Frogboy, here's what I think: If a site provides a "home base"/showcase for content that would otherwise require dozens of "stops" on the web, that's a good thing. If it also happens to be a site that serves as a sort of support channel for users, that's even better. But, in my opinion, such sites rely heavily (or they certainly should be thinking about it) on "brand loyalty". The primary reason I am here, and support WinCustomize/Stardock is because of the support *I* get. That is to say, t

Reply to Next version of Netscape Launched! in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

It's a great release. Too bad it doesn't skin properly though. PR1 and earlier Mozilla releases worked fine, but now, copy/paste (from URL) and the subject and URL fields are flaky when 7.0 final is skinned. Try entering a subject in a new message. Or, start NS in mail/news mode first, then launch the browser and try editing the URL. Sometimes it works, but most times it doesn't. Apparently the view on the Stardock newsgroups is that it's a Mozilla issue (which I agree, it sure seems to be). The

Reply to Microsoft's Virtual Machine and Windows XP in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

>Did you recently install Windows XP on a machine? No, but I remember when I did. >Did you try to experience a website with Java applets? Yes. >Did you try to expect IE to download automatically the MS Virtual machine? No, because I had been reading for some time before installing that MS wasn't providing virtual machine as part of the install.

Reply to WinCustomize Browser saying it's expired? in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

The .99d_enh download still (previously reported this with .99c) indicates .99b in the "about" dialog. In fact, the executable file date after installation is dated 8/23. I have deleted the previous executable before installing. As for the registration expiration issue, the instructions here fixed it. Thanks!

LiteStep VWM Question in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Regardless of the particular module (though in this case, I'm dealing with ckvwm), how the $%#! do you specify a size for the actual virtual machine window *within* the background. I've got background images, sel and win images, but they all seem to occupy the entire space of the background image. Thanks for whatever help anyone can provide.

Reply to Winamp 3 release candidate! in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Ah,... it's okay. I think the biggest problem I have with it is that WinAmp 2.x was so good, it's hard to beat. If I want all the bells and whistles with a media library, video, etc, I use Media Jukebox. WinAmp has always been the "other" audio app I used when I just wanted quick access to some tunes. Now, it's grown, but I'm not sure it's better. I look at it the way I look at ACDSEE. I still use their 2.x version, because it was the best for quick image browsing. Their 4.x version has grown in

Reply to Suggestion for LiteStep Theme Category in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Great, thanks again. That's what I've been doing, but didn't know why it happened . . until now. That's easy enough. BTW, I spent quite a bit of time tweaking BlackSteel RMX last night, and it looks great, and works well. Nice theme! I think I just want to eliminate the zoomer, but otherwise now, it's another of my few "almost totally working the way I want them to" themes. <img src="http://images.stardoc
