Reply to having a bad day? (not as bad as some) in Community WinCustomize Forums

Here's a quick one to keep the chain going... (hopefully). A woman came home to find her husband in the kitchen, shaking frantically with what looked like a wire running from his waist towards the electric kettle. Intending to jolt him away from the deadly current she whacked him with a handy plank of wood by the back door, breaking his arm in two places. Until that moment he had been happily listening to his Walkman. (poor sod !!) <br/

I think it’s about time we all had a little bit of a chuckle. Having a bad day? Read on & think again… A man was working on his motorcycle on his patio and his wife was in the kitchen. The man was racing the engine on the motorcycle when it accidentally slipped into gear. The man . still holding onto the handlebars, was dragged through the g

If people like a certain style & wish to mimick or even improve on what they have seen, then thats absolutely fine & I say 10 out of 10 for having a go. The point I'm trying to make is that if you have done all the hard work & given up your time to produce a piece of work that your proud of, why add somebody else's logo to your work. Why not develope your own logo & add that to your work.. 'Apprentice Bash2cool' That's my point ex

Astalavista XP, Longhorn & Vista! in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I’ve always thought that the reason you skin your desktop is to make it unique and less like the original OS style, so why is there so many XP, longhorn & Vista or Mac logo’s? Why make so much of an effort to completely change the way your desktop looks & feels only then to destroy it’s individuality by adding an OS logo? There are a lot of amazing, original & very creative pieces of work which have been produced by some very talented p

Reply to A Little More Appreciation Wouldn't Hurt You. in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I agree in part with A_67's post. it is good to know that your work is appreciated & there are bad apples in the crowd that will stab you in the back when they get the chance. another point I would like to raise is the response to comments when they are made. I've noticed that one or two of the 'big hitters' in the community very rarely respond to the comments that are made by the people downloading there work. I've noticed that on

Give me sound, (or not)? in OS Customization JoeUser Forums

There are many, many different ways of customizing your desktop with WB skins, WMP, Wallpapers, Docks, Clocks Calendars, complete themes any many, many other tools to help you build a desk top & give it it’s own unique personality. One thing comes to mind, All of the tools that are available on WC are visual & from my point of view one crucial element has been missed & forgotten about……… ‘SOUND’. Sound also plays a big part of a c

Should skinners update & rebuild or just build new? in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

Ok, here's my question for the community. I spend a lot of time looking at how my skins can be improved & updating original skins in the same way many other skinners tend to do. My question is, should skinners re-build & update their original skins or should we, as skinners, use our improved knowledge & improving skills on producing all new skins. It's good to see new skins being added to the library but then again, if you like a s

To create your own docklets - 'Download the Docklet SDK' in ObjectDock WinCustomize Forums

Ok, I've only been skinning for a short while, (WB Skins), & thought it was about time I turned my attentions to Objectdock. I've never used object dock before & at the risk of making myself look like a complete 'Plonka!', I have a couple of questions I need to put to the community. 1 : How do you make or import new backgrounds for your dock? when you go into the appearance window & drop the selections it doesn't give you the opti
