I've noticed that when I tell it run for pefromace, as opposed to appearnce, I don't see any dithering or anything... but on the really intense dreams, they do run better.... may be worth a try to lower the quality and see how it works out for you... the one that I

[quote]I get the animation now, but he's not breathing fire here. He just moves his head and stands there [/quote] I do believe that is the old version, that's all mine does... download the new one from the link above, and go into windowblinds and delete the old one before installing the new one... you should be fine then... glad I could be of assistance...

Reply to Dragon WB in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

unfortunatly with the trial version you can only use the included skins... but I do have somewhat of a solution, the dragon is also available as a mycolors theme... which means if you only want that one theme you don't have to buy windowblinds, you only have to buy the one theme... Mycolors themes are premium themes that you have to pay money for, and that's why it's not included... but if you did buy it will run on your system, even without windowblinds installed... ht

[quote]Ah, okay. I guess I read it too fast.[/quote] ahh yes... I was confusing... no diffence between XP dx9 and Vista DX10.. so I was suggesting sticking with XP... my system came with a 600w power supply... and I think I do understand the power adapter, it takes two of the 5.5 outlets, I'm assuming it combines them making a series electrical connection, as opposed to parrallell making it 11 volts... that's the only thing that makes sen

Reply to thinking about a new graphics card in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

I would just like to point out that I only have a single core 3.2 ghz intel, with 1 gig of ram, I added an 8800 gt graphics card, and pretty much everything runs... I've no issues.... but hey if you want my opinion use XP, direct 10 doesn't add enough over 9... I really haven't noticed a difference I upgraded, and don't really regret it, but don't really think I gained much either....

Reply to "Resistance is (blank)" in Community WinCustomize Forums

resistance is determined by a specific color code the first 2 stripes give a number, and the third a multiplier, and finally the fourth determines the tolerance... the given value is specified in ohms....

Reply to Transparent Background in IconDeveloper WinCustomize Forums

in general what you do is make your image as a transparent PNG, then import it into IconDeveloper, and that's it... all you have to do make the image transparent when you draw it. You can use "Magic Pink" as your color, and that will be pink when editing the image, but transparent when viewing the image. Understand?

[quote who="Deionychus" reply="8" id="1915367"]Having a full product on a 30 day trial is a bad idea. It only takes about 10 minutes to get round the 30 day limit...

as a matter of fact I have, and it runs fine... are you sure it's not something you're doing wrong? check your drivers and such, make sure they are up to date. And you are using the dreamscenes from Vista Ultimate, or are you running Deskscapes? There may be an update that addresses your specific problem, but believe me I've been running dreams since I upgraded to Vista and have had very few problems with them. And no Wincustomize doesn't have shares i

Reply to How do I get a refund? in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

I don't know if you know this, but you can download your programs from the settings window here on Wincustomize, on the homepage next your name there is a link called settings, click on it, then click the link that says registrations, and you can download your purchases. Without impulse, or SDC... but I believe you need one of the programs for Object Destkop, but windowblinds by itself, you can. (not that this helps you, but hope it helps someone)

Reply to Command line arguments? in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

you could try making batch files for those command line parameters, and that should suffice, just make it a text file, oh yeah when you are done you have to save the file with an extension of ".BAT" put the commands in the order you want to run them, you may want to look at some old dos help. because you can put each command into one file and using the "IF ERRORLEVEL" command you can you use the one batch file for each command... what do you think, does it sound plausible?
