Hi ohjna, as you ,may have guessed from my friends' comments, it's alittle hard to tell you how to "install the file to your computer" when we don't know what file you're talking about. I think it's fairly safe to assume, it's a skin of some kind that you've found on the site, so I can at least give you some basic guidance. Any skin that you see here (with the exception of those in the Wallpaper, Graphics or Litestep section) will need to be applied through the program for whic

hmmm... that's a bit silly, considering that it now has a rating of 10, but is, I assume, too late to be a new addition. (either that, or it IS a bug). How about, seeing as we trust journeymen to upload work of a significantly high standard, their default rating is 6 or 7, rather than 5.

<possible bug report in top downloads?>? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Errr, dunno whether this IS a bug, or whether the top 10 download list is cached, but the latest Icon Packager addition is currently displaying a top 10 download medal, but is not displayed in the top 10 d/l list. I feel a bit of a fraud cos I'm the authour of said skin (What Is The Matrix?), but I AM reporting this as abug, and not cos I want to be registered in the top d/l list.

Well, as of Sunday, I've been married for exactly 6 months. Not long in the general scheme of things, but what amazes me is that the love mrs fof and I have for each other continues to grow. I know this is because we are getting to know each other better and better all the time, and that we care for each other more than words can express, and that I feweel pain like no other when I hear or see couples who love each other being torn apart, particularly through death.

Reply to Newbie Here..how do I.... in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

deb, are you talking about a skin from this site, or windowblinds the program? For any WindowBlinds(WB) skin to work from this site, you'll need WB, the program, available here: http://www.windowblinds.net in a demo version. If you already have Windowblinds installed, double click on the systray icon, go to the "themes section" and hit the install new skin button, browse to where your prevoiusly dowbloaded skin is at. Then it will appear in the list of skins, and you can selec

Well here's a kind of suggestion for Halooween: If you don't like the idea of celebrating a pagan ritual, but like orange and black and don't want to be a billy-no-mates on Oct 31st, have a tiger party! My friend had one once and we played all sorts of silly games based on tigers... (eg pin the tail on the tiger, find figgers hiddne treasure on a winnie the pooh map, all that kind of thing!

There is a pic of T-man wearing it, actually in the store page, which shows it off much better, perhaps replace the one in the right hand pane with that one?

There wwere some almighty religion/politics debates going on back then, and they continue today, and there is even one thread that is still running from back then I think...

Once again, you need the ICQPlus program from : http://www.icqplus.org/ It's the same for almost all skins, you'll need the actual program to go with it... All the programs have good documentation with them, detailing how to install, and make skins... enjoy.

Heh Javabrain that is the point.... the links AREN'T obvious! I mean, beside the one in the side bar, even the stardock link isn't obvious... think of all the potnetial business Stardock is missing out on. I was thinking about a FAQ in terms of the one that skinz had, a simple guide to what a skin is, the fact that you need the program to use the skin and navigation tips for the site if there was no chance of it being changed. I was thinking about the paragraph per app being a

Hmmm delete first instance of "I've" from above paragraph. But I also still favour the idea of a clearer link to external sites... (without wishing to bring up all the old portal stuff again....) Maybe we should put this thread somewhere more obvious so an admin sees it ... ppl are prob just ignoring it due to the subject heading - (no offence Neoen! - did you get going with skins>).
