Outstanding job on the reveiw and thanks for the mention.I use vista so if I spot anything "strange" I'll let you know.Btw, Kitty Malones stuff is awesome but the dark look is ruined (for me anyway) by magic pink on her earlier work : Keep up the good work. :CONGRAT: p.s. Did you try intoxik8ed by Night Train? Looks/works good and it's [B]very[/B] green.

Those annoying surveys!!! in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

We've all seen them, so how about an online survey by Stardock of it's products and services?It seems like a good way to get honest, constructive,positive (I would hope) feedback. Things like accessability for people with disabilities,functionality,installation,sales,support,ease of use,reliability,overall satisfaction,etc. I would think that both long-time and new users like myself could provide some data that could be useful in future product and service improvements. I'm

Reply to How to cleanly remove all traces of Windows Blinds 6 (both in registry and filesystem) after uninstall and rebooting. in Stardock Support General WinCustomize Forums

"I'm pretty anal about leaving traces of it in my registry and file system." Eusing Free Registry Cleaner.Goes so deep into your registry,you'll have to come up for air! I only use it to root out orphans after an un-install, it finds everything. Not for the faint of heart.Use at your own risk.I've also gotten into the habit of creating a restore point daily and before any system change.Much easier than going through all this,you can always delete them later.

Reply to Rare high contrast Skin request in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

My eyes are shot too, but I suspect a perfect balance throughout the entire skin is getting harder and harder to find,as more elements are skinned and hardware and software changes. Besides, wulfn1, it gives us a good excuse to use some of the great work from days gone by. :d I.R.Brainiac, your work speaks for itself. Light,dark, somewhere in-between ,you are an innovator and a true Master.Thanks for sharing them. :CONGRAT: :CONGRAT:

Reply to WindowBlinds 6.1 beta thread in Stardock Support General Stardock Forums

I just ran the update 6.09g.137 for WB6, showing in SDC and Impulse, through SDC. The result..wiped out WB6. I had to do a system restore to get it back. I unchecked pre-release on SDC but not Impulse,but wanted to try the beta anyway. Everything works now,but the update contained my missing explorer backgrounds. Those sure would be nice to have back.Please help. [Edit: just updated through Impulse, everything works,case closed]

Reply to Transparency terminates after some time with WB6 on Vista in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

I've had that flashing around my start button for over a month now, it's quite noticable with dark desktops/skins as it's pure white on mine. no trigger event, just comes and goes. Seemed to show up after one update or another.No other known problems with WB6.May be an unrelated issue as I run a HP PC, nVidia 6150SE, Vista Home Basic with no aero. I did mention it to support,I just try to ignore it. A separate thread may be a good idea just to see if others see it too.

Reply to Why do I have to buy a subscription to maintain full functionality of my Object Desktop, Windowblinds,etc? in Object Desktop WinCustomize Forums

I have e-mailed sales twice during business hours and 5 hours later,no reply. I even checked in junk,spam,etc. All I need are a few answers before I happily send Stardock some money. I guess my question now is "Who's minding the store?" Should I try again tomorrow or wait for a reply? Kinda takes the impulsiveness out of Impulse, but I can wait. (:(

Reply to Magic Water in Humor Stardock Forums

This is one of the reasons I dislike "fast food" restaurants, have you seen what some of THOSE employees do with their hands and your food. I'd rather eat out of my cats' food dish.:P

Home Basic = Demo version I suppose.I'm ok with it's limitations. I really don't know any better. :p I will be getting ODNT tomorrow regardless, Deskscapes or no.I'm sure I will have enough to try to learn to keep me busy. I never watch movies on this pc anyway. I've got a widescreen hi-def TV, a dvd player and a dvd recorder so I don't want to spend money on extras I won't or can't use.Btw, Bebi, you put a link in the forums(old post) to a stack docklet and I just want to say Thank You very
