I just noticed something happening, and at first I thought I was going crazy. It's quite difficult to describe, so bear with me.......<br/><br/>If I open two windows side by side on my desktop and put them near the top of the screen, they are both the same colour and contrast. Obviously, you might say. However, If I then grab one of those windows and slowly move it towards the bottom of the screen, it gets lighter and lighter the further I move it down, until if I drag it all the way down so that...]]></description><guid isPermaLink="True">http://boxxi.joeuser.com/article/172221</guid><link>http://boxxi.joeuser.com/article/172221</link><pubDate>Thu, 03 Jul 2008 21:25:33 -0400</pubDate><pubDateParsed>2008-07-04T01:25:33</pubDateParsed><title>Really Strange problem</title></item><item><author>BoXXi</author><comments>http://boxxi.joeuser.com/article/164677</comments><description><![CDATA[I just started using this messenger type program, seems really cool.

As I have ranted about in my previous blog, I have never been one to jump on fashionable bandwagons to gain downloads or fame, but as my new website nears completion and I began to look at selling some premium skins, I realised I would have to compete with the trends of the day or remain graphically "off the wall" and retain my artistic integrity. Now, I do know what makes a fashionable skin, and creating the grap...]]></description><guid isPermaLink="True">http://boxxi.joeuser.com/article/2705</guid><link>http://boxxi.joeuser.com/article/2705</link><pubDate>Thu, 03 Jul 2008 21:25:33 -0400</pubDate><pubDateParsed>2008-07-04T01:25:33</pubDateParsed><title>The Integrity Project</title></item><item><author>BoXXi</author><comments>http://boxxi.joeuser.com/article/2328</comments><description><![CDATA[I have tried many of the color pickers that are available, but I have to say that this tiny program from Nattyware is by far the best one I have come across. It's called "Pixie", it's tiny, and it's free! it weighs in at only 8kb's in use, so I don't mind having it running in my tray the whole time I am working. If you are just starting out in skinning, or even if you are an experienced skinner or designer, this little tool will become indispenable in your skinning armoury.

I wasn't expecting this skin to do very well due to it's all round fat frame, but I have been heartened by the many comments saying that the size of the frame doesn't matter, as long as the skin is attractive and works well.<br/><br/><br/><br/>I have never been one to worry about the general size of a frame in WindowBlinds, preferring to get my artistic idea...]]></description><guid isPermaLink="True">http://boxxi.joeuser.com/article/2221</guid><link>http://boxxi.joeuser.com/article/2221</link><pubDate>Thu, 03 Jul 2008 21:25:33 -0400</pubDate><pubDateParsed>2008-07-04T01:25:33</pubDateParsed><title>Bucking the trends in WB skinning</title></item><item><author>BoXXi</author><comments>http://boxxi.joeuser.com/article/1219</comments><description><![CDATA[Well, this should be fun! This is where I will write down my random thoughts on skinning, graphics, computers and life in general. I also hope to pass on tips to those just starting out in the graphics community, because being technically challenged myself, I know how helpful those little bits of information can be.<br/>So, call back again later to read my first article, which I will write when I can gather all the bits of information flying around inside my head, and place them into some sort of r...]]></description><guid isPermaLink="True">http://boxxi.joeuser.com/article/1219</guid><link>http://boxxi.joeuser.com/article/1219</link><pubDate>Thu, 03 Jul 2008 21:25:33 -0400</pubDate><pubDateParsed>2008-07-04T01:25:33</pubDateParsed><title>Welcome Everyone</title></item></channel></rss>
