Reply to What should I base my customisation on? in OS Customization WinCustomize Forums

Welcome to the world of skinning. Most people pick the WindowBlind first, and build from there because that's what you see the most. However, you could easily start from a wallpaper that you like, and find matching skins and icons, etc. There is also DesktopX which is a program for making gadgets like weather, meters and a lot of other things. There is also Sysmetrix and Rainlendar which a lot of people skin. Click on Gallery at the top of the page and look t

Reply to Downloading docklets in ObjectDock WinCustomize Forums

If you have a zip file that contains folders, etc., and NOT a .dockzip, you can create a dockzip by clicking on Configure ObjectDock and clicking on Themes (in OD Plus). You will see Packing Images For Sharing. Click on Package Files, and you will get a dialog box that is reasonably easy to figure out. When you're done, click on Create Package, and a .dockzip will bw created that you will find on your desktop. Double click on the .dockzip and it will install

Did you check out the link that Shirley gave you in reply #3? I took a look--you might be better off disabling the Powerlink decoder, and going to Microsoft and getting theirs.

Reply to Installing Object Desktop on Multiple Computers in Object Desktop WinCustomize Forums

DisturbedComputer made a good post. The idea is that you can install the software on a second computer if it is yours and only you use it. Your software is yours forever--if you don't resubscribe, it will still work, but can't be updated until you have a valid subscription again. You can (and should ) archive your software (using Impulse). Copy and save the files

Reply to looking for UK weather widget pls in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

Try this from Vad_M. It's called Weatherlab 6.3. It says it's a widget, which means that you would need DesktopX to use it, but I'm pretty sure that it is a gadget instead, which means you don't need DesktopX. It has a list of 38,000 cities around the world to pick from, 10 day forecasts, and a bunch of other things like changing the colour and so on. Get it here: <a href="http://vad-m.wincustomize.com/sk

Reply to Help. in Object Desktop WinCustomize Forums

Get WindowBlinds here: https://www.wincustomize.com/store/?type=software I would highly recommend getting ObjectDesktop which has numerous "skinning" programs and includes WindowBlinds. It's a real bargain. Try out IconPackager, DesktopX, Deskscapes and others to see. Get Impulse from this page

[quote who="kfg1960" reply="2" id="2537131"]Thank you, that worked althought I guess I'll have to watch for new skins as Rainlender says the skin you are attempting to use is for an old version and some items may not work. Again many Thanks as what you said to do, did infact work. [/quote] The new, free version of Rainlendar doesn't have all the features of of the old version. You would have to buy it. You can still get the old version

Reply to New User in Stardock Support General WinCustomize Forums

I'd recommend that you buy ObjectDesktop instead. It includes WindowBlinds as well as a lot of other programs like IconPackager and DesktopX to name just two. It's a great savings, and something that you will probably end up getting anyway once you explore the world of skinning. Click on "Gallery" up at the top of the page and you will see all the available programs that can be "skinned". As the doctor says, we

Reply to First blind WIP in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

I agree with everyone else--it looks like you've been doing it for awhile. Make sure that you get that red-necked dude to do a DX theme; he never does anything, so it will give him something to do.
