It was (I had to check my profile) September '02..I was tired of the standard luna variants in xp, and thought "there must be a way to change it.." Some quick googling landed me at Windowblinds website, which sent me here. The rest is.. history? I used the trial version for about 6 months until I convinced my mother (I was 14 at the time) the money was well-worth it, and I've been an OD subscriber ever since. I've been largely out of the community the past few years..but with the new versio

You guys are awesome. Seriously. Would it be possible for high-end computers for you guys to package a ray-tracer or something so the user could select the viewing angle they want? Just an idea.. Also.. a more realistic idea... maybe some tie-in to a weather service so that you can enter your zip and have the sunrise/set scene play when your local sunrise/set is.

Reply to Object Desktop 2008 Preview! in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

I second the question as to whether or not 2008 is a literal or similar to car models... though of course I don't think production should be rushed. You guys have a good history of getting things done fast and well though, so, I'm not worried. Also... FREAKIN' AWESOME! The features of WB6 look fantastic! Being able to breathe new life into old skins is going to be great. TweakVista also looks nice, but I'm hoping the power user features will be as powerful as they should be. Again, thou

Some of us actually can't. If you can afford to shell out $400 for ultimate, you can afford $5 for an animated wallpaper.

Reply to Is art worthless on the Internet? in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

I cannot beleive people are complaining about paying $5 for an exquisite piece of art. Seriously. What's more important to you people? You can't even get a good lunch for $5 anymore, and yet you bitch about this stuff?! This whole dreamscene thing and the content that's up on wincustomize is one of the primary factors in my desire to get Vista Ultimate (what can I say, I like my eye-candy!) As soo

Reply to Firefox 2.0 Beta 2 Available in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

New icons, very vaguely new bars. *shrug* It's smoother, I suppose. Hey, look, inline spell-checking and a bin for closed pages. What a novel idea for a browser! I love that Firefox's dev team is so original in their ideas.

Perhaps they can do a double-whammy and stop the buggers from downright refusing to let you cancel your account. Then maybe they can investigate why people are billed for months after they do manage to cancel their accounts.

Reply to GUI Olympics = GUI World Championships in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Windowblinds, IconPackager, and Winamp. Those are the 3 that usually take the most work to create, so you typically get the greatest ammount of good new work, since there's a big incentive. Arguments against other categories: I think a widget category would be awesome, but odds are you'd end up with 90 cool clocks/mail checkers/weather checkers instead of anything really new or innovative. Firefox is too much of a niche, as fa

This is probably a given, but, you have to check out what Google has got in the works. That's definitely going to be the thing to watch. Also any completely new/innovative stuff, if it's there, and you have time.. Have fun, you lucky devil!

Reply to I can read too, can I have a job with SBC Tech support?! in Internet WinCustomize Forums

Sucks that so many tech supports are idiots.. Personally though, I've only ever had good luck with them. When I got my new computer, I didn't know it, but my HDD was corrupting a system file every time I rebooted - I ended up having to rebuild windows about 6 times in 2 weeks. The activation thing has some sort of guard to not allow you to activate if you've installed it a lot or something.. Anyway, I had to call to g

Anyone good with Mac OSX Server? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Ok, I'm not only a rather novice mac user, I'm a networking novice as well, so, please, don't hurt me as I ask- My school's art lab just got a powermac G5 server, came with OSX server already installed. We're having some problems, or, rather, are trying to do some things that we don't know how to do. (My teacher isn't the most computer literate person, so I'm helping) Anyway.. basically what we're trying to do is make it so that m

Ah.. didn't know that the display properties thing was universal, thanks. Also, am using Aura and am having no problems, must've just been temporary. Thanks for the help, yrag, I really appreciate it!

Followed your advice, yrag- Still unable to apply skins via display properties, and WB5 skins have z-order problems.

WB5 Problem - possibly rundll? in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

Up until now I've not been able to get WB5 to work at all. Come to find out it was simply the activation problem everyone has been having.. So, I copied Activate.exe into the WB5 folder after uninstalling WB4, activated correctly, and now everything works.. sort of. The first time I got it working, I got the rundll error, and drwatson.whatever and konfabulator died. I uninstalled/reinstalled and this time just got the rundll error - no killage of apps. However, b

Ok.. I've tried every beta except for the latest (d I beleive?) and have had the same problem of no skinning - reverting to classic - with every one.

Possible stupid question in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

I've got a 64-bit processor, but I don't have 64-bit windows. Is the WB5 incompatibility with 64-bit just with 64-bit windows, or anyone with a 64-bit processor?
