Reply to Rightclick rewrite? in Stardock Support General WinCustomize Forums

Oh yeah, Powerpro! Wow, that brings back memories... That is actually the app that prompted me to create NextSTART. Me and John T.Folden couldn't get PowerPro sub-menus to emulate the NeXT OS look properly (although it was ok for the main menu), so I wrote a small app that would pop up a NeXT looking sub-menu when one clicked on a PowerPro menu. Since we wanted different sub-menus for each button in the main PowerPro menu, I also came up with the user-definable hotspots conc

Doc, assuming you're running Xtreme v10.x, switch the style of the weather icons to 'Style 2'. I think you'll thank me for it. [e digicons]|-)[/e]

[quote who="aufisch" reply="11" id="2694811"](Winstep is good, but too much for my needs)[/quote] Yes, using Xtreme just as a RightClick replacement is a bit of a waste of potential. On the other hand, Xtreme is very easy to use and also fully modular, which means you can turn everything you don't want to use off and use just its ability to create customized menus with the built-in Menu Editor, activating them via user-configured hotspots (such a

[quote who="LightStar" reply="161" id="2691280"]We need something that only allows the file to be used by the original purchaser. [/quote] You need to start treating master skins as applications and distributing unique serial numbers (built using RSA public/private key encryption so a keygen cannot be made) with each master skin sold. Part of the serial would be a code that identified the skin and thus that serial would only work with that particular skin

[quote who="anarkys" reply="15" id="2690209"]Would you release a paid preview of your next generation software that was missing many features of your current version, had tons of known bugs and then make everyone wait 5-6+ months for an update?[/quote] In a word, No. But, as I said elsewhere, businesswise it was a very smart move as it commited users to ObjectDock - with a high potential for serious negative repercussions, in my opinion,

[quote who="Neil Banfield" reply="21" id="2688841"]I am curious if there would be a demand for a possible option to use a similar system for master theme protection as is currently used for some MyColors themes? The downside would be the users would be unable to modify the graphics themselves other than using the recolouring and texturing features built into WindowBlinds. [/quote] I was thinking about this. One way to solve this problem would be to have

Ah, no. Wouldn't be that useful anyway - and the Desktop CPU meter has something related, but MUCH better: it gives you a list of, say, the 1 to 4 programs using the most of the CPU at that specific time (and what percentage they are using). A single glance and you'll know what app is hogging your CPU. Same goes for the RAM meter, but in terms of memory usage. This is how I know IE sucks: top 3 slots on my system right now are Iexplore processes using 200-300 MB of RAM
