Reply to What happened to skin Moderation Lately??? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

wait a minute here!!! there have been numerous times i have tried to login to wc and gotten some sort of error message. every single time, i have waited 5 or 10 mintes and tried again. on each of those occasions, i have been able to log in on the second attempt. not once did it cross my mind that my account had been removed. systems have quirks. contrary to what some people may think, nothing in this world is perfect )except me, of course).

this entire thread, along with the others like it, amuse me to no end. i'd like to think that most of you folks are mature adults. maybe i'm wrong in that assumption. if i am and you're actually children, then i apologize. anyway, it seems to me that if a mature adult has a problem with the site, an email to frogboy or one of the moderators would be the approach to take. posting rants on a message board reminds me of when my kids were much younger and did childish things to draw attention. grant

Well, yes, he did spell all the words correctly. But he used the wrong word. In "I GUESS SOME PEOPLE HERE WERE BORN GREAT SKINNERS AND THEIR THE ELITE", the proper word to use is "they're". Sorry, but I had ot point that out. No disrespect intended.

Reply to Compact Start Menu in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

you'll need to use the latest and greatest version of skinstudio, joetheblow. in the 'startpanel' section, you'll want to change the width of the user pane and bottom bar images from 380 to the width you want. then, play with the width and margins of the programs and places panels until you get the desired look you're after.

Reply to CoughDrop for WB - please ! in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

the issue with porting Coughdrop, unless I'm totally off base here, is the fact that Coughdrop was created in-house by TGTSoft for their StyleXP program. Therefore, getting permission from them to port and release Coughdrop in a WindowBlinds format would be extremely difficult, if not impossible, to do.

Reply to How to fix "Pink" in the Start Menu ? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

yeah, if u want to remedy it so that the pink doesn't show for wb3.5 users, u'll need to eliminate the use of it for the mouse over effect. there are more experienced people than i who may have another remedy such as an easy workaround but i know of no other way to take care of the issue.

if it's the pink that shows on the mouse over, u can't get rid of it unless the end user upgrades to wb4. that is, unless u want to redo ur start menu btw, u may want to change the background and text colors in the control panel. that blue background doesn't blend too well with the grey graphic. cheers and have a great day!

Reply to where is shinobi hiding? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

moshi, why did i already know that you were the 'third party'? for your information, shalayer was asked long before i received permission from kevin. and yes, shalayer's permission text is in the wba file. so, before someone attacks me, i'd appreciate the person getting their facts straight. or would u prefer me to remove cappuccino also? as for shinobi, i had already admitted to everyone who needed to know that i had made a mistake and had misunderstood Kol. when the misunderstanding was eviden

Reply to where is shinobi hiding? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

wait a minute here, kol did grant permission, i sent the text from the email message concerning this to the appropriate person. after that, the skin was on wc. i removed it this morning ( or maybe it was last night ). if you could see some of the emails i have gotten concerning this skin, you'd understand why it isn't uploaded anywhere. wc mods held the skin in limbo until the permission text from kol was sent to wc personnel. after that, it was approved. it was me who removed it. <img src="http

my port of shinobi was permitted by Takashi also. it was based on Takashi's graphics and those in the visual style port by kol. each artist granted permission to use his graphics. but the skin was more of a hassle than what is is worth so i removed it from wc. smoke's port is a pretty good one. i suggest using it.
