If you are going to quote, there isn't a need to quote an img-embeded picture - Just don't do it. Please just reference the post by page number/page link/etc.
Off Topic Posts will be edited or removed.

That's lame... And why exactly does the Mac Desktops thread has other rules than the "normal" PC Desktops thread? The max upload size has always been 256 Kb so why only use 100 Kb in this thread, has it changed for the whole forum? There used to be section in the add reply mode that showed the max upload size, can't find it anymore

I use 1024x768. My browser screen won't fit 800x600 very well (especially with the extra borders and padding and whatnot that Neowin uses. 1024x768 is still widely used, especially on Macs because of 12" PowerBooks and iBooks.

That's why I don't understand why the resolutions in this thread are limited to 800x600 when they're 1024x768 in the (Windows) Desktop thread.

@nspeds:
Is it true that you can only click directly on the text (App name, File, Edit, View etc.) and Apple logo when using a 100% transparant menubar? ---> So when you click right next to it, it won't open the menu? Just something I'd like to know because I've read something about those "problems" when using transparant menubars.

I rectified that flaw by making the menubars 90% transparent; the difference is not noticeable.
