Bitmaps to Jpgs advise please in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

If you spend hours making a clean sharp 16 bitmap (say for a bootskin) then convert to a JPG (for the preview at Wincustomize) there is a great loss of (pixel) image. Is there any way around this loss (other than) re-rendering in say photoshop or something ? Yes I have gone the other rought JPG to bitmap but thats almost as bad ? Normally I end up rendering the same image twice (16 bitmap & Jpg). Thank you... <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/

Tip : When you open > programs > Stardock > WinCustomize > Boot Skins > Skins you will find the boots listed here...Click "open a new file" and name it. This will be your file to put the ins, bar and image in after you have made them.....I`m rambling on...The tip is simple create a short cut on your desktop to "skins" file that way you can get to it quick...Simple tip but very usefull.

Ins boot files (Progress bar) location & size in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Could one kind soul point me in the right direction in understanding the x and y of a progress bar ? I have played around changing the values and ended up each time with a boot that "stalls" or doesn`t work.. To move this bar up, left, right or sideways. Make it longer or shorter. Make it fatter or thinner.And to reposition it elsewhere on the page. I`ve got the hang of re-coloring it but was wondering if it can be made to flash up and down instead of left to right ? <

Only ingnorant people get get Mad about things, intelegent people raise issues that connect and attract all of us to the net. My concerns are to understand the bounderies of "film and images" used in work produced. Whats the point of spending hours producing say a "Homer Simpson" Logon screen only to find out its rejected on the grounds of "copywrite" ! It is after all a very tempting and fun to use a popular theme or "fan images". Looking at the library a lot of art

So basically some people get through the net (excuse the pun) and others get caught ! Depends on the individual who looks at the upload and their opion at that moment in time. There seems to be a big difference on IP in Australia and the USA with regard to so called "fan images" . You have such a vast library (one to be proud of) sorting it must be a nightmare job, and there

Using film image to produce walls, logons, boots or other skins is not allowed. Take for example the film "Lord of the Rings" in the library there are many very well designed theme logon screen skins using film image available from :http://www.lordoftherings.net/ And yet on the same website the terms and conditions state the following: I quote Terms of Use Please read these Terms of Use carefully before using any of the Web sites operated by New Line Cin

Try learning something simple to start...say boot skins...You could make one easily in MS paint (very easy to use)...Read the instructions after you down the boot skin application...Open it up and click on help...
