CorkyO's Tutorials

Need a more visible place in the site

Thursday, May 4, 2006 by WebGizmos | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

I think it would be a great idea if the tutorials written by CorkyO were placed more visibly on the site somewhere, maybe even add them to the libraries. One reason I suggest this is because..."I" know he has written them..."I" know they exist...but trying to find them even knowing that is near impossible, so I can imagine how hard it must be for someone new that has no idea they exist and could really use them. And since they deal directly with the use of some of the products sold here it might be a good idea to make them more visible so people buying these can see them and access them easier. I see them once in awhile posted on the side of the pages but not always.

I totally missed both Guide links when I went to that page before.
I kept trying to find info on importing/saving in the info below the links.

Downloading now. Thanks for the swift kick in the right direction NT

Thanks Bichur and nighttrain...I read through it all briefly.Im hoping this is a case of a tutorial looking way more complicated than it is .

What I noticed that was missing is at the end where it simply says " now your done " So I guess i assume if you go look in your cursorxp theme folder then its been saved as a cursorxxp ext.....but it didnt really say.

The other thing was at the end of tutorial it say " additional tools " you need for animated graphics >
AniUtil is a simple utility for skinners to make "animated" PNG or BMP images that are required as source images for Cursor XP skins.

Again the link is broken and says page may have been moved. I guess Stardock needs to update the tutorial.

At least I have a bit of an idea..I really only wanted a non animated cursor. I wanted it to be like island dogs pumpkin 2 cursor ( that has a small detached pointer arrow ) I prefer a cursor with a distinct point.

Thanks again...but I think this may be too much for me yet.

Sorry to revive an old thread (2 days = old in WC time).

I agree that it would be nice to have a tab dedicated to tutorials, both for the new user and for those wishing to contribute by creating tutorials that do not yet exist (it would allow those of us who write them to take inventory in one location instead of searching the site for something already created).

The search function works okay via "Articles > Tutorials" but a dedicated tab page with category link buttons would be optimal (IMHO).

Steve, if you read your thread again, could you resend the e-mail you sent? I had to do a clean install due to IE7 having it's way with one or more '.dll' files (which seemed to be sideways ), and I lost the original e-mail.

I will place a suggestion in the moderator's forum to see if there is any possibility of this being implemented and if so, how far down the list it would be.
