I uploaded a screenshot a few days ago. It got a rating of 8 so it showed up. But 3 views and a rating of seven, and it dropped out of sight. But what are you going to do. It will get fixed when its fixed. Until then its pretty much a cripped section.

Some of the icons in explorer are controlled by the way the explorer shell interacts with windows. When you replace the shell, you can't overide and change those items (not without a direct registry hack anyway). Been that way for a while now A poor reason not to use Litestep tho

Creezpy, if your really determined to go further with Litestep, HG_Eliminators' advice is the way I would go. Litestep will replace your start button and give you the right click popup menu. So find a Litestep theme you really like (and works ok for you). The "theme.rc" file in that theme is the key. By changing that file you can change the functionality of the theme. You will have to read some of the documentation to understand what to change in that file. The Liteste

IMHO There was a certain amount of poetic licence taken for sure, but as a whole Jackson managed to capture the books extremely well. I was left at the end of the third movie feeling the same as the novels left me. The movies are an amazing accomplishment of translating a difficult literary work to the big screen. If the movie(s) don't capture some critical acclaim in the form of awards; there is no justice (box office recipets aside <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/jo

OTS2 is the most recent Litestep theme format. If you've been using lsz files you likely have installed Litestep with the OTS2 installer. lsz files will only work with that version. So in other words it sounds like you're up to date. Now there are a ton of other Litestep themes packaged in the zip format. If the theme calls itself OTS2 compatible, than you should be able to install them with the theme-installer that comes with the Litestep OTS2 installer. But most of the z

Reply to Are Mac users better skinners? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Macs still have a huge presence in the printing industry (in north Amwerica at least). Photoshop, Illustrator, and Quark Express (indesign and pagemaker to a lesser extent) are the program staples and although they all have PC versions, such a history has been built up in terms of training and usage; it's easier for many to keep the status quo rather than jump over to the pc platform. As well, so many graphic houses work on macs, that when it comes to receiving files from othe

Some intersting thoughts there BakerStreet. For sure the proportion of skinners vr users is much higher in the mac world due to the fact the graphic designing industry practically kept the mac alive singlehandedly for many years. For that reason the chances of more high-quality skins "per capita" from the mac world is more likely. On the other hand the research and development balance tips so heavily in favor of the pc's, I think in the end that will the deciding facto
