Reply to Anyone know how to report someone who sends viruses? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Most likely the person you're getting it from was infected by it and they had your email address in their address book.&nbsp That's how they work, infect a computer and then send itself to every email address stored on that machine. The best course is to email the person you got it from and politely let them know they have&nbspa virus that's been sent to you from their machine.&nbsp If it's actually a guy sending you a virus on purpose then you can report it to his ISP by writting to

Reply to Dx theme credits question in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

jeesh... I was busy... Your upload looks like both files, the theme and the preview were corrupted. I d the upload so you can do a fresh one. Make sure you're not putting any special characters or spaces in your file names and let the upload finish before switching the page. I got your email but I can't upload files for you, I don't have access to the database. I locked your other threa

Reply to Dx theme credits question in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

That's a tough call but I will tell you the preview image didn't come through. I can't decide what to think of your "credits" cause I can't see what the theme looks like... could you re-upload your theme with a jpg preview please ?

Reply to I am going to unistall Windowblinds! I wasted my 50 bucs! in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Duane, it would help your cause a lot if you realized something, Windowblinds is installed and running fine on millions of machines. Personally, I've been running it since 1999 non-stop, through different OS's and every imaginable configuration. I've also run all sorts of other customized shells and apps and through it all, there has often been some bug or tweak that needed attention. In that time I've felt Stardock was outstanding in addressing user issues, but you need to go where t

Reply to Finishing my GUI entries ahead of schedule? Oh Well... in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

That's really sad... I went through the same scenario 20 years ago but I had a new job in a couple days (several to choose from actually). Today it's not like that anymore, I don't want to sound negative but it's brutal out there right now. If you don't mind my asking, what business are you in and are you a company we would have heard of? I truly wish you and your buddys the best of luck. My guess is NY isn't overflowing with job oportunities either... &nbsp

Reply to Optimization - Why do skin designers ignore it? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I've optimized some skins and not optimized others. I always assumed it was the amount of time it took to optimize the graphics that made people decide to not do it. I guess you could make a macro to process them as a batch but I wouldn't trust it to get all the pieces to look right.&nbsp It took me hours to get all the pieces optimized for Alien Technology. Skins these days have so many files, post processing them all is very time consuming. True, TGA's can't be 8-bit.&nbsp Not true

Reply to WindowBlind problem in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Is this happening with every instance of loading a skin? Try saving the download to your desktop (right-click the link and "save target as") and double-clicking the .wba icon to install it and see if it still gives that memory error.

I'm so pigheaded I never went back after the fight over white supremacists and nazis being allowed to post their symbols and their hateful messages. I'm sure they haven't missed me and amazingly, I haven't missed them either

Ironically Hus, it's exactly 3200 days until the end of the "long count" of the Mayan calendar... and your mention of it comes in post #32... what a coincidence It's worth pointing out that the "end" of the Mayan calendar is also a beginning of a new age. Just as the pre-Colombian Hopi stories of the "Great Purification" talk of the end of this "sun" and the beginning of a new one. They don't giv

btw - the source of those predictions listed in my post above is a book titled "While the Gods Play: Shiva Oracles and Predictions on the Cycles of History and the Destiny of Mankind", by Alain Danielou - 1985 Not trying to push the Vedas on anyone, I just thought those statements about our times were quite fitting. We are apparently nearing the end of this cycle and the effects are supposed to be more pronounced as we approach the final curtain. The predictions seem to describe our t

I agree with the above and have lamented the lack of statesmen or inspirational leaders myself for over thirty years. By way of understanding the times we live in I offer you this not so comforting view of our times from an ancient text... We are living in the final years of the Kali Yuga, the age of conflict, the fourth and final Kalpa (stage) of our world's passage through the cycle of life that is but a day for&nbsp Brahma.&nbsp In the Linga Purana, one of the books of the Upanisha
