Thanks for the info, Doc! I am a mac only person for the past few years (iPhone, iPad, Airmac and desktop) , so that puts me in the minority, but I have never been hit with a virus malware etc ,or an update that makes me want to tear my hear out and scream "Why for Gods sake, WHY???" except for the new theme, which sucks IMO. True, I do use mac Keeper, because I used to dual boot when i was still making windowblinds, and never bothered to take it off aft

Reply to exam anxiety ... in Life, the Universe and Everything WinCustomize Forums

While at University I suffered from such extreme exam anxiety that after leaving the exams, I couldn't recall if I have even written my name and student number on the paper let alone a single fact or figure regarding the subject I was just tested on. Had a complete memory dump, for a lack of a better metaphor. So you are not alone. Here's how I dealt with it. I knew the stuff forwards and back, just had to remind myself that it was not t

Terry, I would be happy to help in any way I can. I have a current Shutterstock account that ends in 30 days and help you design a professional looking piece that can be used for business cards, adverts or whatever free of charge. Some images that are supposedly "free" on the net, actually are not, so you have to b really careful if you go that route. I designed the layouts for the themes for Skinartistry and for my own website.

I am a voracious reader - when the mood strikes me. I read on my Kobo and/or iPad. The last books I read were: Quirk by Hannah Holmes . A look at how brain chemistry forms personality from a neuropsychologists view. A tad biased, but informative. T he Little Old Lady Who Broke All the Rules by Catharina Ingleman-Sundberg. A hilarious tale of pensioners who take matters int

In my case, since I only have XP, when skinning for Vista, I need to rely on my "testers" who have Vista installed on their puters. This entails alot of emailing back and forth of screenshots to get the adjustments etc, right. And I am sure most other wb skinners do this as well, and not just hope for the best . The same process could be used to check icons as well, I believe.

Zoomba - can you check to see that the file for the Cherry Chocolate Update is CherryChocolate2a.wba? then you can delete the other(s). Or would it be easier to just delete them both and for me to resubmit?

OH NO!!! now I see that there appears to be 2 copies of the skin in moderation and no apparent way to delete one !!! I am truly sorry for all this confusion. ..I tend to get really nervous with a new skin....

Zoomba - I didn't get the same page as last time - the one with the options to keep the preview and description - so named the skin Cherry Chocolate UPDATE and the file is CherryChcoolate2a.wba - but I think i uploaded the wrong one!!! How do I correct this? If the file I uploaded with the update is CherryChcoolate2.wba then it is not the correct one - that one didn't skin the windows system folder properly and the default colors will show for the text!&n
