Where do I install icons from WinCustomize for OD+? in Docks WinCustomize Forums

Hi - I've downloaded some png files which contain icons ( https://www.wincustomize.com/explore/objectdock/15208/ ) I've tried installing them into C:\Program Files (x86)\Stardock\ObjectDock Plus\Bundled Images\Applications & C:\Program Files (x86)\Stardock\ObjectDock Plus\Bundled Images\Misc Icons. When I choose to edit the icon for a OD+ icon, these new ones do not appear as choices. <p

7.3 b 310 - not registered in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

I needed 7.3 b 310 for a new skin. The only way I found it was to get the demo version. GameSpot wouldn't update further than b 309... Can I get my software key into this demo version? Dan

Reply to Windowblinds allows choosing Vista styles on XP system in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

[quote who="Bichur" reply="2" id="2330753"]i don't think it works that way there is no difference in a wba for xp or wba for vista [/quote] If there is no difference, then why are there different styles named xxxXP and xxxVista? And why do [at least] three Vista styles not work [systray empty in single row] in my XP system? TS

Reply to systray icons don't display in single row in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

I found the problem to be WB allows the selection of Vista (only) styles to be selected on an XP system. The new interface is less obvious about the styles available. Overall I like the new interface. Dan

Windowblinds allows choosing Vista styles on XP system in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

I had a problem where the systray icons didn't display in a single row. I later determined that the skin defaulted to a Vista style when enabled. Shouldn't WB be smart enough as to allow only the selection of styles which will work with the current OS?

systray icons don't display in single row in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

Windowblinds version = 7 build 75 x86. When I have the taskbar/systray size set to one row tall, the icons in the systray are invisible. This has happened with three diferent skins. Rebooting does not clear the problem. This has occurred since the last update came out. I'm running an fully updated WinXP SP3. Dan Screenshot:

I've found a work-around. If one does a "Select All", from firefox's Edit menu (after the page loads), then most of the text will be hi-lighted and this makes it much easier to see all the too-dark-to-see elements. It's surprising whats on these pages!? What would really be helpful would be a greasemonkey script... Thanks, DD

[quote who="Mumblefratz" reply="2" id="1882536"]Actually you need to mention the website that you're refering to because Stardock has 11 forum websites and 2 "blog" webistes and most if not all can post to the shared Off-topic program.

I 've been reading this forum for a couple of weeks and everytime I start I need to crack the brightness up to 100 on my monitor, just to be able to read many parts. Today I found that there were page number jumps under each topic. I only found them by the tool-tip that popped up while I hovered the mouse close to them. I realize that your looking for a unique, good-looking style; but this style hides a lot of content. Can you offer an alternate version that can be read at normal scre

Reply to Policies which hamper good communications in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

You sent in multiple emails for multiple problems to a company that gets tons upon tons of emails in a day (how much I am not sure but I bet it is a lot). 4 different emails for 4 different problems seems like a huge mess to me and I for one do not blame them at all for combining that. Well...like I said I have been in this business for a while and one bug per bug report is pretty much the standard in this industry. Many bug tracking software system

Policies which hamper good communications in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

I have had many issues with Stardock Support not replying to my emails. It has pissed me off and I have vented in here before. I decided after the last fiasco in this forum, to resubmit my problems via email and see if conditions were any better. I am only intending to discuss what I see as communication problems here; this thread is not about the specific problems. On Feb 23, 25, 27 & 28 I emailed support with 4 unique problems (all for OD+.) The emails I sent on the 27th and 28th did

Reply to WB 5.5 change skin color in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

You entered a RGB colour. WB took this and converted into HSL form. Then WB took the Hue part and used that to colour the skin. OK, I understand what your trying to convey. Now please try to understand what I'm trying to say. Having access to those RGB values allowed me to use those values with other programs to achieve a matching set. You are removing this simplicity and compatibility with your change. The ironic part is it probably took some

Reply to WB 5.5 change skin color in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

Dan Dunn: You seem to have misunderstood my post. All versions of WB5 have only used the hue. Which means you have 100% of what you previously had. Well, I changed my skin earlier this week (before the latest update of WB.) I remember opening VAD_M's SD Desktop Navigator, reading the rgb values from my new wallpaper and then poking those three values into the color control panel from the previous (before yesterday's update) version of wb. I also rememb

Reply to WB 5.5 change skin color in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

Using a combination of Hue, Saturation and Gamma, I find I have all the colours available to me... Saturation is also available on the Custom Color Selector (CCS). And it is very possible that your color depth is such that a choice of 46K colors (closest higher power of two is 64K or 16bit color) would be all that is available to you. I have available 24 bits (and more) which allows me the previously mentioned minimum of 16.8M co

Reply to WB 5.5 change skin color in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

the colouring system only uses the hue value. Of which there are only 360 possible values. OK, thats a little better. 16.8M / 360 = 46,666 color jumps; or .277% of what was previously available. But it's still less than 1%. Dan Dunn
