Reply to Where to find Styles XP themes ??? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Hi Froggy, Your words actually echo some thing I said over on Devart, I think ! Windowblinds at the end of the day is more established and naturally has progressed and evolved into what it is today. A lot of new Skinners to Style XP don't seem to realise one fact that the MS Styles format has bugs. These were not down to TGT's fault, but Microsoft Bugs which were left in Windows XP. As for Theme's for TGT's Style XP all I have seen so far is 'Luna' in so many different colour's it seems

Erm.. I don't mean to sound bad in anyway at all, but the version of Windows XP your using,..is it the Final build ? if not, are you using a Beta. ? It is a well known problem that people were using a reset2.exe patch for XP Activation Process, and this would stop any network from working properly. Causing each boot Time to rest the Network, as well as Internet Logon Settings.

My point was that with Windows XP and Window BLINDS XP, many of the users here already, will in some percentage upgrade to windows XP and use Windowblinds XP anyway. So for downloading themes for XP and making them it is generally business as usual for many of use who plan on upgrading. This doesn't increase traffic. The increase would come from people who have bought windowsXP and know about Wincustomize.com and also know about the release of Windowblinds XP. Unless there is a good advertising

I cannot see how With Windows XP Shipping that it will increase the Vistors to this site. You only need to look at windows XP Skins over the past few months to see what kind of downloads they get. If anything interest in XP skin as such will decrease. As for Window Blinds XP users and new WindowsXP users, a good majority of these people will be people who will have upgraded their OS to XP. So the site traffic in these area's won't have gotten any higher I would have thought. As for use

what ?! the skin is still up ??! urrg. The fact that is skinner is a she doesn't give much credit to female artists in general. I thought though they [Nulsoft] would have been good enough to remove it though. I posted my thoughts on the rip too, I noticed a few people asking for it to be removed. So I just hope some one yet see's some decency in this, and removes it permantly. Except for the damage is already

Reply to Does MDI bitmap skin taskbar? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

ok, what blank space is that ?! The Taskbar is already skinnable though. This is the bar where the open programs sit on the Startmenu bar. So If the Start Menu bar is what you really ment to say, then I have heard it is in skin Studio. BUT! Not many skinners have used this yet, for one reason or another. the MDI bitmap ? no, the MDI bitmap is for MDI Buttons. but thats the last I checked on this. [I have added mdi bitmap buttons in Skin Studio as many other have] so I dont think it is that. <img

Reply to Does Skin Studio support Taskbar Skinning? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Taskbar ? ...Do you actually mean START MENU BAR ? the Taskbar is already skinable.?! The Start Menu bar is normally skinned with ObjectBar. However I have heard the new version of Skin studio and Windowblinds is also supposed to support the Start Menu bar being skinned. I wanted to know actualy about Containers 'Mouse over' Support in WB. this one is kept a mystery too! If the feature you mention really is supported, it will only be accessible in the advanced features of the program I

Hmm not sure what to say or how to put this : I feel that in order for any business to survive in the world, it has to have some kind of contributions to the business in order to survive. Ok, there is over heads to pay for in a business which revenue has to come from some kind of source.

Well it is either flattery that made him do it, or it is something elese which is beyond my scope of thought right now.. But either way, the fact he did ask you Renato, is pretty low. Winamp should take this down I think in repect of the fact that you are the real author of the skin.

Mee too ! Count me in.. I just found out that the Home edition wont support Peer to Peer Networking while the Pro version still does. That could force me to upgrade to the Pro version when its released. [urrh].

Hmm, noway. I don't mind contributing skins, and comments and the like, but I wouldn't pay for membership. I like the idea of a FREE Community. Not FEE. I'll continue to contribute work to this site, as long as the system is fair enough to work and play by. It IS Unfair to ask any skinner particualry to also pay a fee to

..I don't think in all cases I have seen that to be completely true. For some people posting a comment can inclued 'Yea right' or some other three worded simplistic reply which doesn't help the Skin or the Thread in Question. People doing this are not really contributing to the Comments/Topic/Thread, but merely never had anything contructive to say in the first place.

hmm, I would RATHER see points given to people who can actually string a CONSTRUCTIVE comment together, based on the Authors work, and not on the rights and wronmgs of what they believe the Author can or can't do. What I mean by this is waisted comments which are made which are really made by people just looking to stir trouble. I see from past record that such people cause fierce debates, based on things which are actually very mundane, and were not really a big deal so to speak. Some

Stardock has many of the programs you mentioned still in beta. this means obviously they are still under development, but I have to point out that speed issues have become better with each new beta of one of the given StarDock programs mentioned. desktop x and WindowBlinds and Objectbar have slight increases in loading speed and take less on resources. But running these programs all together wether it be a Desktop X/Windowblinds loaded toghether, or Object Desktop Running two applications etc..<
