XP Rant...
Tuesday, June 19, 2001 by Buzz_Hog | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Why on earth do we need 50 gazillion XP themes at once?
I really like Object Bar and would love to use it, but apparently the only flavor out is of the XP kind... Ok, I can understand having a few of them around amidst a plethera of unique skins, but almost 20 of them, with the only noticable differnece being a color or background... Jeez... Someone please do something cool with Object Bar...

pj,
Nope, I'm still around. Have just been severly busy with a company split and had to redesign and build our networks. It's been some long hard months. Things are slowing down now and I'll be back causing a ruckus again soon enough... Now pass me the olives, will ya...
Also, I need to talk to you about something I'm working on. You got ICQ or irc?

I have the same problem. I'd like to use ObjectBar but at this point it seems more like it should be called XPBar 
So I'm patiently awaiting for my WinCustomize CD with the additional themes...

hmm. I see what you mean guys. But I think that the none XP authors should bang out more none OS themes to help boost the population of them. They will then out number XP skins. 
(Well if that is at all possible now) 
I have OB, Still learning how it works, but will promise none XP stuff in the future. I am not bound to XP ...

I run two of my home machines with XP, both Server and professional and I can't stand those nasty default themes. It's compounded by the fact that one of the gui mod tools I love, OB, only has tons of varients of those default themes... I can't get away from it...

well, so I'm not alone...
maybe I should create another skin for OB and post it in 'all' 256 colors....
I think that is exactly what I'm going to do now! [not in 256 col, maybe just 20...]
replicating the same OB theme over and over again, just changing the color sucks.
You could create one theme holding all the different colors in the different skins (all in one zip), couldn't you. I think that would be a great idea [LISTEN!!!]. I don't want to see another XP OB theme [CYAN maybe
], PLEASE!
