Reply to XBox 360 coming Tuesday in Microsoft WinCustomize Forums

I'm going for the Xbox 360 -- most of the information I've heard about the PS3 is that it is better performance-wise, but they are talking about putting so much "extras" into it that, quite frankly, I probably wouldn't use. I'm also a huge Halo fan and I'm definitely excited about the cross-platform Final Fantasy game coming. The higher price tag has also turned me off to the PS3, despite the "better" performance. The inclusion of Xbox Live in

Reply to DesktopX 3.1 Reviewed in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

I use both konfabulator and Desktopx -- mainly the packaged programs that came with konfabulator because I couldn't find a CPU and RAM meter that I really liked with DesktopX, and the weather one as well. Other than that, I find that most of the widgets I see on Konfabulator are RSS feeds I won't use...the widgets are more varied on Desktopx. The article mentioned the need for "mobility" options -- like the options we have to place on object on

Luis, I had the same problem: can you try to uninstall the 4.90g versions and make an install from SD Central? That's exactly what I had to do -- uninstalled from Stardock Central, the reinstalled after rebooting my computer and it worked.

The Aim Viruses in Internet WinCustomize Forums

It has occurred to me recently that a large number of people I know have been struck by the Aim viruses...and yes...that includes myself (even though it's embarrassing to admit). I've noticed, of those who have unknowlingly contracted this technological microbe and have consequently had it sent to me, that it seems to have appeared in one form -- a link that leads to some kind of picture, but the file name does not end in .jpg or .png or any other ima

Skin seemed to load a lot faster -- I did have to uninstall the previous version in order to get the update work, otherwise I got an error telling me the installation failed. I was able to install it though!

Reply to Icon Rejection? in Icons WinCustomize Forums

Thanks:) I have another question -- what constitutes a major update on a skin or icon? On this one I know I chosen for it to be an update because I changed the look and added more colors, but it didn't show up that way.

Icon Rejection? in Icons WinCustomize Forums

I recently uploaded an icon in a zipped file that included both the icon itself in .ico format as well as a png of the icon. I've done this on my three previous uploaded icons with no problem, but this time I got an email saying that png images couldn't be included in the Icons section. I also got a second message saying my icon did not meet guidelines. What I would like to know is why it doesn't meet guidelines -- is it because of the reason in the
