Reply to Skinning Fences in Fences WinCustomize Forums

May I suggest a thing about the skinning bit? Why do I ask? Maybe I should just do it? Why all these questions?.... Here goes: Would be great if you made fences compatible with objectdock zoomed and tabbed dock skins. All the necessary configurability is there, and we'll have tons of already available skins to choose from. Also, with a configurable path for the skins, we only need a single directory for objectdock and fences skins. :)

BumpTop is interesting, I'm running the beta. It's definetely smoother running than Real Desktop. They both look cool, but imho Stardock Fences does more for the desktop than all that 3D stuff... Here's another "BumpTop" video , it quite accurately reflects some of the feel I get from using it. :D

That's just crap. I'll not be surprised if we see ONLY the starter edition for OEM, and then MS will take a hefty charge to "upgrade" it to something useful. There are 2 logical editions of any OS needed. Home and Business. Everything else is just milking as much cash out of the consumers as possible.

This is a feature incomplete beta version, I don't think anyone know what the finished product will look like or what it will do... Imho it's a brilliant piece of software already, I wouldn't want to do without it. Personally I think it should be fully integrated with Objectdock plus (Yes, Object DOCK, NOT Object Desktop). Creating "new dock, new tabbed dock and new fence" from the "My Docks" window make perfect sense. And it would make objectdock plus have a
