Wow this is neat. Looks like it would be fairly easy to skin. I love the screenshot as background for minimized windows. I need two things before dumping the starbar entirely: 1. A start button 2. Systray

Reply to Tips & Tricks for running Windows XP reliably in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Something to try if your motherboard supports it and your ram can handle it..... In the bios set the CAS timing to 2. It might effect your stability if your ram is not decent quality. If your ram can handle it it will provide a significant speed boost. It effects how often your ram tells the CPU that it is busy. Your millage may vary. I tried moving my page file to a second drive. Even though it i

Reply to Message for Americans in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Did my duty as an American citizen. Not that I really voted on how I felt. I voted for who I thought might win and do the least amount of damage. It is a disgraceful attitude to have but we seem to be stuck with the system we have. I hate the two party system with a passion. I would rather have a system where I could vote for a party. Think of it like this. If there were 100 representative seats open and 10000 voters. If 5000 people voted for party X then X would send 50 reps. If party Y got 100

Poll problem in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

When I vote on the latest poll I get the message "Thank you for your vote" but the poll doesn't show results. It stays the same, allowing me to vote over and over again. I only voted a couple of times.

Reply to Re Iraq Poll in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I was watching a show about alternative sources of energy and global warming. It was made by tree huggers, but very interesting. They said that using the most efficient solar panels currently produced to supply the world with enough power to satisfy current energy needs about 90% of usuable land would need to be covered with solar panels. Currently only 5% of the earth's usable land is covered with farms. Same story for wind and organic(crops grown to produce energy). They showed the most effici

Reply to Re Iraq Poll in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Lets back up here. I seem to see several misconceptions. First, why do we need more UN resolutions? He has been flouting ones passed at the end of Desert Storm that allowed him to stay in power for almost 10 years. It was not a peace treaty, it was terms of surrender. What makes anyone think this will change? Second, he is working to build weapons of mass destruction. Should we wait until he blows one up? I think not. That would be like handing killers a gun as they walk out

1. Wincustomize is owned by Star Dock, maker of WindowBlinds. You don't go to a Chevy dealership and expect to see Fords for sale do you? 2. Are you sure you want to be hacking Window's files? You do realize that is all Style XP is don't you? There was a reason that MS closed the themeing abilities of XP. 3. Most of the good skins for Style XP are rips or ports of original WindowBlinds skins. 4. The differances between WB and StylesXp have been debated in several forum

Reply to WindowBlinds??? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

It changes the skin for windows. Think of how you can change skins for WinAmp. Now think about doing that to the entire Win envioroment. It doesn't really change the desktop, you would need the entire ObjectDesktop suite for that. 20$ for WindowBlinds 50$ for a year's subscription to the ObjectDesktop suite. WindowBlinds is included with it. http://www.windowblinds.net/

Reply to September 11th remembered in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

If they wanted to get our attention, I think it worked. They have managed to change America from a peace loving country to a raging wounded bear. I feel bad that all islamic countries/people are now viewed as possibly favoring what happened. I cried again as the list of names was read. I am un-sure how to express my anger. If the world wants to paint us as a bully, lets do it right. I think it is way over due to straighten out Iraq. <A HREF="https://www.wincustomize.c

Reply to Is Apple at a dead end? in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

This is not the first time I have heard that Motorola isn't developing anything for Apple. There have been rumblings that Apple is taking a serious look at going to the 64bit chip from AMD. There have been mixed reviews about how the chip will preform. Some are saying that the chip will really suffer in 32bit mode and others (including someone that managed to 'borrow' a refrence chip from a motherboard maker for a weekend) say that even in 32bit mode it will be faster by around 30% over the fast
