Hi,
I'm after a dll that skins windows, if you don't know which one I'm talking about check out the link below. The problem is when I click on his download link I get the "Page cannot be displayed" message. So I was wondering if anyone could send it to me or tell me where I could get it?

It was back in 2003, I tried looking around his site but I could not find it.

Try the news letters there might be something there.

Hi,

Sorry about that, I reorganized the site and the file hasn't been put back up. I'll look around and see if I've still got it around.

Are you using the latest update? The original code relied on the GlobStruct for the window handle so I don't think it'd work with U5.8 I'll try and find the time to remake it.

I managed to find the source code for the old DLLs and have done a little tweaking. Make sure to take a look at the read me. Terms of usage are the same as the previous versions, use it for anything you want, and I don't need credit.

For anyone who's downloaded this, please re-download, I'm using the Free VC++ 2k3 Toolkit and I couldn't find a certain header I needed. I did find it and I've since found out that I'm not allowed to compile against it, the new download is almost exactly the same, infact the DLLs are smaller.

Silent, I wanted to say thanks for this DLL

It really added some neat little artistic aspects to my compo entry, RoboMen

Just wanted to make sure that you didn't go un-credited for it, and I wanted to give thanks

Jess.
