Just saw this thing & Could't believe wath I was reading, I just had to give them o good bashing, & correct some misfortunate :angry: mistakes

How stupid & selfcentred can people be!!????

PLEASE BASH them with mails!!! :angry: :devil: :ninja:

"Windows is monolithic. Everyone gets the same style," he said. "You have all these totally different users across the world, and they get the same damn scheme."

"I think the Microsoft experience will follow a similar tack," he said. "There's great equity in Disney offering a Disney interface, with Disneyesque buttons and icons, and menus and toolbars."

This is the link to the WIRED news post!

& this is the email i send them 10 seconds after finished reading!, please feel free to write some emails too, & make justice to those who worked so hard to make what the skinning community is today!!!

"Windows skinning has been going for yars, since windows 98 with windowblinds, and on windows XP, since it's inception wich was worked with partnership with Stardock (makers of windowblinds) and soon after the release of windows XP the modded shellstyle & StyleXP. There are Thousands of skins for windows XP, & more stable alternatives for skinning.

Windowblinds even tops that and offers plugable widgets for it's skins, not commenting on the other wonderful software there is for changing the look of your desktop.

What about linux, they have had several shells, and the imbued option to boot with wichever shell you like. & you have them for windows too, like Litestep for example.

They are not pioneering anything, they are taking an idea that is going around for a very long time and aplying it for OSX.

I've read somethings from the developers of Shapeshifter, & Hope it wasn't them that said they were pioneering anything in the skinning community, not even for MAC.

& by the way windowblinds as already been used by release with companyes & even used on films. So takka a good look around before you say unfounded things."

soory for the title I was so nervous I pressed enter by mistake - if some mod would just correct it :blush:

Edited by pax13

I was just so angry when I read it, it made me sick.

Worst of all since after reading a few hundred posts about the new william bart skin suite for OSX & Windows, OMEGA wich is going to be just HUGE & is winting the release of some new skinning technology from shapeshifter 1.5 (currently 1.2). sorry for this off part!

anyway, I was getting a liking from one of the shapeshifter developers alias the lead developer, & can?t believe someone linked to the skinning community could have said it! Since there is an increasing flow from every system you can skin, mainly Windows - OSX - Linux

Iup!

That's why they are semi-easily portable!!!

william bart has been trying to evolve shapeshifter so he can basically ad funcionality so his OMEGA scheme can be perfect without the dark themes legibility associated probs!

wich we also partially have on windows, if not for some lack of work or testing!?

Wow seems like many websites I respected in the past have turned from non objective into objective BS.

Give a journalist a Mac if you want people to lose respect for him for turning him into objective crap reporter.

um you mean subjective. subjective is the word.

Its a stupid old 2003 article, that's all.

I would hope that the author didn't write it for anything other than this particular OS X community, as his comment "(Apple) is skinning everyone's desktop according to Steve Jobs' taste." is rather shockingly open ended as a point.

Hell, until Apple can give its users a customisable boot screen, login screen and totally configurable desktop interface, its hardly going to match the Stardock apps...

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.5 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.5 changelog: Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows (DirectSound and ASIO) Fixes several crashes and memory corruption issues Fixes opening several headerless files at once, which previously dropped all but one Improves batch export by suggesting and remembering the destination folder Fixes accented and non-Latin characters in VST plug-in and compressed-archive file names Adds zstd compression support and updates the archive library Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • I did think about a Echo show once and it would be useful to see what my cameras see. But my brother got one and I changed my mind. Adverts and not really worth the price just to see my cameras. I have a load of dots and a Echo Gen 4, they will do.
    • I asking where you are from or live, because if you don't live in the U.K, why are you so bothered? That is another reason I voted out, E.U and people poking their noses in where they should not be. Sadly we still have it, Trump, and his cronies. Putin as well and no doubt others. It makes no difference what we believe, if we made the right choice or not, we are out. As I said to someone when the news first broke we have voted out, we just need to make the best of it. I have no problems with closer ties to the E.U, we still need to trade. Just don't want to be in their club.
    • So you think I voted out because i am anti-immigrant. I am fed up with those that come over and think that we owe them something. The ones that are at the moment coming over from France where they are already in a safe country because they think and no doubt will get everything chucked at them. While people who were born and bred here get very little. I have nothing against as i have said before those that come here and work. In fact I know full well that our NHS would struggle without them. I do have a problem with those that come over here and try to push their religion and their way of life onto us. My reasons for voting out was because of what the E.U is and is also becoming. I did not agree with Freedom of movement, not because I don't want people over here, but because people need to be checked before being allowed to cross borders and that goes both ways. But my main thing was because the E.U is becoming if not already a united states of Europe. The only reason countries like Poland and Romania joined was because they had no money. When my partner left Poland, she had nothing, Poland had nothing, that is why she left. Wanted to learn something and earn a living. The E.U would have us back according to Michel Barnier. https://www.euronews.com/my-eu...ator-barnier-tells-euronews Why are you so scared to say what country you are in?
