Link to Component Zapper anyone?.... in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Does anyone have the link to the "Component Zapper". I upgraded my video driver last night and though I unloaded all programs, I did not deselect the "run at start-up" option in my 3 widgets. The result when I rebooted was that the resolution went from 1280x1024 to 800x600 and one of my widgets (a weather widget) was apparently pushed off screen. Everything I tried, and believe me I did all but edit the registry, I could not

Theme Manager can do it if CursorXP is installed on the computer, and will automatically do it if any suite you select includes a CursorXP pack. Please note: Theme Manager is just that, it is a coordinator for customizing components, and can apply many of the skins found here at WC - but, and this is important; you need to have the individual software program

Reply to Jpeg or Bitmap in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

In some windows based network environments, .bmp images will be displayed whether the computer is locked or not. If you use a .jpeg for your wall in these environments, the .jpg will display while you are using the computer, but when locked; the background color will be displayed. I have seen this in both Windows 2000, and Windows XP networks with a lot of user profiles set-up. I am not sure why, other than .bmp being native

Reply to ObjectDock Won't Remember Icons in ObjectDock WinCustomize Forums

Baby Moo Mo, Do you have the icons you are using for your dock in the "Stardock\ObjectDock" folder? I believe you have to have them located in that folder. You can either place them in the "Images" folder included with the software, or create your own folder just like the "Images" folder and name it whatever you want. Do not place a folder inside the "Images" folder, because I don't think that ObjectDock "drills down" more th

No, ObjectDock is not part of the Object Desktop suite. ObjectDock is a free download, which can be found at download.com, and ObjectDock Plus is a stand alone program which can be purchased by going to stardock.com. Object Desktop owners get a $5 discount on ObjectDock Plus.

"My own personal view on ratings, long known here, is that ratings should be attached to comments. You can then see who rated, and read why they think the rating should be so." If a change is made, this seems very fair to me. I would love to receive feedback that will help me improve my skills (which can always use improvement as far as I am concerned).<BR

Reply to Levit Icons in Beginners WinCustomize Forums

quinnby222, You need to use a program like "IconDeveloper" (part of the ObjectDesktop Suite), or "IconWorkshop" by Axialis software to open a Icon Library (.icl file). There are other programs, these are just the ones I use. There may even be some free ones for you to try which would allow you to create your PNG files from an icon package for dock icons. You might give download.com a try. If the .icl file type is alr

Reply to DesktopX 2.4x bug reports in Bug Reports WinCustomize Forums

One bug I have seen twice now: The system tray icons for the "Core Weather V1.01k" and "GT3 digital clock" just appeared unrequested for some reason (in the sys-tray). The settings in properties for widgets are all default (normal z-order, accessibility = none, no shadow, no hue shift adjustment through slider - I do use the author's "click to change color" option). Both instances of this bug seem to have happened shortly (no

ddrjm, What type of file did you end up with after downloading? If you are running Wndows XP, you may need to tell the OS to display the file extensions. You can do this by opening any windows explorer window and going to "Tools>Folder Options>View tab" and deselecting the "Hide extensions for known file types", then click "Apply". You should now see the file extension after the "dot" in file name. If you see a ".zip
