Does anyone know if Decor8 can be made to run on windows 8 rt ? I haven't been able to get it to work. If it doesn't can it be made to? If not can anyone tell me where the start screen images are stored? I have been looking for days!!!

I avoided the whole iPad surge patiently waiting on a fully functional Windows tablet. So for Christmas my wonderful wife decided I had waited long enough! The Surface was finally released and getting good reviews so right before ordering I (me being me ) decided I should do some investigating . I had been wanting an Asus tablet because I have an awesome Asus laptop that will smoke most desktop PC's that has giving me a ton of trouble free service.(second Asus laptop) The last few months I have been extremely busy not even much time to SKIN (errrrrr) . So I have been behind on all the latest releases and low and behold the new Asus Tab had been released . So I started the comparison process....

1.  Price the same
2.  Processor the same
3.  Feature Asus had a slight edge ...built in gps sensor and a couple other Asus specifics
4.  Keyboard this was the biggest difference thin flexible from Microsoft or rigid dock from Asus .. I like the dock if I am home stable is good on road no need!
5.  However you have to mail in rebate to get the the keyboard free if purchased separate it is an additional $150

I am posting this from the tablet and all in all this is an amazing product faster than the iPads I have used (quadcore processor) beautiful graphics lightweight gorgeous product with full Windows, windows live ,sky drive integration. I have only spent a couple hours on it so far and haven't even run out 1battery charge yet but I will post more of my impressions as time permits.

Now if I could only SKIN Windows 8 I'd be ecstatic!!!

 Has anyone had any issue with CFX lately . I have always run the standard (free) version yesterday it just quit . The main reason for running the free one is that is a program that for years has been a big draw for Stardock and W.C. So I want my cursors to work perfect for even people new to skinning.

 So yesterday I had a few minutes so I was downloading and trying out cursors when one did not apply so I open CFX control panel and it did not show up checked the Task Manager and it says it is open and runnuing. After three unistalls and renistalls I stilll have the same results.I even went back and deleted the cursors I was downloading at the time of the incedent.

*Win 7 64

*Free Version CFX

 Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Thank you

I have been quietly working on this is 3Ds Max for a couple months noe and have avoided posting a screen shot untill I was sure I could make it all work. I am abou 70% complete now and thought I would share with yo what I have been working on. :)

 Through the years I have done a few "what are you working on" threads and "concept" threads. This is a different kind of concept thread ,the object of this thread is to promote the "undying" of graphics. LOL  

 If most of you are like me you do a lot of mock-up skins that never get finished either we move on to other projects , life gets in the way etc.... but so many times those old skins or graphics just dye or disappear for what ever reason.So what I want to do here is post some of my unfinished projects with permission for anyone who wants finish them.

 I also invite anyone else who has unfinished projects or mock-up skins ready for slicing ,if they are mock-ups please PSD's or PNG's only please.Skins maybe at any stage of completion but please include any graphics you have along with a permission text all in a zip. folder with a Screen Shot. I will be posting some examples.

Join me in sharing our graphics before they are lost forever! :)

 I am always coming up with Ideas some come to fruition while some don't. So I decided to start a concept thread to post those ideas and concepts!

Open to anyone but I would like it to stay conceptual in the terms of once it becomes a WIP we start a WIP thread for that particular skin.
