I apologize for not having this done yesterday, and for not having more than one to look at this week. I had a sick grandbaby last week and we had some really severe weather yesterday which prevented me from turning on my computer. That said, here's the one review I have for this week:

 

I have a bunch of really beautiful Wolf artwork that I use for my walls, but there are very few that I can remember where I found them.

Fortunately, one exceptional piece of work is signed and wa...

Hiya peoples! Get comfy, this will be a long one, but worth it I think...

Been in the mood for earth colors this week, so I indulged and downloaded ERRO by Imzadi .

This blind is earthy, and neatly designed. The start menu and buttons are stylized arrows with the Start button animation creating a swirl with the arrow.

I enjoyed the way the Start menu was shaded to look almost like sunglasses, giving it an almost seventies feel to it (you who were there remember how popular the smoked g...

Hello peoples! Today I'm going to do a brief article about recoloring in a few different Object Desktop programs.

I am preparing this for two reasons;

 

One, I want people to better understand how I recolor when I mention it in my reviews blog articles (not everyone is experienced with these features)

and two, Because I am using Windows Live Writer to create my posts, I had to find somewhere to upload the pictures I use within the article. I needed an ftp host. I am trying one o...

One of the things I want to stress prior to continuing this article, is , there are some elderly skins that seriously dislike new technology. It is with a stern warning to back up your stuff first, I give you this week's reviews.

 

Having said that, I want to tell you there are some really neat skins in the libraries that no one see's anymore.Some  of those skins will work just fine on your system with the newest windowblinds build. (I also warn, I have XP sp2 , don't know what ...

note the wall behind the dock and the wall behind the browser.... I just don't understand it.

I use the change wallpaper every hour thing in WB and recently noticed that there is an issue with how the  walls display behind the dock.

Any suggestions?

Here are a few of the skins I've tried in the last week. I've documented them each day I used and saved the information to post to you here in one lump sum.

Well I felt kind of beachy today. It's sunny and I live close to the beach, and I can smell the salt in the air  today. Very invigorating!
I decided today I was going to hunt through my skins for something I've already downloaded, and found seadream by Cathe Well Iconpackager was having some issues and I figured I'd redownload the ...

Ok peoples,
Here's what's happening:

I have a gateway 505m laptop. It has a synaptics touchpad (with the most updated drivers available) and every couple days it gives me a warning prompt that there is another pointing device on my computer and it is shutting down to let that one work. thing is, I don't have another pointing device. now the problem arises when my cursor decides it wants to go somewhere other than where I am pointing it and just jumps there.combine that with a keyboard glitc...

Now I have always loved the beauty of the full spectrum and there was a time when it was in vogue to colour your surroundings and yourself with the full range of colours in the rainbow. Lately though it seems people in my area have deemed the rainbow to symbolize homosexuality only and nothing else. I have no gripes against anyone'...
