[quote who="Uvah" reply="17" id="3583142"] Went all over the screen edges and no bar popped up. [/quote] Ross you will not get the bar that way. You need to double click the XWidget icon in the tray to get the bottom bar to popup.

By the way if you want to get to the actual xwidget gallery at deviantart do not type xwidget in the search box to get to it. When you use the search you get everything related to xwidget including screenshots and a bunch of other junk. The best and easiest way is to find a widget you like and save it in your favorites. When you open it you will see in the title of the widget the location which looks like this, <a class="h" href="http://www.

"If I can get the skinning bug back, I plan to try. Wish WC had a gallery for it." Well with sysmetrix and desktopx going the way of the dodo there should be an alternative. There is a rainmeter gallery but not everyone uses rainmeter and it is harder to skin than xwidget, (well not really but more code involved). I don't know why there could not be a xwidget gallery here. It would only serve to bring more people to the site. Varity is a good thing.

Are you kidding me Uvah. There is a huge gallery at deviant art, mind you have to scroll through a lot to weed out the crap but there are some good widgets there. You might like the actual xwidget site gallery better because it has less of the crappy skins. http://www.kuyuapp.com/xwidget/ PM me your email addy and I will send you the guide.

[quote who="Uvah" reply="5" id="3582681"] I wonder why Xymantix (don't know his name) doesn't update it. Has he abandoned it? It would seem that way. Last update was like three years ago. I really like it but perhaps its time to move on. I'm going to look into xwidget and rainmeter. Both have much more in the way of options and they're skinnable. [/quote] His name is Nick Decker and yes he has abandoned it. I actually was the one who got him to

Sysmetrix still works to some degree but there is a lot outdated about it that will never receive updates. Last I used it the weather was still working but sysmetrix weather was never great. Only supports 1 processor and all the motherboard options do not work. Email is limited too. Skinning it is easy but having to use a bitmap for the background sucks. It is good software but without updates I won't be using it any longer. I now use xwidget because it offers more options.&nbsp

This might sound strange and I am not sure this will work but sign in with a local account instead of your Microsoft account and then try it. If you cannot even create shortcuts than there is something else going on besides just an OD problem. Sounds like there are ownership issues and sometimes even running as administrator wont resolve it. I was having some issue after I installed 10 and using a local account resolved them. Unless you absolutely need the sync functions with t

XxrkylexX when you purchase software of any kind most only allows you for free updates for a period of time (usually one year) I do not know if that is the case with Individual Stardock products because I always purchase an Object Desktop subscription. With the subscription you get updates for a year. It is no different than buying software such as antivirus software, you get updates for a year and after that you need to renew. If you have purchased Object Desktop and it h

I thought this must be a normal thing because I get emails all the time from Stardock and I do not have any boxes checked in my email preferences. I got one today as a matter of fact. It really does not bother me. I could mark it as spam but choose not to because I am afraid I will miss out on important future emails. The funny thing is I am still waiting for the robo calls and spam from other sites such as PayPal which I have not even opt out of.

Well I guess we will just have to agree to disagree. That bling is not totally useless, it does provide some degree of diagnostics but even if it did not I still like the looks of it. If someone just wants something to play mp3's they can choose xion, it does the trick but I find it boring. The other issue which is more important is sound. I have used just about every media player a person can download and I find foobar2000 to be the best sounding player period. Not sure I

That is why the operating system is called windows. The player can be minimalized so how does that interfere with anything? Not only can it be minimalized it can also be resized or put into mini mode. Your comment is not justifiable, only justifiable to you but many would agree and disagree so I call stalemate unless you wish to keep debating this which I have no problem with.

As pointless as your statement. It must kill you to keep things positive. If ""equalizers and all other bling" was pointless why do millions of people use them including professional studios? Sound shaping/editing has a purpose. Perhaps some of the eye candy is not needed for the home users but if someone likes the appearance than it serves a purpose. People skin their computers and what is the point? It certainly does not make the hardware run better. They do it because they like h

[quote who="DaveRI" reply="71" id="3575081"] I'm more interested in it using the currently loaded WB theme, which it seems to do extremely well. I've run it through about a dozen skins, including several of those notoriously dark ones that tend to expose the mismatching of dark text to dark backgrounds or light text to light backgrounds, and it's held up great - seems to skin right across the board. It does work better if the WB skin is applied before opening foob

If you can find foobar ,fth theme files they are the way to go. fth files are self installers. The majority of skins you find involve copying and replacing files. The theme I did in the screenshot I have as an fth file so if you want it let me know.

Well this is an old thread however winamp might be officially dead. The site has been dead since the takeover. I never thought that I would leave winamp but I now use Foobar2000. It is not as user friendly as other players but you sure can do lots with it if you want more than just a basic player, Here is how I have mine set up. It would look even better if I was able to run WindowBlinds. <img src="http://i1261.photobucket.com/albums/ii593/canuckken/foobar%20shot_1.jpg" alt="" width="

[quote who="alaknebs" reply="9" id="3574447"] didn't i read that there's no add-on, no nothing. just bare basics? [/quote] Well it certainly is bare basics but you think the developers would have at least gave a better right click menu so you can at least save pictures. That is one reason why I find it faster though because there are no add-ons. Things like add blocker plus and so on slow things down a bit.

Two things that suck about Edge, (there are more). Compare the 2 screenshots. Internet Explorer has a much better right click menu. This is especially important if you want to save a picture to your computer. With Edge I have yet to figure out how to save an image unless it is accomplished via screenshot. You cannot right click on a picture and save it or set is as wallpaper. The other thing is plugin in support. For example I like that I can translate a page of a different language with
