Hi Eric. I am unsure what the plans are at the moment, but I will forward this to the developers as a feature request. Thanks -Mike [Stardock Support]

What application are you using to customize the clock? As for the start menu, you will want to right click on the taskbar, choose Properties , click the Start Menu tab and then choose the Start Menu option. The Classic Start Menu is unskinnable. As for the weather gadget, I'm not sure how it could have gotten to that position, but if you click on the Arrow there, does that do anything? -Mike [Stardock Support]
You can alternatively create an Object layer of type Text (rather than Image ) and include handling for the Object_OnChar callback method. https://www.stardock.com/products/desktopx/documentation/scripting/object_callbacks.asp Sometimes it may be a waste of time re-creating the wheel, but it can give you more versatility in the end. When you use
Are you saying when you boot your computer (after previously shutting down with the Magic suite applied) the Luna theme is just applied? Could you submit a screenshot of how the weather gadget looks for you? -Mike [Stardock Support]
How specifically are you installing this and which version of WindowBlinds are you attempting to install? -Mike [Stardock Support]
Go to Start->Run (Start Search on Vista) and type regedit and launch the app. Once open, navigate to the following two keys: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Stardock\WindowBlinds\WB5.ini\INSTALLED HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Stardock\WindowBlinds\wb5.ini\Installed The Path value should hold the same value at both of these locations and should be set to something like C:\Users\Public\Documents\Stardock\WindowBlinds If you wanted to store your skins in
Simple: Rename to .zip and voila! Many of the themes here are built using .zip files, but are just renamed to another extension so the apps that use them can tell it's for them. -Mike [Stardock Support]
One other thing to consider-- laptops are generally widescreen these days, I think very few would support 1280x1024 (at least at its native aspect ratio). By including a few additional lines of code, you open up your theme to a new market. Given all the themes that currently exist that do not support an arbitrary resolution, I think it would definitely help make your themes stand out from the crowd. I find it refreshing to find themes where I see the artist has gone the extra mile an
You could also try running this if you still have a problem: http://sd.stardock.com/mike/apps/reinstall_wb_service.bat -Mike [Stardock Support]

According to your personal photo, you look like an old guy to me It appears this award is granted to those who are a Member for at least 3 years . I'll try for the bonus points.... "Everybody Loves Raymond!" (I wasn't sure whether it was open book or not, so I looked it up ) -Mike [Stardock Support]
I'm not sure whether you'd received my email, but I had loaded your configuration file, but was unfortunately not able to reproduce the problem. Try going to File->Export->Export Macros, clicking Select All and then clicking Save File . Hopefully this file will give me something with which I can use to reproduce the issue. Have you had any luck contacting Insight Software Solutions? (Macro Express developers) -Mike [Stardock S
Are you installing through the standalone installer or through Stardock Central ? Are you receiving any error messages of any kind? -Mike [Stardock Support]
Thank you for reporting this. I have reproduced the issue and will bring it to the developers' attention. -Mike [Stardock Support]
Could you please copy the text here from the System Info section located within the WindowBlinds Configuration dialog? Which skin is this that you're currently running and which version of Windows? (knowing whether it's an English as opposed to a Thai version of Windows is helpful too) -Mike [Stardock Support]
iprepair.dll ( iprepair64.dll on x64 XP) interfaces with the system and can sometimes be flagged by antivirus/antispyware/etc applications, thereby causing undesirable effects. Choosing the Tools->Repair Shell Icons-> Do not repair any shell icons on my computer option, or simply renaming the file in question (whether iprepair.dll or iprepair64.dll) should work around the problem. Glad to hear the fix h
I'm not seeing this problem. Which version of ObjectDock are you running? Is there a particular menu item you're interfacing with that's causing this issue? -Mike [Stardock Support]
Which version of Winodws are you running? Do you possibly have a security app (antivirus, antispyware, etc) running that may be blocking scripts? There really isn't any additional functionality in the Pro version (that you wouldn't find in the standard version) that would cause anything to break. The ability to export your widgets as standalone applications (gadgets) is a really cool feature, but this alone wouldn't cause that type of problem. -Mike [Stardock Suppor
Which OS and app version (I assume you're using either Stardock Central or the WinCustomize Browser) are you running? A screenshot would also help illustrate the problem. Could you post that here? -Mike [Stardock Support]
Glad you enjoy it! I will pass on your praise to those that made this suite possible -Mike [Stardock Support]
Unfortunately there is no way to control the delay at which the dock will retract, though you can adjust the delay the activation of the dock rolling out. I will pass this to the developers as a feature request. -Mike [Stardock Support]
You could try doing a Start->Run regsvr32 "c:\program files\stardock\object desktop\windowblinds\wbui.dll" I too still have the Display Properties integration on my XP laptop using Build 36. -Mike [Stardock Support]
[quote]they emailed you a password and email address?[/quote] I assume that's the Stardock.net account. screSOLO: What's the specific error you're receiving? -Mike [Stardock Support]
Thank you for pointing this out. I am letting the developers know about this problem. -Mike [Stardock Support]
[quote]yeah, but I dont know how to write a script =P [/quote] Ever used DOS? Writing Scripts/Batch files are very similar (and sometimes even easier). Just open ObjectEdit (or notepad if you are not fortunate enough to have ObjectEdit ) and put the following three lines in there: @ECHO OFF START "" /B /WAIT "C:\Program Files\Stardock\CursorXP\cursorxp.exe" /unload START "" /B "C:\Program Files\Ste
