Sort of like a flubber suit. They'll inflate to at least 3 orders of magnitude. So no worries there. The EPA and the CDC and the Hazmat people ain't got nuthin' on the CSBMBRA. Them's the ones you gots to watch out for. They do fungicides and septicides and infecticides and insecticides and spermiticides and spermicides too. Oh...and they do vermillicides and spagetticides. Just to be accurate. If they don't breed after all that stuff they ain't never goin' to. People won't either after so you gots to be really careful. And never ever point the barker at them. Not only will you scare the patoot out of 'em they might call in the Army and Navy Beanies. Then the s**t will really hit the fan. What a mess that'll make. All greenish/brown goo all over everything. And there's starkers standin' over to there laughin' him arse off.

More disquieting/disaster news re starkers 'emissions':

Um, John, where curried cabbage is concerned, it's called the DoNotLight Zone.

Now where do you keep getting these photos of me?  That one was taken just prior to leaving for a fancy dress party.... which ended up being a somewhat lonesome affair.

Yeah, my suit developed a slow leak and forgot to take my puncture kit.

The better question would be 'How much is my wife charging you for all of these pictures?'

You should see all the pix Shaunna sent me! Latest batch melted my screen.

Cos whatever she's charging I'll undercut it,

Ah, those must be the ones we've been experimenting on with smell-o-vision.... yup, pretty much melt anything.

Took down 2 or 3 satellites also!

Po'.....lovin' your artwork.... 

Not only did it take down those satellites Doc but did you see the latest pix Casini sent back from Saturn. Monstrous neon electrical storms raging across the surface. There was an unsubstantiated report of a shockwave emanating from the direction of starkers domicile traveling at forty four percent of light speed headed straight for the outer planets. No explanation from nasa was forthcoming despite attempts by the media to batter down the 4 foot thick steel doors of the underground fallout shelter they were forced to retreat to after hearing the infamous starkerbark.

Not only that, I heard it delayed the space shuttle take-off inmdefinitely.  Apparently, the air above Cape Kennedy (well it wasn't air anymore, was it) was so think it would have slowed the take off by 2000%.... that the opposing forces make have actually had the shuttle going backwards, burrowing through the Earth snd coming out in the Simpson Desert here 'downunder'

Um, that wasn't me!  I'd like to claim credit for it, but no, I was not responsible for that one.  A meteorologist friend of mine explained that all the hot air spouted by politicians worldwide was responsible for global warming, the he and several of his colleagues had been collecting it, compressing it and lasunching it into space.  Apparently the craft carrying the compressed bullshit was hit by a meteor while passing Saturn, thus causing the largest explosion in recorded history... probably the largest since the 'Big Bang"

But oh yeah, how I'd love to be able to claim credit for that one... to go down in the history books as the one who orchestrated the second 'Big Bang' and expanded the universe 10-fold.

     The largest explosion in recorded history only happened 12.1 billion years ago. That's 12.1 billion light years from here. You sure you didn't do it. Seems to me I recall mention, however obscure the observation, of a black on blue flubber suit in the vicinity of Abel '69' with a streamer of greenish/brown stars burning most ferociously causing the greatest galactic collision ever sighted between four, count 'em, four super clusters of galaxies.

      An abberation they thought was on Hubble's mirror turned out to be a smudge what traveled the distance at supraluminal speeds and smacked into Hubble's eyeball. What do you think the latest repair mission was all about. The astronuts had to bring up to there a super duper cleanser with quilted absorbent toilet tissue to clean it all up. The astronuts had to use 189.463 rolls which drove inflation through the proverbial roof!!

     Nasa is still trying to figure out how whoever did IT...did IT. Speculations abound and rebounded so muchly that they rounded up all the gaseous politicos and held them incognicios 'cause they didn't know what else to do with them. They didn't want to hear that starkers did IT 'cause...'cause them dunt believe in flubber suits what can traverse all that distance way over to there. Stupid them...haha. We know betterer...right??

"starkers takes down 2 satellites"

"Australia Tests New Missile vs. North Korea"

White box with a red X in it. BK doesn't do pix so good. Have to wait till tomorrow when I can access the library's 'puter.

I'm sure it's a good one...lol

I hate buttons almost as much as I hate skinhit.

Ahhh...howz the Start Button?

I'm not sure.

Dare I ask...."Who's ass posed for the start button in my private messages?'

