Differences between free/trial Object Desktop, and $50 version?

Certain elements on windows are not skinned in trial version

And it nags you once in awhile.

Anyone know exactly which elements are not skinned? I wrote Stardock support, but no answer yet...

Scrollbars, Exit/Shutdown dialogue, various other which I cannot remember

As always, thanks, Stumpy

errr..... hello....... there is no free trail of ObjectDesktop. Just free trails of the major components of OD. What has been described here is the WindowBlinds shareware. 

Didn't know ODNT was available as a trial...thought only most of the components were available as trial downloads separately. ODNT also will also keep you up to date with the latest version of it's software components thru SDC for a year....yearly renewals are only $35 I believe

I must be getting old keep getting beaten to the punch

hehe.... ...... 

Well, I could essentially download Stardock Central, install it, and then it would grab all the Object Desktop components for me (the trial versions) and then that would basically be like my Object Desktop trial.. no?

I know you can download SDC, but I think when you install it...it will ask for registration details Not sure since I never used any of the trial products

you can download trials with sdc

Some benefits of purchasing Object Desktop:

Theme Manager (Formerly WinStyles): Not available in a demo version, allows you to download, create, edit, and apply suites of skins coordinating most of your Object Desktop component themes at once.

Window Blinds: Enhanced version which costs $19.95 alone (Included In Object Desktop) allows skinning of scroll bars, progress bars, logoff and shutdown dialogues, progress animations, toolbars, and command prompt dialogues. Allows skinning of applications which are not theme-aware. Permits custom color support including hue change, grayscale, gamma correction and color inversion. Adds support for Win98 and WinME.

Icon Packager: Enhanced version which costs $14.95 (Included in Object Desktop) adds shell style integration allowing right click changing of icons on the fly in Explorer and adds increased support for changing icons for executables and file types.

DesktopX: Enhanced version costs $19.95 (Included in Object Desktop) adds security features not available in the demo version, adds enhanced features for IconX, allows the exporting of widgets, and allows you to run premium objects and themes.

Skin Studio: Object Desktop includes the Pro version of Skin Studio (costs $29.95 alone), which adds the use of pre-made GUI Widgets, allows the importing of parts from other skins, enables advanced skin coloring features, and allows the creation or editing of Media Player and other freeform skins.

Icon Developer: The enhanced version costs $19.95 (Included in Object Desktop) allows icon colorizing, batch processing, and large icon support.

Object Bar: The enhanced version which costs $19.95, is included free in Object Desktop.

WindowFX: The stand alone version costs $19.95 is included free in Object Desktop.

Keyboard Launchpad: The stand alone version costs $9.95 and is included free with Object Desktop.

Object Desktop also includes Control Center, BandVWM, Object Media, Tree View, Object Edit, Object Zip, Tab Launchpad, Spring Folders, ObjectSweeper, Drive Scan and Component Tray. These programs are not available in a demo version and offer additional features and ways to customize and manage your Windows environment.

In addition, purchasing any Stardock product will give you access to unlimited downloads here at WC. All in all, I'd say it's a great value when you consider all the advantages.

By the way, I do not work for Stardock, and my only association with them is as a very satisfied customer.

hehe that was a good pitch regardless, Sd

Just the facts, DC...

I downloaded the trial version of

1) Windows Blinds
2) Object Bar
3) Object Desktop

are these trial versions thirty day trials or lifetime trials?

Lifetime trials! ... Well not at first but after you see what the progs can do you will have to buy it!
Then you are set for a lifetime.
