No No. It's the tools. It's all about the tools. Buy the most expensive softwares and use them to your advantages over other artists. You can do more with Photoshop than M$ Paint. Just kidding.

#97 I should stick that as a sig. Hmm, second thought it's much more fun having people try to pronounce u-M0p ap...!sdn???

Yes, but moudey wants to know what program is used to install Stardock CursorXP.

dabe, that looks pretty good. But I'm trying to stay away from dark skins. Being in front of a computer all day, then coming home to a bright/cheerful desktop is better. Dark = tiresome. As for my name... I think you got it.

Great job. Those photo restoration looks great as well. Impressive. Could just be the inspiration I need to learn photoshop. Thank you.

Oh, If you need ideas on future projects, let me know. I have plenty. Just don't have time to learn how to utilize Photoshop to it's full extent or to extractlly skin.

My email didn't work? Glad I can help. When times gets rough, it's always nice to have a hobby to turn to.

Excellent. You may. Better than what I'd imagined (I hope for the larger res. version).

Reply to Wallpaper Request: I know, I know.... in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Wow. Great improvement. But the sky still looks empty, it could just be me. However, try adding a sunset (or whatever comes to mind) over the big empty white space on the left. Possibly have the sun peaking over the trees. Darken the grass a bit for lighting effects and such. I'm impressed.

Exactly! Thanks for the link MGiff. The second sshot looks good. Like Surg said, add another tree in the distance (whole tree?)

I'm curous as to what your budget is? Unlimited? $1000? When I built mine, my budget was $500-$600. I spent a total of $599 when I was finished. But that didn't include the $200 19" flat monitor, the $80 speakers or the $100 wireless mouse/keyboard. Totaled: $1000. Hmmm, didn't wanted to spend that much. $600 was my budget!!! <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/lol.gif" border=0

That's much better. The sunset was just an idea. However, you might want to experiment with a few things to include in the background, it looks "empty". It needs a vertical object to break the horizonal look (tree/sky/grass all horizonal), possibly the sunset near the left in the horizon like the previous version and/or a dirt road with fence (old fashion wood fence) on each side disapearing into the horizon (directly centered or not). Experiment. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/

MGiff, the tree needs to be clean up a bit. It's a little blurry and has some other minor "dirt". Possibly replace the background with another? Take your time (all the time you need).

No problem. Make sure you're downloading FireFox and not Mozilla. Mozilla has everything, FireFox is a stripped down browser version. Tabs were weird for me when I fist downloaded Firebird(old version), but I'm used to it. Takes up less space when you're browsing multiple sites. And the best part is that hackers aren't attacking any potential holes it MIGHT have.

....malfunction sorry, Janet's half time custom malfuction came into mine.

Reply to Wallpaper Request: I know, I know.... in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Firefox has google search builtin. I use it because it's faster than IE (for me) and Tabs = 1 browser window. It doesn't hurt to try it out, or does it!?

Reply to Wallpaper Request: I know, I know.... in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

http://www.mozilla.org/ Tab browsing is cool.

Reply to Wallpaper Request: I know, I know.... in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

You guys must be using IE. Download FireFox and you won't see another popup again!

The screenshot IS exactly what I had in mind for the tree. I like the sky, but it's a bit cloudy? Show more sky if possible. It might just be that image is too small, but the "grass" seems odd... flat/glassy. Hmm, maybe take the grass from your bonzai wallpaper and merge with the above screenshot and have clear sky (w/ a touch of cloud). Again, the screenshot may be too small, but add more detail to the tree, it's too dark. Other ppl may have suggestions.

A compact startmenu version would be nice.
