I live on the other side of the globe, but I sure know how you must feel! Hope you get a lot of new friends!

I live near Chester SC. So don't feel discouraged. I used to work in Charlotte, at a OutSourcing Support Center for Adobe ( I was top tier for FrameMaker 1-6.)
When I worked there with other (supposedly) computer Geeks, I was the only one that was modd'ing anything. I actually had to bring in my own stuff to mod my machine @ work. I had to add my own sound card and additiona network card, and whatnot to get the machine I was assigned to do what I wanted. The Administrators there, had a dual relationship with me, they hated having to figure out my machines, once customized, but needed my help so often they had to grudgingly allow me to do what I wanted. Eventually I won them over. The closest I came to a fellow Skinner, was a MacHead, using Kaleidescope.

Well I know a few skinners who live around me including DavidK but most ppl don't know what I mean by "Skinning"

Nobody I know gives a flip about it...but that okay, It just means their's more for me

Funny, because most of the people I show this stuff too love it. I usually don't mention the word "skinning" until I explain what it is: Desktop Customization. I have been in this community for so long I forget sometimes that others do no know what skinning is.

I am trying to get my friends into it more. I am even planning to buy a few of them Object Desktop or WindowBlinds subscriptions. WHAT A NICE FRIEND I AM!!!

My almost maybe could be girlfriends pretend to like it to make me happy... I SEE THOUGH THE LIES!!!

Anyway, good luck in finding a friend who likes skinning like you do.

Been doing this for years and most of my family and friends just understand that my computer is Strange, some know what Stardock is,some think that I run Linux, Have a mac, the rest simply think I'm weird but come over anyhow cause they always have a puter problem they need fixed,..........

My wife justs stares at the new layout, thinks for a second, curses and demands to know where I've put the buttons this time

I still like to take my friends computers and take a screen shot of their desktop and then use it for the desktop background. Then I hide everything like icons and taskbar. It's great to watch friends click endlessly with no results.

I cant even get Litestep to work properly now. Looks like I got myself.

Jafo

Classes started today. But I hav'nt given up on that theme.
I have been sitting here reading more documentation on Litestep.

I wish they had a course out here for Skinners.

And to think I make all A's.

To reply to the title, i'm no more a Wincustomize friend, and probably no more a Stardock customer as well after 5/6 years (?) of sending $ then €.

Yep i like to customize my PC, (and from time to time sharing some things i do), but when things are becoming so silly, i've just something else to do that spending part of my time trying to explain evidence ... )

And just a little note for Stardock : lots of compagnies are paying to get beta testors. If you did'nt get all those ODNT subscribers (who for the most of them are enjoying to test new unworking versions of programs - for parts of them - and give you informations that you would'nt be able to find and solve on your own) what would your compagnie should have become ????

Just think a little of this ...

I second that, DT

To reply to the title, i'm no more a Wincustomize friend,

I think he is declaring himself as an official enemy then.
