Reply to Blog: Bloated IE, AveDesk, & Docks in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

You're running a lot of instances of IE. But naturally, IE is load heavy, which is ashame because people mistakenly think it's their system causing things to run sluggish, when it's just a poorly designed program. Firefox with its tabbed interface allows the extensibility of viewing multiple websites in one instance of the program, as opposed to three or four instances of IE to view as many different websites. I've taken a screenshot of my Firefox browser with three tabs open: http://ju

Reply to Spider-Man Desktop Released! in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Wow, fans know no bounds, heh. I think this is great for the skin developers, though, I'm not sure I know anyone other than my 13 year old cousin that might be interested in using this skin. He's not really into the skinning or customization of windows, but he might like having Spiderman on his desktop. I don't think the screenshot does the skin suite much justice, it's very cluttered and not well organized / spaced out. That Spiderman branded internet services is kinda creepy though, heh.

I love my country, yes I do. in Blogging JoeUser Forums

A recent post in neom's latest poll caused me to ponder on an issue that I've been tossing back and forth in my conscious mind for a while, until now. Here's a transcribed version of my inner most thought on the issues of Americanism, Nationalism and Opinionism( sic ). I like to tout myself as a fairly independant minded i

Reply to ObjectDock Plus arrives on Friday! in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

I thoroughly understand and respect development and supporting developers of the products/services I use, which is why I own a copy of ObjectDesktop, I donate to nearly every website I'm a member of, and I donate blood, heh. OD was always marketed as a purchasable product or rather, set of products. I also understand the differences between shareware and freeware. Perhaps an article needs to be penned outlining developer ethics and distinguishing between freeware and shareware and distributed to

Rather than reposting, I'll just link to it: http://draginol.joeuser.com/articleComments.asp?AID=20541 Hopefully, that can be my last post on this issue for awhile. To those who mentioned "Now that there is a plus version, suddenly it should be part of it (ObjectDesktop)?" You're correct, however, ObjectDock wasn't purchasable until now either. I was content when all that was available was the freeware version because it was readily available to everyone. Now a decission has been made t

Reply to Object Desktop - the world's best software bundle deal! in OS Customization JoeUser Forums

Brad, I've already made my views on this available here: https://www.wincustomize.com/newsBoard.asp?ID=2518 However, I would just like to add that the main crux of my displeasure is that ObjectDock (the product in question) was first marketed as a freeware application (like CursorXP). With that perception, Stardock put out a shareware version and made the price of what once used to be a free application (I know the free version still exists,

I feel sorry for anyone that would pay $15 for a product that is available for free and should come free to those who have already dropped $50 for ODNT. That's my complaint, plain and simple. Do not assume that I can not afford it. I just can't let myself be drawn into what is obviously a foolish purchase. I mean really, an addon tool with the size and function of ObjectDock? I wouldn't pay more that $5.00 and it should have lifetime updates.

I ranted about this issue in my frequent IRC channel, but I think it's better suited here. This isn't a rant in the sense that I have some selfish agenda to accomplsih, but a legitimate concern with this product having a price for ObjectDesktop users. I apologize in advance for the grammatical errors, but this was a brain-dump into an IRC channel and reads as such. The only editing done was to tone down language for posting in this public forum.

The deviantART Community? in Welcome JoeUser Forums

"The Community" (including deviantART as a site within the 'art/design/skin' community), is much larger than I've noticed some people like to give credit to. The statement is true that deviantART encapsulates a community all its own, like a bundled software package for your new computer system. As a new user, just beginning to explore the vast community known as "Art & Des

I am definitely looking forward to WB4. Don't put it out unless it's REALLY ready though. I just saw an example of the skinned explorer side panel. Damn it looks sexy. Whelp, yeah... *waits patiently*

Reply to 34interactive selling out...it's dejavu all over again! in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

There are a lot of "sticky" issues when multiple people put money towards a single entity. There would need to be some organized purchase of the Skinz_org package. Trust me, if a group of people get together and pull money together, there will be some clash of who owns what, what they're going to do with it, etc.. I really don't see a group purchase thing happening, if some poeple do pull it off, I don't think enough money could be gathered in such short time. But we can always hope. <img src="

Who knows, maybe something can be done to preserve what is and once was. I've been following closely, the discussion of the current/future state of skinz_org in the deviantART article and I must say, a lot of people still have a positive outlook on things. That's definitely a good sign. I know one of the bidders thus far is part of the community and would want nothing more than to see the proliferation of the community. I say more power to them, and anyone else within the community who places a
