shockme17 Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 What caused this change? Hackintosh? Parallels? Link to comment
Paralex Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 It's been dead for well over 5 years now. It's harder to mod OS X and Windows now, especially since the release of Windows 8. There always will be nostalgia here though. Link to comment

Duckie Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 As one of the original admins here, I certainly miss a lot about what we did back then. I moved on from all this, after learning more and more about UI, design, etc, into websites. I still dabble in Android mods, themes, and such, but most of that is done on the XDA forums. I am glad this forum is still here for posterity. It's a nice slice of history. Timan and Clockwork - CHIME IN! Link to comment
GameBoyzGB Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 Hey Duckie!! I'm surprised that some of the old timers are still here. I just got out of my 5 year contract where I didn't have any time to even browse the old familiar sites that I have been frequenting. Ever since it has been easier to run hackintoshes instead of emulating the look on windows 7 and 8, that is in my opinion one of the reasons why the slow down on sites like these. Link to comment
ClockWise Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 Hey Duckie! I'm really glad that Timan pays to keep the lights on over here. This is a slice of history that I hope doesn't disappear anytime soon. I'll swing by every five or six months. Another reason that this place is slow might be that forums themselves are a pretty antiquated idea. People communicate and share stuff in entirely different ways. My own forum is still kicking, meanwhile. Do stop by: http://emaculation.com/forum/ Link to comment
bh2 Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 Pretty much gone I think... I reckon most of us went over to macs (I'm on my second). Still pretty much into theming though... I went over to MacThemes when Shapeshifter was the main engine, now I'm on Yosemite using Flavours - ah! the nostalgia! Tend to hang out at MacRumours these days. It's nice to come back now and again though! Link to comment

Exactly, today people prefer make Hackintosh or OS X Virtualization or directly buy Mac rather than change the Windows visual style. I did it myself Or even most people no longer has interest in the visual style and personalization. Just look at the new OS flat and shabby skin. Anyway this forum with customization section especially, is a piece of history on the web, I hope it never will be deleted. Edited November 23, 2015 by 1Al Link to comment
dpsleep Posted May 15, 2016 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 Came back here today to find the name of an artist I was a fan of back in the day. I ended up going though a bunch of my old post's, it's weird to read something I wrote in my teens... I ended up just buying macs when I finally got a decent job, on a 2015 macbook pro 15" now. Looking back, everything we did was such a hack job, but it was all so much fun. I don't think I would have ever poked at the internals of windows as much as I did if it wasn't for this place, learned a lot. I really wish I didn't host everything I made here on my damn comcast account though :( Anyways, miss this site, was the first online forum I felt I was a part of. As long as it's up i'm sure i'll end up poking around here again. Thanks Timan! Link to comment
shockme17 Posted February 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 Just checking in on 2018. Glad to see the forum still here. good memories. i've had this account longer than anything I own lol 15 years! Link to comment
Duckie Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 Representing the old OLD school over here. Hey guys. Tim (or whoever keeps hosting this), keeping this up in perpetuity? Link to comment
DaffyDuck Posted May 4, 2018 Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 Funny, two ducks posting in a row. It’s just unfortunate that Timan just bailed on the site, and apparently never looked back (not even changed or customized the theme) - though grateful that he keeps it going. Link to comment
GameBoyzGB Posted November 28, 2020 Report Share Posted November 28, 2020 Hey Duckie in case you catch this, although just about everyone has moved on from theming, I would still dabble once in a while and just recently decided to make a windows version of Apple's calculator and System Preferences including the little nuances that you see in Mac OS versions. It's just something to do to keep my mind sharp in my old age. Link to comment
MageGuru Posted January 14, 2021 Report Share Posted January 14, 2021 Well I still exist... but as I predicted back in 2002/03, Apple moved to the Intel platform in 2006. So I completely lost interest as Hackintosh became a reality, so there was no reason to skin windows anymore, since you could run the real thing. Link to comment

I really wanna get a shot of that nostalgia Link to comment
GameBoyzGB Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 Still work in progress. Link to comment
GameBoyzGB Posted February 11, 2022 Report Share Posted February 11, 2022 Sorry a virus got my drive and deleted most of my stuff which was why I never got to share the calculator. I found a partially working older version which is still buggy but I guess those who are interested might like to test it. Hopefully you will be able to download what I uploaded here. You need the calculator.exe and Newtonsoft.Json.dll in the same folder for it to work. Calculator.zip Link to comment
