Reply to Trillian 7.1 in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I've been using it since .70 came out running XP and haven't had any problems at all. Much improved over .65...no major improvements, just much more stable and refined. Haven't tried .71 that was released today, looks like the only major new feature is group chat which I doubt I'd ever use. Not a whole lot of skins that are totally compatible with .70 and up yet, but there are some really good ones. Even the default skin is very nice, much better than the old default.

Reply to The StyleXP part is over? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I've been all over TGT and every other "stylexp" site for the past few months and have never seen anything about StylesXP being shareware, Only Stylebuilder. Granted, they never out and out said it was freeware, but they've let everyone believe that it would be free for months now. They have right to charge for their "program" if they choose, just don't let everyobe believe it's going to be free when it's not. There have been several threads on several boards where discussion of StylesXP have

Reply to What's the deal with WB3 and WB2 skins? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Unless there is some kind of filter or a flag in the description for a skin, I think it's a good idea to have a seperate section. I know that you can use the XP taskbar/start panel on any skin, but I'd still rather have a fully unified WB skin that skins everything. Thus, I really want to know which skins are optimized for XP before I bother downloading them.

Reply to Is it really free vs. non-free? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I'm probably way off base here and if I am so be it. I've been a user of skins and frequenter of skin sites for about three years now. I've only been actively posting and making minor contributions for about the past year, but am pretty familiar with all the players/thinkers on both sides of this issue (Brad, Shog, JC, treetog, alex, jier, 10c, jesh). It's always seemed to me that whenever these nazi, evil or moneygrubber issues come up that it's petty jealousy. Most of these people came int

Reply to Where can I purchase Pocketblinds and Dashboard? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

You should probably charge for it....if you don't it'll be viewed by that free beer crowd as a token attempt to please them by making a free app. I can just hear it now. "Oh....correction, you DO have one free application...a pocket pc app. Thanks for your contribution to the community Brad." You can bet that's what they'll say.

Rip Education in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I found another of alexandrie's skins (XP Copper) on ThemeXP.org....notified the admins....took forever to hear back but finally did....he took the theme down for now he says...but sounds like he may reconsider as he's not sure since it's a port if it constitutes copyright violation...he doesn't seem to be very familiar with this process and all involved....maybe someone a little more well versed in this sort of thing could talk to him to avoid future problems? Thanks!

Reply to Pixtudio strikes again! in WinCustomize News JoeUser Forums

It took me forever to d/l it but well worth the wait. However.....I truly hope that subsequent suites won't be more than $10, as that's about the max I could see paying for this sort of thing, though I will say that there aren't suites that I'd pay for besides pixtudio....well maybe if dangeruss put out a new suite

He still has a screenshot posted at DA saying it's charcoal recolored http://www.deviantart.com/deviation.php?id=103143 so I guess that settles it. Reported it to the admins there http://forum.deviantart.com/113470

I don't have XP Charcoal installed anymore and don't want to reinstall WB3 to check this out, so could someone else? There's a WB3 skin @ http://www.deviantart.com/deviation.php?id=106281 that looks to me like it's just a recolored XP Charcoal. I asked him about it and he said it's totally different, but I could swear he had a screenshot posted here called XP Blue and said it was just Charcoal recolored...but now it's gone. I think he tried to up the skin here last night...it was listed for a
