One last message from me on the site...
I understand that all my requests for improving and adding elements to a theme will not be acted upon by "Jorge" until I give in to downloading themes from the unofficial Winstep gallery.
I'm a jerk and I won't give in to blackmail...
I'll make one last request, though, which I hope will get a response. I don't understand why there isn't a mouseover on "WsCallLeftArrow" and "WsCallRightArrow" like you can find on "Rainlendar." It would be wise, and probably easy, to integrate it, like for example "WsCallLeftArrowM" and "WsCallRightArrowM," as you can also see for "WsPrefsM" and others. It's a detail that's been bothering me for a long time. As for my other requests, which I've made several times, I can do without them.
This is my final request, and "Jorge" will do as he wishes.
Despite the disagreements, I express my deepest respect for "Jorge" and the others (Moderators and Users)...

Nobody is "blackmailing" anybody, Picco, and you were never banned either, so stop playing the "woe is me" lol. It's just that I obviously don't feel like doing "favors" to someone that refuses to reciprocate when I ask him to do one for me. How would you feel if you had a "friend" who kept asking you for stuff but when you needed him he was nowhere to be found? Bet you wouldn't be too happy about him either.

I already explained my reasons for asking you to upload your themes to the Winstep gallery, and wether you believe it or not it's not even for me, it's because I REALLY hate to see good themes/art disappear forever - and I even explained why with the story of what happened to Skinz.org.

How would you feel if somebody could have saved the Mona Lisa from a fire but chose not to "because they didn't feel like it"?! Last month we were all one hair away from another disaster: it is nothing short of a miracle that Stardock was able to bring Wincustomize back.

On our last interaction here you also seemed to think that me and the moderator Nexter were playing some kind of "good cop, bad cop" routine on you when nothing could be further from the truth. I can only assume this came from the perspective of being an ex-cop, but I can assure you that not everything that glitters is gold.

As for mouse over bitmaps for the calendar arrows, it can be added. The reason it wasn't is because a) nobody had asked for it yet and b) desktop modules do not usually have mouseover bitmaps.

Anyway, I'm currently working on very complex stuff for the next release (having to do with per-monitor high DPI support), but I'll see what I can do.

Since you never came back to read my reply (and it's been 20 days now) all I can do is assume you fell off a cliff or something... :D

Bonjour Jorge,
Du calme, bien sûr que j'ai lu votre réponse le jour même (07/05/2025 à 08h14), pas besoin d'être connecté pour lire...
Que voulez-vous que je réponde à ce tas de conneries sur la "Joconde" et bien d'autres de vos réponses...
Ah, si peut-être, A l'heure actuelle, avec toutes les tensions mondiales (Proche-Orient, Moyen-Orient, Chine, Russie, Ukraine, Etats-Unis, Europe et j'en passe) si une bombe nucléaire tombait sur Paris, on s'inquiéterait plus du nombre de mort que du sort de la "Joconde".
Je n'aime pas du tout vos réponses à mes posts qui sont toujours respectueux envers vous et vos modérateurs.
Jamais un mot amical ou respectueux, toujours un air condescendant, plein d'amertume et un humour qui frise la limite (Je comprends Ex-flic, tombé de la falaise, j'aime le soleil il désinfecte tout et tant d'autres)...
Je serai modérateur, je vous aurai déjà mis un avertissement...
Et vous savez quoi "Allez vous faire voir chez les "Papous" comme ont dit parfois en France.
Ma fois après tout ça, s'il vous arrive un jour de passer par "TOULOUSE en France", contactez-moi par mail, je me ferrai un plaisir de vous inviter au restaurant pour discuter amicalement bien sûr et passer un bon moment ensemble, je suis sérieux sans animosité...
Allez, sans rancune...
Cordialement, je signe...
Picco14.

Yeah, borderline humor, that's me. :D

Come on, you're not Asterix, don't use the sky about to fall on our heads as an excuse to do nothing lol. Just save the damn Mona Lisa already and stop procrastinating. :lol:

Plus, you're having fun, admit it, I don't need to be an ex-cop to recognize the MO.

Anyway, likewise, if you ever happen to pass through Lisbon or the whereabouts on holidays, I too would be happy to invite you to a nice restaurant by the beach for a bit of nicely flavored Portuguese food.

Hey, if Paris were being nuked, none of us would have time or inclination to worry about the number of dead - we'd be joining them very quickly. :P (If we're lucky that is - nobody in their right mind would want to survive a nuke war.)

Sorry, I really can't take this business seriously. I looks to me too much like somebody's looking for attention... Hence, I shall refrain from further comment rather than further supplying any such attention.
