DesktopX and components: it ain`t so, baby
Friday, July 2, 2004 by TroxxellX | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
DesktopX, WindowBlinds, BootSkin, just overinflated apps in terms of functionality I`m afraid. I am now just as happy as can be with StyleXP. (hey, it rhymes) Problems? I was disappointed with DesktopX having to be set to initiate at startup in order for the theme to be loaded. Once StyleXP sets a theme, it`s set whether StyleXP is loaded or not. BootSkin is a wonderful program if you like programs that will only work one time and then nothing after that. CursorXP is the least objectionable of the DesktopX components I suppose, but it did screw up my default xp icons a little bit.

How are you comparing StyleXP to DeskTopX? are you meaning WindowBlinds?
...because trust me, StyleXP has nothing to offer to compare with DesktopX.
I beleive you need to look more into Stardock Products.

Make mine Colby sharp. 
TroxxellX obviously hasn't learned how to use DesktopX, Windowblinds, Cursor XP, etc. and needs some instruction.

I think this thread is a bait... Are you reeling in once in a while to check if you caught something yet?
Anyway, I like cheese too, but I think rollerblades are better.

Now I'm confused - I thought you were supposed to use the cheese as bait - only at WC could we use a bait to attract cheese. I'm just gonna double check my mirror glass, got a feeling I may have strayed again into the wrong side

Ill take the bait. He aint gonna come back so its useless but..
It doesn't have to be set to load at startup. How else is a program supposed to run unless it is running?
You got a point there. Perhaps bootskin should randomly restart your computer so you can see the bootskin more often. DUMBASS!
I am embarrassed to have made this post.

It's always good to know how intelligent and informed the average Style XP advocate is...

Well, if they made a BootSkin for Windows ME, then it would do it even without adding anything to the BootSkin program.
