I concur 100%. I know flat design is easy and universal. People like simplistic lately. I prefer the aero designs and bells and whistles.

[quote who="stardock15" reply="67" id="3584364"] How does one get "insider preview build 10525" that's mentioned somewhere in this WindowBlinds thread" (and, for that matter, how does one get on the list for any insider previews)? I'm keen to help Stardock test WindowBlinds for Windows 10 so as the help get it released earlier rather than later. It's the only non-Microsoft product in my "must have" list that is holding me back from upgrading to Windows 10.<br

With the release of the new insider preview build 10525 yesterday which is a build that is buggy as hell and has GUI changing features..... Build 10525 offers a couple of changes, but the biggest addition by far is the introduction of updated color options. If you want to change the default color for Start, Action Center, Taskbar, and Title bars, you can now do so easily. The new feature is potentially buggy, and disabled by default, but you can toggle it on by going to Settings >

I blew away my desktop and when i went and reinstalled Windowsblinds (Object Desktop). It told me i reached maximum activations. Could you reset the counter for me please.

Well according to there track record... We will use what Stardock would consider a bug free final version of ObjectDock 2.0. I would say 2nd or 3rd Quarter 2011.

[quote who="JcRabbit" reply="16" id="2690427"] Quoting anarkys, reply 15 Would you release a paid preview of your next generation software that was missing many features of your current version, had tons of known bugs and then make everyone wait 5-6+ months for an update? In a word, No. But, as I said elsewhere, businesswise it was a very smart move as it commited users to ObjectDock - with a high potential for seriou

[quote who="JcRabbit" reply="9" id="2688447"] Ok, in Stardock's defense, keep in mind Winstep is also a company smaller than Stardock, whose sole focus is Desktop Customization, and with a much smaller product portfollio. Even then, sometimes I also have trouble keeping up with support when I'm really busy finishing a new release, for instance. At times like those, all your attention and energy go into finishing that release and everything else becomes a 'distraction'

[quote who="DrJBHL"] As with so many issues, Wiz.... you and I see eye to eye. That's why WinstepExtreme is so attractive.... The dev is support, and he's a hell of a nice guy. The support folks at SD are as well...I just think they are swamped due to the issues you brought up and I just see them getting more and more burdened as issues develop due to not solving the 'old' problems. I hope I'm wrong. [/quote] I am also eyeballing WinstepExtreme and Nexus heavily.

Reply to ObjectDock 2.0 Beta Feedback in ObjectDock Stardock Forums

I stand corrected. I was counting months not weeks. We still have issues that need to be addressed. I love the new features of OD 2.0 but overall I feel this was an alpha release. Old features missing with no explanation why. No news on updates when asked several times in this thread. All we are asking for is news on a product we like and want to support other then we have no further information or no idea when we will address these issues.
