Reply to Error: Failed to parse filename from URL in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

i'm trying to download the beautiful looking XP Glass Corona wallpaper by Voodoo_FreaK. I also tried to download the Corona Windowblinds theme and XP Corona Wallpaper both by Alexandrie but i resorted to browsing to the website which worked ok. I can still download items, just not using the wincustomize browser, which is a shame cos I payed good ££ for it (not that it isn't worth it!) Anyway, i hope this helps you to help me! Thanks again Duncan <A

Where are the previews? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

In the wincustomize browser the previews (and the main screenshot, when clicked) do not display, they just display the cross and image description. This doesn't happen when browsing using IE. It's really annoying me now because I can't be bothered loading IE to preview the files!

Not strictly customization..... in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

but i dunno who else to ask! I have just downloaded a free wee proggy called FreshDiagnose and ran the HardDisc benchmark. The results were pretty mad. My windows/software ect drive is writing at about 10 and reading at about 5 (MB/S), however my other drive (sitting pretty much empty - used for storing home videos) is reading at 17.52 and writing at 16.43 (MB/S). The second HD was installed by me, and is the same size (-/+ a few MB) and is clearly much faster than my

Reply to Borrowing terms is fun.... in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Speaking of downloading a new room I saw this really cool thing on a program here in the UK called tommorows world, where they had this room that had huge plasma style screen things on the walls and roof, and something similar on the floor. They had this really cool example that you could download a star program and it would be like sleeping outside. You could also have fish swimming around you aswell. They also had a material that you could make cusion and pillow slips out of, and al

Perhaps i'm missing the whole point, but i think this site is perfect the way it is. You can trial the site for 100MB, then contribute, buy the products you are skinning(!) and/or pay the fee (of 20$) When i think about the cost of it, this site must be... no is the best value for money I have ever seen, anywhere!!! I mean, what else that's anywhere nearly as good as wincustomize can you get for 83cents per month!?! Just another meaningless thought brought to you in whole by

Reply to newbie looking for a wallpaper swapper in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

There is the best little free program called webshots. I think you have to sign up, but it's free and you don't get junk mail. They have thousands of walls for you to download, and you can import your own also. Webshots it IMHO the *best* place to share your own photos. With the free membership you can only download 5 photos per day (but by the sounds of it, I get the impression it's walls you allready have you wan't to use anyway), but I don't recall any spyware, adware or anything

I had a program that did it all for you. I don't use it anymore, and I can't remember it's name, best bet is to try download.com or something. If you wan't to change stuff with IE then maybe you would consider getting Neoplanet. It's basicly IE in another shell, so theres no compatablity issues (as far as i'm aware) and it has some cool little features built in to it also. http://www.neoplanet.com to get it Dunc <A HREF="https://www.wincustomize.com/index.a

Reply to Understanding Message Board Time in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

In response to what planetmonkey said, i'll agree that a lot of other discussion groups/newsgroups ect are very unorganizedand can give you a sore head unless you check them every 2 seconds. I'm new here so correct me if I am wrong but it seems like a lot of the 'members' know each other and it's like friends talking sometimes rather than people who don't really know each other well. (Of course not for me cos i don't know any1 here [yet..... ] I'm purely making observations) <A

Reply to how do u install a lite step theme.......plz help in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Go to http://lsdocs.shellfront.org/index.php there and it'll tell you all ya need to know. I used litestep for a (very) short time, because i couldn't get any of the themes to work. I think this is because for the themes to be installed by a real novice user (me) they had to be strictly OTS complient. I won't explain it here but you can find out more at www.litestep.com. I kinda thought that the default theme was pretty cool! <A HREF="https://www.wincustomize.com/inde

Uh-hu. I agree. I'm 15 and i quite like some of Elvis' stuff. All of the (UK) channels are playing tonns of his movies, like on Sky ect, I dunno if it's the same in the US and elsewhere. I also really like JXL's remix of A Little Less Conversation. That was (is) a big hit over here in the UK.
