The Vienna pig.. gets some lipstick.

Huge update :D

Just a line to let those of you who may use my Vienna for Vista WB that you are using an inferior skin... I made Vienna for Vista when Vista first came out, was one of the first Vista skins.. and frankly.. its bad... from a completeness standpoint.

I've been busy the past few months on other projects for those of you who may have wondered why I haven't been submitting much...as far as new skins.

So, having a couple of days before I head off to Treasure Island, FL for a week of fun n' sun on one of the prettiest beaches in the country I thought I'd give the ol' wb a nice spit and polish as Vista is far more prominent now and I have a little spare time on my hands.

Look for the new flashy renovated version in the WB section soon....

....starting..... NOW!

Sounds good to me... an' afore ye gits t' Treasure Island n' up t' yer armpits in wenches, d'yer fink ye could change tha start button n' git that thar Windows flag orf it... it be an afront t' any pirate wurth e's salt. ;p

Seriously, it's a great looking update - and I so, so, soooooOOOO love dark skins - but it would look a whole lot better without the MS flag/logo, IMHO. :)

That'd be great.... providing you can include me some Grade 1-like instructions as to how to apply it.... cos even the easy to use (Grade 4, as someone put it) interface of SKS6 is still a bit above me. :LOL:

Are ya..on.. Vista?


Yup, sure am... been on it since the 1st public beta was released, though I dual boot with XP and still enjoy using it as well.

BTW, did you ever resolve the issues with your X-Fi Fatality soundcard in Vista?? I ended up getting the X-Fi Fatality Pro and it all worked very nicely right out of the box, no need to download updated drivers or anything. It would seem mine was manufactured after the release of Vista - being it came with XP and Vista installation discs - and that may have been the difference. However, all the software/drivers have been updated since, so hopefully yours is working fine now. :)

I must be an idiot to forget your on Vista after all the vista back and forth around here, my bad. :LOL: 

Yeah, I have my sound working on it but none of the creative applications work. No biggie, I don't have enough memory to do any sound recording on VIsta anyway.. It's all done on XP.

I also must be an idiot for posting twice.  X-(

Nice to hear you finally agreeing with those of us talking behind your back.  ;)

May we get a new XP version too? :LOL:

That's no good... that none of the apps work for you in Vista. I sometimes get over to the Creative forums, etc, so maybe I can get some info as to why/how to fix it. While it may be that you don't have enough RAM for recording (and I say may because mine coped well with 2gb prior to upping to 4gb), there's other software in the package that you might find useful/helpful if it worked properly; eg, EQ, WAV editor and options to switch between gaming and entertainment modes, etc.

Anyhow, I'll see what I can find out and get back to you, hopefully with a fix. :)

Now that's not nice!!! There'd be those among "those of us" who wouldn't want you divulging that snippet of information. ;)

Oh, and you're not on your own with the double posts... been happening to me a lot just lately. Posted comments in the skin galleries that end up with 2 of the same that share the same post number... and I know I only submitted once. Me thinks the coding pigeons at Stardock have been getting into Brad's liquor cabinet again... yeah, hitting the bottle cos they're suffering depression and separation anxiety issues, now everyone is going outside more and giving the geese more attention. ;p
