thanks for those links Cavan - had earlier probs navigating to forum areas for some strange reason. i'm some the wiser, but it seems not alot applies to me at present, and as there's no obvious answers as to how it could affect OD, i'll give avalon as miss for the time being cos i fear messing up wot i got. if its not broken, why fix it, hey!
I've seen small snippets regarding MS Avalon but can find little information on it: what it does and how the Nov 2004 public release would affect XP sp2. Equally to the point, its possible affects on Object Desktop and other Stardock products. I'm all for enhancing my computing experience but am unsure on this one and want to play it safe, so if anyone here has tried it or can shed some light on it, that would be greatly appreciated

I downloaded trillian recently and found only one problem - it allows me to add a third user but it does not give that user access to MSN and Yahoo, only AIM and ICQ - tried reinstalling it but still the same. Would be nice to have full access for the third user, but other than that it works fine and does all else its supposed to. If anyone knows how to resolve this glitch, it'd be appreciated.
Sorry, Zero, but after another browse through the forum, i've changed my mind. There's no encouragement for me to contribute further when one seemingly impatient and intolerant individual has taken particular exception to my posts: whose comments on them has seemingly influenced more recent contibutors than I - contibutors who seemed happy to otherwise participate. So how old is too old for a thread, 1 month or 2? And if it's truly dead, why is it st
No worries Zero, I'm not upset, and yes, i will contribute other threads now I've caught up on all the old stuff. As for all the comments, well I guess I deserve them for being such a late arrival here and so slow off the blocks. In looking back, I can see a couple of subjects had been well and truly covered, but then I've seen other old ones with recent threads that also seem pointless, but then that's just my opinion. We're all entitled to our own
I take your point, Admin Jafo: and once again I apologise to all for ressurrecting ancient threads to be considered irrelevant by the majority. It was never my intention to inconvenience those who are too lazy to click on the more button. Thanks to Double Zero for pointing that out to me as I'd never have considered that my threads were burying more important opinions. However, whilst it was kindly pointed out that freedom of speech doesn't apply on
WOW!!!! I no sooner apologise to all for dragging out threads from The Dark Ages, and I stumble across a Jurassic Age one by admin Jafo, regarding Frank Zappa. Nothing unusual about that, hey, Double Zero. What is unusual, given the comments to my threads, is that there are replies to this 2002 one from as recently as April 2005, 3 years down the track. Personally, I see nothing wrong with that if people are still interested in the subject at hand
Sorry people, I've not long been visiting the forum and wasn't aware there was a time factor involved. When I see an article of interest, and its not ancient history to me, I sometimes like to reply with my own comments for the interest of those who might follow certain threads. In some cases there was relatively recent activity and I saw no reason not to comment. I can now see that frequent forum visitors want to move forwards, but what about in
said it before on another thread: if it's not constructive, keep it to yourself. you hit the nail on the head, fuzzy logic, manners on the net are a casualty of bravery from the other end of a wire, as is respect. the question is: would these critics be so vocal if they had to deliver the flaming in person? newbie skinners may lack the skills and experience of the old timers, but they obviously compensate with effort and desire, which is to be
I'm somewhat late here (nearly 6 months), but yeah, definitely Mozilla and Trillian skins, custom sounds and icons I note Fuzzy Logic's reference to Desktop Architect and wonder if Windowblinds could be modified to support custom sounds as did D.A., which applies the entire desktop from a theme package: with included walls, sounds, cursors, icons, etc. It's just an idea, but maybe Stardock could play with it to test its feasability without making
I'm of Anglo-saxon stock (a limey), but I now live in Australia and have not come across the problem the Canuck has. I have tried several weather widgets and found all to accomodate counties worldwide, including Canada where you know it's gonna be cold anyhow. So wots the prob, unless El nino takes a sharp turn your way? Could understand the need then. And I can't agree with beefbaby that yanks and canucks have the best relationship ever recorded
Hey Joe, surprises me you've not suggested a blog shutdown P.S. Don't take anything I say seriously. I'm purely jesting!! After reading your thread on a Wc shutdown, I j
Hey Jason, in my scool days, corporal punishment was the norm and teachers could express their frustration with you more easily than now, and just because one of mine gave me frequent bruisings with a dictionary until I could spell some, it don't mean I'm better than you. Truth be known, given my school days and cauliflower ears, you're most likely better looking as well. Apologise not, young man, you've nothing to apologise for. My daughter and
I totally agree, shotgun, that age is irrelevant here. I'm 53 and have a great respect for many younger than I who possess skills, intellect and wisdom that surpass my own. Perhaps it may not be to my own particular tastes, but if a 12 y.o. produced a work which showed ability, promise and potential, I would have nothing but admiration for them, perhaps a touch of envy, even. I'm not that artistic myself, and my computer skills are still rather limit
if we can change titles, i want the prefix: totally hey angel on ice, glad to see you're a happy camper again. hope your creative flair continues and we see many more of your works posted here.

Hey, fusion, the only gear you need to buy is Object Desktop at around 50 bucks, and from there you can apply pretty much all the skins on Wincustomize. There are some other 3rd party programs for which there are skins available, but you'd probably find earlier in your skinning life that you'll have more than enough to do with OD. I'm a newbie too, and still learning the basics myself, but yeah, go for OD and you'll never look back - I haven't
NO doubt, absolutely yes! Get the full package and you'll never look back. I'm fairly new to the skinning scene myself and have thoroughly enjoyed the full version of Object Desktop, having begun much as you have, with changing icons, cursors and wallpapers, etc. Upon discovering Stardock and Wincustomize, my computing experience has immensely improved and I could never go back to the basic Windows appearance. There's so much to learn here, but he
Night Train is right, you need the relevant Object Desktop programs first, then Theme manager to download and apply the suites. Found this out the hard and frustrating way myself, only when I had all the OD components could I apply the suites Hope this helps, starkers
Hi, Alphaomega, I'm fairly new to all this myself and still have much to learn, but I downloaded Objectzip from Stardock and the file self-installs to the Windowblinds folder. Whether or not this is the reason I'm not sure, but you could try it. Alternatively, when your download finishes, unzip it to C: (if that's your main drive)>program files>Stardock>Windowblinds. Hope this helps solve your problem Welcome to the community, skinning and the newb
