Reply to When is 50 Billion Dollars Not Enough in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

My take... Yahoo is the loser any way you cut it, and Microsoft is the winner, in that it didn't have to have this ridiculous deal go through. I don't know what they had in mind? But I couldn't possibly imagine that deal ending up with a positive result :p

Docklets in .NET / C#? in Docks WinCustomize Forums

Hey everybody, Poke your developer friends, I'm interested in hearing if anyone would be interested in writing docklets in .NET languages such as C#. Considering adding the ability to do so. Would allow for simple operation such as overloading the Paint method to do drawing, and performcing drawing via just drawing to the provided graphics object just like it were a regular window, etc etc etc. This as well as assistance in creating/drawing-to/animating alpha-blend

Reply to HD-DVD lives at CES in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

That sucks. I dont give a crap who wins, I just want this nonsense over. Advantage: BluRay, so down with HD-DVD. On a similar topic... I recently spec'd a Dell out the other day with a BluRay drive. Cost an extra $500, for on a laptop anyways. For all the ridiculous added inconvenice of unreliability (my DVD player has never broken, but my PC's video card software sure has freaked out before) I don't see the point, beyond if you plan to rip all the bluray disks to your harddrive (can

Reply to Facebook vs. ConnectU: Round 1.... FIGHT! in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

...I don't get it. Is there even such thing as "stealing an idea for a business"? I mean, unless the process is patented, but I certainly haven't heard anything regarding any patents flying around. Hell NetFlix can't even seem to get anything done in its seemingly obvious case against Blockbuster, where patents on the business model were involved. At the end of the day, its all about execution. ConnectU still looks/works like garbage to this day, and Facebook was always attractive, in

Reply to Weather & Search Docklet Problem in ObjectDock WinCustomize Forums

JazTonic: I'd try reinstalling ; something is likly not working right with your installation. (You can use the troubleshooting dialog to help back up your settings, which sound like they aren't the cause of the problem...except you may want to delete and re-add the search docklet & make sure it gets deleted from the program directory when you uninstall)

Reply to Bug (dock suddenly appears) in Object Desktop WinCustomize Forums

Agreed. amardeep: check your settings on your dock to see if you have any "hotspots" set for it if it is a tabbed dock. if it is a zooming dock, try dragging the slider for "delay to bring dock to front" all the way to the right to being "disabled".

Reply to Drag and drop not working in Docks WinCustomize Forums

Ah ha! That's it, nice detective work Yes, it was the starting of ObjectDock from Stardock Central. Since Stardock Central is an app that (currently) needs to run as admin because of it's installer-ability, any app it in turn runs Windows automatically makes "run as admin" as well.

Reply to Drag and drop not working in Docks WinCustomize Forums

One more thing, quick question - User Account Control is indeed on for you correct? Assuming yes, are you running ObjectDock "as administrator"? If so that could be the source of the problem, don't know if there will be a workaround available for that if that is the case due to Windows' security protections.

Hi Bob, I had noticed recently that the drag & drop on Vista with UAC on was sometimes still problematic. We'll have that fixed for the next update for sure

Reply to ObjectDock Plus 1.9: Feature Tour in ObjectDock WinCustomize Forums

A couple notes about the weather docklet, good news is that we've been working closly with our official partner AccuWeather on improving this, and will be rolling out an updated system later this summer that should significantly improve the situation. As is, some international locations can have some trouble, but on the whole the system has shown to definitely pick up most US locations fine. Second, the weather docklet is freely available as part of the no-charge
