Looks very interesting. I've got my old PC laying around doing nothing. I need to get everything off of it and then I may install Zorin on it. What problems have you encountered so far Ken? Did you go with the free version or the paid? Inquiring minds want to know! [/quote] Jim is correct, I went with the free version, I wanted to try it first before I bought it. Besides a lack of themes, I am not sure what other restrictions there are. I like

[quote who="neone6" reply="43" id="3756378"] Just drop it already [/quote] Why? if the thread is kept civil and people can learn something from it then why drop it? I guess that is not up to me though and there are mods here that can decide that.

I went back over this and I feel that the op might have been misunderstood, I don't believe his intentions was to take someones skin and make subtle changes and reupload it as his own, perhaps a better explanation of intent would have prevented hard feelings. I am not going to get into the attidude thing but to say that we all can have an attidude at times when we are misunderstood and attacked, at least I can so perhaps I should only speak for myself. Cooler heads need to prefail here

Perhaps a little tact can go a long way but people often respond accordingly to the spirit or what is being said more than the actual words that are typed or spoken. Sometimes the dos and don'ts of skinning can be confusing, correct me if I am wrong but I always understood that open source applied more to the program, not peoples skins of an open source program. For example, you can take rainmeter and modify it but you cannot take someones rainmeter skin and change a few things and then

[quote who="mikali" reply="22" id="3756222"] Anyway, I don't want to work with such morons. Bye! [/quote] That is not a problem because with your attitude no one will want to work with you either. You come across as a know-it-all who thinks he is better than anyone else and that is unfortunate but not surprising, the world is full of know-it-alls that do not want to listen to people who really know what they are talking about.

[quote who="Iben" reply="22" id="3753611"] I have found Google useful over the years and sometimes those search result links are better than bookmarks. [/quote] Why do you need to chose one over the other? I have both because my home page is set to google .ca, whatever I type in the search box it remembers until I delete my search history. I also find it convienient to have my most visited sites in my bookmarks bar.

I am giving Firefox a try, I have it set up the way I like but I had to exluded windowblinds from skinning it because my tabs were not closing, it works fine if excluded.

[quote who="ALMonty" reply="11" id="3753203"] Mine is showing 17 apps open where yours is showing 8, but your using more memory than I am. If I open Chrome on my laptop the fans begin to spool up doesn't do it with IE. [/quote] 425mb of memory is nothing when you have 16gb installed and that is not much for today's computers, there are people here with over 32gb of memory. If you are using an old computer with not much memory it might be a problem.

[quote who="ALMonty" reply="9" id="3753195"] Chrome is a resource hog even when you shut it down it still runs in the background just open your task manager. People complain about bloat ware on their computer and still use Chrome. I use Edge and IE (and yes I have Chrome installed as a backup). I never understood why people use so many browsers on their computer when they all do the same thing. [e digicons]o_O[/e] [/quote] Maybe on your computer, not

I was using Brave which is built on the chrome engine but is suppose to be more secure, I say was because after I updated from Windows 7 to Windows 10, Brave does not seem to want to load web pages. I was using the most current build and even tried the beta but no luck, Chrome works but not Brave. I might go with Firefox or Opera but I do like that Chrome remembers your favorite sites, whatever computer I install it on I have my favorites in my favorites bar after signing in.

A nice alternative is xWidget. xWidget has tons of weather apps and there is even one that someone made that looks and functions the same as the weather docklet for objectdock and uses the accuweather feed. https://www.deviantart.com/jimking/art/Weather-Docklet-for-xwidget-796826837 <img src="https://cdn.stardock.us/forums/39/20/3920650/c5f94b8b-8385-4ba1-9c1f-28071886c6a7.jpg" alt="" width="1245" h

[quote who="DaveRI" reply="13" id="3747973"] [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e] I never know what to tell anybody about hard drives, and I never know what to believe from the purchaser reviews. My old WDs have been good to me though. [/quote] I don't know what are the most reliable but it seems like if you want something more quiet the WD drives are better than Seagate.
