Hey guess what? My Stardock Central doesn't show a 1.02 verison. It shows me a 1.01 version with an update date of 9/7/07. How funny is that? SD never lets me down when it comes to getting a good laugh on update day. Yeah, I know, I always complain, but I don't make these things up.
Meanwhile no one is threatening legal action against Monster because of this. Brilliant!
I'm sure there'll be lawsuit about this pretty soon. Someone will find something to complain about. BTW, the costs for sending these things out (general overhead for a corporation that size) is offset to the customer in one form or another. Those "regulatory fees" are not "regulatory". They are the "let's charge them something for our effort" fees. Don't kid yourself.
This is rediculous. Some environmentalists need to step in on this and smack ATT a new one. How many paper resources are wasted on this genius billing plan some idiot at Cingular came up with? No one needs itemized billing for data. That's just stupid. VZW doesn't do this. They simply detail the amount used.... done.
Freaking Google!!! Anything to try and make a buck these days I guess. Funny how I didn't see Google complain and file lawsuites because it can't integrate with Linux's "native" search abilities inside the OS. When will these 3rd party vendors stop with this BS. And people wonder why there's so many holes in an OS.... it's because the OS has to be made open to a certain extent for these lame ass 3rd party apps to work. I don't need Google search invading my personal search capabilities on t
Doh!
Just what the title states. This was the case with a PC that has an ATI 9600XT card in it. It worked fine in 7.4, upgraded to 7.5, now both apps will not play anything on the background. More of an FYI then anything else.
Type Window Blinds in Search. Or in Run .. See if that brings it up. Hahaha... type Window Blinds in Run....
maybe that's just a vista thing... I uninstalled SDC / rebooted / installed a new one / rebooted / everything showed up, WB uninstalled fine. Maybe, I dunno. I haven't gotten a chance to test it under XP yet, but will just to check. I've rechecked this on Vista on two systems and they both behaved the same way. Also, what's up with all the people on here that keep posting that think "I" have an issue with my ability to install or uninstall WB
OK, since everyone is so smart here. I've got one for you since I felt like testing things out a little. On Vista, if you install SDC and then install WB via SDC you obviously don't get an uninstall under add/remove in Control Panel. We're all clear on that. Here's the clincher.... if you then uninstall SDC you're left without a way to uninstall WB at that point. Not only that, but if you reinstall SDC and you still can't uninstall WB. You have to rerun the install for WB out of SDC at lea
Or for crying out loud. Go to start Click on Control Panel Click on Programs Click on Uninstall Programs Click on WB's and click uninstall Thats all their is too it. Install it via SDC and then go to add/remove programs. See if it's listed..... yeah, you want me to put salt on your foot before you stick it in your mouth?
If you install via SDC you uninstall via SDC. If you install via a standalone installer than you uninstall via the add/remove programs which has the standalone uninstaller. There should be uninstall information in Add/Remove regardless of what you use to install it. It just makes more sense that way. Also, I lost count on how many times I've uninstalled WB from a system and it leaves stuff behind, but then again so does every other program known to ma
How about you guys just write an uninstall to go with it? Either that or plaster a link all over the Windowblinds site with an uninstall app for it. Not everyone uses SDC to install and uninstall your apps, especially since you can easily buy Windowsblinds as a standalone. It needs to have it's own uninstall (complete) bundled with it. Come on guys, stop putting blinders on when you write these programs. p.s. All else fails, you can use the Microsoft Installer Cleaner tool to ge
Yep, all these programs are written by the same company. They need to standardize on the location of the install ACROSS THE BOARD. It would just make things so much more organized.
Stardock guys, can we get some standardized install locations on DeskScapes? What I mean by this is in Vista on the Start Menu DeskScapes installs in a folder structure of All Programs/Startdock/Object Desktop/Desk Scapes(the program icon). The big nasty look is when you also have WB5.5 installed with by default puts itself under All Programs/Object Desktop/Windowblinds(the program icon). Don't you think this is a little "unorganized" looking? I suggest you drop everything in subfolder of St
I believe Stardock only releases the full versions (e.g: 1 or 1.1) for free, the Beta-versions are for ObjectDesktop subscribers only. as kind of a "preview".... You know, that makes the MOST sense so far from anyone's post in this thread. I didn't even think about that simply because I alwasy expect to see "b" after the version number indicating a beta. This must be it... sure would have been nice to keep version numbering standards consit
DeskScapes is free but Desktop Earth isn't, it's for subscribers only. Make sure you don't have the sub folder selected as that contains Desktop Earth. Yeah, I know about Earth Desktop... this was just for DeskScapes, but honestly I didn't check to see if there was a + next to it. Could have been and I just didn't catch it, but generally speaking SDC doesn't autocheck subfolders on updates, just the initial product. Case in point, with WB it only updat
Civic, are you an ObjectDesktop subscriber? Why would that have any relevance to a free product on SDC? If you can download the product in exe standalone form from the dream website SDC should be able to download the free updates as well. That doesn't make any sense.
I'm old enough to know about Daiwa audio equipment, even had a Daiwa reel-to-reel at one time. That's just not where my handle comes from. Cheers. Works for me... as long as I'm not alone in knowing that fact. Hmmm, fishing tackle then? He already said Golf Equipment.
Yeah, I know it's the wrong forum, but there's no DeskScapes forum. Anyway, why is it that SDC reports a new version of DeskScapes in Vista, but you can't update it via SDC because it asks for a registration code? DeskScapes is supposed to be FREE. What is the deal with that? SDC reports current installed version as 1.01(which came from the DeskScapes website) and a new version of 1.01.xxx(I forget exactly the number, but SD should know the answer anyway.) Is this a bug with SDC?
It's better to let someone think you are an Idiot than to open your mouth and prove it. What was that?... maybe you're just too young to remember them. They no longer make a lot of electronics, but here's a link to a DVD player... WWW Link Maybe I should have just said Mr. Mynameisamakeroffishinggear to keep the young people from proving they are too young. <img
Mr. Glasshalfempty strikes again. Hey Mr. Mynameisamakerofoldschoolstereos, I got something for you... :middlefinger:
Go to Override Default Settings in WindowBlinds and look in the middle of the page. Change the taskbar size away from "Skin Decides Taskbar Size" to something else. This should allow you to change the size of the taskbar. I agree with you that WB should leave the taskbar the size you set it as for freak sake. Why can't it just skin the thing the same way that XP Themes do and let it keep whatever size you set it to? Yet another one of those "stupid" things.
We may add the option to delete a wallpaper from the wallpapers page, but we will not be automatically deleting the wallpapers when you delete a skin as I do not believe this is something most people would want. How about an option (like a check in settings) that allows for auto delete of the wallpaper when you delete the skin? That way people that want it like this don't have to do extra work and people that don't want it to do this can just uncheck th
There's an issue with WB5.5 and wallpapers that are included in skins. Apperently when you install a windowblind theme in WB5.5 any wallpapers that are included with the skin are extracted or cached to the wallpaper directory under Windowblinds. Well, the issue is that when you delete the skin it doesn't delete the wallpaper associated with it. This may not be a big deal with some people, but I think it's a shorcoming of the system. This goes right in line with my initial questions as to why
