Reply to Help with Combolist Object in Object Desktop WinCustomize Forums

As far as I know, the widget preferences are for an object running as a widget, and show up on the properties dialog. Other Widget methods have the same limitation (like Widget.close, which will do nothing if running as an object with the DesktopX runtime. And for another little gotcha, the DesktopX.HostType property doesn't seem to really work as a way to tell which mode is the environment at the moment - not sure why.) I have not used them much, a

Reply to excluding applications--CorelDraw/PhotoPaint in Object Desktop WinCustomize Forums

I downloaded the trial of 12 and used it a bit, with no problems. I eventually decided the upgrade wasn't really worth it, as there didn't seem to be many improvements. Since then I've read other comments about 12 being buggy. Don't know about 11 though.

Corel 8/9/10 does not like WB at all. Not necessarily true - I've been using Corel Draw and Photo Paint 10 for about a year with WB, and no problems.

Reply to Sidebar in next public Windows Vista build in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

I've been using a sidebar of one sort or another, for years now. Customized Quicklaunch bars, Desktop Sidebar, Objectbar, ObjectDock, and now I've been rolling my own with DesktopX. The reason I like them is that they give easy quick access to the stuff I use most often. Essential to this for me is the option of auto-hiding the bar and having it always on top in the Z order. I don't even like the standard Windows taskbar unless it's set for auto-hi

I have this problem on one machine (with an older video card) but not on the other. I have had a response from Stardock tech support that they are working on it. It seems to only happen for me (on the older video) with skins that use per pixel alpha.

The fact that the one blind you get transparency with is the only one that doesn't use per-pixel alpha to achieve it should be a clue as to the problem. If you check the System Information in Window Blinds Configuration you will most likely find that your system does not support per-pixel.

Not sure exactly what you need, but for remote access I've been using LogMeIn, which has worked very well, easy setup and access from anywhere with a browser. Link I tried this after looking into alternatives, including RDC. The free version of LogMeIn may do what you need, or if not, the price is pretty reasonble. It saved my butt on a trip during the holidays when I

That happened to me with the Nebula theme, but then I switched back to another and the problem stopped. I figured it was a skin thing, not a WB issue, but I don't know... It appears to be related to per pixel alpha support, as it doesn't happen in skins that don't have it. Neil??

Reply to WB5 Problem with Firefox in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

Update: I have restored to my last WB version (5.00[b].006). Stardock Central still reports my WB installation as being 5.00[b].009, although the system info reports different file dates. The problem is still occurring in Firefox, with one correction to my original report: After restoring, the program title bar is gone. I have tried resetting Firefox to use the default theme, with no difference. My current WB info: WindowBlinds

Using the latest beta build of WB5, I have a problem with Firefox version 1.5. Upon loading, the Firefox main window uses what appears to be the classic Windows theme.
