true, the most important thing is that you like it. The thing about the light source coming from the front though, is that the highlights would be closer to the middle/front and fade as it went towards the top and bottom. did I explain that right... not to good describing stuff like that.

yeah, that looks mostly like a white layer on top of a blue one, motion blurred and set to dodge with a few shadows and bevels added in to the rest of it. Overall it is a very good start, but Mike is right about the light source. It's a simailar style to the WBmania skins from a few years ago (I think that was the name). Anyone remember who did those?

But just think, with fewer people there would be less crime, fewer people would starve, the risk of spreading disease would decrease...... and really, there is so much more. Not saying that we should wipe out the entire human race or anything. Just that our life styles are causing a type of population control that isn't necessarily completely negative. The basic logic behind "smaller population=low economy" is that with fewer people there would be fewer consumers. But if you ta

Thanks guys. *s* Braniac, I just tried Iconoid. It doesn't do what I was hoping for, maybe it is a win 98 think. Don't know. Oh well. it's good for other stuff though. *s*

Thanks paxx *s* I've already done a couple of skins for my own use. I'm on a dial-up connection right now though, so I was wondering if it was actually worth the trouble to upload everything if I'm not also doing updates for WB4. Unfortunately I can't skin what I can't use.... so far, I don't think it's worth it.

Thanks guys. I don't need a tester. I was just wondering if it would be worth the effort to update the last few skins I did with a win 98 skin as a sub-skin. So far, I doubt it. *s*

how many people.....? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

How many people are still using win98? I was just wondering cause I just realized how awful some of the skins made just for Win XP look on an older OS.

I think the bigger problem is that there's no preview of the cursors themselves. Of course, adding the "ad" to the screenshot of the cursors is fine, I would think.

Removing branding from IE titlebar? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I found it once, but I don't remember where. I think it was a link someone posted here. Does anywhere remember where the program for taking the "IE provided by" branding off the IE titlebar came from? thanks in advance....

Reply to Don't Start What You Can't Finish... in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I'd say finish the WB skin first. You can always release that in time for the holidays, then add the icons later, or even save them for next year (sort of reminding everyone next year that the skin is still here).
