Reply to Fall back? Spring ahead? Rubbish. in Everything Else WinCustomize Forums

[quote who="DaveRI" reply="34" id="3625894"] Both of those make me want to stick my hand in there and give 'em a good rub (always at some risk of being left with shreds ) [/quote] Nah, he's a big baby, and loves to rub on peoples feet. He isn't declawed though so if he does stick them out they are like tiny needles and will certainly leave a mark

Reply to Stardock Announces the Release of WindowBlinds 10 in Press Releases (WC) WinCustomize Forums

I recommend reverting back to Default Windows GUI, deactivate the WB license in WB UI, Uninstall WB, reboot, THEN install WB 10. Yeah, I know, a lot of steps but from my experience, it was needed to get the correct version number to show in About WB and in the systray. YMMV P.S. It was worth it, I'm really liking the new look.

Reply to New WindowBlinds 10 Brings More Customization to your Windows 10 Experience! in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

Just a heads up, Smart Screen Filter tried to block the download from my store account page. I had to go to other options and allow it. That's the first time I can ever remember that happening with any SD software. Windows 7, IE11 Also now on install, the About and tray icon say I still have 8.05 install, yet I do have the new UI. I have rebooted. Windows 7 Ultimate (7601.win7sp1_gdr.160211-0600) WindowBlinds 8.05 (027 - Windows 7 Edition) - 64 bit

Reply to Thank you in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

[quote who="starkers" reply="7" id="3624971"] I will do my darndest to prevent Win 10 forcing its way in on those rigs. [/quote] Just wait until the "free" period is over. I see no way they can force anyone to buy the OS other than dropping support for the older ones.

Reply to 4K monitor breaks Fences in Fences WinCustomize Forums

[quote who="alexmar23" reply="3" id="3624766"] The only way I can fix the problem once the fences/icons are in disarray is to reboot. [/quote] Have any of you tried just logging off and back on? That should reload your desktop settings and would be much quicker than a reboot if it works. Just a suggestion.

Reply to Okay, I have an Issue With My External HDDs in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

I make full image back ups so when, not if, disasters like this happen, I can load the image up and put everything back as it was without starting from scratch. I have too many programs and updates installed to reinstall if I did that I use ToDo Workstation. Don't you have a backup plan, Mark? I try to image my system at least once a month, or as needed.

[quote]Make sure the web address http://skins20.wincustomize.com is correct. [/quote] That isn't a valid address for a Dream file in the WC gallery. It should look more like this: https://www.wincustomize.com/explore/dream/7493 Name a few that you are trying to find, I'll be happy to check the download links for you.

Reply to Iconpackager for Windows 10 ??? in OS Customization WinCustomize Forums

[quote who="CerealKiller81" reply="49" id="3622264"] I like to look at a nice wallpaper. icons are only needed until you click one. [/quote] If you like a clean, uncluttered desktop, then Fences is for you. It's a great way to keep things tidy and organized. (Plus, it gets updated on a fairly regular basis or as needed.)
