I remember using it successfully on WinXP, actually, which made RC an incredible app when using WBlinds. Too bad it doesn't work any more, I would love to see a new app similar to RC.
THere was a time when RC could use the current wb skin to skin the menu. Why has this changed? Is it just a problem on my end? It doesn't matter what wb skin I use, RC uses the same skin (from some old wb skin, i assume). Does anyone else have this problem? Thanks!
It was working on my 17 inch lcd, but when I changed to a 22 inch lcd, the cursor simply was gone! I have to press ctrl+shift+c to get the standard windows one, but when I shift back, the cursor disappears. I am using the free version of CFX - I have purchaed it, but I use it on my home computer too, and I can't seem to install it on another computer. (if anyone can confirm this, please acknowledge it. Do I have to buy a new code for every installation?
it's a toss between Nuage, Optix and Challenger. If you put a gun to my head (and you almost did), I'd choose Optix. Those 3 skins are miles ahead of the rest. I know, it's the "old guard" choice, but damnit, Essorant, MikeB and Treetog simmply leave the rest in the dust!
I get why people try to encourage skinners with positive comments - I really do - but sometimes it just feels wrong to see glowing reviews of a bad skin. I haven't found one good WB the last couple of months that I would use for more than 5 minutes. There is a huge leap in quality from the basic WB skins to the master skins - and all the good skinners who previously released their skins for free are now making master skins. Let's just hope that people like Essorant, MikeB, Treetog and
Figured it out - should have realized long ago that it was a problem with access to the WB directory. Made sure it was accessible from my account, and skins install smoothly now. Yeah, even most of the old skins look surprisingly good - will have to look for some of my old favourites and see if they display properly. Thanks anyway.
Many skins won't even load in Vista. This may be a result of my setup, even though I have a new machine with an OEM Vista. When skins aren't combatible with my setup, they resort to a sort of Windows Classic look with altered colours. It should be noted this happens with Essorance's Nuage Redux, even though it has Vista-specific sub-skins. Now that I think about it, no skins downloaded from WinCustomize works. It may be a problem related to installing the skins in Vista - does anyone ha
I have been searching for skins that looks ok in Vista, and have not been very successful. Please, if you know a good WB skin that works well in Vista, please reply here. If there is a list of such WBs, please post. Thanks!
