Reply to Problem with loggin onto stardock and activating MyColors in MyColors WinCustomize Forums

It's been quite awhile since I've messed with MyColors, but as I remember there is no activation key for the program itself, the program is free and they used to charge for the themes (other than a few free ones). If you are trying to install a purchased theme, you would install MyColors and then install the theme (I don't remember if they came as .exe files or zips or whatever) and then enter the key for that theme within MyColors (seems like they used to register on their

Just some thoughts: Video drivers can make a huge difference with dreams if you want to check those. Video encoding is an enormously taxing process no matter what machine you've got. Some dreams are mpg's, some are wmvs, very few are "hybrid" or "dynamic" (non-video programs). Wmv's tend to be the most taxing, followed by mpg's, then hybrids and dynamics. You might try to single out which types might be working better for you.

I think it's at least an improvement over suing individuals for ridiculous amounts that will never get paid. Otherwise, like Uvah, I've really got other things to worry about. Does seem like another step towards policing the internet, that seems to be how freedoms are lost - chip, chip, chip away one little detail at a time, each detail seeming like a good idea by itself and then suddenly "poof". I do have to support a person's (group's) right to stop people

Reply to I really miss.... in OS Customization WinCustomize Forums

Funny you should mention that, I've had Elan loaded up for a couple of days now. I think that was an ODSubBonus skin, but ya the same type of thing. On the other hand, I really like the less expensive WC subscription rate, I was at the point of thinking hard about the higher rate. So that's a good tradeoff to me, I can use the extra $ to pick and choose MasterSkins and Premiums if I like, after the grocery store has had a good sale on wieners. [e digicons]:)[/e]

I don't mind the occasional word-swap like their/there/they're, heck I do it myself sometimes, kind of a mental typo. But if I have to run a post through my friggin' magic decoder ring to try to make any sense of it, well, I'm not going to bother.

Reply to Liability, Hackers, Security and losing faith in the System: What’s The Answer? in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

I too imagine it is mainly a matter of money. One thing to remember - When companies pour money into anything, either by choice or as the result of a lawsuit, they build those costs into their product and the consumer pays for it. So when we all say "Companies should put more money into xxxx", what we're really saying is "We want companies to put more money into xxxx and we want to pay for it". (Same thing when we talk about what the governments should be doing.) <p

Reply to Graphics stretching that aren't supposed to in ObjectDock WinCustomize Forums

I don't know how it is supposed to look but I would guess it's margin issues. If it is supposed to be a solid thin line across the top, similar to the way it is towards the left and right of the top, I would guess that the sum of the left and right margins (e.g., Left 40 and right 20 = 60) is too big for the source image and one of them needs to be a little smaller. If it's supposed to have a gap in it, then I'd guess the left margin needs to be bigger. S
