TC - I seem to remember this, wasn't it about a year ago? If it's the same one I'm thinking of, it was the time where you and a couple other members were so distasteful that I decided I didn't want to be here any more.&nbsp It's interesting to hear that GM felt the same way. If I have any say in this, you, TC, will be the one who goes away this time. I don't like seeing users demand the "right" to be such unpleasant people that regular users are driven away. This happened about a yea

Reply to Transparent Skin... seen it on a screen shot but cant find it in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

WindowBlinds used to have a setting to make explorer window backgrounds "transparent".&nbsp Actually it was a duplicate of your wallpaper from whatever location the window was in.&nbsp Something about WindowsXP made Stardock remove that feature. With the speed of new CPUs and graphics cards, it would be great to get that feature back again. The buttons Stumpy mentioned are a transparency plugin by GreenReaper that lets you adjust the transparency of the entire window. I know it's in a

Reply to CopperDeck II Cursors FIXED in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

The "problem" with the CopperDeck cursors is that the file has a zip extension instead of the doubleclickable CurXPTheme extension. Davebutler didn't create anything, he simply re-named it.&nbsp I guess a lot of people don't know you can rename a theme file to .zip and vice-versa. So davebutler, do the right thing and don't you dare post that file anywhere... people will just have learn to rename files, unzip files and create directories all on their own. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/

I would also recommend the hospice for you and your mother jarget. They are so helpful and so compassionate. The process of passing from this world is something everyone will undertake at some time. It's good to have experts to help maintain the dignity and courage we would all like to experience at such a time. You have my heartfelt condolences and I also second the advice, be with her as much as you can.

Reply to Has anyone thought of making a windowblind specifically for one app? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Shameless, look at the one called Alien Technology if you're going to do that. It has UIS1 subskins with UIS2 skins. That one has 9 skins in it. Koasati is right, you'll have to do some tweaking after converting to UIS1, especially to the border sizes to make a 3 pixel border which the convertor doesn't do right. It's best to look at it as a new skin and re-do the whole thing after the conversion.

Reply to title bars in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

You can make subskins and apply them as per-app skins to get the effect of different titlebars for different apps. Toolwindows have a different titlebar also.

One of the first skins I made back in 1999 was done specifically for ACDSee (or any graphics viewer) but it worked ok for a general use skin too. That was Darkmarble. I'm a photographer and I wanted a 'picture frame' skin. The per-app capabilities of WindowBlinds has always been one of my favorite features. I also made a skin for Doreen to use on her on-screen TV tuner. It's called Doreen's TV and was intended to be a per-app skin.
