Open WorkShelf Preferences. Is the Registration tab still visible? if not, it correctly self-registered. If it is still visible, go to the Advanced tab, click on the 'Troubleshooting Options' button then the 'Restore File Associations' button in the dialog that pops up. Close everything and double click the license key file again. If all goes well, you should get a dialog saying 'Thank you for registering...'

[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="59" id="3599690"] Might be nice to have a "fail safe" checklist type of arrangement...to make sure a vital element hasn't been missed. Also, another thought...workflow. Perhaps a suggested work flow could be offered as sort of a skeleton...so the skinner works efficiently...of course, that should probably come about from Winstep Forums from actual skinners...and it'll probably be pretty variable. [/quote] Both nice
Ok, I have all the skinning panels for Nexus done, as well as the Theme Builder panels, plus the Theme Browser. I was having some difficulty figuring out how to tie everything together, e.g.; as you know even though WorkShelf is a single application, it has multiple skinnable objects that can be skinned independently and have independent configuration files: the docks, the Shelf, each of the desktop modules, etc... Add NextSTART themes to this, etc... For instance, even

Be afraid... be very afraid! :-P ... be afraid to wake up the rest of your household at 1 AM when you run the Builder, that is.

Oh I've been working hard on it lol... and having fun adding some cute 'tidbits' to it whenever I'm tired of dealing with skinning panels. That About tab is something else now eheheh No worries though, I added options to disable the cute tidbits - or some people would surely be pulling their hairs out every time they opened the Builder. :-P
It's been a while since I last checked the Winstep section at DA, and I've got the themes there sorted by Most Popular, so those new themes skipped my attention until now. Haven't downloaded them yet, but looking at the screenshots, especially those made by Bleumart (Gawd, it's really cold in Quebec, lol)... not bad at all. And with no Theme Builder. Check it out .</
Been adding a few more panels. I will need you guys opinion on some stuff (for instance, should I add spin controls to the offset, etc, text boxes or is directly typing in the numbers more than enough?), Anyway, I think we should continue this discussion on the Winstep Forums . :) </p
Thanks... As for the Theme Builder, it's nicely limping along eheh. I'm still trying to 'get a feel' for how it will all tie together, although I'm slowly getting there. As you can see below, I'm trying to merge the Theme Builder with an illustrated Skinning Tutorial, so newbie skinners know what every setting does (and even advanced skinners, since Winstep allows some stuff no other application of its kind does, such as multiple types of dock overlays,
[quote who="gef" reply="14" id="3596234"]Seriously, why does it matter so much if one small extra icon is in the systray.[/quote] 1. Because *I* don't want it to. 2. Because with that icon comes 6.5 GB of stuff I do NOT want at this point (C:\$WINDOWS.~BT) and did not ask for sitting on my hard disk taking up space. 3. Because while that icon is in there (and sometimes even when it isn't) Microsoft will keep on trying to force feed me Windows 10 on Windows Upda
Ditto. Although I don't see a problem in discussing these things; nobody is upset, I think. :) Seth: yes, but if Adobe stops working, that is all I lose access to. Plus I would have had to opt in for Adobe as a service in the first place, of course. If Windows stops working, on the other hand, I won't be able to run *any* application, even though those other applications have been paid for and are mine. Big difference. :)
Hey, Jafo, you were right, Microsoft couldn't have made it easier to opt out of Windows 10 than that! Even my grandpa (if he was still alive!) would have been able to figure that out and do it (with his eyes closed)... NOT! lol :-P After all, Microsoft, with all their years of experience in UI design, knows perfectly well that adding a simple check box saying 'I don't want to upgrade to Windows 10 at this time, thank you, maybe later' is something way too complicated f
[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="27" id="3596073"]You do Winstep Extreme...on a yearly licensing basis as well...the development and maintenance as well as server rental space justify that. So why does MS have to be different? [/quote] I don't do 'software rental'. I don't charge for 'major upgrades' either (whatever that is), since what constitutes a 'major upgrade' is arbitrary. I do something which I think is fair for both users *and* me: when you
[quote who="Island Dog" reply="25" id="3596027"]The PR backlash alone would dictate that, among many other things.[/quote] Really? Want a bigger PR backlash than the one we are having now (oh, I can see that happening too lol)? If Microsoft doesn't care about the current backlash, what makes you think it would care more later? Currently Microsoft is practically *forcing* users to upgrade to Windows 10. If that was not true, they would make it easy to opt out of the upgrade

The notion that the NSA was spying on normal people was also deemed complete nonsense and the realm of tin foil monkeys... right until Edward Snowden blew the whistle, of course.

Yeah, it's their OS, but it's our computers too. At the very lea
Microsoft must be getting desperate that Windows 10 market share didn't remotely reach their projections even despite their bullying tactics, i.e.; preventing users from easily opting out of upgrading to Windows 10 by repeatedly surfacing kb3035583 on Windows Update even though users have selected to uninstall and hide it, and this week getting to the point of putting a *pre-selected* (by mistake, according to them yeah, right, we believe you) 'Windows 10

This said, since applications still use the normal folder-based program groups to install their shortcuts, under Windows 10 the Start Menu Organizer is still useful if you're running an appli
