ya know, I've defended you and pixtudio countless times on the neowin wb boards because I had respect for you. I think my biggest dissapointment has been your attitude, its void of care and seems to express only greed. While I would assume this is from from true, as youve givin so much to the community, thats whats been expressed here.

you could at least inform stardock, you were the author. You've come off as callous and uncaring about the situation, not even willing to extend a little help to those who need it by sending a simple email. Its just a nice thing to do.
im glad something will be done. I've heard peeps complaining about problems and theyve gone un-noticed and obviously some just didnt care. Frogboy, this is what took me back, and why I got involved despite not having the skin. It has nothing to do with additions or the likes. "ToonXP wblinds skin was built at first version of Wblinds supporting ShellStyles, so Alpha version, it's normal there is tons of bugs now." Alexandrie new their were bugs, or at least a good cha
as i mentioned mormegil, it doesnt matter who pays for it, so long as its done. I would assume stardock would pay pixtudio to fix the problem, but then thats between them to figure out.
alexandrie if a business advertises a product with features, and those features to not work or not included, thats called false and/or misleading advertising (intentional or not). I dont know if Stardock paid you, or if stardock provided an outlet to help with sales, and to the customer it doesnt really matter, because someone has to fix it, and to the customer it doesnt matter which side pays for it. If this is how you do your business, then I just wont support you anymore (ive bou
yes Jafo, Im fully aware of this, hence the word fix 7 words into my paragraph
so its really that hard to fix? I didnt buy it, so it doesnt affect me, just seems to me that some individuals may have bought the skin because it was advertised as working with wb4 features, and here we have wb4 and it doesnt work properly. Dissapointing, I'll definitly keep this in mind on future suite releases.
I'll 2nd the Amen
i dont understand Brent, who cares if it makes a folder in the wb directory. Its faster this way and even sets up the folders for you
using both here as well with no problems.
"ToonXP wblinds skin was built at first version of Wblinds supporting ShellStyles, so Alpha version, it's normal there is tons of bugs now. " being a skin with a price tag, I imagine peeps who purchased the skin deserve an update to at least fix those bugs, it was afterall advertised as supporting those wb4 features.
to clarify that, I deleted the *.cat files in the main wb install folder. Upon opening up the display prop window my skins were once again properly showing.
theyre prob still there, check your install folder. Some of mine didnt show either. i deleted the *.cat files and it worked out alright. thanks to werewold on the wb newsgroup for discovering that one
thanks for investing in more bandwidth brad
"The various AI players will then fight amongst each other, often with massive economic losses (see point #2), enabling the defensive player to get a culture or tech victory with minimal difficulty." I think thats how I've won every game. I maitain a military strong enough to act as a deterent, and then just sit it out building culture and maintaining trade.
TheGuess, your not running a subscription service, you bought A piece of software. If you bought a copy of Photoshop does that guarantee you into the next versions beta? I think not. It's the same here. Be happy with what you have or sign up for the subsription. It's an OD subsciber perk and I hope it stays that way.
MogWaEE, I believe thats the next wincustomize subscriber skin, still unreleased. Modan, your so right, everyone else does set and make 'realistic' release dates ::cough::
i usually do great (well, a few hundred sometimes) until a large war breaks out, even when im not involved. The trade lines go and i start taking hits in the hundreds. Any tips for increasing a planets revenue without some of the economy upgrades? I usually have all of those and it doesnt help. Seems impossible to have any sort of economy without trade.
thanks Hotsauce. I cant find my ghost CD though, and I just got all my stuff installed again. Im going to hold off until a stardock rep responds to one of the comments on the newsgroups. Is there anything mentioned in the readme about the fix?
the other guy who was having the problem on sdcentral newsgroups said .98b or whatever worked fine. I cant find the file now though ::Cry:: I think I deleted it off my other drive after downloading .99 Im ODless until they release a fixed version, Im not going to bother installing CM since its going to force me to install SDC anyways. :crosses fingers: heres hoping for a new version soon
Hotsauce, its not windowblinds or skinstudio, its the newest version of Stardock Central. It hosed my system twice, and 4 times to another guy on the sdcentral newsgroup.
lil warning about sdc .99, its hosed my system 2 times now with ntldr errors on bootup, and Im apparently not the only person having this issue. Another individual on the sdcentral newsgroup is having the same problem and hes had this happen 4 times. Cant be 100% sure of course, but I thought id warn others
"but I guess its better to make sure the bugs are ironed out " i actually havent encountered any in the last few beta builds, been very smooth. Glad theyre giving it the time it needs though
welp, looks like Im buying another pix suite
its a beauty are those icons noia natural? Werent they pulled from the site? Glad I still have em, they look good with the wb skin.
