Reply to Style XP picked over Windowblinds in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I have been a MaximumPC subscriber since their first issue. It was "Boot" then. They know about Stardock. They had an article about SkinStudio about a year ago, but it was pretty basic. Seemed like they spent about thirty minutes with it and then wrote the article. Those guys are into wringing every ounce of performance from a PC, not customization. Also, there has been some changeover in their editorial staff recently. Maybe the guys that were familiar with Stardock have

Try deleting everything in the Stardock/Temp/Base directory and see if that fixes it. The current version of SDC is not deleting the temp files after an installation and will mess up future installation attempts.

Reply to i lost my MS system sounds in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Thanks yrag. I have checked #2 & #3 numerous times and I don't think the problem is there. #1 I don't remember if I uninstalled the Dell drivers first, but probably didn't. I will try that when I get the time (it's tax season). It's not a big deal, the sound works perfectly playing music, videos, etc. I just can't get the startup and shutdown sounds. Thanks again, jebland

Reply to i lost my MS system sounds in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I would like to see an answer to the system sound problem. I have a Dell 8300, Xp and an Audigy soundcard and have lost the startup and shutdown sounds. I updated the drivers from Creative's site because I wasn't happy with the sound performance with the Dell drivers and Dell didn't offer an update. I have a hunch that caused the startup/shutdown sound problem, but I'm not sure. If anybody h

In 2001 Koasati made a CursorXP theme called k.01 that matches Zippo very well. I couldn't find it now but if he sees this, maybe he will re-upload it.

I also have the problems resolved with ver 4.20.017 dated 12/09/03. I am on WindowsXP Home, Dell 8300 computer, 3.06 gh processor, hyperthreading enabled, 512mb memory, and ATI Radeon 9800 Pro video card with the latest drivers available from Dell. Thanks, Stardock.

I sent an e-mail to support, so hopefully they will be able to identify the problems and fix them.

Another bug in 4.20 is if you use a skin with a wide left frame, such as Colony or Siderado, the sub menus come up about a 1/2 inch from the main menu panel in explorer. I was updating Siderado with all the latest bits and nearly went crazy trying to find what I had done to mess up the skin. A roll back to 4.19[h] fixed the problem.

Not sure what your issue is, but you could try right clicking the start button, choose properties and tick "Start menu" instead of "Classic Start menu" and see if that gives you the look that you want.

Reply to Icon Size on the Right Side of the Start Menu in Stardock Software WinCustomize Forums

I think XP's handling of icon sizes on the Start Menu is dismal. I would be very interested if anyone knows of a way to adjust it. I still use ObjectBar a lot under WinXP to be able to control the display of icons and fonts on the Start Menu.

On the computer that is not showing a shadow, right click My Computer. Choose Properties\Advanced\Visual Effects and tick "Use drop down shadows for icon labels on the desktop" if it is an XP operating system. If it's an older operating system, I don't think it can be fixed.

Open your Objectbar\WindowsXP directory in Explorer. Doubleclick "Use WindowBlinds Skin.obtheme" This will import the skin into ObjectBar.

In order to display the XP type taskbar and start menu on Win2k, you need to use Objectbar.
