Reply to After WB update cacls.exe runs in cmd window in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

heh.. I think this startled quite a few people. When I updated IP and WB today I saw two of the cacls.exe windows appearing. I noticed alot of file and foldernames where flying down the list and that instantly alerted me thinking I was hit by some worm or virus. I was about to try to stop it when I noticed it was crawling my IP and WB directory. Thinking this was something related to the SD updated I let my guard down a little, but didn't feel complete

Reply to Piracy and Unconventional Wisdom in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

If Windows XP Professional were available for say $50.00 bucks a pop the pirated copies would be halved overnight! $50 for an operating system? I can't say I share your point of view there. An operating system is such an complex piece of software, how can you expect it to be priced similar to an application?

Reply to Firefox Menu Problem in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

Supposedly, FF fonts are hard-coded (as I've read here) I think you can change most (if not all) of the Firefox UI by editing one of it's XML files. Or perhaps stylesheet. Don't think it's hardcoded into the sourcecode it self. http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/edit#css

*bump* I just came across this issue my self when working on a skin. I was testing it so see how it looked, but got trubble with Firefox. All the menues appeared as a small thin line and my bookmark toolbar buttons disappeared. When I removed the entires for "Fonts for Classic Widgets" it worked fine again.

Looks like a happy marriage of WIN-FX and WB Indeed it does. That reminds me, I've never figured out how to define a WFX shadow in WB. WFX got an option "Use shadows defined by current WindowBlinds skin". Anyone?

I guess you could call it the "circle of evil" Developement slowing down - users loosing interest - developement slowing even more down because of that - users loosing even more interest - developement slowing even more etc etc. So I guess we can't put the blame on the dev-team only. Same thing ha

Maybe you should rephrase that to "Haven't come across anything similar for Windows." as you get that using Konqueror under Linux. Heh, you got me there. <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center bgColor=#FF

Not sure really. Don't know how the weather docklet works. If it get's the info from the http protocol then it's port 80. But if that was closed on your firewall then you wouldn't be able to browse this site, it would block anything trying to access websites. Perhaps the SD support can help. [email protected]

This is one of the coolest features added to WB for a while. I have to try it out on one of my skins lying around. There is one that I really will benefit from it.

Reply to Danish Wheather? in ObjectDock WinCustomize Forums

I'm not sure how it obtain the data really. Is there anything that allows you to permit the http protocol? Or open port 80 for OD+? I think I allowed OD+ full access, don't see it doing much harm. What firewall do you use?

Reply to Ping/Server Status widget in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

That checks if your own computer is connected to the internet, but it doesn't ping any other machines. Page number 35 in the scripting guide explains how to use System.InternetConnected and System.Ping. I haven't tried to ping a spesific port, but you might try to append it to the URL after a colon. like "www.wincustomize.com:80". If the builtin DesktopX Ping doesn't work for you you might be able to use the INet ActiveX/COM control.</font

I thought that WC wouldn't have a MSStyle section because msstyles are all based on hacked Microsoft versions... I'd quite like to see an Aston Shell section here. I tried it a couple of years ago, but not any more. I settled with SD products like DX instead. But there is many very nice themes out there and I htink that the more creative inspiration we get, the better.

Is it the desktop wallpaper you are refering to when you say your background disappear? If so, load up DesktopX Builder, if you have it, and open the Settings window, then click on the "Wallpaper" button. That lets you remove the wallpaper DX applies.

Does the wbload.exe process contain all the GUI elements in the memory it uses? Or is it contained in another process? 500-700Kb of memory seem very little considering the amount of different graphics used to draw the system. I'm curious to how WB works.
