Reply to Lack of DX creativity ? in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

With the power of DX is it finally possible to create a NeXT like "dock" that would function more like a cross between the windows start menu and the OSX dock? for example I would like to drag a folder from my start bar to the the dock and have it expand in next style blocks for say the first eight blocks then have a more button that would open a list. Also I would like to have Next style app running indicators for short cuts in the dock. look at the old Next style the

I remeber those days before WB made 1.0. I was virtually unusable on win98. by the time that 1.3 arrived I was running a tech site (OWT). I downloaded WB just to review and it haven't had a computer without it since. I am probably an odd case in the ram department my win98 machine had 256mb and each system since has doubled that amount up to the current sys with about a gig of it. so the only problems I have ever had are the mem leaks in the win 9x series wich was an OS pro

"The problem is that since OO isn't an MSO clone, there is a learning curve...and it's a bit steep." This is the Problem. Think about retraining a workforce of say 1000 people to use OOo. The cost would be tremendous. If MSO can be ran on Linux it will make a transition to the OS easier for a company to do. Random thoughts: If MS has Office vX for Mac OSX how hard would it be to port it to Say KDE or Gnome? In the future there will be MS Office for the 'ni

As long as 9x and 2000 are supported people will not bother to upgrade, even though XP has proven to be be the most signifigant and worth while upgrade since 3.1. The other problem is that many people purchased $300-$500 PC with win 9x and simply can't afford to use the full versions of SD apps or to upgrade their system or OS. I would have no problem with you dropping the 9x Icons though. I use your older FauxS-X Icons on 200 anyhow...

^^^ What Leo said Stardock set the message boards up and we liked and appreciated them. Features were added here and there and we liked then and swear we will eventually get used to them. I remember once when T-man removed the right hand stuff from the page and made the message board text boxes expand to fill the browser. Just that simple change had me mad for weeks!! BTW thanks for putting my right hand stuff back T-Man! <img src="http://images.stardock.co

TasT was actually the first initial of my name, my wifes first initial, my brother's first initail, then the initial of our last name. TasT Systems was the DBA of a business that my brother and I ran untill he had to take a business move to Canada, we then sold the assets of the Business but the Nick has stuck with me since 97. As for the capitolization of the last letter, my brother did that on the first run of Biz cards and it stuck also.

Reply to recent poll in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Nightprowler: I believe that this would be "premium" Skins IE ones made by either stardock or one of the For profit skinning outfits. NOT to download skins from Wincusto. Although if stardock releases 200+ individual pieces I wonder how that would effect the "for free" skinners? Would more of them turn to for profit and contract with stardock? To maintain the community there has to be more free than pay skins. I hate to see the community turn to all for profit.

You my friend have not even began to see stardock support. Once you get your little problem straightened out look through the support news groups @ news.stardock.com These guys will normally bend over backwards and do some contortionists stunts to help a customer who is courteous and goes to the right place to get support.
