    It's super easy to do web design. I'm not really for it though, i want to work with computers and keep the programming to a minimal but programming makes me more money so i'll have to go with it if i want to buy any tech.

    I use html and css. I like to use the basics unless the site needs it because it's a better choice overall if you want to make a good site. It's kind of hard to explain but any web designer will tell you the same thing.

    Thanks for making it a portable application. So many require installs, which just clutters the registry. I'd rather just double click and run.

    I've been using winbubble for a little while now and i think it has a lot of potential but i have a few suggestions:
    The much wanted better GUI
    Better organized site
    The program has better tweaks and gets rid of the unnecessary ones. Also, when i tried to apply some tweaks to my bubbles screen saver it didn't work.
    Great program but you still have a ways to go! :D

    My thoughts:

    WinBubble 1.5 is a very nice upgrade to the previous version.

    The GUI is a lot better yet still retains it's simplistic look.

    Program is still very small.

    My only complaint is that you still need to add tons more useful tweaks because right now all i really used it for is the decrease my shutdown time and change my screensaver.

    Calvin, Thanks for the good comments...
    Anyway, That's my plan for the next version of WinBubble.

    This version is focus on useful Customizations and important optimizations.

    The Next version will be full of Miscellaneous Tweaks and Customizations.

    *I'm having some difficulty in giving more time for the development of WinBubble. Because of my work... I'm too exhausted. But I ENJOYED coding WinBubble and replying to the feedbacks of the users...haha!

    I love to make more useful utilities in the future but my problem is that, in the future I will have to choose between my work or Developing applications.
    Any suggestions for my problem?

    I say that you should organize your schedule better so that you can work and sleep as much as you need and then work on your programs in your spare time along with (probably) being with your family. It'll take a lot of planning but it'll be worth it in the end. :D

    Ok, Thanks...I have tried some of the tweaks and they are backward compatible with XP...So, I'm thinking of creating a new version...

    What's the name???

    WinBubbleXP...haha!

    Some send me a question...how about the screensaver thing?
    If you downloaded the ported XP version you can use the config...
    BUT i'm not planning to include these features...

    Well when i use winbubble, i like that it's vista only and stuff. If it came out for xp (which, IMO is much easier to customize whether you're a noob or not) that would ruin the exclusive feeling i get when i use it.

    I agree..these tweaks are special only to vista....

    what is the point of making it for XP if the same can be done and most people already know how to tweak XP since it's been out for so long???....however, vista is more of a pain in the butt...and therefore, needs programs such as this to help one customize it

    One thing i have to say Lawrence, is that it would be nice if you could include an easy to read guide, and or readme on the site and in the program folder to be read at first run.
