ah bjdrad, you should have read my post on Message Board time. It is different from "real time". Even the most known people can leave a message and like 1 person answers it!! 
How many times Frogboy had a lonely thread. I know I feel so lame when I post and 33 hours late nothing
Oh and on another subject, I wasn't going to post on this thread mostly because Cims wasn't saying anything and I knew he left already. I think he was being more disrespectful than making a statement. Then he will wonder why evrybody is jumping on him and why people are offended.
Too the admins...
You guys wrok for free??? You guys must have other jobs!!! Well thanks for making the site so good. It works fine I do not think many people know just how much work it is to run a site and manage it. Code don't grow on trees.

I totally agree, it's a waste of time... I end up coming here atleast a dozen times a day, when I could be doing something productive like twiddling my thumbs or staring at a drab, ugly, plain desktop... hehe.
If WinCustomize is a waste of time, then I hope I can waste A LOT of my time here

I've seen that form before somewhere. I think someone at DevArt uses it a lot. Can't point out any specifics though.

Ryan,
If there was a search function in this wonderful place I would have used it and not bothered you... please forgive me for asking a question......most newsgroups\message boards have at least a couple people who amazingly have the patience to answer newbies questions over and over again.....you have proven my point very nicely about the clique here.....by the way I somehow mistakenly thought that this was a place to gain information....if you dont have anything constructive to say to me why dont you take some Pepto Bismol..... it might help that sick feeling that I give you.

Way over the top bjdbrad. Relax. Don't take life so seriously or you'll never get out alive. Especially, don't take this miniscule, and extremely unimportant part of life so seriously.

bjdbrad, I don't think clique-ish is a reasonable way to describe the people here.
With regards to your question, if people don't know the answer, they aren't likely to respond. To assume that they didn't respond because they aren't friendly seems unfair.
Even I don't have a quick answer to your question. WindowBlinds 4 is scheduled to allow you to set the color on specific parts of the Windows GUI skin (like the Start button). But barring that it gets a bit trickier.
Regarding posts like these, it's a fairly straight forward divide:
You have one group, which I'm part of, that finds having pop-ups and spy ware installation offers and other rank commercialization in your face to be distracting and bothersome and would rather see a given site try to find ways for their core users to support the site so that that kind of thing can be avoided.
And then you have the other group that either uses pop up blockers (which cause the site to lose money) or doesn't mind them who doens't see why WC doesn't just go that way.
Cims seems to be of the latter group. If he'd just register WindowBlinds or whatever program he's using all those downloads on or participate more (a few wallpapers doesn't quite meet that level IMO) or get a subscription then he'd be fine. I'd rather have the 0.1% of users who've downloaded a lot of stuff be asked to contribute than have 99.9% of users be bombered with pop up ads and spyware (go to ezthemes.com, they include Gator with their skin files - that's the alternative).

uh oh the clique-ish word again...
I'm in no clique, I'm a lone cruiser
and listen to Brad...
I personally stopped using my pop up blocker for a a while cuz I felt guilty when visiting some sites but I've been in somewhat an evil mood lately and tired of 5 million windows popping up and locking me so I may be wicked and open up mozilla for this week or until my evilness goes away.
banners = good (none imposing)
pop ups = pain in the behind! and wicked!

I disagree that the site is a waste of time.....however.....I read how friendly and helpful people are.......they should have added cliquish to the description, this is the third time I have posted here and have yet to get one response for legitimate questions but there is no lack of people laughing at someones lame joke so they in turn will squeal with delight at their lame joke.....truth be told this site does try and get you to spend money more than any other I have found but I dont consider that a bad thing......and their is a lot of well done free material here also.....my current posting has only been up for 14 hours so I guess there is still an outside chance for an outsider to get a response...or then again.......maybe not......
