Reply to Desktop Fences is identified as a virus in Fences Stardock Forums

Without a doubt, our IT department has tightened the noose on what can and can't have admin rights. Heck, I can't even install ObjectDock.

Reply to Desktop Fences is identified as a virus in Fences Stardock Forums

Some day, someone will Google this problem and stumble across this thread. For the record: The reason our IT department has disallowed Fences is that software of this nature needs system level access in order to run. This is the new 'red line' that was implemented between a year ago and now. Just a heads' up. I was also unable to download my miniMIZE software for the same reason.

I'll just have to wait. Have there been any recent updates to Fences ? I was downloading it via the Stardock website since it's a purchase attached to my account.

Desktop Fences is identified as a virus in Fences Stardock Forums

Greetings everyone. I've been using Fences for years now. Sadly, my PC blew up and I'm painstakingly reinstalling things. This is why I was shocked to see the following error when I attempted to download the program after logging into my account: What's worse is that I'm not permitted to install the thing sin

Reply to Tiles Beta Feedback Thread in Stardock Support General Stardock Forums

Thanks for the response. I have confirmed that MS Office 2010 is previewable in Tiles. I'm sure they'll fix the shortcut issue in a future revision. In the mean time, I've created a shortcut for the program, but it lives in the actual " Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Office/Office14/ " folder itself (because I don't want titles like EXCEL.EXE in the Tiles list). However, when I drag either the EXE or the shortcut into the Ti

Reply to Tiles Beta Feedback Thread in Stardock Support General WinCustomize Forums

Love it so far. However, my MS Office apps aren't showing in Preview Mode. I've tried adding from a separate shortcut and from the menubar as well. No dice. Oh, and I'm on Win7 64bit

Wow, I'm positively thick to have missed the size options. Thanks, Dog! It's nice to have that feedback thread too; I appreciate the quick response.

Reply to Stardock’s Tiles reimagines the Windows task metaphor in Personal Computing Stardock Forums

Previously, I've shied away from many of Stardock's customization tools because the results look gaudy and require an immense investment of time to configure. Now, like Fences, I'm warming up to Tiles . It's got a straightforward and slick finish and more reasonably matches the way I do work, which is to work in different groups of apps. Anyway, a few questions, since I can't figure out where to post them: Is there an appropriate te

Reply to ObjectBar : Every button opens on startup in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

Hi Neil, Thanks for the follow up. I am using ObjectBar on Windows XP (everything's up to date). Gah: I have had to completely disable this thing. It brings my computer to a complete halt. :(

ObjectBar : Every button opens on startup in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

Every single time ObjectBar starts up, it opens every single button-entry and sub-menu, grinding my computer to a screeching halt until I kill ObjectBar.exe in the task manager. I haven't installed any new software, this just started happening a few weeks ago. Previously, I was able to patiently close every damned thing until I starts working normally, now I cannot. Even if I start the program manually (I figured there was something startup related) this happens. I would love a soluti

Reply to It works on one login but not the other in DeskScapes Stardock Forums

I can't find a way to download it a second time. When I go into Impulse on my wife's account, it shows as already installed. If I uninstall and then reinstall things, won't I just break it on my primary account? By the way, thanks to both of you for addressing this ridiculously fast. It is very appreciated.

Reply to It works on one login but not the other in DeskScapes Stardock Forums

That could very well be. I will have to give my wife Admin access to see how that works. Thanks! EDIT: Sadly, this didn't do anything. I gave my wife Admin privileges, logged her out and then logged back in and found the same problem. Any other thoughts?

It works on one login but not the other in DeskScapes Stardock Forums

It must like me better or something. Deskscapes works just fine under my login (which is where the install originated), however, when I swap over to my wife's account and attempt to run it, the main app window looks odd. Instead of the tabs running along the bottom (Backgrounds, Background Settings, and Effects) along with the stuff within them, there is only the Backgrounds tab and it doesn't include any of the installed stuff to boot. Any help would be greatly apprec

This issue is mostly resolved. It happened for a while, then I rebooted and it hasn't happened since...

Reply to Discolored Icons in my ObjectBar in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

Thanks for the help, guys. Lantec's answer worked for me. Thanks so much! It's nice to be using a program that plays nicely with PNG files, since that's my preferred format for imagework. Once I opened the PNG, then saved the ICO from IconDeveloper , I had no problem at all. I can cut Photoshop right out of the equation.

Reply to Removing Gadgets from a Theme in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

I figured the problem out. It turns out that the gadgets are loaded from the Start Menu, which (for some reason) I spaced out on checking. After removing them, the problem has stopped.

Discolored Icons in my ObjectBar in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

I have created some 22x22 icons, first in Fireworks, where they are exported as GIF's with an alpha channel (so non-colored elements won't be rendered). This GIF is then taken into Photoshop where I save it as an ICO file. Then, I use this ICO file in my objectbar elements, wherein they appear miscolored as in the example below: The letter images

Thanks Zubaz. I will do that upon my next reboot.

Reply to Documentation & Tutorials in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

Hi Bichur, Thanks for the response. I'm just looking for a general overview that let's me drill down into the functionality of each element. With software like this, I find one of my biggest problems is knowing what program handles what . I'm sure I'll get back into the swing of it, but there are so many subprograms that it feels overwhelming. I will look at the links you have provided (thank you, btw), then hopefully I will have a better handle on things. I was just h

Reply to SD Virtual Desktops and Outlook 2003 in SD Virtual Desktops Stardock Forums

This is an old thread, but I gotta chime in because I'm having this strange problem with my copy of Outlook 2007. It would appear that subsequent versions of Outlook have not caused the problem to go away. Are there any thoughts?

Reply to Removing Gadgets from a Theme in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

Sorry about that. I see it listed under "Applications" (within the theme manager). It is called Aero Midnight . Only now have I also noticed that, in addition to the stated problem, my Windows-Circle-button-thingie isn't skinned at all. I've also got another thread wherein I'm trying to find some detailed documentation so I don't need to pester you folks when I know an answer is in a PDF.

Documentation & Tutorials in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

I have searched through the tech-support section of Stardock, but am perplexed that I can't find any thorough PDF instructions. Am I a total fool? I'm sure there has to be documentation for this software, but I'm not finding it.

Removing Gadgets from a Theme in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

Greetings all, It's been a few years since my last subscription to Object Desktop, but now that my employer was willing to cover the cost, I'm all over the customization-fun. Recently, I installed an Aero variant . The theme is great - dark, clean, and not big & blocky. However, upon bootup, I also get three gadgets that pop-up which I manually disable. Is there any way that I can remove these gadgets. For that matter, are there any straightforward instruct

Reply to Windowblinds Configuration window display issue in Object Desktop JoeUser Forums

After a reboot, my DF menu seems to be working just fine. Apparantly, making the changes to the exceptions is one step, but a reboot may be required to ensure that it holds.

Reply to Windowblinds Configuration window display issue in Object Desktop JoeUser Forums

I see that this is an old topic, but I have only recently renewed my Object Desktop subscription and found that Direct Folders won't come up. For the last two years I have been using Direct Folders and can confirm that - yes - double clicking on an open spot on the desktop will indeed open the DF-menu. In addition to that functionality failing to work, though, I also cannot get the DF-menu to open when I double click inside an active Windows explorer window. I have added exception
