  1. Weekly Skinning Competition

    THIS WEEKS THEME: DOCK

    Hosted by Simon Brown, Theme chosen by The Bird

    While Mike is away from the forums, i'll be hosting WSC.

    A dock

    As chosen by the bird

    -----------------------------------------------------------------

    This week's theme, as chosen by @The Bird is a dock. Some popular docks include the native dock on OSX and RocketDock for Windows. Unlike the taskbar, a dock's purpose is purely to launch and switch between programs.

    -----------------------------------------------------------------

    Check the Weekly Skinning Competition Rules!

    If your entry breaks any of the rules it will be disqualified.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------

    • The deadline is four days after the 4th entry is posted.
    • There is no maximum image size, but you are limited to THREE images per entry, and if any of the images are larger than 800x800, please LINK to it instead!
    • No crude / offensive language, pics, et cetera.
    • Unlike previous incarnations of Skinning Competitions, the theme focuses on a single element. Do not stray from the theme!
    • Only one entry per person and no modifications to your image are allowed after submitting your entry.
    • You must post the URLs to any and all stock images used in your entry.
    • You are allowed one post in this topic. That post should include your entry, links to your source images.
    • Beyond these rules, if the competition host finds that the entry is clearly inappropriate for one reason or another, he or she may disqualify that entry without warning
    • Note also that the winner of the current Weekly Skinning Competition gets to choose the subject for the next competition!

    ------------------------------------------------------------------

    This thread is for posting your entries only!

    Which means there is no excuse for making a non-entry post.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------

    If you wish to talk about one of the entries you can do so here.

    If a comment or other non-entry post is mistakenly made in this thread, it will be moved without penalty to the discussion thread. Just don't be surprised when it magically jumps over there. ;)

  2. What are you using to write the rest of the book?

    In any case, if you use MS Office 2007, you can install a plugin from Microsoft that will let you save PDFs. The only problem is, you can't open them - but since you have the images, you could try see if they accept a PDF created "from scratch."

    The last time I used OpenOffice (I don't install Java now), it could export PDFs. I don't know whether it can open them.

    Edit: I guess there's Acrobat.com as well.

  3. This link may be helpful re: using 7-zip

    to extract the Ed Harvey zipfile.

    Ed Harvey says he's fixed it, though.

    I have finally figured-out what causes the IE bug to surface (only took me 2 years :roll: )

    It's complicated and very boring, but you may be pleased to know that have re-configured the download server and it appears to have stopped the problem...

    Yay :D
