Reply to Tiles 0.95 Beta Available for Object Desktop Subscribers in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

[quote]Philly0381reply 3It would appear that Tiles is a program or function of it's own now rather than a replacement for the Windows Taskbar when it first came out. I say this because the time and date and system tray options have been dropped. Would this be a correct analysis?EDIT: It would also appear the option to use the WBs skin on Tiles is gone, why? If you ask me dropping these three options is not a step in the right direction, especially using

Welcome to the WC scripttron75 Dang Wizards ... always get the drop on stuff. Hi Wiz...lol[/quote] I didn't do that at all. I simply installed 7.3 overtop of the last beta and rebooted. Worked just fine.

Reply to WindowBlinds Everywhere! in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Yep, things are looking pretty hot out there From time to time I see a comment on a skin from someone saying they "can't" use it because it's a Win7 theme. A lot of times the Win7 themes work pretty well on XP (and look great) as long as a person doesn't obsess about the few oddities. So, shy XP users, go ahead and give them a whirl, there's always delete I find the WindowBlinds 7 skins work perfectly well on my V

[quote]Reaper- Do you have "Show pre-release versions" checked in Impulse? (Click on "the orb", then the 1st item in popup menu.)[/quote] Thanks, Dave. That did the trick! I wasn't sure which way to turn on that "show pre-releases". Didn't realize the orb was anything more than decoration! :LOL:

Reply to DeskScapes 3 Beta 1 Released in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

[font="Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,Serif"][size="2"]Guys, I can't even seem to get the new Deskscapes program. It doesn't show up in Impulse and I've tried several times since I read the news here about the new Deskscapes Beta to download it. I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium and the older version of Deskscapes works just fine, but no offer to upgrade to the new version.[/size][/font] :(

Reply to DesktopX Problems in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

[quote]Just off the top of my head, is UAC enabled? (User account control) If it is, it can inhibit many functions. I might be off the mark, but it's where I'd start looking. If it's turned on, turn it off, reboot and then see what happens.[/quote] Doc, you were absolutely right! It seemed so simple that I actually didn't try it until now. I'd been corresponding back and forth between Stardock Technica

DesktopX Problems in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

There has been a recent problem for me with DesktopX widgets. I am using Windows Vista SP1 OS, it was working perfectly before but now every time I try to load a widget, I first get the stupid Vista securtiy crap asking me for permission to run it and then if I try loading a second widget DesktopX will not respond, period. No error message, no Windows asking for permission message, nothing. This all started the other

Reply to WindowBlinds 6.4 Update Released! in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

I don't know if anyone else has had this experience, but for me every time I get a new WindowBlinds update, there are a few skins--always the [I]same[/I] few skins--that I have to manually tweak the .UIS settings for, because the new WindowBlinds update will always forget or simply overwrite the .UIS files belonging to these skins. The usual culprits in question are "Aero Executive", "Aero Metal", "Diamond", "Leo", "Dragon", and "Pirate" all by Stardock Design, which have to have their .UIS file
