Oil: What is your occupation?

You're refusing to pay $20 to register software that you like well enough to use beyond the trial period, and then complaining that the nag screen is costing you customers? It's a two way street, bub. The kind folks at Stardock have to eat too. This is the most rediculous argument I've heard in a long time, and as a moderator here, I've heard them all.

Let me guess, you have to install Windows XP once a month because of the annoying activation bug which keeps popping up...

Is it that much trouble to click the mouse button 1 time and never have to worry about the message showing up again until you restart your computer? How many times do you shutdown/restart where a single click of a mouse button becomes troublesome?

Cavanaugh : I have 2 firewalls. The first one is the one built into WindowsXP  which is directly part of my internet connection. The second is Norton Personal Firewall 2003.

The best description I've ever read of the built-in firewall in XP was "about as useful as a chocolate teapot"

Oil : Every time I notice Your posts You are extremely annoying. And this post again proofs that. Did You ever care what shareware is ? It is not the same as freeware to give You a point... If I was Your client and noticed You didn't know such existential things about software I would run away as far as I could.

I'd be willing to bet you expect to get paid for your work?

Curious...How does a registration nag screen "destroy" your computer?

By getting so angry at the audacity of a software company for reminding them they havnt registered the software that they smack their PC.

Praying to Jesus might work,praying to Frogboy might work better.

Lord Jesus can't help, only Andrew Jackson.

Praying to Jesus might work,praying to Frogboy might work better

paying to Frogboy might help even more

@ snowman

Now I lay me down to sleep,I pray to Frogboy my ...nah...not the same.

Now I open up my screen
handsome taskbar gold and green
I paid frogboy
for my toy
and now I am the window queen

I calculate the odds of eventual purchase at precisely a gazillion to one captain.

The DJ the skin is called PixOS, it's one of our exclusive suites

It (PixOS) is really nice looking too

I'm registered!!

I would like to first apologize to all you kind people on here. I was doing research on that Style XP and you guys were right. It was a "trial version" I was using and I uninstalled it from my PC and registered WB4. There are a couple skins that I enjoy using on here, but Style XP had something similar, I thought was free and being cheap, I went that route. That was a mistake so I decided to register WindowBlinds and now I am happy. But I am sorry for making myself look like an idiot before. I started this thread as kind of a joke - I am deeply embarrased. I hope I didn't make too many ememies on here.

No worries, Oil2003, most people won't even remember this thread in about 5 minutes from now

Glad to hear that you registered.  I'm sure Windows looks a lot better with all its parts skinned (shareware of WB doesn't have full features).

 

It's all good, Oil2003. Welcome to the club.
