Actually I am using an ATI AIW 8500dv with the latest Catalyst drivers. The card Rocks!!! Scored just over 10,000 3dmark 2001se My display is set at 1280x1024 at 32bit. The strange thing is: If I change the shutdown dialog buttons to 96 ppi insted of 72 ppi it will display perfectly on my main display. The reverse is true on my network machine. I really want my skins

Well this just sucks...I guess as long as the skin looks like s**t on my main machine it should be perfect for the end user I thought this was a WB issue. Am I the only user with dirty logoff and shutdown buttons?

I have a MultiSync LCD1700v display at 1280x1024. The logoff buttons and the shutdown dialog buttons are very dirty at any resolution. When I test a skin on my older network machine(as well as my mothers machine) at any resolution they look perfectly clean Most all of the skins I use (including my own)are displayed this way. For example: I have been a long time lover of tree

I missed the other thread also but as soon as I seen the skin it was pretty obvious it had to be about being designed like Abracadabra. I feel for you treetog, I would be upset too. I guess technically it's not a rip but the design of the windows and buttons are most certainly modeled in the likeness of Abracadabra.

feline...You will probably get several different opinions from everyone having different experiences. Which can be even more frustrating. It's something simple, the odds that it is something as serious as your hard drive are slim to none. I'm telling you...It has to do with that vid card. Whether it be the drivers or the card itself. You can read all over the net about similar problems such as yours...mostly all video related. And of course what Jafo just said about

feline...I just repaired a computer 2 days ago with the exact same problem. She was having the same lock-up type problems, hanging etc. It was going on for about two weeks. She had a MMX geforce4 420 that was going bad before it finally failed. Popped in an ATI 64mb with the 7500 gpu and it runs like a champ. Don't know if this is your problem, but I would start there. Before you format...If you have an extra video card, PCI or AGP, pull out the nvidia one and insta

jarget...That's absolutely wonderful!!! My Father passed away last August from cirrhosis of the liver. He was only 50 years young. He had been an Alchoholic for just over 30 years. It is not a pretty thing watching someone you love literally deteriorate into skin and bones and then finally death. All because of Alchohol. Congratulations jarget!!! Stick to your guns and don't turn back. Alcholism is not a path you want to walk. Take C

7 skins and 2 walls, almost 100,000 downloads in 138 days. Not too bad. If you only knew the sacrifices I have made in my life to contribute. For what? This? Maybe I was wrong in my approach. I was very upset when I saw the button and perhaps reacted emotionally rather than rationally. I am even more upset the way people on this message board treat other people. Including the admins. Nothing but eye rolls and sarcasm. It seems the admins like to fuel the controversy as

This is pointless This is my final comment: Like I said earlier, I have many hours into a skin that I intend to share with many of the users that appreciate my work. I will release it perhaps sometime next week and leave it up, as well as the rest of my library for a couple of weeks. Regretfully, after that I must pull out from Wincustomize. I'm not looking for sympathy or please

OMG!!! You guys...This is too much. Plain and simple. I agree their are several graphics on several skins that may be similar, maybe used as a reference to create something close. For hell's sake, someone could use the same tutorial. The button I created was created from scratch using Photoshop layer styles, I didn't use any tutorial and spent a lot of time on it. I'm not saying it was recreated as a likeness. What I am saying is that it was my file cut and pasted a

Madice...I emailed Jafo privately...he chose to go public, if you had read the entire thread you would have realized that. Not a smart move to disagree with Jafo <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/lol.gif" b

Jafo, As an Administrator I would have thought you to be much more tactful with such a sensitive issue. I am very Sorry about your time. I spent quite a bit of time on my graphics also. Now this is going to be a Message Board joke...all the Wah wah wah, and Blah, blah, blah. Please just close this thread, you and I both know where it's going and it will be full of hostility, accusations and other nonsense. None of us here at WC need it.

Jafo...I don't think those images are a fair assesment. Take my button, cut the top half, stretch, copy, flip vertical, overlay, or saturation, or softlight and change the opacity. It's not just a likeness.

Just forget it. I know and he know's. I have a new skin I am releasing next week. I have many hours into it and would like to share it with everyone, graphic wise it is by far my best work. I'll leave my library available for a few weeks after that then I must pull out. I am very sorry, I never wanted anything like this to happen, I love Wincustomize and I love the skinning but can't play a part in this. It's the principle of the matter. Thank you all that have downloaded

I didn't want it to be this public. Can't you and the other Admins make a collective decision on this? Not saying that you don't know your stuff, but other opinions from fellow Admins would be a better approach then a public forum War. Which is exactly what I don't want.

Jafo...Not all other images. Compare to the sytemtray in question...All one has to do is cut my button and paste it over the left or right half of the systemtray button of the other file. The height size is exact. Stretch it a little. You can play with the opacity, softlight, overlay etc. and the color and pixel pattern is exact. C'mon...seriously, is it not obvious?
