A definition of what a beta is in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

Works for me! It's a good thing that there are so many problems in the beta. More that will be fixed for the stable release. SD has a huge user base. And I think many skinners customize their PCs in other ways. I'm impressed that WB5 works as well as it does. Submit your bugs and help make it better. <a href="../resources

Reply to WB5: How to delete a skin? in Object Desktop WinCustomize Forums

Feature request: Ability to select and delete from the advanced view of skins. This screen does't seem super-duper advanced, just different. The left/right scrolling is also not as intuitive as up/down. Why was this choice made? <img src="http://images.stardock.com/wc/icons/wc.gif" border=0 alt="Posted vi

Troubleshooting in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

I expect that Stardock is too busy fixing problems to be worrying about this, but how much efort are you guys spending parsing through all the troubleshooting reports that are being posted here or emailed to support? I hope you have some magic in the background dumping all this data into a databse of some kind. It would have to be some good mojo because the format of the troubleshooting report is not the easiest to play with. And you never

Reply to WB5: How to delete a skin? in Object Desktop WinCustomize Forums

Interesting approach. Not extraordinarily intuitive though. Same with the hyperlink to WC.com. I even right-clicked on the preview to see if that would bring up a menu. the optins blended in with the "noise" of the skin. Thanks Neil.

It's been less than 3 hours here since it went up. And it's suddenly got a lot more users than in testing. Kris, the build is amazing even with the glitches. I never thought I would see blending and transparency on XP. Stardock rocks. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/wc/smiles/BigSmile.gif" bo

Reply to How did you find out about Object Desktop? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I was an OS/2 user back in '95 or '96. It was an awesome OS but lacked panache. I used the TabLaunchPad, Control Center, and of course, skinning. I switched over to Windows (3.1 and soon after Win95) about that same time because it was obvious that they were going somewhere and OS/2 wasn't. Windowblinds was there with me. I used the shareware version of that for years. Soem builds were slow and buggy but each release was better and it w
