You make it seems as if only dogs have this fluid.

I don't recall ever making that assumption.  I was just making a quick simple answer to a question.  That post was rather long and I must admit full of errors.  That's an unfortunate side effect of the internet.  There are way too many sites, of every topic, giving out misinformation.  Google will not always get you the right answer.  I'll stick with my Anatomy books at med school.
 
Well I admit the picture on my home computer doesn’t exactly fit the screen dimensions.
To post an actual screenshot would require storing it on my thumb drive and then copying it over to my work computer for uploading on my site.

Of course taking a screenshot of my work computer is simple since I was already using it to write that post.

But the shape of my home computer is odd; it’s a notebook with a wide screen.


What do you do for a living?? I see CS and FF VII on your work computer lol

I make video games.
Before I got my notebook, my work computer was also my personal computer.
I still use it for some personal things but now I try to keep everything on my own computer.
But I still play all first-person shooter games on my work computer because the keyboard/mouse is easier to use for that.

I came off a bit harshly without intending to do so.
And I didn’t mean to imply you were flat-out wrong or that you would purposely provide misinformation.
I wasn’t sure where you were getting your information, but science in general has had a death-grip on my curiosity since I was a child, and the mechanics of eyesight was one thing that peeked my curiosity from an early age.
More recently, I got a refresher on the relationship between the eye and carotene on The Discovery Channel (the only network I watched until they decided to replace it with some damn Thai news show).

So, yes, there is a load of misinformation floating about online, but I flagged your original post as erroneous because it conflicted with the things I had known from my own offline studies.
In this case, I used online research to get the exact terms for the reflective layers in each type of eye, and found out a few things along the way.


But I didn’t mean to step on your toes.
Sorry.
On one hand I felt it was like your time to shine, and I didn’t want to ruin it.
But on the other hand the information was a bit flawed and I didn’t want to allow that either.
I chose one evil over the other.

It's really ok, it is all just text on screen anyhow.  I wouldn't get mad at many people on this forum anyways because there isn't a malicious intent.  I just know that I'm not a programmer, I'm a very tired med student.  I work my tail off and pay my own way at JHU and have been doing so for five years now.

I just would never think of correcting you or many of the other talented programmers on this site.  It would be even more salt in the wound if I said I had snatched these sources online. (One of which seems to be copyright of 1995)  The anatomy and functions of the human eye differ from human to any animal.  I have to study all this crap and I'm never going to be working on a dog.  All of this stuff about a dogs eye is completly off topic from "Post Your Desktop" and is not worth hurt feelings or egos.  I value the friendships I hope I have made here more than picking out erroneous information on trivial, for many of us, useless information.
 
Sorry if I am a bother, but what *free* programs and sites are there for changing your themes? WindowBlinds seems to be fairly nice although isn't free; I could buy it however if push comes to shove.

Q: What *preferably free* applications and sites do you guys use for your XP visual themes?
 
I used Style XP sometime ago. Quit using though because I didn't like it anymore and no longer had need for it. It's quite sophisticated and you can change almost everything.

I'm not linking, not sure if that's allowed. I believe it's not freeware. However Google is your friend and hit 5 or something like that is a site where one could acquire it in a more or less "legal" way.
 
While I don't remember the exact facts, I know there is a patch for Windows, that allows you to use 3rd party themes without any sort of skinning program, like windowblinds or stylexp. it involved replacing a file which i believe was called uxtheme.dll or something along those lines w/a patched one, in your system32 folder. i haven't really done that much with it, i've only found a theme that makes the taskbar and windows look just like the default Windows Media Center edition theme (called Royale). there should be other themes out there that you can use.

i'm wondering if WindowBlinds themes work with this... i should test it sometime..
