I'm not sure how familiar you may be with this blog, but away back in it, I've explained how users of Microsoft's Windows can make their own Windows Themes for it.
I've been one of the testers for both Windows 7 and Windows 10, and I'm still using the latest test version of Windows, so I'm quite familiar with it, if you have any questions. Alternatively, you might scroll back though it for a year or so, and see various instructional blogs about it.
That seems quite popular among my Russian readers, who are using that Google Translate gadget in the right-hand margin. Sometimes, I have up to a thousand a day checking in.
And I love that. If enough of us used Google Translate, and it did a good job of translations, we could probably settle most of our differences by chatting with one another. I have a pen pal in Beirut, and it works for us. We have a grand time comparing notes and exchanging smart remarks. He's fluent in English, French, and Arabic, but prefers French. So our exchanges are sometimes in English, and sometimes French.
I think the blog is fascinating. The tech stuff is a little beyond my level of interest/ability but it has some cool stuff nevertheless. I cheek in from time to time. I find our common interests amazing. For example, we have had digital FTA antenna for a few years now - same model as yours. I think it is great that you are engaging with a global audience.
And I'm glad you're adding a few comments. I don't get as many of those as I'd like.
That antenna didn't really help me. About 20 years ago, while I was trying to bring in an air signal from an FM station in Seattle, about 150 miles away, I put together my own antenna from a few pieces of TV Twinlead, and to keep its shape, I sandwiched that between two sheets of corrugated plastic board. It worked fine on the stereo, and last week I discovered it also brings in seven channels of digital TV. That new antenna I bought only brought in one more, and that was the Omni channel with all the foreign languages, which isn't a whole bunch of help to this old fart. So I gave that new antenna to my friend on the floor above, and I'm getting the digital TV from my own antenna instead.
And about that "global audience" - one of my treasured pen pals is in the U.K., and recently retired from owning and operating one of the very best "girlie sites" in the world today. He is also an expert on cameras, and gives me very good advice.
Lol. One of may favorite movies!