I was thinking more of a head of cabbage. I will probably change the taskbar as well. I don't like the vista-fx on that one.

I have come up with a name for the dark blind....

'Mr. Cabbagehead's Tasmanian Black Cabbage'.

By the way, in case I forgot to mention it..there is a start button with a picture of an ASS on it in my private messages.

I didn't send it.... can't be mine anyhow, they haven't come up with a wide-lens yet that'd do such a wide shot...

.... even in panorama and joining several together.

Same here.... cos if you use an ass you'd have to have the obligatory animated gas cloud every time you pressed it, which could be difficult.  Not only could the mechanics of it prove bothersome.... I dunno I can produce that much gas on a daily basis for millions of PC's. worldwide.

Not everyone clicks their start button just once per day, so there could be a huge logistics issue in delivering said gas in required volumes via USB aerosol... as was first suggested.   I'd have to up gas production considerably, and that would most likely entail adding chili to the recipe, which would mean thrice daily applications of Vaseline to my sore ring....

..... and I don't wanna give the gay guy next door any notions that I'm flirting with him.

I suppose, though, it could work if we could develop a USB vacuum that'd suck it straight from the atmosphere... then all I'd have to do is stand on the roof on a windy day.

I heard about that.  I heard you went to his favorite bar or something and now your favorite song is 'Stranger In Paradise'?

Hmmm, it seems you have spies everywhere.

Thing is, I'm not totally insensitive, and I went to HIS fav bar so as not to hurt his feelings.  Must admit, tho, it was a huge mistake... I'd never seen one that big before.  Yup, this bar stretched as far as the eye could see... and it was filled with guys all wanting to buy me a 'pink' gin.

Fortunately, I got out before the male stippers came on and peeling off to "Strangers in the Night".... I mean, it's not a song I'd rush out and buy, but at the same time I didn't want to be put off it forever.

Another thing I noticed while I was at the club, there were $20 bills superglued to the floor... wonder why that would have been.

Not from me either. You should probably frame it...you never know. Anyway...tell the Aussie who pulled the trigger his aim is a bit off. A little more to the left will get the leader square in the pink bullseye pasted to his backside.

BTW......the glow on the left side of the top pic......attributed to the glare of a sattelite blowing up off in the distance.

To date...this is the fiurthest I have ever gotten.

I changed the taskbar and buttons. I like 'em. May want to tweak 'em, but I am getting there.

Then I did the start panel. Now, I have read enough to know I SHOULD be going with something simple and square..but I can't. SO I put it all together and in the SKinstudio preview..it looks SWEET.

Then I try to apply it. Well....Windowblinds had a full blown spaz-attack. It refused to apply it. I should take this as a sign. Then I realize it won't let me apply ANY skin. Another sign. SO I restart the PC. SOme random skin has been apploed in restart. I go to MY skin and apply it.

This is why I only ever get so far with this stuff.

I KNOW it's because my start panel is so wrong to begin with..but I am guessing I don't have it split up right? I am open to comments from the Pro's on this. I will probably be seriously medicated by the time you respond but I will be waiting.

Well, I got tired of waiting. Here's what I have now.

Don't ask me WAHT I did or HOW....

It looks 'better' but  it's SO BIG. I'm sure it's a laughable nightmare the way I have it done in Skinstudio to make it work.

  thats cool po just what starkers needs his own blind you know

its going to his head we will never hear the end of it

Double check the 'extra' tab for each part. the size for the parts should match the actual size of the image. If you have the height set too big, it can stretch your start menu like that.

Another thing to check would be your text margins for the 'item mouseover'. Set the top and bottom text margins to zero. If you have them set too large, it will stretch the start menu too.

I thought the curried cabbage bark was my own, but with the way this WB is shaping up, it looks like the secret will get out and thousands... even millions will share in its glory.  

Thanks to Po`, the cloud will spread.

Thank your lucky stars it's going to my 'head'.... elsewhere and you'd never smell the end of it.    

Xiandi, a huge thank you from the bottom of my heart for the tips/advice you're giving to help Po`.  Your support, I'm sure, is appreciated by many fun-loving WCer's who'd love to see this WB and associated skins come to fruition... Po` especially.

Po`, you have taken on this project out of the goodness of your heart, and for that I want to thank you. You're doing a marvellous job and I applaud your efforts and determination in difficult circumstances, as I'm sure other community members do also.  Most commendable indeed.
