F.A.Q. List - Phase I
Monday, November 4, 2002 by Aqua. | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Koasati and I are putting together a frequently asked questions list for WC so that when people ask common questions we can immediately point them to a page with good answers.
First off, we need a bunch of questions to go on the list and would appreciate any input on what we should include.

Ok, I sent you a couple emails. To start off I think it might be best to do the Q&A as a community project.

Off the top of my head...
When I install logons, they don't appear in the list. How do I solve this?

I had this problem with the CopperDesk II Logon. Here's what I did to fix it.
I changed the file ext to .zip, opened it and what do you think I found? Another .logonXP file........ when I opened that file, the Logon appeared in the list.
I think LogonXP is kludging the export.

'How do I read ?' would also be a good 1st paragraph. 
No, to be serios now it is really a good idea to start such a project.

Opps, 'serios' = 'serious'
2nd paragraph : 'How do I check my spelling before posting ?'

I need a list of proprietary file extensions. Such as .wba = WindowBlinds
.logonxp = LogonXP
Please list them here, I know I'll miss some.

Something about how to post/thread to this discussion list? Perhaps especially things along the lines of "why ain't it free" will be met with scorn and derision.
With only a little more seriousess, How do I update/upgrade/view my level? What are the advantages of becoming a subscriber? and the ever present chatter re the moderation process.

How about, "I'm a newbie, what are the files I need to download to get started in using skins?"
Also, "if I decide to start developing skins, what software do I need?"
One more, "I've download icon files, how do I use them?"
As you can tell, I'm a newbie, if you would like to answer these questions please post or email me.
Thanks

YMark... "I'm a newbie, what are the files I need to download to get started in using skins?"
While we're working on the FAQ, try reading the 'About' links located near the top of the page in each library/section.
"if I decide to start developing skins, what software do I need?"
You'll need a decent graphics editor. Paintshop Pro, Photoshop, The Gimp.
Do a Google seach to find them. http://www.google.com/
"I've download icon files, how do I use them?"
See answer to the first question.

The following questions are my suggestions:
"How do I upload files?"
"How do I create screenshots for my uploads?"
"How do I acess premium skins and suites?"
"How does T-Man manage to be in many places at once?"
"How do I get my scones to rise in the oven?"

Some things newbies might ask
---
Why is my wallpaper not posted on the site yet?
Are the files at Wincustomize rated?
What do the numbers mean in the 'Top Authors' window?
How do I create my own icons and cursors?
What do I have to do to become an admin here?
How are the featured skins chosen?
Why was my amazing wallpaper rejected?
Why can't I download more than 100MB of stuff from here?
My shareware copy of Windowblinds doesn't skin everything, what is wrong?
Can I change my control panel icons?
I have an Object Desktop subscription, why don't I have level 3 access here at wincustomize?

Jobeleca, Not sure if I'm wording this the clearest way, but the numbers are how many tens of downloads received. Adni's number today is 911, meaning that he had 9,110 downloads.

ok 
thanks
I had previously thought they were mere download numbers until I noticed that their download numbers were much higher than the top authors numbers.
Yup, this question is going on the FAQ list
