I'm a GUI addict.
Sunday, March 2, 2003 by jarget | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I constantly change my desktop using Windowblinds, WindowFX, Objectbar, DesktopX, Iconpackager, Object Dock, Hoverdesk, Nextstart, Rainlendar, YzToolbar and so on. Rarely do I leave a theme on my desktop more than two days. The longest was 7 days. Even then I was itchin' for a fix. A new theme fix! Now I'm thinking about going back to Litestep after 4 years free from the step.rc. I don't know what to do. HELP !!!!

moshi...my view on msstyles skinning is that it is as 'sophisticatedly diverse' as it can be under the circumstances/limitations of the proggy/application process.
The artistry may be good/bad/indifferent...but the functionality is what is found wanting.
I have little interest in defending/supporting a hacked dll as a concept/process...where it's intention is to break a Company's legal protection of its product.
'Reverse engineering', it's called..

You just like Microsoft and Stardock Jafo that's all there is to it. I did not have to mess with any DLL's to make StyleXP to run on my XP/SP1a system. Oh well no hard feelings each to his own. I agree with moshi's statement for the record.

you´ll hardly find a UI related dll on my computer that is not hacked. especially with icons the possibilities go far further than any shareware/freeware program (and as you are using LiteStep you should know that is not possible to change all icons with a program in 2K or XP when not using exploder as shell).
it might be illegal as we only bought a license to use the product and not the actual product itself (maybe it´s even illegal to alter the registry to run an alternative shell ... who knows ... i have never read the whole license agreement).
but hey, in the end you can only stick to your own morals and not to that others tell you. i have seen quite many posts of you where you admitted doing illegal things (not computer related) and i still don´t see you as a criminal

kona0197....yes, I do like them. Microsoft makes my OS of choice....and Stardock pays for the running of this site.
2 damn good reasons, really...
Oh...there are many more....most of them have names....namely, the people who comprise 'Stardock'. There's a word for them......'friends' I think it is, yes, that's the one...

Stardock is a good company although I do not understand how to use their products. But you like the Evil Empire known as Microsoft? What have they done for us? Made are systems so unprotected we have to buy a firewall just to surf the net? (Yes) Made it hard to obtain updates? (Yes) Charge a arm and a leg to buy the program? )Yes) Made it impossible to get updates for Windows 95, 98, and ME so then forcing those people to upgrade to Windows XP? (Yes) Crawled in bed with all the PC manufactures so we are stuck using this stupid OS when we buy a new PC or we void the warrenty? (Yes) I could go on forever... Microsoft SUCKS!

BY the way, I only hack stuff on MY computer like command & Conquer. I try to cheat on my games by hacking them or whatever you want to call it. I DO NOT HACK ON THE INTERNET THAT IS ILLEGEAL.

Exactly. The worse. And they bad side is they account for 80% of the market I think.
Jafo, You accusing me of something? NOT COOL.

Jafo: no clue about that guy. sad situation, i hope they get him soon. at least LiteStep does not depend on one single site. Pharoe´s site seems to be down also

I thought you might of thought I hacked A website. I don't know how to do that. What I meant by hacks is I go to gamegenie.com and get cheats so I can cheat on my games or cracks for the game ect..
