download complete and that wallpaper is hot! I thought skinhit was the wallpaper man around here, you got some skills Zubaz! I will definitely provide a download link to it in my next orange colored wb skin - seriously! I also just downloaded ArtRage 2 Free edition, I had never heard of it before, from what's shown on their website gallery, it looks like pretty cool software!

sorry about that zubaz, I keep forgetting what kind of data I should include in a post and what should be left out, as you can see I haven't acquired many skills in forum etiquette either - my apologies.

Aren't fractal images unique by nature, I doubt that I could recreate another persons fractal art unless I used the exact same fractal image generate, same specs, numbers, mathematics, etc. If you want the site to be popular, you encourage users to subscribe to the site, purchase software & premium skins and upload their creations to the site to share with others. If you start being restrictive and setting guidelines on art/image submission (placing restrictions & guidelines on

If you search the wb gallery for vista skins just by typing in vista in the search field or using this link https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.aspx?libid=1&search=vista you get @ 17 wb skins with the name vista in the title. [Removed by admin Zubaz - No need to point fingers, email is fine. I now have the data] I only discovered this recently myself within the last month or so, the skins have been available since sept 2005, I figured if no one else reported it

I have a better trick Night Train (not sure if I should take offense to your bootskin attack - which probably could apply to logons as well; I love bootskins, have released quite a few myself, most of my recent work is based on my own graphic work and most importantly I like my bootskins so I guess I won't take offense - had to do a double take though just to make sure ). Here's my better trick (cause

farting like a brewer's horse?! I hope he's using water based latex when he paints, I don't want any flammable spray paints being used if there will be explosive emissions of gas in the area! Clouds painted on the ceiling are one thing, clouds of smoke emanating from someone after floating an air biscuit was not part of the deal.

this is a very interesting topic, I have a question. Please forgive my stupidity, I'm still just a noob when it comes to skinning, especially skinning wb themes. What does "per pixel" mean, I've seen it in skinstudio but I don't touch those areas because, well... I don't know what it means. "Per pixel" elements are obviously not required to skin wb themes, what is the advantage of per pixel gui elements and how do you implement them? I'd also love an example of a wb skin out there

Po' didn't read the rest of your reply there but you mentioned at the beginning that painted clouds on kid's bedroom ceilings, I think that's a great idea. I'd love it if you could come over and paint some cloud's their ceilings, (2 bedrooms if you don't mind) and maybe a mural on the walls with some trees, yeah, some happy trees on the walls too, that would be great! So when can you start? p.s. if you come over early enough, you could join us for supper (beans & franks), we

didn't the same thing happen with XP when everyone was running win98 or win2k, people like new stuff, vista is new and it's going to have alot of appeal and you're going to have alot of people like myself who create vista themed skins because they like vista. I hear what you're saying about everything being labeled "vista ______" although I've never actually heard the term "popularity whoring" before. But if you took away all of the vista themed skins and never allowed the

I use fireworks mx 2004 and create the required .png files I need for my wb's. I import the images into skinstudio and it creates the required tga files for my skins. I'm not a big fan of photoshop either, I find working fireworks so much easier. Don't know about PSP v7-9, but if it can create png files and you can adjust transparency of those images while you're editing them I would think that would be enough. I don't think you need to use the color purple (or magic pink possibly you'r

the only thing that should be skinless is chicken breast and even then, it should be breaded & deep fried in 11 (or 12) herbs & spices so technically you still have a skin, so seriously what the heck were we talking about anyways, man am I hungry or what?! seriously though since I'm a noob, what's a 'modder' and don't tell me it's a lady whose married to your 'fodder' cause that won't be funny.

I've recently created a few logons (4 in total), 3 of them even contain a "splash" (transparently/translucent area positioned on top of the bkgrnd image/wallpaper). They look I guess but I'm wanting to skin the rest of the logon elements as well. I rec'd alot of help and the logon template itself from Boss0190 (you can visit his site here, he has a ton of quality splash logons http://boss0190.wincustomize.com/) and you can see the discussion here https://forums.wincustomize.com

I know this section of the discussion happened earlier but I thought I would add something: laptops will only show the undock button if the machine is actually hooked up to a docking station, if it isn't attached to a docking station, no undock button will appear (regardless if the machine is hooked up to a network or not, os appearance for a machine hooked up to a network only changes if the machine logs on to a network domain; if the machine is not a member of a network domain, the default se

On a side note, anyone notice that the download button & ratings area tend to get confused sometimes. I try to download a skin by clicking on the download button and the ratings drop down stars appear (and the message detailed above). I try to rate a skin and the download button gets pressed, etc. I've tried testing this by being super slow & careful when clicking on the download button but it seems that the area sensitive to mouse over events for the ratings system seems to be reaching a lit

Didn't know if I should start a new post on this issue or add a reply to this one and maybe someone will see the updated activity. I can't rate skins anymore, I'm giving a message that appears as a mouseover event when I place my cursor over the rating stars on any given skins. The message appears: "...you must be an apprentice or be a current wincustomize subscriber to rate skins." I'm not an apprentice by I am a current wincustomize subscriber. Anyone else experience thi

apparently we don't have enough bad skins to complain about so we have to start cracking the whip on good skins (if I didn't know better I would think that the conversation topic was influenced by my wife, not enough bad things to complain about, got to rip in to the good stuff too just to make sure everyone's awake!)

anyone try fireworks? - I find it much easier to use than photoshop cs2 I think the only thing I can't do in fireworks that I can do in ps cs2 is export an image as a 32bit .bmp file (24bit color, 8bit transparency). Fireworks deals mainly in .png's, it can work with other image formats but when exporting .bmp's, 24bit is the limit. Other than that, for ease of use, I don't think fireworks can be beat. I find ps ui to be cluttered and non-intuitives, and working with layers is
