ObjectMedia is a media player, but as far as I know, you have to have WindowBlinds, DesktopX, or ObjectBar configured to control it. I'm not sure if it works with ObjectDock since I've never used ObjectDock. But from everything I've read, ObjectMedia is not a stand-alone application. It's main advantage is that it has a small footprint and enables you to control the player through a WB skin, DX object, or ObjectBar which have been configured with media controls. <A HREF="https:

Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you, but my Internet Service Provider decided to take an unscheduled leave of absence. I have just downloaded the skin, and the good news is that I don't think there is anything wrong with your WindowBlinds program, because I am seeing the same problem here. Actually, I am seeing a whole lot of problems with this skin. The bad news is that I've opened it up in SkinStudio, but I haven't yet found the cause of this particular problem. I'll keep

Just wanted to remind you that it is a holiday weekend, and T-man may not see your post right away. You might also try emailing him. You can find his email address by clicking on the "About" link under "Options" over there in the left column. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/sb.gif" border=0 ALIGN="absmi

A couple of questions. Does the button show up when you hover over it with your cursor? Or if you click on the button (or where it is supposed to be)? Does the window close if you click in that area? In the meantime, You might try a couple of things. Change skins and then reload this one. Unload Windowblinds and reload it. You might even try a reboot of your computer. If that doesn't work, let us know and we can try some other things. By the way, what version of WB are you running? <BR

By the way, my post above was not intended as some kind of slam at you guys. It was not even directed at you in particular. It's just that lately I've seen a lot of bad advice given on the boards, some of it even potentially dangerous advice. Please don't take it personally. It's obvious that you guys are sincerely trying to help. Something in Journeyman's last post just triggered the thought process, and I got the urge to speak my piece. And now I really will shut up. <img src="http:/

You could try adjusting the size of the grid. Right click on any empty spot on your desktop. Click Properties, and then click the Appearance tab. If you have WindowBlinds loaded, you will have to click on the "Other advanced controls" button. Next click the Advanced button and you should find yourself in the "Advanced Appearances" window. Click on the pull-down window under "Item" and "Icon spacing (Horizontal)". Note there is also an "Icon spacing (Vertical)" too. Click on the size arrows to

I guess my take on things is kind of like the physician's creed - "First, do no harm." To extend this analogy a bit, the first thing any physician will do is assess the situation and only take steps necessary to stabilize the situation and prevent further harm to the patient. In this case, from what we know, the "patient" has a problem which is annoying but not life threatening. Recommending immediate "surgery" on the registry is not something I would offer right off the bat. The next s

I hesitate to suggest the obvious, but have you considered booting into safe mode first and logging on as the administrator? Then you could check to see what your actual settings are and change them if necessary. Just a suggestion. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/sb.gif" border=0 ALIGN="absmiddle" ALT="Power

I don''t want to interfere here, but I have a question and perhaps a suggestion, depending on the answer. Kona, if your ATI 9600 is an AGP card, does your motherboard use a non-Intel based chipset? The reason that I ask is that I just went through this myself, and found out the hard way that I needed to update the AGP Drivers from the MOBO manufacturer BEFORE installing my ATI 9600. Mine reacted in a very similar fashion to what you describe until I reset everything and started over by installin

Then I suggest you take a look at MikeB314's skin StealthOS http://www.guiolympics.com/skins2004.asp?library=27&searchtext=StealthOS&sort=date&order=Descending This skin has white text for both Normal and Hover states on the All Programs text.

Have a caps lock key? Press it again, please. Typing in all capital letters is considered to be impolite. When you downloaded the skins, to where on your computer did you download them? Do this, check in your C:\Program Files\Stardock\Object Desktop\Windowblinds folder. All of the skins you have loaded into WindowBlinds will be in there. If there are only 19 folders, then those are the only ones loaded into WB. As for the others, try running a search for all files and folders using *.wb

Both Twain and Lincoln have been attributed with the quote. Who is quoting whom has never actually been resolved as far as I know. From my reading, both were quoted in newspapers of the time, but the earliest version I've found was in the New York Times, November 17, 1863 attributed to Abraham Lincoln. If you do a Google search for the quotation, you'll find it also attributed to Confucius, Samuel Johnson, Albert Einstein, Groucho Marx, and even the book of Proverbs from the Bible. <img src="ht

No. The toolbar icons in Windows Explorer and Internet Explorer can only be changed with WindowBlinds. Icon Packager has nothing to do with it. You can change the toolbar icons through the WB Configuration dialogue though. Just open WB Config, and click on My Toolbars. You'll find it under Settings, right under My Skins, on the left side of the window. <A HREF="https://www.wincustomize.com

WindowBlinds cannot change the color of the text of the favorites menu. Nothing you do in SkinStudio will change that. Windows handles the Favorites in a different manner than it does the other menus. Until Stardock figures out a way to skin it, you can't change it in SkinStudio. Sorry. As for the All Programs text color question, I'm a bit confused. You say you want the hover color white, too. Do you mean the text hover color or the hover color for the Menu-Highlighted Background? If y
