Under The Skin Ep5 Questions!

You know you have some...

Hey folks! CerebroJD and I will be recording the next episode of Under The Skin tomorrow night, and we're looking for your questions to answer about skinning. Well, it doesn't actually have to be about skinning (it could be about us, or other tech related issues), but we'd love to figure out YOUR question on the air.

Also, if you'd prefer calling into the show LIVE with Skype, send an email to UnderTheSkin@gmail.com and we'll plan accordingly.

So...fire away! And we'll try our best :)

What's the WinFX status for a version compatible with WB5?

I seems to me I remember seeing a thread which mentioned Right-Click was going to be updated soon (end of the month I think). What changed and did they put in a SAVE THEME feature?

Are there any plans to continue development on Enhanced Dialogs or is that one gonna remain beta?


Almost forgot....ObjectBar 2.0????
What kind of "copyright" guidelines will we have for the new "Sound" package program. Will TV/Movie/Radio clips be allowed?

When can we expect world peace?

Ok...let me make something clear....Justin or I do not work for Stardock so we're not really aware of a lot of the internal betas and the programs that are coming out. We have channels that allow us to find certain bits out, and perhaps we will, but chances are doubtful. So, if you have any questions about _skinning_ as in the techincal aspects, where do I get started, etc, we can shoot for those. However, I may try to poke and prod a few of the Stardockians who are busy at work with GalCiv2 about these issues

OK I do have one or two....

If I make a WB thats gray in color will it colorize? I know the black skins and the white skins won't so I'm curious.

If I was going to spend time learning just one programming language, what would be the best one that would be the most "portable" among the different skinnable apps like widgets, Winamp, Samurize etc

If a skin deletes itself from the hard drive, and nobody is around to see it...does it make a sound?

More info on the GUI Championships.
  That one will probably be a bit more difficult because at this time there isn't much information to give.
