[quote who="Wizard1956" reply="16" id="3375029"]Thanks again for doing this. Your work is legendary. No WB collection would be complete without these Master Skins. [/quote] Yes, I agree 100%. As long as I've been here I've never seen anyone that has been able to produce WB Skins that were as stable and functional as yours have been. Thank you for all of it!

It's quite funny that the more "educated" people become the more they demonstrate a complete lack of common sense. So far, there's been only one real answer to this topic. A nice common sense opinion without a backdrop of political bullshit. [quote who="Pizentu" reply="17" id="3373737"]The Climate has been changing as long as the Planet has been spinning. It has frozen over and melted many times. Driving SUVS has as much effect on our planet as it does on others. None.

I just installed dx pro 3.5 on Win8 Pro x64. Complete and utter junk as far as scripting engine. Script editor won't even do anything. DX is lying in a rotting death bed I'm afraid.

I have mixed feelings on this topic. It's pretty obvious that MS is not going to bring back the old start menu. Start8 does a fantastic job of accomplishing that task. Much better than any of the rivals out there. However.. I think people are doing themselves an injustice in relying on it. You aren't going to learn the new way if you have to rely on this method. I will agree that the new features should have been rolled out in phases instead of al

Applied Skins work great. Even older ones. However, I run in to an issue when I revert back to Windows Aero theme ( which should be renamed to indicate it is the default OS theme ). After doing this, Chrome seems to go belly up and give me the "Aw Snap! Something went wrong while displaying this webpage" screen. I have to either apply a WB Skin or uninstall WB completely to get this to work right again.

[quote who="Neil Banfield" reply="32" id="3360103"]We already offer Decor8 which allows you to customize the background and colour scheme used by the Windows 8 full screen start menu.[/quote] Neil, Just to make doubly sure the air is clear: I do like having the ability to use what WB8 provides and am grateful for it. Decor8 is great at what it does - so far. However the ability to customize the tiles, add perhaps transparency to them, things like that are painfu

[quote who="Zubaz" reply="10" id="3360031"]If you are using Win8 and you want the start menu skinned, you need Start8.[/quote] First off, let me say that I greatly appreciate what's been done SO FAR. That being said... Unless the plan for "Blue" is to bring back the traditional Start MENU vs just a Start button to open the modern UI Start MENU (and don't even begin to call it anything else.. it's just the start menu...) ,

In my experience I have seen many other apps that simply hate redirected documents. Don't know the solution but it may perhaps be that the local system needs permission to your redirected documents location which by default would not/should not, contain said permission.

[quote who="ARESIV" reply="7" id="3354508"]Not to mention it will cost billions of Euros wordwide to reteach[/quote] That has to be one of the most lame statements I've ever read. If not then it is a very sad statement concerning the common sense of the general masses. Weather you launch it from a button, windows key, or small rectangle, it's just a start menu in different appearance and size. It isn't rocket science at all and the whining is more media induced than actual

I just don't know why Microsoft didn't listen to the millions of users around the world in the first place.[/quote] 95% of the people can't wrap their heads around the reality that the "modern ui" is nothing more than a simple start menu. It's much more efficient than the legacy start menu and it isn't going anywhere. Even if they bring the Start

[quote]Set Internet and local intranet security zone settings to "High" to block ActiveX Controls and Active Scripting in these zones [/quote] All good and well in theory only. Quite a bit of medical apps require IE8 ( no higher ) and setting intranet and trusted sites to LOW. Try to get a medical app vendor to update THEIR software. HA!! Not likely at all.

I've been an avid hater of Firefox for years now. Every single system I ever used it on had a problem with memory leaks and slowdowns. Did I use addons? Of course I did, that is WHY I used it, because it had some cool addons. For quite some time now I've been using Chrome with Speed Dial 2, Adblock Plus, Roboform, and Photo Zoom for Facebook. Is it faster than IE10 ? Dunno, but you can bet your ass it is faster and much more reliable than firefox ever was on it's b
