Reply to DesktopX 1.1 is nearing.. in WinCustomize News JoeUser Forums

w00master. It is obvious that you don't like DX. You are entitled to your opinion. But at least get your facts right. Most DX themes are not ports from HD, LS or WS. Sure there are DX themes which are also found as HD LS and or WS themes. These are often no ports, but parts of a (coordinated) suite. Most of these are developed simulateously. BTW: I think LS has more ports (in the true sense of the word) than the other products. Black Box, KDE and Enlightment based themes come to mi

Feline: The channel was there for the developers in the first place. You can imagine the horror when the common folks came along. Now there are even admins there who never seen a compiler. There are about 20 people in #Stardock during the week. About half that number during the weekend. The #WinCustomize channel has an avarage between 1 and 4 visitors. The good news is that Transmut

For some time now Stardock has its own IRC server. Developers and customers can meet there. You can come there for help or just to chat. It would be great if this channel was better known and a link on the front page which tells one how to get there would be great. You need an IRC client to get connected. The server is called irc.stardock.com and it is using port 6667. If you don't have an IRC client yet then you can get there from here: https://www.stardock.com/stardock/chat/<

Frogboy: There are now 5 links to community sites. Why not add 3 instead of one to cover all 7 sites mentioned by you The numbers 5, 6 and 7 on your list only differ marginally (+/- 1%). All these sites are important to the community. The amount of overhead is nothing compared to the text and graphics in the middle of the page. Just my 2 € cents <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/joke.gif" bo

Skinning XP with WB3 in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

When doing some stuff for SKS, I had to find out how XP skinning worked. The best thing you can do is to try it yourself. So, I did and made some notes. There are a lot of good XP skins arround, but a lot of them contain bugs, because nobody knows how to skin them. Even skins from great people like Alexandrie have some bugs in them. She cannot help that because she didn't know. The problem starts when people are using her skins as a template for their own and the bugs get copied <img sr

To create your own system tray like you want it click right on the desktop. Select "DesktopX" from the context menu, and then click "New Object". Right click the new object and select "Properties". A dialog appears. On the top you can select the "Object class" by pressing the arrow to the right of the edit box. Select "System tray". Now press "Configure" below it and set the options presented in the dialog that appears. After closing that dialog press the "Appearance" icon. The dialog c

Reply to deviantART removed from community sidebar links? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Brad, I know you love statistics. However, IMHO it would be great if the few true skin sites that are left support each other by at least have a link to their front page. You can still have your hitlist below it in text. If bandwidth for the buttons for the major sites is a concern then use text for that too. As an alternative there is an option to switch icons on or off and maybe you could consider the buttons being icons as well. If icons are hidden use text instead of buttons. For the moment

Welcome Alex. Getting a theme is not enough. You need to have the app that applies the theme. Some of the software is freeware, others are shareware. The theme you mean is called Bob XP for DesktopX. You can find that on this site. More information about DesktopX you will find here https://www.stardock.com/products/desktopx/
