I'm a sick man.....I need help

why skinners shouldn't use other computers than thier own

Sunday, October 14, 2007 by 2of3 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

I'm visiting my parents for 3 weeks and I have (as I promised my wife) left my laptop at home. This has turned out to be a painfull experience for me!

The first thing I saw when I turned on my dad's computer was the res. he was using. His screen is 1280x1024. Why would he turn down the res to 1024x768? When I showed him this he said "Oh now everything looks clearer". My next task was to activate the quicklaunch buttons (I did that without asking). The next time I came back, he had removed them!

Yes, I can still log on to WC and keep tabs on whats going on here, check my download count and such, but here is my biggest problem: My dad uses default luna!

I'm just itching to customize this PC or at least use the silver theme. This blue is killing me  He won't even let me install LogonStudio   

I think maybe I should go ahead and change small things and hope he likes it. I'm on a mission: to turn this man from the dark side!

hehe my father-in-law runs his system at 800x600! :/ When ever I am forced to use it, I bump up the res. haha Just seems like a waste to run a PC at such a low res., you know?

I know how I'd feel if someone changed anything on my computer, but mine is already customized!
This is just bare bones default which is an eyesore IMAO   

I've managed to turn a few friends on to customization, which seems to be my mission in life!

My wife runs at 800x600 Luna. It makes my eyes bleed.  Gushers. 

I finally got her to use SoulLuna2 by intimating it was a new theme by MS.  After she used and liked it showed her LightBlue. We've never gotten further than that.

I have OB docked and hidden on all my systems and when on other systems I get so frustrated when I'm bumping the side of the screen AND NOTHING HAPPENS!!  Grrr.  How do people work this way?  I need OB to run off a thumbdrive.

It. Is so. hard.

Think I'll stop while I'm ahead
