Reply to Use Tiles for a Minimal Desktop Setup in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

[quote who="impinc" reply="7" id="2941246"]Not trying to be difficult here, but how is that image in the OP minimalist? Wouldn't it be more minimalistic to NOT have tiles, and just use the start menu? The start menu takes up less room, and you can pin stuff to it. I guess I just fail to see what this brings over the start menu.[/quote] It's better than the start menu because with Tiles you only have the apps/folders/files that you want. With the Start Menu you h

Reply to Use Tiles for a Minimal Desktop Setup in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

Wondering if there's any updates coming soon for Tiles, I really love it, haven't taken it off my deskop since day one. I rarely use my Start Menu anymore. What I would like to see in an update would be... - Transparency options either in the skin editor or in the right-click menu - Option to move files around on each page cause I like to group things or have it alphabetal

[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="5" id="2933478"]Actually, it's because the sales are on the weekends. Who knew? Maybe they should make the weekend sales on Monday... the devious nature of that should really appeal to folks. [/quote] Very good idea, Doc. I can understand their frustration...when I buy a new toy, I want to play with it NOW, not two days later. Also most people just don't realize that WC and it's mods aren't Stardock (well kinda)

[quote who="RedneckDude" reply="13" id="2931410"]Unless I'm doing it wrong, "the hillbilly way" it seems you must pay for the beta....I'll wait.[/quote] Jim, just click the download button above the area where you put in your name and creditcard info. You don't have to register or pay before getting the beta, I thought at first I had to too.

[quote who="tazgecko" reply="2" id="2931251"]It's a nice little program and well worth a look. I found that because I use tiles for my taskbar I don't have a use for it. But I will be keeping a watch [/quote] I agree, I've been using Tiles with my Raimeter skins and am totally happy with the configuration. Tiles is perfect for me - except for one thing - I'd like to be able to rearrange my pinned apps on each page (I like to be alphab

Reply to Capping Starts Tomorrow – An End to an Era in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

I'm in Ontario (Canada) and we've had caps for awhile. My cable provider has different packages going form 2GB/month to 175/GB. The highest I could stomach (barely) paying for was 60/GB and that costs $45 + modem rental. If I went over the limit, I'd have to pay $2/GB. Because of the caps, I haven't bothered trying out NetFlix etc.

Reply to Join me in ripping a ripper in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Well, we're still fighting the fight against the ripped malware skins getting uploaded to the rainmeter gallery. Everyday there's a new one, sometimes 4-5! Testing, reporting, reporting, reporting, reporting!!! Some get taken down, some don't, report it again! The 'NEW' malware reporting tool is finally up and I'm sure I'll get the chance to use it tonite. I've been told that they are discussing the possibility of implementing an 'antivirus scanner
