Reply to Delay in the dock appearing at boot in ObjectDock WinCustomize Forums

[quote who="Jafo" reply="3" id="3494494"] Sounds suspiciously like you're using Windows 8. The 'unfortunate' thing is that programs such as OD actually reveal how long the OS takes to load. If your times are 8 and 12 seconds then the true boot time of the OS is 20, not 8. MS's attempt at fooling its customers. Visible desktop at 12 seconds before the OS has finished loading is pointless other than giving the 'appearance' of a fas

Reply to Changing size of desktop icon and text size in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

[quote who="thedoctor953" reply="11" id="3515162"] Island Dog, I stated that I was wrong about that. But, SkinStudio DOES allow you to change the font size of text on icons. I have seen different themes have different font sizes on text of icons. For example, the themes that come with WindowBlinds have different font sizes on text for icons. The Concept theme has text size on fonts a lot smaller than say Diamond. Okay, where can I chan

Reply to Latest BitDefender Update Causes Error Logging On to Outlook.com in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

what did you think haha - that i install it and wait for something bad to happen :D I will throw the simple EICAR test file at it and place some actual nastys from a CD on my disk and launch them. Then i will run a single scan in safemode and see what it finds. Symantec is stopping me from using them and deletes them before i can launch them, since due the reputation center.

When my Subscription for Symantec AV does expire i might give it a shot. Doc could you tell me how it performs in speed please, they say it would have the lowest impact on Performance but most tests i see show different results. Not sure what package you use urself but i plan on using AV only, these normaly do include protection against injectors or droppers so i dont see the need for the full package, i would not make use of half the tools in the other packages.

Ok but why pay more? DID you not already have an OD subscription? Sorry i dont want to be an jackass this time, i just don't get the math behind it and i can't find a good reason for myself currently to go and buy infinite. My thoughts: Since you´re a Master Skinner now, i doubt that you would stop using those tools on a monthly basis. Well unless you did not have one, what would make no sense since you created stuff... Makes me wonder do you get SD

Reply to 4k resolution screens in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

OK i made a view screenshots to demonstrate This is the simulation of "4K" without windowblinds, the first window on the left monitors will allow you to adjust the window size text buttons and so on- to kjeep it short it will affect everything just not the parts seperately. Using that slider will also work with windowblinds since windowblinds uses the values that are defined by windows.

@ Dave you do have the chance if you have an expansive Graphics card that supports 4K Nvidia for example has options for it in the nvidia system settings called DSR- Dynamic Super Resolution It does let you pick a much higher resolution and will scale it down to your native resolution (in games and for your desktop) I have such a card therefore i know of it, still i think it would be better for djliamdj to open a support ticket and ask if they will consider implementating

Reply to 4k resolution screens in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

With luck in 2 years, when 4K is truly supported and a little more widely spread, currently it would serve only those who are wealthy enough to afford a 4K screen, while there is almost no content streamed or released for it unless you take upcomming bluray releases into account and the Superbowl, Worldchampionships. A good example dual or tripple (tri) screen setups are out for many years take a look into the wallpaper section how often do you spot one? SO rather than as

Did you see post #10 ? You said when in chrome you get constant redirects and popups. Did you yet check the number of selected startuppages ? And search engines selected.

Uhm you can change the size of your desktop icons without any 3rd party program. It is a windows build in feature. Here is how : Go to an empty part of your desktop left click on it once.

Ok, I do not mind the name they could even call it something like "Smurf", marketing wise it makes sense to give it, a badass name like Spartan As long as I will be able to choose between protocols I will be fine Hopefully they will be right on the spot with the design choice this time and with a little luck we will be able to test it early on a CP.
