Firefox 3 Release & Stardock Site Compatibility
(Read More)

Firefox 3.0 goes final and is scheduled for release on Tuesday, June 17th.

There are currently known incompatibilities between Firefox 3 and many of our sites and forums. For the most part, the sites function properly, but have formatting issues. A specific example are the login & password fields to log into these forums. In Firefox 3, instead of both being on the same line, they are stacked vertically.

We will be addressing these visual issues in time. Please do NOT post threads on the forums pointing out Firefox 3 site issues. They will be deleted. We are aware of the problems and will work as quickly as we can to resolve them.

Until posted otherwise, the only version of Firefox our sites support at the moment is Firefox 2.

Newbie

Hey guys! What's goin' on? My name is Eric and I guess I'm the new guy. I'm already familar with customs but hacking and customizing my Pocket PC and was curious if there was a way to do it with Windows. All I did was Google and here I am. I've already started to change the way my icons look and hoping to do much more. Can't wait to learn everything!

WOW! What a warm welcome! lol Never came close to that on the XDA-Developers Forums for my Pocket PC. I'll try my best to read everything before I ask questions. But if I ask a question that has already been answered, I apologize in advance. BTW, thanx for letting me know where to get started! Take care guys!

Welcome.


and to save you some time...

Depending on your OS and/or the program in question

1) Reboot
2) It's defined by the skin
3) 16 colors not 16 bit
4) Make sure you're using 32bit color
5) You need to be in builder mode, then right click on it
6) It's gotta be edited in the uifile
7) Renaming it won't work, you have to convert it
8) You can get more 'edge room' by placing your image within a larger blank .png.
9) Archive that version and try the beta
10) Reinstall SDC over itself

hmmm left out a biggie that shows up once in a while.........







You were in the SCREEN SHOT Gallery....
It's only a picture...

No number of clicks and/or hotkey combinations wil cause the skins/themes/widgets/cursors/etc shown on that picture to magically install on your computer.

Try putting a SS as wallpaper with the same theme.  

Pssst....We don't use the word hacking around here.

Yup. Then you set it to hide the icons and watch someone try to use it.
I've done it to my sister a couple times when I was visiting.

11) Copy your system info from the windowblinds configuration window and paste here.
12) When submitting skins, remember to send chocolate to the moderators.
