Reply to ObjectDock 0.95 & Video Demo! in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

I think this is a great dock. Certainly looks cool in use. I'd use the 'taskbar' part and do away with the XP taskbar _IF_ I could see the systray somewhere. Otherwise, I end up having to display the XP taskbar just to click on a tray icon, then hide it again. Also, it might be nice if Kkmenu's functionality were built in (although Kkmenu seems to work fine, apart from being a little time consuming to configure). Basically, what I want is the sexy zoomy graphics of ObjectDock,

updated date problem in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I'm doing a big round of updating. Most of these updates add XP and Shellstyles, so I class those as significant enough to reset the update date. After the first few I started to have problems with the date not resetting (on Simplex, Skink and now Pixel Nirvana). So, to try and resolve this, I deleted the originals and re-uploaded them. However, those skins now show up as the original date, with the original comments (and of course buried three hundred skins down in the archive

Feed the damn hamsters you're using in those servers! (I always use Guinea Pigs myself...) Somewhere there'll be a cable loose, with a little puddle of '0's and '1's slowly growing out of the end.

Hurray! Thank Neil. I'll try that out. It's my own fault for avoiding using SkinStudio. Does the same go for the PlacesList? (i.e. TileRight=1)

Anyone had a problem with this? I've set the left and right sides of the start menu (prog list and places list) to 'tile', but the images are still stretching. It is a striped image, so it looks pretty obvious. SkinStudio seems to think I can tile it, but it isn't doing in WB. ????

I've noticed on the odd occasion that some skins have an "if you would like to donate $x to me..." Paypal button against their designs. They are still free to d/l but are they classed as a commercial product or not? And I'm guessing that it's still ok to put a link to your own website on your own uploads, whether that's a commercial one or not?
