Any reliable pet store will have crickets (even vitamin enhanced ones!), grubs, and superworms year round. I'm not sure what your exotic froggies eat, but there's almost certainly an available food source available - even by mail order.

Sarcasm on: Obviously another attempt by Stardock to dominate and ruin the skinning scene with overt commercialism. Sarcasm off. It was gonna be said anyway... I just thought I'd beat the naysayers to it. Honestly, I think this is an excellent idea and should generate some terrific skins. Th

Reply to LogonXP 2.0 util vs LogonStudio 0.90 util for XP startup? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I must be an incredible dolt. I've worked through the program with due care and diligence, specifying each option to the best of my knowledge, creating appropriatly sized images and using the default logons as a guide. Simple, no? Apparantly not, since I've yet to create a viable logon. Everything I create with this app. fails spectacularly. 6 attempts = 6 failures. Wheee! this is fun.

I think I need a new sport! in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

As you may recall, about 6 weeks ago, I broke my collarbone whilst enjoying my favorite activity, which is mountain biking. I've healed faster than I expected and and have begun riding and enjoying the trails again. So... Third time out on the bike after the broken collarbone healed sufficiently and I managed to encounter another sudden gust of gravity and break two ribs! Holy krap that hurts. Embarassingly stupid "tip-over" in the worst possible place. I managed to fall with m

Bought it, got it (eventually), installed it and love it. Well worth the 10 spot. I spend that in a week turning diet soda into... well, you know It's a good thing I'm running a high resolution (1600x1200), since some of the elements would be a bit large at a common resolution of 1024x768.

Just select "open file" rather than save to disk and WindowBlinds will automatically install the skin. Alternately, you can DL the file to a folder and rename the extention to .zip and open it via your preffered unzipping utility.

Reply to Okay, enough of the melodrama, let's talk about movies! in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I find it AMAZING that DavidK never read the Lord of the Rings trilogy. I sort of thought that would be right up his alley I'm not a big fan of fantasy works, both literaty or artistic, so I never read them either. It's no surprize that there are big-budget films being made of the LOTR and Harry Potter books, but I can't say I'll make an effort to see either one.

Reply to Skin Applications - where do we go from here? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

What I'd like to see is what would amount to either a totally new program or a partnership with Adobe to allow all parts of the standard Adobe GUItobe skinnable. Imagine a toolbar that was user configurable and more. I expect neither to happen. There is room for a stand-alone freeware app that is good replacement for Sysmeter2. Sure you can do that with DesktopX or Hoverdesk to a certain extent, but neither are freeware and require loading a bit more than a system monitior. A g

Jafo - holy shiz! That sounds awful. I'll assume you meant 10 months rather than 10 days. I'm on Vicodin, and that works pretty well. Brad - No XP here. I'm not too enthusiastic about it. 2000 pro works pretty doggone well for me. XP seems to be more about big type and big squishy buttons, so grandma can email pictures easier than any new computing benefits.

Aw crap. Never got into the LOS scene much, with all the sporadic downtime it suffered. Tis a shame really, seeing another site perish. Condolences to all involved and affected.

Gravity: 1 Dangeruss: 0 Just got our of casualty (ER). Had a bit of a shunt while biking. Spectacular over the bars get-off while negotiating a 4 foot drop. Got a touch 'nose heavy' and did a superman over the handlebars and landed on my head and shoulders. Tally: One broken collarbone. About a dozen scrapes and bruises. An excuse to buy a new helmet and about 8 weeks off bike. Dam

Damned if you do - Damned if you don't. in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Wow. What a positive community to be involved with! -- that's sarcasm for those wondering. So let's see just this week (and it's only Wednesday) the skinning community has had about 4 mini-wars raging. Is it fallout from the 'war on terrorism' and worry over the global and US situation(s)? It seems that many in the scene have got a major bug up their collective ass! Brad gets vilified. l

Reply to DesktopX or HoverDesk in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Yep, they're really all pretty different, considering their similarities. "Best" is so subjective. Being a HoverDesk developer, my opinion can't help but be biased, so I'll suggest the same advice as the others, with a twist. Use each one exclusively for a couple of weeks and create a simple theme or really tweak an existing theme and see which one 'fits' best for your needs. Where you'll find diferences are in the flexibility, power, resource consumption and ease of customizing and ope
