I want to start this post saying that my deepest gratitude to the WC community will never be enough. :D Today I got the first status reports for the first 2 weeks of opening and I must to confess that I was VERY surprised. :SURPRISED: Since day one we are receiving an average of 13.000+ unique visitors per day and the hits are over 1.500.000 already. :) Another very interesting info that I also got today is that at least, 25% of the visitors already came back to visit it a second time. :D So, once again, THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH ENDEED for you wonderful support. !ronaldo!

After a few months of work, I believe that soon I will be able to launch the new site in one or two more weeks http://www.treetog.com/ . The site will be more focused to my comercial work, but as I always did, I will continue to make skins for free, but posting them here.

To celabrate the openning of the web site a complete suite is in the works, containing a full windowblinds 5 skin, an IconPackager theme with icons up from 16x16 to 256x256, cursor xp, logon xp, boot skin, sysmetrix and rainlendar skin.

So keep your eyes openned! ;)

In time: My email adress have changed, it is now renatoveras@treetog.com

Have Fun! !ronaldo!

I am trying to make some research about wireless internet connection.
Recently I heard about this WiMAX technology....is that something that you guys knows about?
Any input will be much appreciated. !ronaldo!

During the last months I have being using all my extra time to work on a new suite. Even being a professional skinner I never lost the pleasure of skinning for fun and believe me, this time was not different.

It is a suite composed by windowblinds skin, icon packeger, cursor xp, bootskin, logon xp, sysmetrix and rainlendar.

Yesterday (October 1st.) Pixtudio.com made it's fourth aniversary and I was planning to make those new toys to comemorate it's birthday, but....

At this point, I am on the last part, but 3 days ago I got a very nasty virus that hitted my hard drive with the power of a tsunami.

 Fortunatly I had backup of all my work so the lost was not huge, but I spent the last 2 days formating, installing, installing and installing stuff.

I was planning to to release te suite today or tomorrow, but because of that, it will delay a bit, but definetly,  just for a few days. !ronaldo!

I have being sport fishing in all kind of ways during the last 40 years. During this time I did surf casting fishing, bait casting fishing in salt and fresh watter, fly fishing in salt and fresh water, bill fishing, etc... in more places that i can remember. I am totally addicted, in a terminal stage.

I know that Capt. Craig from this site is also a fishing fanatic and we allready exchange some emails related to that....anyone else have that disease?

I have a few questions about GUI Olympics rules and I guess other may have too, so I started this thread trying to concetrate all doubst in just one place.

My questions are:

1- In the rules of the contest, when you say "The other two judges from Stardock will come from the community".

Question: What oud be the criterium for choosing those persons?

2- Again, In the rules of the contest, when you say "All skins and icons must be new. They can't be something that's existed on any other site previously. They also must be exclusive to the GUI Olympics (i.e. you can't go uploading them around the net)"

Not even to Wincustomize.com, like in the 2002 contest?

I am posting this because Johanne is having a very wierd problem today, her Norton was disabled by his own and now she is find some hard time on making it active again.

Did some of you is having this problem too? IF so, suggestions on how to do it, will be welcome.

btw, over 5000 viruses emails just today, so far. >

If you are thinking about creating a Logon XP screen, please take something in consideration.

This is an easy app to be skinned, but we (the moderators) are seeing several new themes that are being made just using a wallpaper background.

Please understand that Logons are NOT just a single wallpaper. They shell have also skinned the buttons, that are not that much and are easy to do, so, please don't think lazy and make them too, to have the theme done. 

From now on, all the themes that are not complete will be rejected from the moderators as are other skinned programs.

If you are going to upload a file, please be sure that you rad the guidelines before submiting your file.

Every single day we moderate 10 to 15 files from people that try to upload files that contain images created by other authors without permission.

This takes a lot of time of the admins, because we need to send an email saying allways the same thing.

If you are using an image that was not created by you, PLEASE ask for a written permission from the original author, other then that, your file will be rejected.

So, AGAIN, please READ the guidelines!
