Reply to Life after death. in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

There is just too much anacdotal evidence to come to the conclusion that there is nothing after death. Every culture has it's mythologies - and most often these are based on some sort of reality according to the social sciences. Comparing those mythologies gives one the same picture - that death of the body is but a doorway. I believe that one's essence, soul or what have you, passes from this plane of existance to another.

Reply to Converting XP Visual Styles to WindowBlinds Skins in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

Thanks for the help, everyone. Butch, got your e-mail and am busily fixing the skin (even tinkered a bit on some of the images..just to see what does what). I couldn't see any thing on the screen about "flat Menu's" - and I really looked, but since I really have no idea what I am looking at, I could have missed it! I might put up a screenshot of the one I am

Reply to Converting XP Visual Styles to WindowBlinds Skins in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

Well, the cable went down and this didn't get posted...so here it goes..I tried checking the different boxes under options to see what would work...the option "universal skins" appeared to work. It imported and so far it looked good, but then when I applied the skin, bit and pieces weren't working (ie the taskbar and menu didn't skin), but will keep trying. I know this worked before, because i imported some really neat skins.

Update for you Diane. There will be a new version of Objectbar soon with the ability to incorporate widgets etc, thereby increasing it's overall usability and functionality. I can hardly wait! From the news page, it should be out after the new desktopx program. Check it out. It's more than just desk fluff.

Well, that fixed it, sort of...now the curvey top is missing, but so is the half image of my little penguin. Doesn't look bad...just a wee bit different. Thanks again for all the help. Ps it worked great on a couple of other skins that that my user pic just didn't look good on. they didn't loose their tops!

Reply to how do I disable user icon? in New Users WinCustomize Forums

Well, tried this, but got an error msg..."you need to fir errors marked as [critical errors] for the skin to save. Then it pauses, says validating, then exits. The problem with the start menu is still there, and I have no idea as to what critical errors are or how to fix them, so guess this skin will just go in the wait and see if there's an update box...sigh...I love that soft blue grey color. Thanks for all the help, though. I'm afraid that this

Ok, tried that...but it didn't work for "Blue Grey Heaven" by jcg... my little penguin is only half there (kinda like me on Manday am's before I get my coffee fix!). But it just looks awful. I will exit, reboot and try again. Please let me know of any other ideas on how to get this to look right. Thanks Bet

Googling it got me nothing but alot of chat room stuff...no

Reply to Objectbar opinions? in Community WinCustomize Forums

Diane, I use objectbar to keep the programs and folders that i use all the time handy. I have it on autohide and use the Longhorne M4 most. I like it better than objectdock because I find I have less clutter - each item points to a menu of shortcuts from my start folder and I set it so that it uses whatever skin I am currently using (I like to change things around). I have problems soemtimes getting the desktopx bars to do what I want (I

I have been seeing alot os screenshots with recolored icons...how do they do this? I did a search and came up empty , but then again, maybe I wasn't asking the question correctly. Perhaps there's a tutorial someone can steer me to? Thanks heaps!!

Why thank you Wizop BoXXi I like to start my looking at skins from the earliest to the most updated, classics get better with time and deserve as much attention as the new stuff. It's like music. Just 'cause it's old, doesn't mean it doesn't swing!!!
