Reply to Questions re All-In-Wonder 128 Pro in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I can`t really speak for the AIW version, but I used the 128 pro for quite some time (now have a Radeon 7500), and I found that it worked quite well with the current versions of WindowBlinds. IIRC, it doesn`t support much, if any, of the WB acceleration features, but I`ve found the performance to be acceptable. Enjoy

I remember playing with WindowBlinds several years ago, back when it was fairly new (pre 1.0, IIRC). At the time, I used it and eFx, and became very interested in skinning windows (I had experimented even earlier with writing my own apps with custom buttons and backgrounds, but that went nowhere (I`m a pretty lousy graphic artist )). So, after trying (and pretty much liking) windowblinds, I subscr

Quite right moshi Except that even K can be made to look very nice. (just have to run screaming from the default themes). E17 is shaping up to be very cool. I''ve played with it a few times so far. It''s not my regular desktop yet, mostly because I haven''t had the time to get all of it set up. <b

It''s what I''m currently using on my Linux box It''s quite usable. (However, I''m a unix developer, so YMMV ) From a skinning standpoint, all of the graphical elements can be themed (probably not quite as much as WB, but not too bad). I think the biggest downside to the themes I''ve seen is that the

Jafo, Exploder! My sentiments exactly I've tried most of the alternative shells I could find in the past, and so far, I like Litestep and NS the best. Haven't played with LS in a while, last I tried, it was great when it worked, but I never really had time to chase down all the issues. Might check it out again soon. Right now, my desk is NS and WB (both w

Koasati sounds like an ad for NextSTART I stand corrected I tend to use the word shell to represent the primary UI of any sort (I consider explorer to be a shell, and NS, as well (in that sense)). Enjoy <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/hot.gif" borde

Ezio: Windowblinds and NextStart are intended to do two different things. NextStart is a replacement shell (replaces or supplements explorer, the usual shell). Since it's purpose is to change the entire interface experience, wallpapers and the like, usually being a part of that experience, are generally part of the theme, as well. Windowblinds is intended to change the look (and some behaviour) of the windows graphical elements (titlebars, menus, etc.). While some Windowblinds

You're correct about the engine issue. In the past, when it was my hobby to modify cars, the only real issue you had was to make sure that the new engine met the emissions standards for the year and make of car, and the state you lived in. And while it's a good idea to keep those numbers together, you won't automatically be suspected if you don't, it just places more of the burden of proof on you. But back to the MS issue. What I'm saying is that while MS, when pushed, will admit that all

Quoted from Microsoft's own page: "A. It is a legal requirement that pre-installed operating systems remain with a machine for the life of the machine. If a company or individual donates a machine to your school, it must be donated with the operating system that was installed on the PC. " While the prima facie intent may be to specify that if a donated pc originally had an oem version of windows, and if windows is still installed on the pc, then it must have the license, this state
