[quote]I really don't want to keep buying software over and over when a new OS comes out.[/quote] You don't have to. There are lots of people still running Windows 95, 98, ME and 2000. It's like keeping your old car. Some people like to drive them until it dies. Some people want to try a new car every few years.

Reply to Anyway to download? in ObjectDock WinCustomize Forums

Download is the preferred way I think. I am not sure if you are referring to Object Desktop, WindowBlinds etc or about skins. If you are referring to StarDock products, you get a link to StarDock Central, you download and install it. Then Star Dock Central will download the individual applications. You just enter your key code you received in the same email in to star dock central when you first run the application.

WB 6 on Vista x64 and Vertical Task Bar in Object Desktop WinCustomize Forums

1. I was testing SkinStudio 6 on Vista x64 with WB6. I created a verical image for the vertical task bar with a simple gradient from top to bottom. I wanted to stretch this image for the task bar. I could not get this working in SkinStudio 6. Not sure if this is a SkinStudio6 problem or WB6 problem. 2. For the vertical task bar, edit the task bar background image and just fill it completely with one color. Edit the start button and fill it with another color. Make sure you have colors t

On my computer, Vista boots and runs faster, at least that is how I feel. I haven't made any real benchmarking on my computer. My PC: ASUS P5B-E with Core 2 Duo E6700 3GB DDR2 800 in dual channel mode 2 SATA II 250 GB in RAID 0 for the boot drive ATI X850 PRO 256 MB graphics card The graphics card gave a 4.9 for 3D graphics but the rest of the system is 5.5-5.9 My theory is that when your computer is more powerful, Vista does better than XP. <br/

I had a dedicated PC that I used for beta testing Vista, There were many many issues. Application compatibility for one was the worst. The number one reason why I am not on Vista full time is the application compatibility issues. That is not entirely MS fault. They kept changing stuff in the OS that might have put off application developers. Another reason may be Vista's pre release reputation of something that may never get released. Wht is the point of getting my apps ready for an OS that is i

How do I set desktop background? Apply button always resets my desktop background to some kind of blue color. I have no wall papaer set, just a black background screen to test out my changes. I tried changing the setting in WB6 not to spply the skin wallpaper, still when I click apply button in SkinStudio 6, it sets the back ground color to blue.
