I’ve gotten into the whole anything-but-a-Bill-Gates interface thing of late and wondering what you other crazy, alternative folks are on.
As it’s completely idiot proof with over 1,000 choices, I’ve settled on WindowBlinds as my skin source of choice (in theory, you need to purchase it. Other skin source options are free).
I’m currently looking at you via the MAXWB interface – nice buttons and colour with a pleasant (sort of) Merc / BMW lines and curves thing happening – any other recommendations for a clean, not busy look ?
Oh. And here I thought you were thinking of becoming a skin head. In which case I certainly hope you were thinking of joining SHARP. Come to think of it, if they had a skin, I’d choose that one.
::breathes a sigh of relief after realizing this is not a “Silence of the Lambs” - Buffalo Bill - making a coat out of human skins kind of thread::
I used to have WindowBlinds too, but it kept crashing my computer. Well, to be honest, these days ANYTHING will crash my damn 'puter. It needs some more memory, I think. And probably a lot of Non-Gates software… the only problem is all the peripheral devices: they ALL require Windows, so I suppose Linux isn’t an option.
Thinking ! Thinking of becoming a skin…you almost made me spill my warm milk. Have to tell you, comrade, I was on the streets back in 77 when ‘Rock Against Racism’ wasn’t some kind of comfortable middle class student cause…now let me tell ya how it was… :o
Coldie – You know, I usually avoid these things for that very reason (crashing). Just got so damn fed up looking at the bloody screen I thought, in desperation, I’d give it a go. No probs so far and fingers crossed.
Yep, I agree a lot of the problems with crashing are probably memory related. That and the ‘Home PC’ Windoze software – not unlike driving a bloody East German Trabby. God help us all !
So, no one into WindowBlinds, then ?
