new focus. In order to use WPF and Silverlight, we need apps that will support those. Brad is talking like a coder, not a skinner. [/quote] gosh, even though I figured it out at the beginning the title is "getting back into skinning"

[quote who="RedneckDude" reply="6" id="2808151"]Not sure I completely understand what you meant gmc2, but you could save the icon, even extract it from the .exe file with icon explorer. And delete, uninstall 10, then change the icon to the icon you saved from before. [/quote] sorry, not explained adequately, in your window's browser, graphics files will show a thumbnail. psp7 will not show the thumbnail and just shows the default file icon. well, it sucks when you don't hav

[quote who="scharchuk" reply="4" id="2807614"] "Fabric Jeans"? ???? [/quote] believe it's a texture? this program used to be free and the program used by so many to be initiated into the WC family of programs. reminds me of a drug dealer saying, the first fix is on me. there should be free lite version that just changes blinds without all of the textures and stuff??? might keep more people around???

another year of no increase for SS, bummer. blame Reagan for taking out housing costs from the COLA formulas. [quote who="Island Dog" reply="1" id="2380514"]The only thing Congress needs is term limits. [/quote] I think, maybe incorrect, that some states have term limits. the states are represented in Congress ergo it is the state's responsibility to govern their representatives and set the number of terms allowed or not.

generally it seems to be updating content. you can turn it off and only do a manual update when there is a reason for you to visit the site. open impulse and click on the blue drop down menu over on the top left. you'll get this screen; check this box and you will be asked if you wish to update impulse when you open the program, just click NO if you choose not to.
