Reply to Totally Pointless Feature Poll. in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

1) Middle Click 2) Dunno, I change colors all the time. At the moment I'm going through a purple phase. 3) Hmm, Sometimes I can use the same theme for more than one day, and days like to today I've lost count. I'm restless. 4) There is by definition no perfect theme. Thats what makes this an attractive hobby/obsession/lifestyle. I read this somewhere,

Not only that, but its actually featured in the Newsletter. --------- If you can remix techno music, why not skins? First made by Treetog, the skin Sputnik caught the eye of Bono Vox. He changed a few things, tweaked a couple of buttons and presto! The skin was reborn as Spunkit. Take a look at this metallic masterpiece and see if you like it better than the original. --------- And this is from Nullsoft themselves... Lovely. Coolplayer here I co

You're always right Jafo. But you're forgetting one important point; I'm lazy. ... Nah not really, It's just that I'd like a consistent look. Besides, I've now got it in my head that I want to write this little program. Even if it doesn't get used.

crae, on the comment popup window, there is no status bar. Alex, the icon is cool, but maybe next to it you could put the text of the url. Like: [icon] [url] Instead of: [icon] link. Just my 2 cents...

Try this program. Not only does is allow you to modify the system colours, it gives you finer control and allows you to change colours that the standard control-panel applet doesn't. Plus it comes with a bunch of cool schemes. heres the http://http://jotenet.jaceherring.com/ hmm, they seem to be down for the moment, but you can get it from Tucows: http://www.tucows.com Hope this helps.

What I meant was, a spiff mock form with all the controls in their various states, all nice and together in the right proportion read for alt-prntscn-ing.. Anyways, this sounds as if it could be fun to write, and I'm going to give it a bash. Even if I'm the only person that'll end up using it. Sorry 'bout the sulky previous post.. bad day..

Alexandrie, would it not be possible to use the new url gfx, but preserve the orginal url text. I say this for two reasons; 1) windows like the comment form don't have a status bar, making it impossible to see where the link is pointing. 2) [minor nit-picking point ] it is obvious from the image which type of link it is, so this would be a cool spot to put the location. You're

Skinshot tools. in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I'm just curious, but what, besides SkinStudio, do you guys use for your skinshots. I tried doing it manually, and it just sucks. I also thought of making a mock form in Delphi, but Delphi seems to have some non-standard drawing, (kind of like the IE scrollbar thing). Hmm, the thought has crossed my mind that maybe I'm just lazy, but I want to spend time on the skin, not the skinshot.

Oi, iMike. Leave 'em BeOS ports alone. If Be carry on the way they do, that might be all we have left. Seriously now, I've only seen one decent BeOS port, and that was by EFIX. I do, however, agree with you on the aqua epidemic.

I totally agree with crae. I'm also pretty sure that if such a thing were to happen; the human race would adapt. I think we'd probably become litrally slower. We'd all become zen masters of a sort. A few of us would probably go insance and destroy ourselves, but humans show a distinct ability to adapt. Hmm, I wouldn't mind that at all.

Reply to Napster and sour grapes in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Hmm, probably gonna get my butt kicked on this one; but, considering the wealth of music out there in the world, I've found it very hard, (sometimes impossible), to find certain artists in CD stores down here in South Africa. There are two alternatives, Napster-type distribution methods [cheap], and having it specially imported [real expensive]. I'm not condoning piracy, but something definately needs to be done to make buying lesser-known underground artists. Basically, the point
