Reply to Utilities Updated for Object Desktop 2007 in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Interesting news. However, it seems that while Stardock virtual desktops got its version number bumped for OD 2007, there are still some outstanding issues with the program. For one, it still doesn't play well with DX or IconX (when either is running, SVD won't properly switch wallpapers). That's pretty sad, and there's no good reason for this behaviour. Additionally, for dual monitors, the tile wallpaper method doesn't work correctly. Instead of prope

Reply to Virtual Desktops + Desktop Icons in Object Desktop WinCustomize Forums

Zubaz, I had the same error installing on my laptop, I found that if you put your email address and OD serial into the activation dialog that shows up, it'll activate correctly. Looks like there might still be a bug or two in the program.

Reply to WB5 and Office 2007 Beta 2 in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

I've actually added a suggestion to the Office suggestion board to at least provide an option to revert to normal Windows interface elements for this. While I don't *dislike* the new interface, I don't really like something that doesn't play well with WB. But, then again, the Office group has never fully followed the usual Windows interfaces, there's always something that's different.

Although this is possibly largely unrelated, what is the status of the virtual desktop application? It still needs to support multiple monitors, and it needs to have vm locking and app exclusions working. As far as I'm concerned, Control Center is largely defined by how well the virtual desktops work, and if the VWM isn't working correctly, then CC isn't much use either. I largely like the way Control Center is impleme

Reply to New Object Desktop program coming in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

I don't really care all that much about system sounds (I pretty much always turn them off, as they get annoying after a while). If I can change them easily, and if the sounds aren't too obnoxious, I'd be willing to give it a try, I might actually keep system sounds if they can be done well. But if you want my opinion, I'd really rather see the resources go to updating and / or improving some of the core applications. The virtual desktops app

Reply to WB 5 taskbar transparency in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

This isn't a complaint so much as a heads up, so .... It may refresh on a normal wallpaper change, but when used in conjunction with Stardock Virtual Desktops (and with a different wallpaper on each desktop), the taskbar does not refresh when the vdm is changed or when the wallpaper for a given desktop is changed. I don't know what (if any) signal the SVD program sends when the desktop is changed, but it would be nice if WB caught it and ref

Reply to WindowBlinds 5 Trouble Already =( in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

Found another minor issue. Using the stardock virtual desktops, when I change desktops, the part of the desktop that's visible through the translucent part of the taskbar (Arrow and Aura), 'sticks' on the background image of whatever screen it was on first. If I resize the taskbar, the behind image updates to the current screen, and that one sticks until I tweak the bar again. I've also noticed that when changing an option in WBConfig (but not changing

Reply to WindowBlinds 5 Trouble Already =( in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

Figure I should throw my $0.02 in the pile I did a straight up upgrade (didn't uninstall 4.6) and WB5 works very well on my box. Have a bit of an issue with some oddball black boxes in the WBConfig dialog (I'll lob up a screen if needed, but from what I've read, Neil is already looking at this). Also had a bit of a minor issue switching from Aura to Arro

Reply to IconX 1.1 released in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

I concur with Nick. IconX (and DesktopX) cause BandVWM to not work properly (In addition to overriding the configurable wallpapers in BandVWM, they affect the switching time between VWM's (for me at least)). This leaves me in the position of having to choose to run (or not to run) these other fine stardock applications because they interfere with another app (and, for me, BandVWM is more useful than the others). I like DX and IconX, but I can't use the

Cool stuff! Although you probably don't need any more confirmation, I see the same thing liquidguru does One other thing I've noticed is that when I add a widget, in some cases, it causes the menu to act up. By that I mean that the menu will stretch across the screen, and the widget will be shown on the far right margin of the menu. A good o
