I think *bold* is easier to do than bold, and it's already part of normal message writing, so it's very intuitive.

Maybe that's the point, Crae.

Does ThemeBar do alphablending?

Reply to MultiZilla in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Bill: Not only will "web optimizing" features be turned off by default, but they won't be there at all. They were causing problems, so they've been removed for now. As for when 1.0 will be released, your guess is as good as anyone's. There have been a ton of beta updates lately, trying to nail down a few remaining (but serious) bugs. paxx: Blah! WindowBlinds doesn't do toolbars and throbbers! <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/grim.gif" border=0 ALIGN="abs

Good point, paxx.

Just noticed that Mozilla now has an optional tabbed interface, ala NetCaptor, dubbed MultiZilla. It works like crap here, but then, it's still alpha. I'm a big NetCaptor fan and am glad to see Mozilla heading in this direction. Incidently, WebBlinds 1.1 is also supposed to provide an optional tabbed interface to IE. (That is, if they ever get done with 1.0.)

My TarkuS-X Jr them is resolution independent. Unless your theme wraps all the way around the screen, it's not *that* difficult. And even if it does, it can usually be done with tiling.

Thanks for the replies. It looks like the table idea is probably the best for my needs.

Creating shadows in HTML in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I would like to create shadows to an image in HTML, on the fly. It has to be on the fly, because the image will change (though the dimensions won't). Can this be easily done?

Judging by the news item Frogboy just posted on the main page, I would guess that it's *very* close to a public beta. But again, that's just a guess.

That must be an old screenshot. An early version of Convergence had that bug, where it created two SkinPack tabs.

grimspoon: There's nothing forcing you to use DesktopX on top of Explorer. In fact, there's nothing stopping you from using it on top of LiteStep.

What CygnusXII said. I recommend downloading and installing the free program FavOrg. It will allow you to save them anywhere you want, and will stop them from being purged from your cache (which is why they disappear after awhile). www.zdnet.com/downloads/stories/info/0,10615,77423,00.html

Reply to how to tell which threads i have read? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

That's your browser telling you which links you have visited by comparing them to your history. If you clear your history, they'll no longer show as visited. That has nothing to do with WinCustomize, other than they determine the colors of the [non-]visited links.

Okay, that makes sense about memory compression. I agree that it doesn't sound like a very good idea for WB3. Do you guys have any WB3 skins completed in house yet? That is, complete skins that support the taskbar and Start menu?
