[quote]lol why dont you just download it and get the cracked one?[/quote] Stolen does not = free in my book. It has served me well since 1/08 and is worth buying, but my budget won't allow it right now. I do believe in paying for products that suit my purpose and work as advertised. I'm not knocking AVG's decision to charge after 30 days,more that c|net puts it under "free" when it is plainly Trialware. Free should be just that. So, I'll try some other free AV, but won't dismiss AVG as

AVG Free 7.5 is no more..... in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

I just ran my daily avg scan after which I got a splash screen telling me AVG Free 7.5 will no longer be updated,and you must upgrade to "free" version 8.0. Sounds good,right? NOT! So-called free version 8 will only scan your mail for 30 days then you must upgrade to the paid version.Read the reveiws on c|net here. http://www.download.com/AVG-Anti-Virus-Free-Edition/3000-2239_4-10320142.h

Nice job as usual, the before and after shots show what a little color change can do. I went with "old stock" last week myself. Nordigan WB/Icons by Z71; Surreal Eclipse WP and Log-on by Devjit; Tri-Tip DXwidgets by Richard Mohler. I was suprised when my mother even liked it.(old stock also lol) I'd put a ss here but I can never get that to work for me ;p Here's a link, if you'd like to see it, and keep up the good work.[link="http://img241.imageshack.us/my.php?image=1mayssuy6.jpg"]WWW Link[/l

Franky, please go to this page, it will tell you how to configure autohide in RD settings/behavior/autohide. You can set it to auto from there or drop down menu only. Appears you just have to live with the limitations. Have a nice day! http://rocketdock.com/Help/English/#docklets

The free version 1.90 build534 will allow me to toggle autohide,it's listed in the docklets as "toggle autohide",it's on my dock and I use it 30+ times a day,or am I imagining this? P.S. Thanks for the icons,Frankell, even if I am hallucinating! ;p

[quote]I bet this how that has all happened pictoratus. I have updated mine not using sdc. All my programs are now updated via Impulse. I have learned not to trust sdc for the time being.

Egads! The buttons are gone from Impulse. Again a little patience is in order, remember,Impulse is "under construction" and the buttons were an early tease. Maybe when they reappear, they'll be working. :CONGRAT: I'll wait.

This happened to me 3 or 4 updates ago, then just as suddenly, they re-appeared the update before this last one. Sorry I don't remember version #'s but I'm sure it didn't revert to an earlier version. I just waited and did without them,knowing a fix would come sooner or later.I still have them with this update, so it appears to be a random event. You might try restoring from archive if you don't want to go that route.Good Luck to you.

Reply to Adding AutoHide Button to RocketDock in Docks WinCustomize Forums

[quote]RocketDock is an excellent program.[/quote] I didn't mean to imply there was anything wrong with it. I agree with you 100% Frogboy , it's just not as adaptable or as supported as OD. Wasn't Rocketdock made by self-admitted Apple fan? Perhaps someone on a Apple/Mac forum would know how to get Rocketdock to do what you need,Franky, or maybe someone here who uses both will read your post and can make you a RD "toggle-hide" docklet. Good Luck,either way Honestly though ,OD does

If you like Rocketdock, then you'll love ObjectDock. It has the feature you want and so much more. I tried RD,and honestly there is no comparison. I use the free version,no nag screens, no timed demo, no adware and it has [B]never[/B] failed in the 5 months I've used it.Also, the library of skins and icons for it is enormous. The paid version is even more adaptable. Give it a try. I don't think you'll be disappointed. Btw,you can install/run them both at the same time,OD has a tiny footprint, yo

I forgot to add,if My Colors(Diamond at least), was bundled into a U3 application if possible,would put Stardocks products into millions of pockets. It could come pre-loaded like the other software that comes on a Cruzer Micro or available as a download. Priced right,pretty, and portable too. Just a thought...

Reply to Some thoughts on Hyperdesk in OS Customization WinCustomize Forums

A very interesting and informative article. Very well written in plain language.I hope other newcomers take the time to read this. In my opinion, once My Colors gets rolling ,there will be no such thing as serious competition. Hyperdesk is a "new" app that won't work with Vista? It's already dead in the water, as far as I'm concerned. One thing though,are you saying Windowblinds is continually improved and updated, works on pretty much any currently used version of Windows,and hasn't gone up in

Reply to Cursor FX in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

unhappycamper88, I'm using and love CFX (free) and will get the paid version someday. This, in spite of the fact the control panel has locked up twice after installing older cursors and had to be uninstalled and re-installed. Perhaps that is what happened in your case as well.Someone should look into this, but it's wrong to condemn CFX,Stardock and the community at large because of it. Support, One request: Please,Please update the uninstaller,it leaves too much behind to make a clean re-install

I've been using YM v9.0.0.922(beta)for several months and have no problems at all with it conflicting with WB6 or MC. Version9 also comes with 7 skins and I've tried them all,and use both WB6 and YM daily. You may want to upgrade YM to version9, it has other improved features over version8 and is very stable. AVOID YM for Vista(beta) buggy as hell. :D
