Reply to Creating Your Own Desktop Theme (+1 question) in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

First off, this didn't answer my question. Secondly, I don't know what your problem is that you "read into" something I said as being "validation" or "stand-offish", but neither were included or behind anything I said in this post. I was simply asking questions. I needed to know whether or not, with the skills I have, this program and learning how to skin would be difficult. Now I'm being "stand-offish", and you need to take your damage somewhere else, before you start judgin

Creating Your Own Desktop Theme (+1 question) in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I've been reading up as much as possible on DX, but since the free version doesn't allow it, I have no idea what it takes. I just wanted to know how difficult it is, technically speaking, to use the program to create your own desktop themes and impliment them? Do you have to know any in-depth coding? I'm proficient at DHTML4 and working with Photoshop, but that's about it, so I'm curious if it would be worth my purchasing or not. My other question is just curiosity: h

3,000 Skins? Where? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

In the "windowblinds" section, it's listed as having 2,999 skins... but there are only 15 pages? Where are the rest? Oh, and thanks to those who've helped me out today! Some excellent stuff I've come across here... wish I found this earlier! Thanks.

Hey, thanks for the help Where do I get Windoblinds? Will this allow me to use all the alterations by themese that change the look of taskbars etc.? Thanks much.

Also, why are some of these themes, such as "Dark Industry", not changing the look of my taskbar etc. such as shown in the screen shots? Is there something else I need to do for this? Thanks.

Wrong Targets From Desktop Themes: how do I fix? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

After installing several different desktop themes to experiment with, none of the links (except to browser) are working. For example, Photoshop is listed, but when double-clicked, it does not load... nor do most other programs/files. Is there somewhere I have to change these targets? Why won't the rest of these programs load at all? Thanks in advance.

What will downloading this prove? It will not work if the DX install is wrong somehow? Actually, from the screens I've seen, most of these themes (I've dl'd, anyway) are supposed to change the look of your taskbar etc. as well as come with wallpaper (which are in the zip files) but like I said... I can barely get any of the images to load, period. Doesn't make any sense.

Mmm... that's exactly what I've tried, about 39 times now I see the difference between objects and themes, but I'm not messing with that. To make it simple, here's what I've done: 1)install DX 2)unzip theme into My Documents 3)double click the theme's main file... ...when it goes to load, it only loads like one side image (like maybe the one with CPU usage etc.) de

2.1 is the version I dl'd, but when looking in properties of the program, it says version 2.0.0.0. Could this be the problem?

Reply to Installing Desktop Themes in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Oh, and no... all the themes I've downloaded seem to state they are for the free version (or under) I just downloaded. I even put the packing file in the "Themes" folder of the DX program, yet it will either not show up as a theme at all, or will not totally load correctly (i.e. many missing images etc.)

Hmmm... I'll keep reading, but I'm having some bad issues that don't make sense. Does my system have to be on Xp style to use? I have it on Windows Classic Style. BTW... the theme "mmj" is corrupt with a virus I just detected (though that's not what caused my problems).

Reply to Installing Desktop Themes in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I downloaded the above mentioned file (and some others). When I launch the DX program, the themes I dl'd do not show up as a theme at all that is available to load. So, when I click on the package itself from the zipped file, it only loads a few images (and not correctly) on my desktop, but not the entire theme. It also seems to be causing massive bugs and crashing on my system.

I downloaded and attempted to install the "Dark Industry" theme, but the whole thing won't load correctly. It won't even show up as a theme file.

Ok, there is a great deal in this file, as well as pointing you to other downloads. What other (if any) programs do you need to download, and what exactly do you use to install desktops?

Does installing these effect my PC's security in any way?

Ah, no I don't. I'm assuming I need this program to install desktop themes then...?

Oh, and do all of these themes work with XP?

Installing Desktop Themes in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I'm a little ignorant where this is concerned, as I've never done it, so can someone give me the low-down on exactly how to install a desktop theme that I've downloaded? And if there is any pertinent info I need to be aware of when doing-so? Thanks much.
