SKS6 - couple of issues in Customization Software WinCustomize Forums

I have transfered all of my files over to my vista system from xp and started working on a skin that was in progress. two things have cropped up and was just wondering... 1. the text on my UIS2 frames is missing, per pixel frame text is okay. the frame tops have different footprints and they show up on my xp system??? (blue oval) 2. When I "apply" this skin via SKS6 the frames return partially missing or black??? (red oval) <img src="http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/84

[quote who="ALMonty" reply="8" id="2185865"]Impulse doesn't install updates on it's own. It will tell you when there is an update, but to install an update you have to click on "Install Update".[/quote] I installed impulse and it can be turned off so I'll leave it. when I first opened it up it did some updating without asking first but there does appear to be a setting that controls that function. okay, my sniveling about flash and impulse are now moot/mute as I have b

ah yes, the answer is that it will do no harm to uninstall impulse after I take what I purchased. I'll work with that. as to the rest, I don't allow any automated updates (avg is a problem that I haven't figured out how to notify only yet) and don't appreciate programs installing superfluous other programs (i.e. acrobat reader installs google toolbar???) my web surfing experience is not enhanced with flash and you know, I just like it my way and not what some company thinks I want as

just being stubborn, I know, but... in Stardock Support General WinCustomize Forums

recently I have purchased a new computer. when I downloaded SKS6 (free) and attempted to open it I was told that SKS6 required windowblinds for it to function. windowblinds is not a free program (my original version was) so I needed to shell out ducats to work the " free " SKS6 program. when I went to purchase windowblinds I figured that why not purchase the bundledset and get SKS6 pro for about half price. I read all of the data and didn't see anything about needi

[quote]Turn off firewalls and antiviral software. Download Impulse. Install it. Put in the email you ordered the software from. Close it and reopen. If the transaction went through Impulse should update with your registrations. If all's well the software should appear under the tab marked desktop. If not, don't despair. Wait for the confirmation email and turn your protection on again. When downloading with Impulse, make sure the protection is off. When done, turn it back on again.

[quote who="mickeko" reply="11" id="2177172"]Just a thought... Couldn't the renewal reminder include an option to archive all available apps? "You have n days left on your subscription. If you don't renew the subscription we suggest that you archive all applications for (re)installation later. [Archive] [Renew] [Remind me later] [Dismiss]" ... or something.[/quote] or nothing.

[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="12" id="2175537"]WB has always been 'pay for' software, the price? Worth it.[/quote] worth is not a question, spending money is. Seth, there are several WC programs that have a "free" aspect to them. skinstudio and cursor fx just to mention two. if you want the premium versions then you need to pony up. when I first got windowblinds there was no charge, now there is. not sniveling, just saying.

It's a pretty straightforward installation, and you will be able to access all updates and applications from there.[/quote] ID, think this is a yoda moment for ya; having never installed impulse I would have not had an opportunity to encounter difficulties. the hoops that I mention are things that I've complained about before. you all make changes that requi

[quote]Forgive me....I didn't understand your meaning.[/quote] Seth, I've avoided impulse so far as it relies heavily on flash. I have posted many comments on this in the past. Now, with a new computer, if I decide to download those programs that I have paid for I will need impulse to do so. (although I haven't attempted to access these programs via stardock update which at last check did not require impulse) So, I am at the fork in the road here with WC. do I continue and ins
