Reply to Any other way? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

How much do you want to customize it? OB actually hides/replaces it. Desktopx, Hoverdesk, Litestep (and all of it's shootoffs), Nextstart can all do the same thing to one extent or another. I just depends on what you want it to do and how you want it to look. Thee are plenty of app launchers if that is all you want. If you want o use your existing task bar, Windowblinds would probably do the trick for you, possibly with the Bandvwm plugin from Control Center.

I am still not satisfied Seriously though, I do want a faster video card, and am restling between a geforce 3, or one of the new radeons. My problem is that the more powerful I make my PC, the more STUFF I try to make it do. I would like to be able to

Reply to Heroes of the skinning in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Douglas Quebbeman, Ge0ph, Allen Bond, Bob Starck-Higgins, Dangeruss. All have been mentioned before, but they are my favorites. One that has not been mentioned is Tin_Omen. He doesn't release very much as compared to other theme authors, but in the early days of Litestep he was a very big influence. I came upon the skinning community around the time of LS b23 and knew what my desktop had been missing for so long. I was very involved in BBS customization, and very much missed that kind of stuff.<

Reply to How do you download Object Bar? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

That's cause it is still in beta. You can only download it now if you have subscribed to Object Desktop. Once it is out of beta (or maybe even closer to release than it is now), they will probably put it up for download to the general public.

Reply to A comment caught my eye. . . .and a proposal for the benefit of the community in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I agree that their is no sense in getting worked up over it. They probably should add a disclaimer along the lines of "this site is primarily supported through a grant provided by Stardock, blah blah, and so on", but other than that, no big deal. I primarily use Stardocks stuff, as it is well written, well supported, and will probably be around for awhile. I also use Nextstart and lots of other small apps. When I want litestep themes, I go to ls.com, and make the rounds of several other sites as

x10 kicks ass. Fortunately you can use their xray-vision program (free) with usb webcams, thus NOT spening $89+ on their cameras . Other than that, I have several rooms running off of X-10 modules.

Reply to Why our kids are monsters... in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I tend to agree with this. I spent 13 years in a job where I averaged 5-6 weekends off work/year. No Holidays (including Christmas). I noticed a post up above that came close to discussing the quality vs quantity time argument and I believe that it is actually a good mix of both that benefits children. Spending so many years working 70-90 hour weeks left me NO time (quality or otherwise) for my children. I took a pretty big paycut to get my current position which offers me the time off that

once I get home from work I will find it. burned all of my ls stuff to cd a couple of weeks ago. getting ready to do a rebuild and hate losing stuff, especially with so many theme sites vanishing. I like it. It was the 2nd theme I used, after the default LS theme from .24 by Tin.

Wincustomize CD in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Been out of town all week, so haven't had a chance to DL the newsgroups. How has the CD done? Was the initial response pretty decent. Just curious mainly. I know I ordered it, but haven't heard much about it since the release.
