i fixed my problem by deleting the temp data for the message boards to make it redownload the message list That (almost) worked for me. The update got further along than before then took a dump and we''re back at square one. [Message Edited]

cool
Since nobody in this tread seems to "get the point" of my post, I'll simply refrain from participating in it further. My appologies for trying to help a fellow member make an informed decision. Won't happen again. :e.m::.
So much for attempting to "clear things up". Let it be known, for now and the future, that I will not be engaging in any contests of ego on these message boards. Especially when the ego(s) in question insist on the practice of regurgitating what has already been said as a method of argument. What was the point again? If we can not resolve to help each other instead of reinforcing our own self-importance as a priority, we are doomed as a race. Happy happy joy joy! <

Yeah. I kinda wish I knew the answer to this question as well since you brought it up. Anybody?
Not intending to start an argument here but most of the facts stated in this thread about how StyleXP works are not factual at all and generally just plain wrong. While it is true that TGTSoft and a host of individuals have either hacked uxtheme.dll replacements or patches that actively hack the uxtheme.dll already in you Windows System folder available, StyleXP does not modify any system files in any way. StyleXP installs a hack in memory *only* via a system service in order to fool Wi
The only way to get back into that user account folder is to log in as that user and since you've nuked that user you are pretty well out of luck. A computer forensics specialist might be able to retrieve your files but that'll probably cost you $$$. Next time back up your files before doing something major like reinstalling Windows. Sorry for ye olde badde news. :e.m::.
I believe you can assign icons to your heart's content with the free/shareware version of IconPackager but you can't save your icons in a distributable "package" which is the primary limitation on most of Stardocks's shareware versions of everything... or so I believe. Hope I've been helpful. :e.m::.
IconDeveloper does not assign or change icons. To do that you will need to use IconPackager. IconDeveloper is just what it's name implies. It's a tool for creating icons. It does not apply them to your system. :e.m::.
There is indeed a simple scroll bar that needs to be skinned in LogonStudio. The scroll bar appears when the user list is longer than the screen's pixel height. I imagine not many people ever see this. :e.m::.
User IconPackager to assign all the custom icons to their respective Windows icons then save it as a package from IconPackager. :e.m::.
It's just that way-yonder back I played with ActiveDesktop quite a lot Experimenting with it as a way of customizing the desktop. It's my experience that ActiveDesktop, while potentially flexible, causes more headaches for people than satisfaction. I personally don't know anybody who's actually used ActiveDesktop more than once or twice before deciding it isn't worth it and moving on to something more resource friendly. Personally, I don't understand why Microsoft keeps this feature al
I'm stumped then. :e.m::.
Are you using ObjectDesktop or did you purchase the various programs individually? :e.m::.
Many graphics programs such as Paint Shop Pro and Adobe Photoshop have facilities or specific commands for producing "bevel" effects which is what you are describing. Check your software for this. It's a pretty easy effect to produce by hand as well although this space is hardly conducive to a tutorial length post. There are dozens of art websites providing information on how to make beveled effects. Try google. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/smile.gif" border=0 ALIG
Actually, that would be pretty easy to do with some DHTML on an active desktop. I think the bigger questions would be: a - what's the point? b - why use active desktop? :e.m::.
You can also use a graphic. :e.m::.
Complete themes or "suites" that encompass interface elements such as icons, cursors and other specialty skins can not generally be applied with Windowblinds alone. Windowblinds is only responsible for changing window, taskbar and start panel styles. You will need the respective programs to skin other parts of the interface such as IconPackager for the icons. Furthermore, prepackaged themes usually require something like WinStyles or ThemeManager to apply the entire suite at once (but s
bummer
...sigh... Thanks for the all the help, ppl.

I think WindowFX has a setting related to this topic. Check that out... e.m::.
oooooh... neato!!!
Does anybody know what's going on at Stardock with ObjectBar development? Seems like it's basically parked. Is DesktopX supplanting ObjectBar? e.m::.
Here's the situation; I make a UIS2 skin with a normal looking Start Panel. I want to make a substyle with a compact Start Panel so I choose to duplicate the current skin without copying the graphics since they are all exactly the same. All I want to do is change some of the metrics of the Start Panel. I edit the start panel in the newly created substyle to my liking and save it. POW! When I load up the original skin and/or apply it, BOTH the original skin and the subs
