Deviation Actions
so its been a while since my last journal, and also my activities here in dA
I hate giving hope of something i started to think i won't be able to do, fixing Border Skin bugs and updating it to a newer versions, my development seems to be very slow, don't get me wronge i adore Border Skin, it was and still my first to be published project, gave me a boast in the computer field in general i wouldn't dream of, but its complexity and size as a project to achieve something deep down in myself i know it can't be as good as the original, and to be developed mainly for one operating system, i don't know, maybe that's why i am developing it that slow, and add all that to the feeling of guilt really depressed me
but my really main considered reason is this new project, to compete with a shareware with no other freeware available to support the three windows systems together, to provide an alternative in a very wanted customization category is a very attractive challenge, and challenge is my love, most of my coding time is spent on this new software, the rest for Border Skin
since my main concern is for my users, i considered opening source Border Skin and make it available for another developer to develop, but i feel i am not ready for this, i know i know, not ready, what the hell that is suppose to mean, but i really don't know
I just don't want to be a kind of person that leaves something old i love for something new i also love, and to not to mention disappoint lots of people after giving them hope, i am just really distracted
so, what do u think guys ?? i really need some advice over here
anyway as an apology gift, i present u an early screen shot of this new project, which really clears what is about, i know that it is absolutely wrong to publish such photo in a very early stage, but anything for my friends and users

BorderSkin Development Status, opensource announce
Hi all,
I wanted to share the current development status with BorderSkin.
There will be no development for new features like Aero Shake and Aero Snap in BorderSkin, but BorderSkin will have support for 64Bit windows, I am still haven't tested it on Windows 8 though.
Backward comparability
Before anything, I just wanted to say that any changes that I have done takes in consideration backward compatibility with the current themes, nothing will be affected (I hope (A) ).
Converting from VB.NET to C#
I originally developed BorderSkin in a scripting language called AutoIt but this version wasn't released then I rewrote the whole the program
I AM BACKKKKKKKK
yup, that's right, i finished high school, i am back to developing, oh i can't believe it, i will be a college student from now on, since i intend to specialize in computer, so developing my projects are now considered as part of my studying, yeahhhh finally, studying and developing meet at last, i've been waiting for this day for a long time
anyway, now i have two major projects, Border Skin and the other new unrevealed software yet, so i guess i should the main focus should be more the new software, of course with bug fixing Border Skin, so what do u think ??
and thanks guys for supporting me all this time :)
Heyyyyyyyyyyyy everybody
I am very sorry for all users for not replying on the bugs or errors they faced
i rarely log in, yeah i know, it's takes very very long time for me to put an update or something, but its school, my exams are in three weeks actually and then i am free, anyway i take notes about every comment that contain a suggestion, bug report or an error and i read all the comments, i don't ignore anything
i am planning to develop newer versions of border skin after exams, but won't have any new features, just bug fixes, stability and performance improvements
that's because i am planning for a new software in a category where there's no freeware availabl
Proud To Be Egyptian
First of all, as usual, apologize for the inactivity, and for not replying any message
And thanks to all who :+fav:, :+devwatch:, gave a lama :)
It's been a while since my last activity here, well my activity here was already very weak, because of my school, and so as for my border skin development, i was checking and replying from time to time the messages here but what happened recently in Egypt, made me with no activity at all http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian_Revolution_of_2011
I can't describe the feeling when Mubarak stepped down, it was like finally, we got our country back, i don't have the words to describe these days, all i k

Border Skin is an amazing program!
What it achieves (looks, blur, address bar, etc.) is beyond what most XP users thought possible.
But IMHO it still has some significant stability/interaction issues, especially with Explorer, so unfortunately I prefer not to use it for the time being.
But if you are still working on fixes, let me know and I will send you a detailed report
