Oh yes, that would explain why your skins look the way they do. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/events.gif" borde

Skinners: What was your catalyst to start skinning? (Another mushy thread) in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I'd have to say that Jairo Boudewyn first inspired me to try and learn how to emulate the glassy aqua look and from that I took a shot at skinning.

Reply to Best skin ever? in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

Halle Barry has nice skin but that's probably mostly lights and make-up. My particular favorite WindowBlind is Opulence and the best overall visual style is Mac OS-X. I know that doesn't really count as a skin but I think is defintely the most esthetically pleasing style out there.

My favorite moments were (in no particular order): - Discovering this site in the first place - Finding out that skinning was a bundle of fun wrapped in puppies and gum drops - Getting promoted - When yrag held me oh so close in his warm arms

Lots of good links on that site if you're a Mac emu freak. For instance, they have every icon for OS-X availible in both ICO and PNG (128 px) formats. They're just missing hi-res versions of the default walls.

I read somewhere that it's acceptable as long as the graphic is used to launch the program in question. Not an exact quote and I can't remember where I found it but it was on this site somewhere.

Reply to Question about monitors in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Okay, the picture quality was unacceptable so I took it back and traded it in for a 19" Trinitron. And this is why I hate purchasing monitors.... The picture quality seems fine but the borders around the visible area appear to be blue and when the screensaver activates, the background that should be black is also blue. Any suggestions, other than lugging this thing back to the shop and getting another one?

Okay, CerebroJD, time for you to release the official Fred icon package! If you or tealfan actually want to do it, just reference this post for your permission file. One more thing, the blue background that is in the PSD (but hidden) was put there to help you with cropping. That way you can click the layer on to see where the background gradient starts and ends and then click it off before you save. [Message Edited]

Reply to Fred-ifying my icons in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

The gradient was only really intended for symbols that were one solid color. The glare layer should always be in front. As far as transparency goes, I'm not sure what the issue is. You aren't flattening your image before saving it to PNG, are you?

What display manager are you using? The one that came with the card, Hydravision, appears to suck large quantities of butt. I'm testing out Ultramon right now but it's lacking some features that I'd like to see. Like start buttons on both screens.

The grains appear to be smoothing out so I guess the monitor is repairing itself (wink wink) I also remembered that my video card supports duel display so I am now squeezing every bit of life that I can out of my old 17. Two screens are a freakin' trip, man!!!

Reply to Question about monitors in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Yep, I think you may be right because I'm not noticing it as much as when I first turned it on. I'm not sure if I WANT to get used to it though.

Question about monitors in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

My 17" Trinitron monitor bit the big one so I plunked down some of my extra change on a 19" CRT. Now everything looks just a bit grainy. Now is everything "grainy" because I've gotten used to viewing a flat screen or is the monitor just dodgy? Or is it because I'm just really picky about things because my wife claims not to notice?

I think it appears in folders like Windows, Program Files, etc on fresh installs and gives you the option to disable them the first time you see them. That's my theory anyway. I haven't figured out a way to test it out though without reinstalling the OS. It's like a warning light to prevent the computer illiterates from hosing their own systems.
