Because brown starts with a B, we should have a lead designer who's name also starts with a B. /me tries to dreamup old school skinner names starting with B... Bafo? Bhoggot? Boreen? Bransmutate? BadIce? Nah... Ah. Of course! BoXXi! <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/lol.

Reply to Bye in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Elfkura: It would have been wise to speak with the people you wanted to speak with in the first place. A melodramtic "Bye" thread could have been avoided. You are a prominent face on this site. And a statement by you that something is wrong with this site may have (a negative or positive) impact, because you are a respected member of this site. You know that... I try to avoid being involved in discu

Nice to see Buzz_Hog back gain. I remember buying a second monitor just to accomodate his huuuuuuuuuuge (640x480) cursors for CursorEx (in the pre-CuresorXP days). Also handy for Shoggot's rotating 24 frames/sec cursors.

Reply to DesktopX 2 is going to be soooo cool! in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

With DXPlayer you were able to control ObjectMedia (Stardocks media player) by adding individual objects (like a play button or equalizer fader). When you designed a full featured player that has a lot of these objects (lets say 30 or 40 or more) then one could see "after images" while dragging the object and one could see some CPU usage increase. Therefore DX1 was limited to simple player objects. With the new technology all these side effects are gone, CPU usage has been reduced significantly

Reply to Stardock ripoff in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I payed by money order. Of course that isn't very fast, but that had little to do with Stardock. There is no need to subscribe to WB. ObjectDesktop is a little different. All products that will be released for it will be yours for $50. That includes WindowBlinds, DesktopX and ObjectBar. There is no need to subscribe for the next year ($35), but of course you will not receive any upgrades in that year. BTW: Why are you so negative about SD and still want to buy their pr

Reply to DesktopX - DXPlayer & Shutdown in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

OK. Those are rather old versions. Would you like to try ObjectMedia (new name of SDPlayer) instead? You can download it from Stardock Central. It will install a new version of DXPlayer too. DXPlayer wasn't the cause of your problem, but maybe SDPlayer was. Please try ObjectMedia and mail me ([email protected]) when you still have the problem. BTW: You can check the DesktopX version by opening SDC. Click t

Reply to DesktopX - DXPlayer & Shutdown in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

No. But I am rather interested in that. Can please give me more details. What are you shutting down? Windows or DesktopX? What version of Windows, DesktopX and DXPlayer do you have? Are using ObjectMedia, SDPlayer, WinAmp or CoolPlayer? And what versions does the player you use have have?

Reply to Schade I´m german in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Being a bloody foreigner myself, I can understand the point. Windows is localized in several languages. And for good reasons. People like to work in their own language. And it would be great to have software in your own language too. American companies often do not see the point. Stardock is no different. However, some of SD's products, like CursorEx (Italian lead programmer) and SkinStudio (Polish lead programmer), do allow one to translate the software. Remember, that localizing software can b
