Reply to Holy cow! The OD change log! in Docks WinCustomize Forums

What do they mean by reserve the entire edge of the screen I assume that this is for Tabbed docks. In previous versions, if the dock was hiding somewhere, you had to move your mouse over the actual tabs to get it to reappear. I hope this means that you can move the mouse to anywhere on the screen

Reply to MySpace is a disease in Internet WinCustomize Forums

Thank you for your opinion. But you do realize that you sound like your parents did about "that godawful music", right? In terms of CONSTRUCTIVE discussion, I wish the myspace site had some good templates/design guides for people. Cutting and pasting CSS (which is one step up from html/command line coding) is just so 1970's. That is the main reason the

Reply to Errors From Nowhere? can you figure it out? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

What ASUS Mobo? The error you are getting is hardware related and can probably be addressed with the proper chipset drivers. Since your machine is crashing when you are not using it, the error is unlikely to be related to software like Windowblinds that is doing nothing while you aren't using it. RAM is a very likely candidate here for random, seemingly unrelated errors. If you can provide more info, people can provide more help.

Reply to Has the RIAA gone insane? in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

The RIAA is getting desperate. They are losing on every front...and everyone knows it. Remember that, as a company, the RIAA gets its funding from the major studios. If they don't show "results", they lose their funding, and they get closed down. So, they'll do ANYTHING to keep their jobs, of course. They really don't care about the studios that fund them, or the recording artists they are supposed to be protecting, etc. This will get

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

the ability to offset (via a slider) the position/center of any Object Dock dock would be nice, so that they can be used on spanned multiple monitors, for example. I am stuck using DualView monitors just because I have so many docks and want them to work differently on different monitors. An offset slider would end this workaround for me. Rocket Dock has this seemingly very simple to implement feature.

Reply to Microsoft: Aero Glass to be final UI in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Agreed. You could add, that MS being a multi-billion dollar company, and this is the best their designers could come up with in regards to a UI. It just doesn't seem to be a priority for them at this point, and I assume they prefer not to rock the boat too far with regards to the billions of windows

Reply to January Desktop Screenshots in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Can you have too much glass? Hey Reppiks, that's along the direction of my desktops, nice! Is that a Windowblinds Skin (and if so, which one) or are you running that actually on a Vista Beta? I ask because I love the glass start menu and what to duplicate that on my own desktops. Thanks! <br/

Reply to Microsoft: Aero Glass to be final UI in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

yes, you'll be able to change colors etc, but I expect Stardock will give you more control of it, etc. I have to say that that screenshot doesn't do a good job of showing off the interface, since the colors are balanced with the background, each other, etc.

Reply to bug report: WB5 [DOES NOT] kill some third party services [updated] in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

I had tested the synergy issue throughout the early WB5 betas, but you are correct, it does not appear to work fine with the latest updates. Thank you. And because this was a problem, I assumed that the Spider service was related (it may still be), but now I will try reinstalling Spider to see if that helps in any way. Note that I had mentioned in my post

bug report: WB5 [DOES NOT] kill some third party services [updated] in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

[update] The bug listed below no longer seems to be a problem with Synergy and the Spider issue turned out to be unrelated (or is no longer an issue with the latest WB5 release). I leave the posts below up as is in order to document my stupidity for all posterity. :) WB5 is causing a very odd phenomenon with both third party services programs I have tested. I first noticed this with the Station X Studios Spider render control software. It runs a

Reply to Windows Vista tool targeted by virus writers in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

I have already taken responsibility for apparently using the term "troll" too loosely and apparently inaccurately. And my post above apologizes as well for any unintended offense due to that. So I repeat here again (for those who haven't read until the end of any of these, hehe). My bad. Peace. PS And yes, you are 100% correct...I think ZDNet

Reply to Windows Vista tool targeted by virus writers in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

If your point is that I should have said "FUD" instead of "Troll" then that may be valid. But as I see it, anyone who deliberately spreads FUD is probably trolling. That may or may not fit your definition. WE, as the readers of these articles, and the posters of them on sites like this need to take some responsibility for the dissemination of information here. In my opinion, this article was parrotted without critical consideration by the

Your comment, Excalpius, is way off base. Really? How about if this was about ANY operating system and someone released a BETA of an entirely SEPARATE product. Shouldn't the TITLE of the article be about the problem in the PRODUCT, and not about the potential future beta operating system? That is
