Reply to ObjectDockPlus for Windows 7 in ObjectDock WinCustomize Forums

[quote who="inc0gnito" reply="15" id="2425524"] I'll be upgrading my Win 7 32-bit to 64-bit and I'm not looking forward to how OD+ is going to behave. [/quote] As a start menu replacement, OD+ is currently useless on W7 64bit (or any other 64 bit OS really). It's still a good tabbed application launcher. It does look bad that after more than a year, the dock STILL comes with broken docklets though... I can't figure out why the weather docklet is still i

[quote]I'm not going to bother with the carbon footprint. With an 1100W PSU, I don't want to look in case it scares me...[/quote] The power consumption of your computer is determined by how much your hardware actually use, it has nothing to do with how much your PSU can supply. Unless you have some insane hardware hooked up to that PSU it'll likely never even hit 50% of those 1100W.

[quote who="starkers" reply="33" id="2420092"] I ran across one article that said FF3.5 may be a cause. I didn't have FF installed at the time of my explorer hiccup. Thing is, it hasn't had indigestion since pulling the data disc, so I'm taking it that that was the problem. The other issue I've noticed is my internet connection sometimes doesn't start up at login... gotta go to 'network' and start it manually. Another weird thing.... while I temporarily h

Thinking further, it would be even better if the shortcut would disable the mouse pointer entirely, thus prevent clicking too.

Feature request: Hide cursor. in CursorFX Stardock Forums

A keyboard/mouse button shortcut to hide the cursor would be quite handy. :)

Reply to Can't change cursor appearance in CursorFX Stardock Forums

You need to double apply themes for some weird reason. First apply removes the current cursor.

Thanks for the comments. I'll upload some original photo walls too, it probably looks less dull to anyone who's not as familiar with Stockholm as I am. After all, (IMHO) it's the best picture I managed to get with the camera I had back then, it's worth it. :P

Reply to Win 7 UAC is driving me crazy in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

It prevents crap from installing, and it does it well. The ONLY thing crap about it is that software are allowed to request privileges, bringing up that annoying prompt. IMHO, UAC should always deny any elevation requests unless explicitly instructed otherwise by the user.

Suppose I can just put this screen here too, as it's my current one. It's "just" subsecret recolored and texturized for a "natural" look to match the wall. The tarsier just rocks! :)
