Reply to Blank Program Running on ObjectDock Plus 2.2 - Upgraded to Windows 10 in ObjectDock WinCustomize Forums

What's worked for me is going into dock contents, reset it from showing running programs to not running minimized programs....then resetting it to running all. When you click on one of the Win10 system "features" (like action center) that icon likes to stay on the dock. by going back into dock settings and repeating above, it can be removed again. I know a fix to remove this issue would be nice, but that's how I'm managing it for now.

Most of my Document backups were of my personal folder, not the All Users folder. I did find one though. I couldn't find any with any archives though.

Recover OD? in Object Desktop blogs WinCustomize Forums

I have purchased and renewed OD for several years now. This year, I decided NOT to renew. I figured I'd wait to renew (or repurchase) when I was able to upgrade my OS. Also, I haven't changed my theme, or Icon Package for roughly 5 years. So, to me, it just made sense to hold off. Today I was forced to reinstall Windows. When I went to reinstall OD from archives, there was nothing there. So...I don't know if I misunderstood, but I was under the impression that I owned OD a

Titlebar Buttons in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

Is there any way in SkinStudio to move the titlebar minimize/close buttons from the left to right side in a pre-existing skin? As you may be able to tell by my question, I am not well versed in SkinStudio, but I'd love to try to use for once.

Reply to What Price Point Should Microsoft Set for Windows 7? in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

I think they'd do well at around $200. I do like the multi pc discount concept. I just hope that they do away with the different levels of the OS. Ultimate should be the Only...with possible exception to Home vs. Business. I'll keep my XP machine for as long as parts are available. Just like I did for 95.

Reply to How OLD is your system/install? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I have xp (pre service packs, though it's been updated) installed on a system I built in 2000. It boasts [e digicons]:rolleyes:[/e] a PIII and 512Mb's of ram and 12 GB HD. Though I admit it's not my main rig. I use it daily when the Mrs. kicks me off mine to play her games. I'll keep it as long as it it'll last. When 7 is released, I'll go all out and build the best rig I can.

Aha! Thank you Nimbin ! That is what happened. There was nothing there. That had never happened to me before. (In how many years?) Now to see if I can remember what I had and how to do it. I'll have to try the screen res thing next time it happens. Thanks alot.

Reply to RC graphical(?) issue in RightClick WinCustomize Forums

There was a Windows update the night before. ..and my wife was playing a game that day. I normally have to restart the computer afterward or my cursor disappears behind my window blind (making it difficult to "X" out of a progaram) and OD. Those are the 2 that come to mind. (Probably because SHE was on my pc again.)

Recently, RC stopped working correctly. I've tried all I know to do (nothing [e digicons];P[/e] ) and haven't figured it out. When I rightclick on the desktop, I get a tiny fragment of the RC skin corner and that's it. I've uninstalled/re-installed, changed skins and...that's about it. Any ideas?

That would be great! No. No colors at all. If you go a few tones/shades lighter on mouse over, that would work. Sorry if I'm being too picky. I'm just really partial to dark and nuetral themes.

I've seen a lot of rigs using two cards in tandem. (linked together) Is this something to consider? What's the benefit? *Not to hijack the thread...just thought it may help.*

Reply to Anyone want a Winamp Classic skin done? in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

Yes, Black (or dark charcoal) and White (or light gray). I don't care for color. I always remove color when possible. It may sound odd, but white hurts my eyes. The Boxxi one had too much (for me). I think it was the trim and scrollbar mainly. Not so much the font. Thank you for the consideration.

Reply to Anyone want a Winamp Classic skin done? in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

I'd love to have a darker version of th Boxxi Tribute. I tried to use it but the white and blue threw off my scheme. I don't know if there's a term coined for it so I'll just tell you what random themes inspire my scheme. Cold for Maxthon (which I'd LOVE to have for firefox) Ecliz Deluxe WB RPG 2 Zoom in OD So, not really porting, just my "color" coordination. Need others? I'd gladly give them to you.

Reply to We've been had again! in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Everything I've read in the news pertaining to the "bailout" has screamed "SCAM!". When National City Bank was denied bailout funds but PNC was awarded funds for the purpose of buying National City, it didn't take much research to find that one of PNC's former committee was in charge of doling out the funds. Though he's adamantly denied it, it appears to be another case of business leaders in politics awarding their friends. (read Cheney/Halliburtin, Palin/TransCanada, etc.) *just

I couldn't find it in my Programs folder. I may have missed it. I don't like anything being sneaky or incognito on my pc. It failed to retrieve my FF bookmarks. I had no idea how much I relied on my FF add ons or my Roboform toolbar. Not to mention I'm so sick of the color blue on my screen. I seldomly use any of the "web based apps" this was built for. I'll keep an eye on the advancements but for now , it'll remain uninstalled.

Reply to Why Do Some People Balk at Paying for Software? in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

Confessions of a freeware junkie. ;p While most people were using Windows 98 and ME, I was still using 95. I had spent a small fortune on any kind of program or game that caught my attention. When XP came out, and we finally got the internet in our area, I made the jump. Imagine my surprise when 99% of my software became obsolete. I started buying more. I was looking around for McAfee's Nuts and Bolts for XP because the one for 95 didn't work. Of course, there isn't one for XP.

Thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately, every time I open the Enhanced File Dialog, OD freezes and I have to "End Process" to get out of it. ..wait... I was able to do it from the tabbed dock, not the zoomer. I don't know what's causing that other dock to lock up.
