Reply to New WC Poll: Have You Downloaded Windows 7 RC? in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

[quote who="Quicksilver007" reply="3" id="2190713"]The real deal will be available between Aug-Sept of this year most of the Win 7 forums seems to agree on this time frame [/quote] Do you *really* think a forum agreeing on a timeframe makes it a fact? We can test that. Let us all agree on the fact that a beta release of the complete Object Desktop suite will be available for windows 7 by June-July... The challenge is *ON* :P

[quote who="Fuzzy Logic" reply="6" id="2191401"]Re #2 If I'd seen this page sooner, I would have noticed I have two concurrent OD subscriptions - April 2010 and May 2010. Duh![/quote] If you don't actually use 2 licenses for anything, you can mail your receipts to [email protected] and ask if they can merge the subs resulting in one sub with a later expiry date.

[quote who="superman" reply="19" id="2188038"]I think the size of pages is big too, may be due to graphics used or encryption or ads but its big. But if u visit cnet or softonic there are also ads but those sites load faster.[/quote] That can be explained too. They run their own ad server. I'm probably just spoilt with bandwidth, but I think that any page load that takes longer than a few seconds (say anything over 4 seconds) is too slow. :)

[quote who="Wizard1956" reply="11" id="2187686"]There is no such thing as a "Foolproof System" Fools are constantly evolving and as soon as a system is developed,a new kind of fool comes along.There's no way to stay far enough ahead of the fools to make it work. [/quote] Actually, fools are the one things that never evolve. They always remain the same. They manage to completely misunderstand anything thrown at them.

The cause of the worst delays when loading pages on pretty much all websites, not just Stardocks, are ads. They are fetched from outside servers which tend to have MASSIVE loads on them. And the problem is obviously worse on weekends. I would think that ads make up a fair bit of all the network traffic on the internet. It's not uncommon for a website to have 4-5 ads on a single page.

Reply to Some things I'd like to see for ObjectDock in ObjectDock WinCustomize Forums

Messiah, I assume Karmat means user selectable transparency for the icons. It could be achieved with just modifying the icons, but it's kind of cumbersome, specially if it doesn't end up right, and you need to "reopacitate" all the dock icons. I would like the entire dock to become more transparent if the mouse is not hovering it. And to make it even more tricky, the zoomer dock should adjust transparency on the icons the same way the zoom works. Thus put more transparency on icons th

Reply to TWiS Icon Contest in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

I'm not enough of an artist to make my idea look any good, so I'll just write it here.. Consider the idea "public domain", so if you like it, just draw it and enter the contest. If you use the idea, consider giving me a dash of karma. :P I'd make a winky that pulls down a zipper on the front of his own skin, revealing a t-shirt with the text "TWiS" printed on it underneath. Just for kicks his skin underneath could be leopard. ;)
