[quote who="Uvah" reply="34" id="3595299"]Understood but can I pay with a money order. I don't have paypal and the m.o. is my only way. [/quote] As far as I know, BMT Micro, Winstep's payment processor, accepts money orders too. Just click on the 'Buy Now' links to go to the shopping cart, then select the payment method. Or you can promise to buy me a burger if I'm ever close to where you are hehe.
[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="29" id="3595192"]I like the 'real time' and 'self naming' features. No doubt the first skinning module will have a Forum at Winstep.net, where folks can give input on features they'd like seeing added...I really look forward to seeing it![/quote] Thanks, Seth! I'll release a beta of the Winstep Theme Builder as soon as I have something minimally acceptable in terms of functionality, so users can give some feedback and help sha
Happy birthday, Jim!!!! :)
[quote who="Uvah" reply="30" id="3595203"]Went to winstep.net looking to see if purchasing Winstep Ultimate can be done by money order. Went to about us...clicked on sales and nothing happens. Its as if the link is dead. Other than that......[/quote] You mean the Sales *email address* link? Clicking that will launch your default email client if you have one configured. Otherwise you will have to copy the address and paste it to web mail or something.
Yep. :)
[quote who="DaveRI" reply="22" id="3595089"]An "Undo" button with a few levels?[/quote] I had thought about that already, but I'm not sure what the best way to implement that is, i.e.; granularity of the Undo: a new level every time you change a single setting or only when you preview the theme? Anyway, I better explain the basic idea behind the Winstep Theme Builder: The Builder itself does not skin anything, it only provides a GUI to the skinning settings as well
By the way, if you guys have an suggestions for the Theme Builder, now is exactly the time to give them.
Ahah, nah, just began working on it. But if you know me even a bit, you also know that once I start I don't stop until it's finished. And I'm usually very fast. :) Actually spent a great part of the night working on that About screen lol... the thing is animated too: when you open it both the Theme Builder logo and the 'Theme Builder' text literally 'pounce' (and bounce) in your direction. It's like you've been punched in the face. ;)<
Hey Phoon, Davebax: [e digicons]O:)[/e]
Thanks Zubaz, Jim! :)
[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="6" id="3592703"]You *could* have released this yesterday, you know.[/quote] Actually, I did. Only had time to make the announcement here now. Happy birthday again, Seth! :) [quote who="Phoon" reply="7" id="3592704"]Now.. any progress on that ever elusive Theme Creation mechanism?[/quote] Actually yes. It will be in the next release.
loool! Thanks, Jafo! :) I'll look into that Australian translation. Guess it's a simple question of translating all occurrences of the word 'woman' in the language file to 'Sheila' and add 'You call that a knife?! That's not a knife, this is!!!' to the end of every sentence. ;-)
Thanks! Unfortunately there is no way to set the post background to black and I don't have time to re-do the teaser screenshots. Ah well. :)
The Winstep Nexus dock is a FREE dock for Windows. Every feature you’d expect from a dock, including widgets, mouse-over effects, skin

Yep, it's the Metro/Modern apps, I've run into this issue myself when working on v15.7 of the Winstep Nexus dock and had to code around it. Metro apps in Windows 10 are hosted by ApplicationFrameHost.exe. The executable creates a window inside which the Metro app window itself is hosted. Even worse, the Metro window will 'stick around' even when the user has closed the Metro application itself, although no longer attached to the main ApplicationFrameHost.exe window, an issued
This blank icons bug/issue, despite being a well known problem for MANY YEARS (I'm sure Stardock is very much well aware of it), still hasn't been fixed. I have no idea why IconPackager uses a IconHandler sub-key for exe files, since it doesn't even change the icons for those, but the fact that it does and that it doesn't remove it on uninstall has caused countless grief for many (me included). Me included not because I use IconPackager but bec
Ok, I just tried it on a Windows 10 system and I see no such problem. My guess is that this is something specific to your system, sorry.
I haven't seen that one yet, I'll check it out when I get back home from the weekend. However, if this is true for all systems, it sounds more like a bug in Windows 10 than a compatibility problem. Furthermore, if the folder opens anyway, its not a serious issue, right?

No, but keep in mind I always keep my promises. It might take some time, that's all (old timers will remember how long Nexus took to become a reality lol... but the fact is that it did, and look at the thing go now! ;-) ).
Site is back up. :)
[quote who="Philly0381" reply="23" id="3412560"]Since you are here, and alive , I'm sure most folks would be very interested in hearing about not only Win 8/8.1 compatibility but if Winstep will remain backward compatible with Win 7, Vista and XP.[/quote] But of course, I'm from the same school of thought as Microsoft's Raymond Chen (backwards compatibility is a must). For instance, Winstep software was, AFAIK, the last software of its kind to abandon Win9x compatibility (
This is going to take a handful of hours more, unfortunately, since the site needs to be moved to another server and we have to wait for DNS propagation etc (the server it has been on for the past year was actually supposed to be temporary, Johanne was working on a WordPress version of the site which meant going from a Windows based server to a Linux based server, but then that got on limbo). The Winstep forums are on a different (Linux) server, which is why, unlike the main site,
Thanks, Nimbin. :) Ordered a new PC last week with Windows 8.1 on it (so I can optimize Winstep software for it), waiting for delivery. There's no way I'm putting Windows 8.x on my main development system. lol
