Thanks Basj - I got it from your link & it works on my Win 7 - appreciate it.

Reply to RightClick won't activate using OD serial number in Accounts and Activation Help Stardock Forums

Thanks for the reply. I'm running Win 7 Home Premium. On My Downloads Right Click is listed under individual downloads in Object Desktop Manager - that's where I got the download link. I know it is old but I used to run it on XP - if it's no longer supported well that's too bad i really liked it. Thanks.

Hi I downloaded RightClick & when asked for serial number I used the OD number but it was deemed invalid. Can you help me get the serial number for RightClick?

Me again - I know some time ago we lost the Night Train (Craig Oman?) for reasons I don't know nor do I need to. But I loved his blinds & was just wondering if there is any site anywhere I can download/pay for them. Thanks

Reply to Missing Essorant skins in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

Hi Chasbo, I have several of his Master skins as well as his 2 skin packs. I'm more interested in earlier ones like Ferro, Seer, Grift, Pixel8, Ketix, Carillon, Retro - so many brilliant skins I can't remember most of them.

Missing Essorant skins in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

Hi, a while back I found an old drive which had a hidden goldmine - just about every one of Essorant's old, beautiful skins which I'd saved & forgotten about over the years. Alas, shortly after that my MB fried & took those skins with it. I know they are no longer available on Wincustomize, but is there any way someone can convince Tim to release his old beauties again - happy to pay, they were just great.

Reply to How are you finding Windows 10? in Windows Discussion WinCustomize Forums

I'm finding it pretty good so far. The upgrade went smoothly, without losing anything. Best part for me is faster movement of files between drives. I also like the flat, minimalistic look. Auto colour change on the taskbar is also a plus. I've had no real hassles yet, except some old games won't play. A question on this - I can't seem to find the 'how to get older programs to work on this OS' in settings, which was easily found & useful on Win 7. Any advice would b

[quote who="beachbummer" reply="25" id="3580078"] Well, for my 2 bobs worth - I upgraded a couple of days ago from 7. It went like clockwork. I didn't lose any files, I like the flat, minimalist look & on restart there's an option to boot into previous OS mode. This is good because some of my older (win 95 - don't laugh) games aren't compatible. File transfers are faster, regularly getting 100mbs & above. No real issues yet, so overall I'm quite happy. [/

Dock changes colour in Docks WinCustomize Forums

Hi. Hope I'm in the right spot here. At work I just upgraded my Mac machine to Yosemite - and really like the way the flat dock changes colour according to the wallpaper used. Can this be done on Windows OD docks?

[quote who="ALMonty" reply="4" id="3506355"] In my account the Gloss themes still shows as a MyColors_setup.exe download. Actually all 18 that I purchased show this. [/quote] Sorry, Al, forgot the quotes (then the net dropped off - again). Anyway, that's the same here. My download links only contain the MC.exe file. Where are the theme files?

Same here Al - where are the theme files? I'm lost.

Reply to Confused & frustrated over skins in MyColors in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

Thanks for the reply Gasper, but everywhere I've looked MyColors is required to be installed & I'm not going down that track again.

Confused & frustrated over skins in MyColors in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

Hi I know this subject has been covered but it is just too darn confusing for me. So, I'll just ask outright. I purchased several MyColors themes mainly for the blinds & icon packages. I cannot access them anymore. WebGizmo's recent Winstep theme Gloss Mint reminded me just how good they were. They are in my Stardock account but the download link is only for the now defunct MyColors install exe. Can anyone please put those blinds & icon packages as separate items in wi

Reply to So What's Your Fav TV Show and Why? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Hi starkers. Being a baby boomer, most of my favourites are from another era. Today, here in Oz at least, I find TV a waste of space. Lots of celebrity & reality (contrived) shown between an over-abundance of ads & promos. Morning shows tend towards nepotism, with half the show taken up with banter about other programs appearing on that particular channel. They specialise in panels of 30-somethings who seem to know everything about anything & generally all agree with each other. N

Reply to Time to quit... in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I've been off 'em for nearly 20 years. On my third try (all cold turkey) I quit drinking as well, as one fed the other. Bit wobbly at first but after a few months it was done. The smell of a durry is enough to make me sick these days so I'm cured. Better still, I can again have a beer or wine (or 3) without the urge to light up.

Hi. For the record, I found the answer finally. For those with a similar problem go to explorer backgrounds in Windowblinds config & click "Reset Opacity Levels". Worked for me.

Morning all This may have been covered but I couldn't find it. I've just upgraded to Windowblinds 8. The program installed OK but when I open explorer the background is all black. icons are visible otherwise it's a blackout. Any suggestions please. I'm on Win 7 Home premium service pack 1.

"Po, I thought I recall you did some window blinds but couldn't see any on your page." My apologies, Po, was confusing you with Snidely Whiplash somehow.

Brilliant skins, neone6, but just a little difficult on my fading eyes unfortunately. Po, I thought I recall you did some window blinds but couldn't see any on your page. Will try IconX though. Thanks for your comments.
