Reply to Cursor XP in Stardock Software WinCustomize Forums

[quote]what i liked with having the extra tab in Mouse Properties is being able to see what a cursor looks like before applying to change it[/quote] Isn't there a little round red button with a magnifying glass that just does that? I think it shows as soon as you click on the cursor you want to look at. Or maybe I just understood you wrongly?

Reply to Is skinning a community or a market? in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

The percent of people that are active in the communitiy has decreased with customization going mainstream. There are several reasons for this: - "The mass effect" - we feel less connected if there are a lot more people involved. Everyone of us here uses Microsoft Windows, but we don't feel as a part of a "Microsoft Community". It's the same effect if you work in a small firm versus working for a huge coorporation. Statistics show clearly that working morale decreases with increasing ent

Ahhhh, those XP-times. I remember I usually had XP running under 30 Processes too, but now on Vista I am constantly at between 55 and 60 (unless I loose my beloved SD-products.....). :) Does Black viper have Vista as well? I haven't had a look at that page for ages.

For someone who (according to his profile) hasn't bought anything, you sure seem to be rather impatient. From your screenshot; I concur you are using a standalone-installer(-.exe)? Download StardockCentral here ([link="https://www.stardock.com/products/sdcentral/"]WWW Link[/link]) > install it > enter your IP-serial from the confirmation email you received from Stardock into SDC > download and install the newest version of IconPackager (3.20a.033) through StardockCentral. <

[quote]What exactly have you purchased? Is it Windowblinds, Object Desktop or a WinCustomize subscription?[/quote] Yea, from what you have written in the other thread, and from the fact that you only seem to have the programs that come with a WC-subscription, I get the feeling that's what you purchased. If you have purchased a subscription to Wincustomize instead of WindowBlinds you can contact [email protected]. They are very nice and will most likely swap your subscription f

Reply to CursorFX officially released! in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

I can meanwhile confirm the bug found by mjbisme. When moving more than 200 cursors into the CursorFX-folder, the CursorFX panel becomes unresponsive (I don't have CursorFX crashing on me, but I still can't do anything with it). CursorXP did not have that problem. When opening Task-Manager, the CursorFX panel shows a CPU use of about 53% and the Memory use is not that high either. The rest of the system stays responsive and works normally. This bug was found o

Reply to CursorFX officially released! in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

I took the plunge after Snidely's remark about CursorFX working on Vista64 bit. Everything seems to work fine here, including the old CursorXP-themes. I like the preview option which shows all cursors and animations (I always found it tedious loading each cursor and then testing it on a heap of different windows to see all animations). Well done! :CONGRAT: For those that have problems: I first loaded the default Windows cursor through the Windows panel - then unloaded Cursor

[quote]he is retarded? thats why i just asked that question[/quote] I would suggest not to insult the people who help you. The only thing 'retarded' here is your question about a "free Vista 2.0", as no one was ever talking about a "Vista 2.0". Windows Vista is an OS (Operating System) and is either pre-installed on your computer (instead of WindowsXP) or you have to buy it at your local computer store. There is no such thing as a free Windows Vista, and there is certa

Reply to Hmmm, which Stardock program to use in OS Customization WinCustomize Forums

I am definitively a RC-type. It's just the quickest of the three (my own opinion), and I hardly ever run anything full-screen anyway. It has still some features that are missing ("save"-button)and is in desperate need of some caring love from the developers, but if you want to access your favorite programs as quick as possible, with a program that won't swallow your system-resources (as OD+ can do if you are using a couple of docks at the same time), then RC is the way to go.

Reply to What Would YOU Like to See on the Help Page? in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

1:) I would like to see a clear distinction being made between "Stardock"-support and Peer-support. As it is now, people click on a link that is called 'Stardock support forums', but which is really only an alternative entry to the WC-support forums. This causes some of the support-seeking persons to become frustrated if they do not get the expected help, or if the only answer they get is "you have to contact Stardock-support", as they believe they just did that. I would sugges

Reply to RightClick won't 'Use WindowBlinds Skin' in Stardock Support General WinCustomize Forums

Yes, it has been reported with all possible information along with it. Mike told me that everything had been forwarded to the developer, but I am not sure if Jeff is actually working on it right now. Problem is that it doesn't seem to happen on all computers. For example: my work-laptop, which uses the same version of RightClick doesn't have a problem at all importing WB-skins, while my home system has exactly the same problem as yours. What other SD-programs do you have installed b

Reply to RightClick with WindowBlinds Skins Isn't Accurate in Object Desktop WinCustomize Forums

I have just (un)-successfully restored to the previous version 1.24c, or at least I tried to. At first I tried a direct restore, but that didn't work. Then I tried to uninstall, reboot and restore, but that didn't work either. No matter what I did, that darn version 1.24d just didn't want to go away (or rather kept on coming back). So I got frustrated and kept on uninstalling, restoring, uninstalling, restoring..... until suddenly SDC claimed that it needed to reboot in order
