Reply to Why install all over my computer? in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

Short answer is That's the convention that needs to be followed to be blessed by MicroSoft. That's because it provides the ability to have multiple users on a single computer and allow them all to read/create/change some data files (the "Public" dir), while providing some protection opportunity for the program files (the "Program" dir), and while maintaining some user-specific settings (like what skin each is using) (the "Users" dirs) with some privacy and protection b

Reply to screen doesn't refresh in ObjectDock WinCustomize Forums

Is the dock itself fully transparent or did you make it transparent using the OD config transparency setting? If you used the OD config setting, try setting that transparency all the way back to "Opaque" on the right side of the slider to see if that fixes it.

Reply to DesktopX 4 Beta Bug reports in OS Customization WinCustomize Forums

With the gadget I see the image that was up at close (landscape or abstract) pop up for about a quarter of a second when it starts up, then it immediately flips back to the original flower. In case it has anything to do with it, immediately after I close the gadget I consistently get the "Unknown Publisher / Are you sure you want to run this software" dialog that XP puts out when starting an exe, the

Reply to DesktopX 4 Beta Bug reports in OS Customization WinCustomize Forums

I'm on DTXStandard so I can't export to gadgets (I guess I can say that lockout is working). I exported it as a widget and it does retain the last image setting but I know that's not what you were asking. It would have to already be a gadget before I can check that.

Reply to Colorized Presets inaccesable in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

I see that the wbo files can be renamed to a txt file, opened up and they look like any other ini files. So the good news is the settings remain there in an easily accessible format. I was hoping to have some brilliant idea of how to get them applied within WB7 but like the dog that caught the car, I have no idea what to do with it. Maybe helpful, maybe not.

Reply to windowblinds corrupted? in Stardock Support General WinCustomize Forums

You know as I think about this it might be worth a shot to try just applying the default Windows skin and reboot once to see if it clears out the problem. After that you'd have to manually launch Windowblinds once to load a skin, it shouldn't autostart the first time but it should after you've loaded it back up. But ya if you can get a newer version that would be good.

[quote]I am not totally clueless but are you saying that if I use Add/Remove programs and uninstall WindowBlinds that XP will automatically (and presumably) revert to the default skins?

But, if you do decide to uninstall Windowblinds at any point even temporarily, before you uninstall WindowBlinds go into WindowBlinds Configuration and

I really don't believe you needed to buy Windowblinds or Icon Packager. I believe if you downloaded and installed MyColors from here: https://www.stardock.com/products/mycolors/downloads.asp and purchased the Dragon theme from here: https://www.stardock.com/products/mycolors/gallery.asp?p=dragon&c=

[quote who="BrandyCamstra" reply="2" id="2514274"]I thought you didn't need that to run themes. And that mycolors took care of all of that. [/quote] That is my understanding as well, at least in terms of seperately puchasing Windowblinds. If you have Impulse installed, open it up and right click on the MyColors icon, and select "Verify installation". It should then tell you whether if it is installed correctly or if you need to update/reinstall it.

Reply to My compliments!!! in MyColors WinCustomize Forums

LaraVan it looks like you might be able to get it from HP. I did a search of their support site for "MyColors" and found some MyColors downloads with Win7 listed, maybe just the program though. I'm not linking any here because I don't want to point you to the wrong place. Anyway it looks like if you poke around on their site or shoot them a request they might be able to fix you up? http://welcome.hp.c
