[quote]One question. Does that many object dock singles cause a lot of system lag?[/quote] I concur. I routinely run 5 docks on my system and there's never any lag whatsoever. I do use the "I have plenty of RAM" optimization setting in the ObjectDock preferences, however, so I'm sure that helps. [e digicons]:grin:[/e]

[quote]As a bonus, we have provisional support for Windows 7 in this build, including its wallpapers.[/quote] Excellent! Just three more Stardock applications (namely Windowblinds, IconPackager, and DeskScapes--as Fences, ObjectDock+, Multiplicity, and now LogoStudio seem to work on W7 RC) before I can safely upgrade my Vista 64 machine to Windows 7 64. 8)

[quote]The last BSOD I got was 0x0000007E; before that it was the one that was driver_irql_not_less_or_equal (I don't remember the number code).

As long as both machines are on the same network, you're covered TCP/IP wise. And KVM wise, there is no "switch" aspect. As your mouse cursor moves to the edge of one screen, control is handed over to the next screen. It's as seamless as just sliding the mouse from one monitor to another. The keyboard commands are tied to wherever the mouse is. I swear by Multiplicity Pro. [e digicons]:D[/e]

[quote]Lastly, as if the other stuff wasnt enough the Nav. pane and favs area on left will not support trans. so unless its hidden (and I assume most people dont hide it, I know I dont.) then it throws another wrench in the fully trans. window idea.[/quote] Good points all around.

The following is a post wherein I find a workaround for a "bug" when using taking the Windows Explorer backgrounds slider all the way to the left (turns the background of empty folders to black). I am posting it here because my guess is that it would be a very simple code fix to implement this in the WindowsBlinds settings program so that this manual tweak is never needed again. :) I hope it helps. <div class="Articl

[quote]One question though, will it feature full transparency like this beauty? http://fediafedia.deviantart.com/art/Glass-for-Vista-WB-102838445[/quote] For Vstyler and others, I solved the problem wherein setting the explorer backgrounds to 100% transparent (or 0% solid/opaque if you prefer) causes an empty explorer folder's background to go solid black. Turns out that taking the slider all the way to the left gives WindowBlinds a headache, but all

[quote]Actually the guy killed was identified just because of his profile up there, although they provide many security features such as only your friends can read your messages or see your photos but hackers seem to be smarter than them and alredy there are so many scripts all throughout the internet by which you can read messages or see locked orkut albums of any user.[/quote] Again, so?

[quote]I agree, Excalpius BUT: As you increase exposure, you increase the chance of something bad happening. Whether the good outweighs the bad ... matter of opinion/fear. I like fear.

Over the long term, generation to generation, communication always reduces ignorance, which reduces fear, which reduces hate, which improves the overall human condition.

[quote]His killers allegedly met him through the social networking site Orkut.[/quote] So? Are you going to blame the medium for this, or realize that people meet up all the time, in a thousand different ways, and a few wind up killing and being killed, unfortunately. For anyone to place any blame on a social networking site for either issue (unfortunate victim or psychotic murderer) would be incredibly ignorant, IMHO.

The thread describes any caveats. Apparently, there are one or two firefox addons that can break it. And you have to be using the Firefox 3, 32 bit branch. 3.5 doesn't work yet I don't think, and it doesn't support the 64 bit Firefox. Let me know what you find out as I have never had it not work just right out of the box.

With any of these solutions, if you use FireFox, here is the add-on that turns Firefox to glass. It works with all of these skin solutions. I highly recommend this. :) All Glass Firefox

Hey, Mr. Awesome Skinner Man, I've accomplished something similar using the transparency customizations in WB, but your skin is going to be soooooo much better, I expect. Looking forward to it! Here is my hacked together version, using 007Tinar's INVI skins. I was shooting for Vellum & Glass. [e digicons]:D[/e]

The bigger question is whether anyone is working at Stardock on ObjectDock. There haven't been any new features or functionality for over two years now. Hopefully, whatever the problem you are having is, it'll be a "bug fix".

I'm just guessing out of nowhere here, but UAC changed from On/Off in Vista to Different Levels of On/Off in Windows 7. I wonder if you have to turn UAC all the way off to get this to work? Have you tried that?
