Reply to Is GUI skinning fading? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

In the other hand, people are maki

"Yeah, you might be right on that one sput but I just don't think that I couldn't order the domain name skindicate.com because there was 1 single suite released under that name in the year 2001."

Joetheblow: suggestion, if you make&nbspimages in 256x256, when youreduce them into 16x16, you will have a dramatic lost of quality, the resizing range is away too big.
