Reply to Weather Docklet does not work in ObjectDock WinCustomize Forums

If you are frustrated with this issue then there is a solution.....at least one which enables you to have a forcastable weather docklet in your OD. This is a link for Sysstats 2.5.11: actually a really cool program ,by Judge,that allows you to add docklets such as CPU, battery, calander and weather to OD. The weather docklet is one that Ive used for ages and it even provides a 3 day forcast (though not in fly-out form). Just follow the instructions to install the plugin and wea

to elaborate...... to suggest that someones skin is undserverving of respect wthin the community is, to me, kind of defeating te purpose of this site. Sure, there may be skins that we personally dont like but it still desrves respect in the fact that it may be a serious attempt by an individual to create something that they wish to share. Offer some suggestions of how you think it could be better improved to bring it up to a standard which you yourself would find accep

Won't update for meeither (Taipei, Taiwan). I hope this issue is fixed soon as I am used to having a weather docklet....even the older form without flyouts would do. As it is now, just cant even get it to update like the older version always reliably could and would.

Reply to Paint Shop Pro vs. Photo Shop - opinons wanted in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Ive been using PSP for like 10 years now..ever since v4. Currently I use v7.04 AE, and, having used Photoshop as well, my thoughts are that there isnt much u cant do in PSP that u can do in Photoshop. The secret is PLUGINS. Get urself a good set of plugins and learn how to use them....and a fair majority of the plugins that are used in PS are also compatable with PSP. I must admit that at first glance PSP looks not nearly advanced as PS, but after I spent time to look into how to use P

Reply to How Stardock failed the skinning community in 2006 in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

M two cents. I skinned my first and only real windowblinds theme, 'Dark Industry' about like 2 years ago now...and it was really popular. Even now the DextopX theme and windowblinds of this still get a steady stream of downloads. How I did it? I got a skin i liked and basically figured it out myself through tinkering and 'reverse engineering; (how else to do it considering the abismal documentation on SS at the time). Once I got

Reply to Blog: Will Windows Vista attract new skinners? in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

From the sounds of the article, i get the feeling that the push towards future skinning is going to be focussed on Vista. I for one, due to price and software/hardware compatability issues and demands am not going to be buying or installing Vista any time soon. I still think that in 6 months time, XP users will still far outnumber the Vista users; and if the push to revitalise skinning is priarily focussed on Vista during that time, thats go

The erosion of civil liberties has already begun and like in nature, once erosion has begun, its pretty much irriversable.

Firstly, I wish to say my heart goes out to all the people affected by the September 11 tragedy. Any war will have its 'casualties' and you can bet your boots that the war was already going on between America and the Muslim fundamentalist groups well before the date of 9/11...if you know anything about the Middle Eastern/American Global political history,thats a given. These people were the casualties of an already existant warfare. Personal

Well pointed out PC guy!! I too, stand 100% by your concerns. More people should definately speak out about this issue. If not enough people start to educate themselves about this nastly not-so-little internet conglomorate and actively pursue its invesigation, then civil liberties as we know them will be a thing of the past.....thats is if they aren't deteriorated enough already.

Maybe more time should be spent using the programs than researching and posting to forums and talking to people and reading heaps of things than worrying about how the program is activated. Do something creative with the programs like they were meant to be used and leave it at that. The rest of that stuff is all philosophical bulls***ing, a waste of time, and will accompli
