Neil,

Great Skins! http://www.pocketnow.com/ubb/biggrin.gif I've been using it all day, and every time I look over at my PPC I like it even more! A couple of questions: http://www.pocketnow.com/ubb/confused.gif

1. Where is the Aqua-colored skin available at? I've only seen the yellow one on your website.
2. Is there a way to "Bold" the Title & Clock font? I notice on your screen shots that they are a much heavier font that on my screen. How did you manage that one???

Thanks,

Click here (http://www.umich.edu/~nef/ChimeraDB_Aqua.zip) to download the zip archive with the replacement images for the aqua look...just copy these image files into the same folder as the original chimera skin (they will overwrite the original images).

As for the fonts you see in my screenshots...don't believe everything you see...some of the text you see was created by my graphics software for the purpose of clarity and expedience. http://www.pocketnow.com/ubb/smile.gif

Thanks Neil!

I thought the fonts might be...um...enhanced! (Kind of like Britney Spears). Do you know of any way to modify the fonts used in the PPC either through a registry hack or some 3rd party application?

Thanks! Did you receive the Chimera_Aqua complete Dashboard skin that I emailed you? I used SkinMe to make it a separate skin so that I could easily switch back and forth. http://www.pocketnow.com/ubb/smile.gif
