Hi Everyone. I see no one has posted to this thread lately, so I thought I would   I just joined yesterday but have been looking around the website and reading for about 2 weeks.

I have been online since October, 1996 and went from a DOS based computer straight to Win95. Talk about a shock! I am now running WinXP and plan on keeping it til I am forced to do otherwise.   

I am from NC and am a licensed wildlife rehabilitator. Meaning I am licensed to take in and care for injured and orphaned wildlife. I have been doing this since the early 90's. Due to some health problems, I no longer take in wildlife, but I now run a website where I help people find licensed rehabilitators for the injured and orphaned wildlife they have found. So I spend on average about 14-18 hours a day on the computer.

Needless to say in the past month I have become sick to death of the Windows XP Classic blue task bar at the bottom of my screen... it was screaming to be changed to something other than what Windows was offering. So a quick search on Google brought me to Wincustomize! What a find it was.

But as with everything I do I needed to do some research and a lot of reading as I am just not one to download just anything and run it. One would never believe some of the old programs I have that I "brought over" to WindowsXP from Win98.

So I finally bit the bullet and installed WindowBlinds yesterday and so far have not been disappointed at all. I have found one quirk but have been able to search in the forums to find the answers on how to fix it if I have to do so. One other thing I have found I think is my fault and will play with changing skins another day and see if closing all of the open windows will fix that problem. It seems some toolbar icons from an old skin want to "hang around" after a skin has been changed. But I will figure it out or I know where to come and ask for help!

I know this was rather lengthy, but wanted to say howdy to all of the talented and most gifted artists I have seen on the internet. My hats off to all of you because I have not one artistic bone in my body.

Welcome to WC ArkAngelWings!

Glad your here ArkAngelWings.

Welcome Diamonds30 (Joyce)

Bootskins and Logons are a good choice to start.

Hi I m Utkarsh Bhardwaj,16 from India. I m here since one and a half years and now got subscription through talk and win. I am smart and dashing, love to play basketbal. This world of skinning and programming looks too much fascinating to me. I wanna be a master one day. DesktopX is my favorite app as it can do almost everything through programming. Till now I've made DesktopX themes, CursorXP suite with trails Fx n sound, DesktopX widget and love to make a wb skin in future. Tiggz, Boxxi, Gef, Vad_M and RomanDA are some of my favorites but I love every author who works in his unique and distinct style. Thats all for now.

Ya Joyce there is lots of excitement when one submit for the first time.

Hi there all. I just joined up on the weekend, purchased the full Object Desktop suite, and have been having a great time ever since playing with the tools on Vista. I just love to tinker endlessly with the OS, so this is like heaven  Too bad I have a day job to distract me.

There's some incredible skins, icon sets and themes. The talent and effort shown here is truly impressive. I'm currently using the Stingray theme and still can't believe how freakin awesome it makes Vista look.

Cheers!

Good day Cloudscape and welcome!

Sorry Lantec, I think "word association" is and always will be an Epic thread!

It was meant as an exaggeration.
This post started during the last Subscription Drive. With all the new subs it was helpful to find out who was joining up.
