Directory Opus ( explorer replacement ), Snagit to name but two . I haven't re-installed IP yet so don't know if this is still the case ( I'm not going to re-install either until I'm absolutely sure it's fixed - had to re-install windows to get rid of problems ) .

[QUOTE]Mind you I didn't see any links to WC on Firefox's page, and it got added to the library the 1st time it was asked for.[ENDQUOTE] Exactly . And let's face it : the amount of skins produced for Firefox thusfar on WC isn't exactly enormous as well . There are a lot more skins for Trillian 2+ on Deviantart as well .I don't understand how WC can ask this question about goodies for all the seperate messengers out there while we have Trillia

Reply to Half-Life 2 is out... in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

ok , which game ( similar to HL2 and Doom3) would you say is absolute tops ?? I'm considering buying one of these but am not all that certain yet as to which . Online play would be required though ( I think the longevity of these games is based on the online playing and the modding ) . I tried Soldier of fortune II a couple of years back ,but was highly disappointed with that one . Also have Rainbow Six III,Raven shield , like that one but it's buggy .

Also : these days it seems Games are produced for the sole reason of pushing sales up ( classy graphics don't make a good game ) . BAck in the "old " days - talking about CBM 64, Spectrum , Amiga days - developers had very little memory and CPU ( and other hardware ) to work with so they had to be very creative indeed . These days - with the advent of incredibly sophisticated hardware - they can opt to produce very attractive graphics with little or no

Reply to Apple: Glass houses alert! in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Don't forget the whole concept of "windows " as presented by Microsoft was a blatant rip-off as well . I think it's about time the Apple vs. Microsoft debate ended . I personally think that both OSX and Windows have equal value and it's sad this debate keeps going on .As for the marketing tactics : both companies always base their strategy on the "we are better than the others " - marketing concept . Have done so for years , so it comes as no surprise Apple used this same tactic yet again .

Reply to Universe Metal 2004: It's out now! in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

one question : is this skin-suite completely win 2k compatible ??? I'm seeing a tendency nowadays to make skins compatible with xp-only , prime example being NOT to skin the start-button in win2k at all. I'd consider buying this suite if I knew for certain it would basically work on both my OS ( 2000 and xp), not just the one.

Reply to GUI Olympics 2004 concepts solidifying in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Is there a possibility either to stipulate that the Windowblinds-skins must be Windows 2000 compatible or , if they are not , to make a seperate section for users NOT using windows xp ?? Other then that: great idea . The last GUI-olympics had some stunning winners if I remember correctly . Any idea yet on which mp3-player will be the one going to be skinned ??

well done...the whole idea of persecuting Kazaa and even Kazaa-users is totally ridiculous and pointless...do they really think piracy or copying will stop if Kazaa is finished ?? No way ...if nothing else there's always newsgroups <

Reply to Does copy protection create software pirates? in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

It's the same story all over again We had this debate when audio-tape was introduced and we had it when video-tape was...in both those cases the problem was solved by adding to the price of the blank media , a very elegant solution in my opinion.I think making a copy for personal use should be perfectly legal and in no way should be prevented by the producer of the software ( be it a game or application ).
