Burned out before the 25th? I've been burned out since a bit before Halloween when the stores first started putting up the Christmas decorations... Though I do have to admit the local power co must love people like the one in the vid... :)

Reply to CURSOR FX in Stardock Software Stardock Forums

Sticking as in how? Rather than uninstalling try this. Go to My Desktop and 'right click' on Cursor FX - then left-click on 'verify'. Once that is completed(and I'll assume it comes back as 'not installed correctly) left-click on 'reactivate'.

Reply to wallpapers not shown on wallpapers in Wallpapers WinCustomize Forums

As one with a smallish bit of experience with the 'not quite right' end of the stick I'd suggest you just accept it as a learning experience and move on to your next attempt. I try to remember, when it comes to those that judge our submissions, that 'not every blossom is a rose' (IOW, beauty is in the eye of the beholder) and try to be a little more self-critical when I render my next potential submission. Also, I delete the reject

Reply to BootSkin Pro in OS Customization Stardock Forums

[quote who="DigitalCHET" reply="3" id="1942594"]Oh wow.... Will this work for both Vista and XP?? [/quote] Apparently "Bootskin Pro" is a Vista-only app? Tried to dl it and got an error message 'not compatible with your system'... If it is Vista-only it'd be kinda nice if good ol' StarDock would come out with an updated version of the XP Bootskin for those of us who are Vista challenged. Hint, hint... :)

Reply to Custom Plus/Minus Indicators for ObjectDock in Docks WinCustomize Forums

That was the odd thing. I had the plus/minus in the same folder as the actual dock, but not in the primary 'background' folder. They weren't added to the dock in that case, but if I moved either the actual dock folder, or just the plus/minus in their own folder named the same as the actual dock, into the primary 'background' folder they did work. Must just be a quirk with ObjectDock.... Thanks for the help. Greatly appreciated...

FWIW, I render three sizes (2560x1600 (Widescreen 16:10), 1600x1200 (Fullscreen 4:3), and 1280x1024 (Fullscreen 5:4)) if I'm doing an image that will be a screen-wide WP. If I'm doing a single-image that's not screen-wide (IOW, a 'centered/offset' single image or a multiple image composite) WP I render the image(s) at 1600x1600 (the largest size needed) and compose/resize down from that. 2560x1600 covers screen sizes 2560x1600, 1440x900, 1920x1200, 1680x1050, and 1280x800. 1600x1200 cov

[e classic]:congrat:[/e] [e classic]:congrat:[/e] OK. so you shouldn't use the 'non-tabbed', 'tabbed', 'tabbed only' , and 'tiled' folders that are automatically setup by ObjectDock on installation? Will give it a try. Tnx much WebGizmos!!!

[quote]but this is my Question the 6 that did not make the mark are not in my Gallery did WC change it.[/quote] I can't speak to that part of your question, but would make a suggestion - don't 'slam' the catagory with 10 images at a time. It seems that logic would dictate that you'd have a much higher chance of success by ul'ing just a couple of your very best at a time. Also, perhaps, try to be a little more discriminating when self-evaluating you
