Reply to Editiorial: Are skinners abandoning originality in exchange for popularity? in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

I've been a user of W/B and an addicted downloader of most skins (just to see how good they look on my box!) for over 5 years. Most of the classics that appear here are archived on my back up and many remain in use. Almost anything by Mercury, Shoggot, Crumbutt and Dangeruss top my 'best of' list. My 'daily drivers' are either 'Grizzle 2' by adni18 or 'Skink' by essorant .... different but very user friendly and about as minimalist as I would go. With the evoloution of WB4 it wou

wombat....please stop putting down the GrandPrix and their appreciation of my efforts.It gets tedious and as I'm a FIA and FIM Official you are also slighting me, and I'd rather it stop. Jafo! You know and I know there is nothing personal re my views. I'm not impressed with what has become of the second oldest 'Grand Prix' the known World.

I'm only 29 they tell me!!! In the hosptial, I was on the floor with 60 and 70 year olds. It felt wierd that I was on the 'cardiac aresst' floor... I forget what they called it.

Reply to GrandPrix is over for another year..... in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Before the GP, I was excited about the traction control and auto-boxes being banned.After falling asleep literally 3 times during the race, I'm wondering if it really was such a good idea....... Bring back front engines and skinny rubber I say! We were t

Yes....watching the McLarens getting all 'loose' in the front end when exiting turn 2 under acceleration was a bit 'disconcerting'....whereas Ferrari was pretty darn 'tight' in every respect. Seems another epoch - a million years ago... when McLaren dominated..... Yes indeed Jafo ...but that was when Formula 1 cars mean't something .... new regulatio

There's a known issue with pop-ups that's messenger-related, I believe. If you are not a fan of Microcrud's Messenger it's a good move to go Control Panel - Administrative Tools - Services - Services Local and scroll down to 'Messenger'. You can set it for a manual startup or (my choice) just disable it .... no more pop-ups in the middle of your s

Reply to Desktop Aquarium! in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Sounds as if you're confusing one of the DesktopX (??????) themes with the AquaReal, Marine Aquarium 2, SimAquarium or Digital Minds 'Aquarium' screensavers .... all of which are pretty resource hungry. If your card doesn't have 3D support you would have hassles with the savers, never mind the aggro without accelerated 3D support! Can't answer for the specific D/L you mention but one of the admi
