Reply to Rejection Notice Understanding in Community WinCustomize Forums

VistArtXPosed The site is full of skins that contain elements and even images comparable to the skin you think should not be allowed. Some of the car based blinds come to mind. I am no expert in Copyright laws but I believe the skin or skins in question are considered fan art. I do not understand what the distinction all involves but I am sure someone here could explain it. I bel

Glad you all liked my shot. I had no idea who this woman was until I checked out the name of the photo. It is none other than Nicole Scherzinger. One sexy lady I think even though I know nothing about her other than being the lead singer of the Pussycat Dolls. Not something I have ever listened too but I am a fan now ;)

This may be a stupid question but do not motorcyle dyno's monitor everything you want to be able to do? I am just wondering if it is possible to use a good dyno software and sensors on a smaller scale using that laptop you are talking about? Would be a lot easier then building something from scratch.

Reply to CursorsFX show default window cursor when showing taskbar thumbnail (win7) in Object Desktop WinCustomize Forums

Well I guess we will just have to disagree on this one. To be honest I had not even noticed that until you mentioned it. It is after all the only time you see the default cursor. I would never stop using cursorfx because of that small issue. I like being able to change my cursor easy instead of doing it manually. It is not the only issue cursorfx has. For myself and many you have to apply the cursor twice to get it to work. I know that when we pay for something we expect it to work flawlessly

Reply to The floods are near in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

The 35 centimeters of snow and strong winds we just received here in Edmonton pale in comparison to what you people are experiencing down under. With snow you can plow and shovel but with flood waters there is little that can be done but wait for the waters to recede. I hope everyone is able to stay safe in the effected areas and our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Reply to CursorsFX show default window cursor when showing taskbar thumbnail (win7) in Object Desktop WinCustomize Forums

I do not find that a big deal and actually I prefer it because the taskbar open windows previews are small and some cursors are on the large size unless you resize them in the settings. It only makes sense to me that a smaller window would call for a smaller cursor which the default cursor is. To say it is ugly means you find the default cursor ugly which you can change without using cursorfx.

"also could the mods move this thread to somewhere more applicable? im not sure im targetting the kind of audience/traffic levels im aiming for." I am not sure moving it to a different place within this site will help. Perhaps I am wrong but it appears that what you want done is no small feat. Most of what is dealt with here has to do with desktop customization. If I could help you I would and even do it for free but this is way out of my league. Good luck to you. &n

[quote who="ejohanne" reply="154" id="2864220"]JC, the wall image is by Gediminas Pranckevicius, first place winner of the NVArt 4 Surreal competition. You can find his beautiful work at CGSociety.[/quote] Thank you. I knew nothing about the wall except that I downloaded it from wallbase.net. Now that I know who the author is i will look for more of his work.

Ok I got it to work but I had to do this. I downloaded the texture and saved it to Desktop. I changed the extension from .wba to .zip. I extracted the 2 files. I opened the texture file and noticed that the texture names where ZubraStripes3. I also noticed the tga file name was only ZubraStripes without the 3. I changed the name of the tga file to ZubraStripes3, ziped them back up and then it worked fine. I do not know how other are getting this to work because the 2 files have different name

There are no shortage of Bald Eagles here in Canada, especially in BC and from my home Province of Nova Scotia. They use to gather in great number in my town because of the chicken processing plant. I guess they have an apatite for chicken guts so they are not to proud, lol

"Wow. That skin and that texture do NOT Go well together. The Mozzy Brick one does OK though." I thought the same thing Zubaz. By the way I cannot even get that texture to work. I posted a comment on the texture page with a link to the ss.

Reply to Mac vs. PC 2011: Elegance vs. Efficiency in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

This is a well written article but there is one thing that is not taken into consideration. That is the cost. I think most people will put up with the problems that plague the PC considering you can buy a laptop for a fraction of the cost. I understand you get what you pay for but I have not had that bad of experiences using PC. I find if you treat them right and be careful what you install or download they will serve you quite well. perhaps I am the exception but I can get 5 years or more ou

Yes that would go lovely with it I bet. You know this is off topic a little but I really wish we could see more skins like this https://www.wincustomize.com/explore/windowblinds/6410/ I like things with an industrial feel. Things like metal and rust and that sort of thing. One of the reasons I like that blind is because of the start menu shape. Most of the blinds made have the standard square shape. Those ar
