Reply to IconForge now available as a FREE download. in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

It appears according to the article that the current version of IconForge is 6. The 4.92 must be a somewhat older version as it appears to not have XP features. But I bet it is still one hell of an editor.

Your welcome werewolf. If one shows great benevoulence, does not one deserve to be titled Deity? Even if one is a hairy deity

Reply to New Members - Suggestions in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Most definately. anyone who's UserID has less then 4 numbers deserves the status of deity automatically. I would like to nominate werewolf for deity as well.

werewolf, the userid is a good indication of length of membership, but not a precise indicator. I know by the number 829 that you have been here since about the begining, but based on the number 218859 how long have I been here? 1 year, 2? 6 months? Being a db kinda guy, I'm betting that that the member since info is stored somewhere. I know if it were my db it would be.

Reply to Poll: How many wb skins have you got on your hard drive? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Quick count here shows me having 40+ I routinely winnow down the number on my machine. I like to change up the skin at least once a day or more. I will remove the ones that I haven't used for some time unless I know I will use it again. I am anal-rentive about the space used on my hard drive. I hate to see less the 1GB free. But as to the original question, can the WB folder get to full and affect performance? I think MikeB hit it on the head. The more you have the longer it ta

Reply to Is it worth me getting Object Desktop?? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I am a recent upgrader from WB3 to ODN. I have zero regrets. Look at things like IconPackager, Window FX. These are simple to use programs, but things that once you try you want want to do with out. Now add up the price of all these programs. All together it's close to $60. BUT, you get all of them and more with an upgrade to ODN for $35 It's a definate bargin, and you will wonder why you ever used windows without them.

I rarely use my cell, either while driving or sitting on my couch. I HATE PHONES! They are a huge intrusion into my life. But, if my cell rings while driving, I generally wait until I get to my destination to return the call.

Another oddball off-the-wall suggestion. On the Author Info page, along with the Author, Nick, UserID info, include a Member Since field. That way you can tell just how new a person is.

I like your CAD analagy. I'm a CAD/GIS Administrator and I spend 80% of my day with AcadMap 2000i. I've been a CAD user for over 12 years. I remember the beginings of AutoCAD. It has definately grown in to much more then a 2d drafting package. All of the individual pieces, plugins, make it a complete package for design of everything from a single cog to an entire city.

I wish I had said that. What would really help is exactly what you say, a way to differentiate between new users and floaters. I really think that 'Registered Guest' is a more polite term then I would apply to someone, so I say go with that. Then the next level up, 'Citizen'. And finally 'Deity'?

I just recently purchased the upgrade fom WB3 to OD and I am unbelievable happy with it. Not only do you get the WB upgrades, you get the full versions of things like Icon Packager, WindowFX and other things that aren't available for purchase seperately. Hate to sound like a broken record, BUT, get it, you won't be sorry.

I am running W2k @ work (XP @ home) and am wondering if anyone has 3.9 running on 2k? I haven't tried it yet because the CM says it's for XP only(at this time). Anyone?? Should I be the guinea pig?

Thank you werewolf in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Just wanted to update you on the status of the little problem I had. I have been in contact with the good folks at Stardock, and they have made things right. I went ahead and upgraded my WB3 to ODN. It's the best $35 I have ever spent. I now get to use all the other little stardock progs that I tried out and liked. If anyone else is on the fence about spending the money, do ahead and do it. You won't hate yourself in the morning for it. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/imag

Oh yeah, XP... Are you asking about the My Computer, My Music, My Documents, Network Connections, etc. icons? Yeah you can't change those either... sucks don't it?

Reply to Icons How do you in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

To the best of my knowledge the icons I assume you are refering to are the ones under the programs section of the menu. Windows doesn't provide you with a way to increase the size of those icons. However, you can trick your eye into seeing them larger by using some ridiculously low screen res like 800x600. But who wants to do that?
