cheers hipster!!

 

[Hipster Doofus]

If you are using 'PatchXP' then you can't use Stylebuilder to make themes. Stylebuilder needs stylexp installed & if you are using the patch then you can't use stylexp.

 

[Evil Marge]

You don't need Style Xp............ I'm using PatchXP and am using Style Builder to make Themes and it works perfect

 

[Hipster Doofus]

When I went to install style builder it said you need stylexp loaded. Dang it. Must try again without stylexp & see what happens. I don't know if I'm happy or sad.
Of course first I have to download it again.

 

[Evil Marge]

Yeah Hipster it says that on mine but I just ignored it and carried on to see what happened........I spend hours messin with Style Builder and no one can get me off the computerIts a nifty program

 

[Hipster Doofus]

Looks like it is suckering people in to buy stylexp as well as style builder.

 

[Evil Marge]

That's EXACTLY what their doing.

Geez I feel like a complete moron among all of you peeps and I couldn't get to the flippin tutorial either. Just another AOL added feature.... how NOT to get to where you want to be, and guess what... it is absolutely FREE, like it or not. My vote today is NOT May the force be with you .....

 

[Hipster Doofus]

Hi Jolinda. If you still want the tutorial for themes try here. The link at the start of the thread is broken.

 

[Jolinda]

Hipster,

Thank you ever so much. I will print it out and see if I can work the thing.

 

[Hipster Doofus]

Nice sig. Load it to a web site. BoomSpeed is free hosting. Little bit of registration though. Then link it to your user cp for all to see.

 

[Jolinda]

Oh my Lord, I don't know much about operating systems or programs, Hipster, I took a look at it all and nearly fell off my chair. I think this is going to take me a bit to learn.

Signed: Thankful, but still confused.

 

[Jolinda]

Ok, so I have Boomspeed, how do I use it to get sig on here.

Told you I was good at this... so H E L P please if you can.

Okie dokie. Once you have your boomspeed account, log into it. Then look down the page a bit & you see a section where you can upload files. Don't worry about the index file it wants. Click on upload & then navigate to where you sig is on your hard drive. Click on it. Then up load it to boomspeed. Now if you look up you will see it there. Click on it. That will show you your sig picture. Right click in the address toolbar of internet explorer & select copy. Come back to the forum & go to your user cp. Scroll down to where your sig goes. Now type [img*]right click & paste the address here[/img*] without the *. Go to the forum & have a look at something you have already posted. There it is.

 

[Evil Marge]

Jolinda you sound just like me,computer illiterate

 

[Jolinda]

Hipster,

Thank you very much. If in the future you see my sig appear, you will know I was successful.


Evil Marge,

It is good to know I am NOT alone.


Signed: Still confused but dealing with it.

Jolinda or Jo

how do you make the desktop icons size bigger like 48X48 and so on?

 

[Hipster Doofus]

I use a web page, My Imager to resize my pics. Simple to use. When finished resizing just right click, save as.
