Only two items stopping me from a purchase... in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

There are only two issues that I've found with WindowBlinds that I really need to resolve before making a purchase... First of all (and I've posted this before), after installing WindowBlinds an applying any theme, I find that all my buttons are using Bold Tahoma 8 point font. In Outlook 2003 and Outlook Express, all my folders and message lists are also in Bold Tahoma 8 point. This makes finding unread messages very near impossible. I can go to the Display settings and use the

Reply to All system fonts turned to bold after uninstalling WB in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

No matter what I do, change WindowBlinds skin, alter ALL the fonts under the Advanced options, etc... My Outlook ALWAYS shows bold, Tahoma 8 point font. How can I revert my Outlook 2003 fonts back to Century Gothing 10 point??? I just noticed that the Window buttons also are 8 point Tahoma. The Advanced options don't allow for setting the font there. I also just noticed that if I modify my fonts on the Advanced options page, the changes are lost at the next reboot!!!<b

Reply to Getting the bugs out... in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

Just a question... I was just checking my Task Manager and added "Page Faults" to my column view. My PC has been booted for about 8 minutes and ObjectDock already shows 22,300 page faults, and climing by the hunders per second. I do see other programs also having many faults but ObjectDock has double faults of any other programs. Is this normal?

Reply to Hard Freezing on Setting Options in WindowFX Stardock Forums

I've tried both modes with no difference. Something odd I just noticed. I have my windows going transparent when I drag them, and that works fine. When the WindowFX Properties window crashes when testing a transition, the window is frozen. I can't drag it or anything. After a few seconds (10 to 20?) it looks like the window does a "restore" as though it was minimized. After than happens I can drag the window around but the controls in the window are dead. When draggin the window goes tr

Which version of Firefox? Any extensions installed in Firefox? How about themes? BTW, these forums are not for "official support". Of course I just scanned through the Stardock website and they don't have ANY official support path.

Reply to Window Transitions & Dragging Not Working in WindowFX Stardock Forums

Same issue here... I *CAN* use the "Make windows turn semi transparent" effect for Window Dragging. Any other affect here will freeze the window where the effect is happening. Same for Window Transitions. If I have ANY effect turned on here, it will freeze the window where that effect is happening. Nvidia 7600GT PCIe video card and latest drivers.

Count me in as well. The freezup occurs whenever you try to set a Window Dragging or Window Transition effect. FWIW, I'm on an nVidia 7600 PCIe card with the latest drivers.

Getting the bugs out... in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

I really want to drop some cash and pick up Object Desktop, but there seem to be soooo many unresolved bugs in the software. I also don't see any resolutions. With Vista on the horizon I can also imagine the amount of new bugs that will crop up. I've been trying out the Stardock software for many years and no matter how nice it looks, it's never been stable. Some examples... Objectdock v1.3: - About 75% of the time, at startup, Objectdock crashes and I get a d

Feature Request in ObjectDock Stardock Forums

I have my object dock at the top left corner of the screen. When windows creates an icon on my desktop, it is placed underneath of my dock. This makes it impossible to click on the icon. It would be great if Object Dock would not allow icons to be created underneath of docks.

I do now... So, does 1.3 fix this problem? Is there anyone out there actually using ObjectDock on Win XP x64?

ObjectDock + Windows XP 64bit... No System Tray icons? in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

Subject pretty much says it all... I've got Windows XP Pro 64 bit installed and ObjectDock is working well, EXCEPT that I can't get it to show icons from the System Tray. Are there plans to update ObjectDock? It's just about the most useful addon I can find for Windows.

Reply to Activation expiration in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

I think you're all missing the OP point... Buy OD today and install and activate it. Three months from now your computer crashes and you do a reformat and install of your OS, etc. - but don't install OD because you can't find the CD. Three years later you find the CD and install it on your PC, which is still running XP Pro SP2. After three years Stardock no longer provides the server/support desk to reactivate the software. You can't use the

How to thicken window borders on existing themes? in SkinStudio Stardock Forums

There are several WindowBlinds skins that I like to use, but most have VERY slim borders. This makes it a real pain in the butt to resize windows when there is no grabber. I've got SkinStudio 4.6 installed. I've tried doubling the width of the left and right border BMPs and the height of the bottom border BMP with no luck. Is there a simple way to make the window borders
