When I select show hidden programs I can see the object edit in the list but when I select show it or all hidden programs by selecting reset, it still does not display it.

Reply to Object Edit in Stardock Support General WinCustomize Forums

I have opened stardock central and I do not have a listing for object edit, not is there a button or a link at the bottom that says more. Is the object edit apart of an older version of Objectdesktop?

I'm sorry, are you asking if the logon has uploaded and awaiting moderation, or are you telling me that it has uploasded and it is awating moderation? If you are telling me that it has uploaded and that it is awating moderation, may I ask how do you know this information? Because on my skins page it does not say that I have anything awaiting moderation.

Up Loading in WinCustomize Site Issues WinCustomize Forums

I've been trying to upload a new logon screen to wincustomize.com for three days now and it appears to upload fine and I can see it in the list of skins awaiting moderation, and that stays like that for a day and then awaiting moderation is gone and the uploaded logon file is not listed any longer. This has happened three times in a row. The logon screen file is a zip file that has four resolution sizes all in one zip file; the zip file size is 2.60MB<

Reply to Mormegil gets Under The Skin! in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

I love the first installment of “Under the Skin”, it was very good. It kept my interest and had me wanting to hear more. The host ( Mormegil ) and I think his co-host ( Cordelia ) did a very good job explaining some of the intricacies of skinning. The guest ( MikeB314 ) was a very good first guest, he was very informative and knows a lot about skinning, I found it very interesting to hear how he got started and that there are

Reply to Icon-A-Day: making the final IconPackage! in Icons WinCustomize Forums

I really like your work on the Icon-a-Day series, I am even more surprised to know that they where all created with CorelDraw. CorelDraw is my program of choice, but until now I did not know it full capability. I am really looking forward to your next tutorial series on making a WindowBlinds skin, step by step. (Maybe you could give us an update on how that is going.) I think it is a really great idea to make the blind match the

CorelDraw 11 or 12 Tutorials in Skinning JoeUser Forums

What’s up skinners! Being a beginner in a world that is completely new to me is hard sometimes not having a manual on how to do all the things one needs to know about designing skins. One of the great skinners should write a book about how to create skins with different programs that people use. I am trying to find some tutorials on how to design interfaces and buttons with CorelDraw. I have recently obtained a copy of CorelDr

Can black space color under boot skin progress bar be changed? in Skinning JoeUser Forums

I am new to the skinning community and have been learning lots of things about boot screens. I was looking for new boot skins to study, and I saw that some people knew how to change the color of the black space that the progress bar would move on top of too a different color, with out turning that space black. I looked at their .INI file and notice that they had additional lines of information added. To see what I am talking

Reply to Bootskins images, can they be made clearer? in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

Thanks a lot Moderator, I agree with you, I have tried a lot of editors like, ACDSee7, PaintShop Pro9, IrfanView, SkinStudio, Macromedia FireWorksMX, and Corel Draw 12 Photo Paint, the best one hands down was ACDSee7, then the PaintShop Pro 9 was pretty good as well, SkinStudio had a lot of options after reducing colors to 16 X 4 bit, but it did not do a better job than ACDSee7 or Paint Shop Pro9, they where the best.

Bootskins images, can they be made clearer? in Skinning JoeUser Forums

What I would like to know is, is there a way or a program that can make bootskin images clearer? I have seen some bootskins that seem to be clearer than others. I have contacted some of the creators of some of the clear bootskins, but I have not received a response yet. So, if there is any one out there in the world of skin that knows of some technique or program that is able to make bootskins clearer, please contact me here or by

Thank you kona0197, the instructions were great, the Photo Paint Pro, program converted jpeg’s to 16-bit effortlessly. Creating the progress bar in the converted boot skin image and then cropping it into a new window was a very good technique. If you are the writer of the boot skin tutorial, awesome job, and I thank you for leading me to the right source. firstliight <img src="http://images.stardock.com/wc
