I'm a "newby" member of neowin, and I guess it shows. I want to download one of Herby's PowerDVD 7 skins, but all I see is a small box with a red x within instead of the image. If I click on one of them I get an "unauthorized" error message from his virtualplastic web site. It's like I'm not logged in or something. What the heck am I doing wrong???

Thanks for your help.

I found a couple torrents for the skins at isoHunt and Demonoid.

I tried emailing Herby, but his email address doesn't work. Could anyone provide a step by step guide to creating/modifying a PowerDVD 7 skin? Herby's instructions don't make anys sense to me. I have no clue about XML files. PowerDVD 6 was easy, all you had to do was replace a bitmap in a DLL.

I downloaded the BitTorrent files of the skins and they work GREAT! I personally like the Earthlights skin. Thanks for pointing us in the right direction Yochanan.

I'm going to try to add them as attachments to this post, but as a newbie, I'm not sure how this will turn out.

HI !! folks

Great site :jump: .

Well done Herby and NIKTO (Y)

just two questions.

I'd like to try to make skins(for (powerDVD7) by myself, I read in this thread that there is a guide in the "help" section, but I could not find it.

can you tell me where is it? or anyway how do I make skins?

The second one:

I downloaded the BioHazard from rapidshare, but the guy above says"somehow, rapidshare just doesn't like me".

I don't know that site at all, is it maybe dangerous or what?

Thanks in advance.

ps

Ps Sorry for my English, If it is incorrect, I hope it would be understandable at least :(

Here's my contribution, basic black: Onyx BF

- used Herby's work as a guide

- modded stock PowerDVD 7 "Onyx" skin

- used the following Herby features, but left "Feature Icons" and stock speed controls:

* removed: DVD logo, Cyberlink logo's, Color themes & the Upgrade button

* changed the AutoHideDuration (Fullscreen) to 1000 (= 1 second) instead of 3000

* replaced the Backgrounds.

Onyx BF Skin:

PS:

- had to ask Cyberlink Support for link to skins since built-in skin downloader does not work

- very quick reply with FTP link in less than 8hrs

    • It won't perform hugely better than the 3080 unless you're VRAM limited in games. Have you tried putting new thermal pads on them 3080 and giving it a good clean to see if you can regain your temps and overclock?
    • Windows 95 offered the ability to add and edit the right click menus, on a per file type basis. This feature seems to be missing in the new file explorer. Are they bringing it back as a "new" feature?
    • It's nearly time to replace my aging Founders Edition 3080, it doesn't OC as nicely as it used to and it's running around 10c warmer than it did when I first bought it.  I don't have budget for much more than what I spent on the 3080 and locally, that means the best GPU I can manage is a 9070XT. On this basis I have a few questions: 1. At present I don't use ray tracing, if this was to change, would this GPU be an issue? 2. How does it compare on a performance basis? 3. Are the drivers worse or better than those for nVidia? 4. Linux support, is it there? 5. Anything else I should be aware of if I were to make this change? 6. Is it a good idea or shall I try and keep the 3080 a little longer.
    • What OS is that? It looks a bit like Mac OS but the command line suggests it isn't, either way I like it!
