ry this, right-click on the download link and select "save target as" download the skin file to your desktop and then use the "add" button in Display Properties to add the skin. Is it only one skin you're having this trouble with? If so, it's probably a problem with that skin's zip file.

In the box on the left you see a list of skin categories. Each library is a skinning format that supports a particular piece of software. The software is necessary to install the skins. At the top of each skins list there is a link to download the software.

paxx - dealing with waste is probably as big (or bigger) a problem as pollution from fossil fuels. This technology would not only solve the waste issue (even toxic waste) but make recycling a reality. (I love the bag of ground up appliances) It sounds like the plants would also reduce the need for a lot of energy production (it uses the natural gas it creates to make heat for the process) thus reducing pollution from energy production. Oil will always be a necessary resource to make pl

On this page https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.asp?wp=4&Sort=updatedate&searchtext=&Order=&library=1 you'll see three green skins. Stinger by Skinplant is an awesome suite of skins with a beautiful set of green icons and a DesktopX skin. There's a green skin from Essorant called "Silver by Essorant" and a green skin from Gabriel.

You can sort the library to only show you the skins with shell-styles support. Just check the box for shell-styles at the top of the list and click on "go". That'll give you fewer to browse through.

I found this absolutely astounding. A friend told me about this tonight at my son's house and when I got home he'd sent me a link to the original story. Wow... check this out: Anything into Oil "In an industrial park in Philadelphia sits a new machine that can change almost anything into oil. Really. "This is a solution to three of the biggest problems facing mankind," says Brian Appel, chairman and CEO of Changing World Technologies, the co

Thanks for the kind words SD. It's a real pleasure to know that people are still getting turned on to skinning with the enthusiasm and joy you seem to have. I was addicted to Windowblinds from the first time I saw it and was making skins for it shortly after. I only made skins for my own use and was always amazed when other people downloaded them. It's a truly rewarding pastime and you'll be surprised how easy WB skins are to make once you get into it. They do take a lot of time but th

ok - all the comments on Greetings USA are gone. None of them had anything to do with the art and the non-offensive ones were only referring to the offensive ones, so none were appropriate to leave. Thanks Baker and GM for pointing these out to us. If any others along a similar vein show up, let us know...

moshi - photos that are the property of the US gov't are considered public property and are ok to use. The logons themselves were indeed a simplistic and jingoistic use of those photos. However, their message was clear and it's not surprising they inspired political ranting. Most of the admins here are not from the US. Interestingly, the logons were in the queue for a long time. It seemed no one wanted to approve them but the majority of admins being from other countries, there was prob

yeah, what a week eh? I saw an article http://www.fpp.co.uk/online/03/04/Mueller150403.html that claimed the US paid off the Republican Guard and snuck the top echelon guys out of Iraq to new homes (some in the US) with huge wads of cash. The second echelon guys also got cash but were relocated within Iraq. Don't know how true it is but it would explain the lack of resistance in Baghdad. Maybe Tariq Aziz moved to Rome and opened a Pizza place near the Vatican. <img src="http://images.st

From the NYT an article by Paul Krugman that speaks of the administration's record in Afghanistan and the US: "Conquest and Neglect http://www.nytimes.com/2003/04/11/opinion/11KRUG.html "The scary thing is that this slash-and-burn approach to governing may continue to work for Mr. Bush's people because the initial triumphs get all the headlines. Unfortunately, the rest of the world has to live in the wreckage they leave behind." And before you assume the only people that feel

Usually I build a basic skin in Notepad using the new graphics which I make in Photoshop beforehand. Then I take another skin's UIS (one of my previous skins) open that in another Notepad and start copying code where it fits and just re-do any numbering or positioning variables and path statements. After I think it's safe to load it I run the skin and continue adding code and tweaking button positions and such with Notepad, re-loading the skin frequently to test it. After it's mostly f
