Reply to I don't want WB moving my skins!!! in WB 6.0 Beta WinCustomize Forums

I really do not like it when programs puts its files in My Documents. They way I see it it's meant to be, for just that; documents. I don't want a bunch of application settings and other stuff there. Unfortunately many applications do this, so I'm forced to use a completely separate folder to store my documents so I can organize the folder to my liking. I wholeheartedly (is that even a word?) agree with that. I can't find my docume

Reply to Vista-compatible Functions in Object Desktop WinCustomize Forums

I actually would love to see a more detailed list, as which ones work on Vista32 and which ones on Vista64-bit. It is sometimes hard to decide whether it is worth while to install an application or not. SoundPackager for example is one of the new Vista application that we still don't know whether its Vista64bit compatible or not, even though this question has been asked in the Release-Thread several times. I am not about to throw a tantrum if someone should say that its not yet

2. Explorer currently crashes after more than 16'000 files have been transfered. That's particularly funny, when I try to move my WindowBlinds folder. I've not experienced that happening....rearranging drives and folders recently and was able to copy/paste many more files than that without issue. This has been identified as a problem with the Vista Kernel, which seems to mainly express when also running Kaspersky Antivirus. Lucky

1. A better save and open-Dialog. I never get used to that narrow complicated thingie, which makes me feel that I have to resize it everytime I want to open a file. 2. Better copy and paste abilities. Explorer currently crashes after more than 16'000 files have been transfered. That's particularly funny, when I try to move my WindowBlinds folder. 3. A two panel Explorer with tree-view for each side!! 4. General performance tweaks.

Reply to Xions I have seen.... in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

Never really understood this argument relative to a media player skin... It's really just a matter of personal taste. If a player has a good design, I want to see it, even if I don't happen to change the playlist. I mean, who will sit in front of their computer, stare at the player and not do anything else while listening to the music? If it's too big, it will go behind all the open windows very quickly. What a waste not to see a well designed s

Reply to DeskScapes 1.02 Released in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

ddraney: I believe the version through SDC is for ObjectDesktop subscribers only and the free version is available through the link in the description above. In the past, the extra dreams like 'Dynamic Earth' were only for OD-Subscribers too. That's probably why we see an expanding tree in SDC and you not. The description above is not clear whether the copper-dream is for OD-subscribers only or not, so I am really not sure whether you should see it or not. JRSCCivic98

I download the skin, and if it turns out to be huge but well done, I'll admire it for about 5 Minutes, before I switch back to smaller one. Thanks IR for the tip with resizing the psd-file. There are some really great skins out there, which are just a bit too large to stay on my desktop. Now I can use them anyway.... <img src="http://images.stardock.com/wc/smiles/Smile.gif" border=0 align="absmiddle

2 Years and 9 months since the first warning............ .... and still no "save"-button Since then I have become so used to automatically backing up 'desktopmenu.obbar' and 'RightClick.ini' that I probably still would do it, even if we would have that long- and desperately awaited button. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/wc/smiles/Smile.gif" borde

For those missing the copper-dream: I think you need to install the Dreams separately. In SDC, click on the + next to "DeskScapes" to see the full tree and then download/install the "Dreams"-folder. and it deleted my dynamic earth Yes, I can confirm this. Luckily I had a backup of it as well! Backup your DynamicEarth-Dream before upgrading!

Reply to Right-Click for Vista x64? in RightClick WinCustomize Forums

I initially had the exact same problems like you in Vista64 Ultimate, Right-Click just wouldn't show up even though it was running. I un-installed it, but when I re-installed it again a couple of months later, Right-Click would suddenly show, even though I wasn't able to customize it at that stage (Note; Right-Click hadn't been upgraded yet). My guess was that it was changes in Vista and/or with my graphics-drivers that have caused Right-Click to show up. So my suggestions

Reply to Right Click Update in SDC in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

Only happens when choosing transparency. Setting Opaque 100 % solves the problem for me. Yes, I can confirm this bug and the (short-term) solution for it. I tried various levels of opacity, but only setting it to 100% would make the sub-menus showing up again.

Thanks a trillion times for putting up the updated version of RightClick. I am so happy. For me personally, this was much more important than any "elite" or "ultimate"-label. I now can say that it was worth while to renew my subscription for another year. As long as the proggies are updated and new programs are

Reply to Latest Stardock Newsletter about Magic Suite/OD Elite Users in Object Desktop WinCustomize Forums

RightClick was updated for Vista (to support gadgets/widgets under Vista wasn't easy). Did I miss something? SDC shows the last update for RightClick was on the 8th of June 2006 . The History-file shows that this was the "skintool.exe" update for NET 2.0. It sure is not working on Vista 64bit (crashes during customization, whenever I click a tiny bit too fast on the "ok"-button) <img src="http://images.stardock.com/wc/smiles/Hmm.gif" bord

Reply to WC Poll: Favorite Skinning Application in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

RightClick is my "Cant live without" program, but the skinning aspect is not critical I second that, but I still went with RightClick, as it hasn't received any attention by the developers for ages(last update June 06).

I am not sure which one of these updates was the culprit, but Vista64 BSOD'd twice on me since then. And that was the first and only two times it ever did that to me. I will most likely have to uninstall one or both of them...

Reply to PC's: Do You Buy or Build? in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

I built my last two machines myself, but my current one is a custom built machine that I bought. I found that it is actually cheaper to buy custom built than building it myself. If anyone can give me a hint as to why custom built machines are cheaper (at least here in Switzerland they seem to be) than the sum of their parts (without OS or crapware pre-installed), please feel free to do so. <img src="h

I made more or less the same experience with Vista64; Most non-Stardock programs run fine, although finding a Firewall for Vista64 was a bit hard (there are still only a few out there). As for the Stardock products: ObjectDock: runs fine (didn't use the systray though) Windowblinds 5.51.025: runs without a hitch Deskscapes: no problem LogonVista: no problem TweakVista: I'm not sure about that, but I suspect that not al
