I wonder what happened to Doodle, his website went away. And Jigit, I really miss his wallpapers. And Lorenla, Joy Senn, Grimspoon, Migellito, Pabo, Shoggot, Roach, etc etc... dispersed into the shadows I guess... There's always this http://www.angelfire.com/nj2/mttraulsen/Pictureland.html to feed the nostalgia.
paxx - you mean Gamma? She was at DA for a while and I see her on ICQ sometimes, she used to be at #skinnerz (or whatever it is).
There's a lot of people missing... some of them were at DA for awhile but before I quit going there I noticed they'd disappeared from that site too. A reunion is a great idea, it's been a couple years now since skinz evaporated.

I'm amazed there's a decent laser printer for under $300.
If you installed WB4 it should have made a file association to .WBA files. When you download a skin, save it to the desktop and then double-click it, that will install the skin. You can then load the skin from the Display Properties dialog.
hehe... good one Jafo (an inside joke unfortunately)
Quick Draw stikes again... I was deleting it and it was already deleted...
Travelers on a living spaceship, humans continue to live like cowboys on an open frontier — living out an old story in a new era. In deep denial and captive to the imperatives of global corporations and financial markets that value money more than life, those who hold positions of institutional power remain resolutely committed to policies that enrich themselves, but impoverish people, community, and planet. To create a world that works for all, public policy must give priority not to aggregate
Smart Button I'd like to see: a Volume Control. Maybe just a popup slider with a checkbox for Mute.
Explorer Toolbar background currently stretches vertically across multiple rows of toolbar buttons. Maybe there could be an option to set the image to repeat for each row instead of stretching across them.
Would be nice if combo-box borders could be 3 pixels instead of 2... (like the new text-box borders)
Maybe add an image (or at least a color setting) for the little arrows on menu items with fly-outs. Right now they seem to be a text item and the color is not changeable. Changing the color would be nice but an image with a mouse-over state would be even better.
oh and another - the "throbber" in explorer windows, can that be added to the UIS format? I know the one in IE gets skinned by WebBlinds but I mean the one in an explorer window. It's not animated - I think it's only one image.
WB4 is awesome. You guys did a great job getting everything skinned. If it's possible, make the user name text position fixed so on a domain without a user icon it still aligns from the same laft margin. Make the mouse-over text color seting work for menu backgrounds on the programs list and 'special' menus where there are icons in the list. Bring back the explorer backgrounds and
Then make a different image for the quicklaunch buttons, or the taskbar buttons, whichever one isn't getting what you want... or maybe I'm not understanding the problem.
This reminds me that it would be nice to re-do the Desktopx Library into two seperate sections, Themes and Objects. Would this apply to the Object Dock library also now?
well... I went and looked at the UIS2 reference guide and it figures, I got it wrong. I remember now what I used it for, it was the system icon. In the reference guide where it lists the button alignment codes that one has an asterisk. At the bottom of the list you'll see this: * These styles do not permit the button to be pressed in so that button can only be an image.
I think that button alignment (left edge of title) is only for the system menu (#11 I think). I know I used it for that once but I don't remember if you could put any other button function there.
Do you have seperate images for taskbar and quicklaunch buttons? Did you get the path statement right for each section? maybe the filename in the image path is the wrong one...
And there's "Delicatessen" too... Joe - it's actually the phone company that runs the world... that was disclosed in a movie called "Our Man Flint". hehe - "Who ever produces electiciy holds the power" pun intentional I assume?
Isn't that how they make all that pork sausage? I think it was in a movie called "The Ballad of Wotan Rchychevsky".
wabbit season!
Happy Easter! wabbit season...
btw - there's a way to change the behavior of Windowblinds downloads so it always asks to save it (defaulting to the desktop) rather than just automatically sticking it in some invisible spot. In any explorer window on the menu open "Tools/Folder Options" click on the "File Types" tab wait while it populates.... ... ... scroll down to .WBA, select it, click on the "advanced" button and put a check in the box for "confirm after download". Now when you click on a
btw - this problem only occurs with Windowblinds downloads because of the association with .wba files. It tries to download and install automatically from a temp directory but it doesn't always work. You can save the file anywhere you want, I suggested the dektop cause it's easier to delete the file after adding it.
