Those old weather widgets should be removed, as was indicated at the time of the feed cutoff. As Jim says, they give a wrong impression when someone downloads them, and they don't work. Even if Stardock doesn't update DesktopX, it's still a highly useful program, and I always use it and the tools made for it without fail. I remember well making a predicti

Somebody should get in touch with McAfee about their giving the site a red rating. McAfee tested 204 downloads and found four to be dangerous. A fair number of people use McAfee Site Advisor, and will stay away. If you go to this page, there is a place where the site owners can explain the situation, get retested, and get a green rating. Also, users of the site can comment, which does influence the rating. <a href=
Congratulations.
This is one of my favourites by you. It's a great shade of blue. Thanks again for thinking of XP.
Sounds good--cooking's a lot of work some times.
Beautiful work, Jim. It's a bit strange that they keep it cleverly hidden. It's the best way to go if you have serious problems.
Hey Don-- I'm glad to hear that things are finally looking up for you. Come and say hello at Skinnalicious--we've been through some hard times as well, and Cliff will be glad to see you again. (And, it's great to see another DX guy in action).
I hope that it's nothing serious, Cyndie.
Congratulations to the pickees.
The Band was Ronnie Hawkins' backup group that eventually formed after Ronnie moved to Toronto. Here's a link to a bio: http://theband.hiof.no/history/part_2.html Ronnie Hawkins performed with The Band during their Last Waltz show: <a
I haven't seen any Dr. Who since the Jon Pertwee days; I thought it was pretty hokey. However, I was a huge science fiction (books, mainly) fan. I still have a few hundred old books (quite a few Ace Doubles). My favourite authors are A.E. Van Vogt, Robert Heinlein, Jack Williamson, Keith Laumer (hilarious; Retief, the galactic diplomat), and a few others. Has anybody heard of/read The Rose (?) by Charles Harness?
Same thing for Steppenwolf; they all came from Toronto, including John Kay who had moved from Germany.
It's good to see you back at work, Merle.
Master quality indeed. Off topic here, but one of the things I've noticed over the last few years is that (in the skinning world) a lot of people who aren't "artists" in their jobs have amazing artistic abilties nonetheless. Xiandi is just one of the examples of that (and a good one).
Three cheers for Gosciny and Uderzo (Asterix).
I miss him and his work, as well. Happy Birthday to you, sir.
I'm not sure why you would need the .ini file. When you right-click on an icon to change it, and the dialog box with "Change Image" opens, selecting Change Image brings you to the folder that the presently used icon resides in, whereever that might be. That means that ObjectDock knows where your folder is. I'm presuming here that it can follow a path not on C because I haven't tried it on an external source myself. You could try putting a folder on
I use "Bundled Images" as my icon folder; no particular reason. In any case, you can put your icons anywhere you want. When you right-click on an icon to change it, click "Dock Entry Properties", click "Change Image"; the box that opens has "Browse for an image" link in the lower left-hand corner. That can take you anywhere .
Norton 2010 has been picking away at Silica for awhile for me. Silica has been on my computer in more than one place for years; it was only recently that Norton started to notice it. If it was true, I would have had some trouble long ago. I believe it's packaged with DesktopX, so anybody that has DX would have Silica widgets, and the problem would have surfaced years ago.
Hey I.D.--you're just spoiling that rednecked dude. (Nice skin, though).
There's no greater satisfaction in life than buying something, and then finding out that it doesn't work--it makes you want to break things. The thing is, though, that most of the people who have bought this software have never had problems, and when someone does, they end up getting solved, either by Stardock Support, or by helpful commenters in the forums. Stardock has been around quite awhile, and they certainly don't engage in "bait and sw
Now that someone has mentioned it, I'm curious too. It's such a great application; it would be a shame to see it fade away.
Please join me in celebrating a long-time member of and highly productive contributor to WinCustomize who has a birthday today. He's still trying to unpack from a move.
Welcome to WinCustomize and the world of skinning. There's a program for just about any of the graphics on your computer, as well as programs like Fences which can categorize your icons on your desktop (and hide/show them), and Theme Manager, which applies the "skins" for various programs, meaning that you can recreate your desktop graphics.
Good picks.
