Reply to Neowin shut down by Microsoft in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

neowin has a note on the site now about the whole ordeal. "Yesterday at 12am GMT Neowin was taken offline when our provider received a "Demand for Immediate Takedown" order from a Microsoft contracted company that investigates illegal activity on the Internet for Microsoft. The email was sent to the provider and not to the Server admins that lease the server, IPS or Neowin -its fair to say this went 3 levels above our heads and 2 above IPS. Neowin and IPS did not have the chan

i really cant understand why neowin would be shut down. Theyre by far one of the better tech sites out there, and they certaintly follow the 'rules' better than most out there. Grief, some of Neowins affiliates alone commonly post links to questionable software downloads regularly

thats odd "Hello Brian, We've experienced a few hiccups with our recent server reconfiguration but it should be smoothing itself out. Regards," thats what I got when I emailed invision services. They really went out of their way to host Neowin, its hard to believe they would just give them the boot.

i think if you allow the original author upon submission to decide whether or not they want to have full control or allow users to freely submit changes, there would be no problem and would be a wonderful system.

Reply to Jasc has just released the Public Beta for Paint Shop Pro 8 in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

very nice. I like the inverted toolbar on the splash screen, wonder if thats an option or just eye candy

Reply to Public Beta for Paint Shop Pro 8 in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

they always put expiration on the beta. Usually there are a few, and before the expiration wears off they release another build. Layering isnt anything new WOM, it just looks a little different on the gui.

Reply to What program to apply .xptheme files in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

:sigh: the files in the zips are just the skins really need an edit/preview button

Reply to What program to apply .xptheme files in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

the files in the skins are just the skins, not the programs. You still need the individual programs to install them. Im my case, I use WB, Iconpackager, and Cursor XP. I tried the Sysmetrix but didnt care for it. Are using a preimum suite like toonxp/pixos, or something you downloaded of wincustomize?

Reply to What program to apply .xptheme files in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

"ssuming I'm right, it's probably a suite of complementary themes, but you won't know for which programs until you pull it into WinStyles. " Change the extension from *.xptheme to .zip and then you can install the components you like without using winstyles. I dont use winstyles, so thats how I installed the pixos theme I purchased.

i used mozilla for awhile myself, and while I never had any problems with rendering, it was just easier to open up IE. It's integrated into everything. I miss tabbed browsing, perhaps the next version of IE will support that feature
