So if you're like me, you've been using Vista for a little while now and you're starting to learn about what features really tick you off. Well probably one of the "coolest" features of Vista is Flip3D...and it happens to be practically useless because it doesn't show all the active windows, and it doesn't flip to the last visited window first (Like Alt + Tab does).
Solution? Try out Switcher. It's an Expose clone for Vista, and if you mess with the options a little bit it works great.
Try...
This is going to be the start of a regular segment for the forum, Can Ya Digg It!, which will feature the most humorous link or two that I can find out on Digg, BoingBoing, or any other similar site. Right now I'm planning on publishing a Digg It two or three times a week, and that will vary on the amount of fresh content that becomes available to me. Have a nutty link that you think could make a few people laugh or actually might be of some productive use? (For the latter case, it better be ver...
'cuse me while I whip this out...*AHHH!* [/Blazing Saddles]
Yes folks, I'm the new moderator of the Internet forum. What's in store? A lot of new conversation topics and some definite fun ones as well. I'm going to have some tutorials in the works so WinCustomize users can learn how to get more out of their site and their subscriptions...I think a Firefox tutorial will be in store first, for beginners and powerusers who want to beef up and trick out their browser. If you ever see any intere...
2004 was my first leap into this skinning business. For 2005 I plan to go in a much different direction...Here I’ll set a goal list for myself for this year, when I hope to really become a true SKINNER. Enjoy, and feel free to comment or critique as you please.
1) Make a WindowBlinds skin! (high quality, and with none of that trendy aero/longhorn/aqua or whatever the latest crap is now, of course) This means I have to actually sit down for a while and have some patience with Photoshop and ...
Anyone know where some might be? My mom got a PocketPC for Christmas, and she uses it for work. (She's a pharmacist) I'm interested in making a skin for her, but I'd like to see a guide first. Thanks much!
Apologia/Disclaimer: This article is full of my highly biased and honest opinion. I have not yet begun to skin WindowBlinds, so I am a novice at skinning. These are simply my observations and rants about skins I liked...and a few I didn't. If you feel I didn't include a skin that deserves its rightful props, just drop me a comment, I'll be happy to add a skin to the list.
Another monthly article, here we go! This month saw the opening of the fall WB skinning contest, so several artists came o...

September '04 was in my opinion, the revival of WB skinning after the GUI Olympics. A few new "styles" of GUI skinning ...
Before Windows XP came on the scene, ObjectBar was one of Stardock's popular programs. OB had the capability to emulate the then new Luna bars. Although I wasn't a part of the skinning community at that point, and I'm still a wee lil fledging compared to most of the skinning gurus who I chat with, but I've learned the history and reputation of OB fairly quickly.
And what I have learned is this: ObjectBar is a generation behind the current Stardock software, and newer pieces of ObjectDesktop ...

Well, I worked a little magic and got the Win 95/98 based Palm Desktop up and running. Actually the magic worked itself, but it don't matta no mo'. During the install it gave me the option to use Outlook instead, but I avoided that because I only use it for emails, and 90% of them are virus ridden. Blasted Adelphia. From there I loaded up a ton of games on it, and I went off to Google to find "Dope Wars," a rather entertaining game which involves lots of drug dea...

I sat reading Huck Finn tonight, and I started to ponder about the purpose of the organization of my daily tasks which I am supposed to do. I rarely am able to follow any schedule, I'd rather play my day out by a few set tasks istead of a rigid timeslotted events. Heck, I can't even keep a blog of my own updated. On the blog issue, it may be my mnd putting an end to activities it sees that have no realized end, but I certainly enjoy it.
So tonight I came to a...
Well life is getting better. I'm still patching up holes from the huge trouble I got into at school. I don't really want to talk about it, but I will diverge the fact that I have to apologize to the people involved. I'm VERY glad that I immediately took responsibility of my actions and sought out a solution immediately to them. Although it was quite a large error on my fault, at least I had the courage to take responsibility of my part in the situation.
Anywho, I talked to 4 of the people i...
With most communities "The Noob Factor" really hurts the community. For most forums, there's a bunch of dedicated and devoted members, and those on the outside. Usually those on the outside have frequent "FLAMING WARS!" while the other members yell, scream, etc. Normally on most boards this action is apparent on the first few pages of the boards.
Here however...it's different. Most teenagers have a problem with the English language. That is, they don't have the patience to write it. Where ...
I've got that song stuck in my head. And no, that is NOT a reference to some movie. That should really be title of my blog.
Anywho, a bit about moiself (with totally unnecessary addendums)

Hey everyone! I'm DoctorNick, aka Nick Quaranto. Over at WinCust I'm active, although I haven't been on the IRC in ages. Anyhow I've hopped over here for a bit.
To get the noob out of me: how do I start a blog site? I have my own webspace, I just would like to know why there's not a huge "START YOUR OWN BLOG HERE" button, etc. I'll take a stab that I have to post in the forums. Can anyone help a precious nub? Thanks!
