Hello.  Wasn't sure where to post this suggestion since it's directed towards the site develpers more than anyone else.  

Has anyone considered encoding the ability to do searches based on color?  What I would like to be able to do is type 'blue' in the search box and get a listing of all items that are keyworded 'blue' (not just ones that have the word blue in the name/title).  This way I can find all WindowBlinds, IconPacks, Curtains, Cursors, etc. that are blue.  And, I wouldn't have to scroll through page after page of skins to find a skin that matches my desktop.  It would be an awesome feature to the search system.

You could possibly make that ability available specifically for subscribers as an added incentive to join Wincustomize.  Just my thought and wish.  Thanks for listening.

Hello.  I installed OD, Curtains, and CursorFX, no problem.  But when I tried to install WindowFX, I got an error code 5.  What is that error please?

No bad puns this time.

I did try in the ICONS Forum first, but after 21 hours and no answer, I'm hoping I'll find better luck here. I have had this problem for some time now. If I decide to change an individual icon, when I save the package, several icons will then display the incorrect icons. For ex.: .png images may all display an .ini file instead of .png files. And if I go and then try to correct the .png files other files become messed up and it just kinda snowballs. Why is this happening and more importantly what can I do to correct it? The biggest headache is that I sometimes have to re-download and re-install the icon package to get everyting back to normal. This can be a nightmare when you're stuck using dial-up. Very frustrating. Any help will be appreciated.

First off permit me to apologize for the horribly, horribly bad pun. I just thought that it might catch someone's attention.

This can be a ngihtmare when you're stuck using dial-up. X-( Very frustrating. Any help will be appreciated. :)

Hi people! I was just surfing the site when I stumbled upon an IP called [I][B]Cryo64 Colossus[/B][/I] (I know that it's been around here for a while, but [I]I[/I] just discovered it) and thought that this pack was so cool that I would build a desktop around it.

So before I go and slog through TONS of skins and wallpapers (why don't people add a color tag to their stuff? X-( ) could you offer some suggestions on skins and/or wallpapers that you think will look good with this icon pack?

Here's a visual refresher if you need it: [link="http://arnaez.wincustomize.com/skins.aspx?skinid=1349&libid=2"][I][B]Cryo64 Colossus[/B][/I][/link]

And here is a screenshot: [link="https://www.wincustomize.com/zoom.aspx?skinid=1349&libid=2"]Screenshot for [I][B]Cryo Colossus[/B][/I][/link]

I know that there are both a skin and some wall links on the Cryo page, but that's not what I'm looking for. I'm looking for something along the lines of green or gray & green or metallic & green. Hope that helps in your suggestions. And I don't necessarily need the link as long as I have enough info to do a search. (Title, Author, Webpage, something like that)

Thanks for your suggestions and once I get it all put together I will credit those whose advice I took in the screenshot.

Thanks! :CONGRAT:

Standard fair (fare?) at our house this year. My son wanted a Wii, but I [i][b]refused[\b][\i] to pay more than retail for the thing, even though I want it just as much as he does. $600 or more for one?!? Come on!!! X-( I'll just wait for my tax refund and get it for him in February or March. So anyway, what about you? Did you get that cool tech item that you wanted? Just wondering. Have a good one!

[size="2"][font="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"]This may seem like a silly question, but does anyone have an idea as to how difficult it would be to make WindowBlinds, IconPackager and CursorXp portable? I've been using John Haller's [link="http://www.portableapps.com/"]PortableApps.com[/link] to put progs like Firefox, Thunderbird and Pidgin (an IM proggie) on my usb drive an then use them on computers at work and elsewhere because they're run totally from the flash drive. So all I need now is to be able to take WB, IP, and CXP with me wherever I go and I would be one extremely happy camper. Now how cool is that?[/font] :) [/size]

I recently paid a visit to the [I]My Colors[/I] website at Stardock Design and saw a couple of very cool themes there that might make wonderful gifts for some sports/computer enthusiast that I know. So, I was wondering if Stardock Design gives a discount on purchases to Wincustomize/ODNet subscribers ?

I've begun to try out Linux, and was wondering how many of you out there are using it, do you like it, how are you using it? As a dual boot, primary OS or just occasionally? I'd love to cross over from Micro$oft, but two things keep me tied to the Evil Empire, first and foremost is Stardock and all the goodies that they have and second are the games that I have purchased for my son to play. If not for those two things I'd make the jump in a hot second.
