Are there any freeware alternatives?

popups?

yeah... like:
at every startup!
(I do only use the trial version...)
...remembering me to "buy online!" (yeaaah, great:-/)

Must have missed those POPUPS. Where are they?

wait a sec I'll do a screenshot

*bump* slaps forhead and falls over backwards *thump*

No need Jimilo. Thats another reason I like this site. I don't get any popups.

he must be thinking of the "nag screen"

Anyways, freeware alternatives:
ShellWM: http://shellwm.sourceforge.net/

Not nearly as many options as WB, but it's OK as it is

I like popovers and pop tarts. And popups are cute, in book form.

Nag screen! Is that full of old horses or women?

ohhhh PopOvers yum! I'll take raspberrie please!

it is indeed!
it's so great to be a newbie...
so - sourceforge rules... I'll have a closer look on that shellWMthing... but about that 19,95 bucks-stuff I'm still not sure, my english sucks anyway;-)
(guess you could sell me an apple for an egg, as we say)

oh there you go, bringing up Mac's geesh

If yah bought an Apple you got a Egg

Jimilo, if your talking about the subscription to WC, it's worth every dollar and it's for 2 years. If your talking about WindowBlinds that is also worth the money. But if your thinking about getting windowblinds, I would go the full couse and get Object Desktop.

actually I am drooling over the new dual 1.2gth G4 PowerMAC

Oh and the 17 inch Titanium PowerBook too

though.... be a longggggg while before that happens.

1995 don't be a cheap skate... get the whole object desktop, forget about share ware, and freeware... you get what you pay for... and oject desktop is more than worth it... and all of these skins here... they won't work with shellwm... so buy oject desktop... and if you actually parchase object desktop you won't get that annoying pop up...

dats why their annoying

I would say go with Object Desktop. You get everything for one low price. It's worth it.

Jimilo, seriously...

Depending upon exactly what you are looking for out of the applications you decide to run, you will find the answer to what you want. Sounds stupid stated that way but if you think about it a bit, you will see it relaly isn't.

1 : quality of applications
2 : unbiased, prompt, constant if not instant support from the company
3 : updates
4 : support from other customers and community members
5 : quality of the graphics used with the prodycut developed by it's customers and community memebers
6 : company employee's whom are also users of the products and community members and leaders as well as customers and cummonity members.
7 : 1000's of creative artistic types who are a part of the community.

compaired to?

free? might work, might not, ask your question and I might answer or I might not and if in the end nothing works out for you, oh well, it's free you own it, problems and all...

For me those are the key issues behind spending the money I have...
anyway, just my weak pov for what it's worth...

of course my spelling and typing skills sure are stupid even before looking a second time !

i put money where i want my skills to lie and Photoshop 7 has payed for itself in sheer enjoyment and to see what the people can create with it just makes it even better and pushes me to become more creative...... can any one tell me what extra's i should have to add on to photoshop?

Extra's. If you go to Adobe Studio Exchange and you can find all kinds of things.

super, i have a few already but they just standard and plain old nasty

to quote myself once more... "you get what you pay for"... so buy object desktop, and don't settle for anything less...

Wombat really goes for pop-tarts .... Holly Valance, Sophie Monk, Kylie .......

wombat just like tarts! well, maybe covering em with oozing jellied fruits to add a little zing also
