[quote who="andrew_" reply="8" id="1873302"]You should be aware, however, that choosing to disable flash and cookies will limit the functionality of all of the stardock websites. The forums rely on cookies and require flash to update your account images.[/quote] That's a darn shame. I have wincustomize as an exception on IE6 preferences but don't find the same abilities on Safari. Why are you dropping support, pray tell?

Even though I sent an email to support, I had to find out by off posting that stardock is no longer supporting IE6. IMHO, IE6 is the most stable, user controlled browser yet. Why, oh why, would you not support it??? I use IE6 for all of my serious browsing and Safari for my fluff browsing (youtube, tmz and other sites) where I wish to view flash content. IE7; used it and uninstalled it as it continuously cras

Okay, I'm impressed by all of the routing data, interesting to know you can do this, are we using a specific program to accomplish these traces?

Reply to frame question in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

I understand that you all are telling me that that is the way that it works. but a choice of using per pixel or not using it to overcome what one is attempting to do is not the answer. is it possible to code in pixel width/height for the frames to show when the window is maximized. if it can be done then why not make the effort. has there been an attempt to make this happen. I mean c'mon, do you both know for a fact that it can't be done. I have worked around "things" in SS only to find

frame question in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

when I make a frame, I make the whole frame. when a frame is maximized we lose the left/right/bottom portions. I heard that it is a glitch. is SD aware of this, can it be coded into WB to add frame size when maximized and/or can anything even be done???

Shelby, do you mean to increase the thingamabob with the whatchamacallit to make it a whomever? :) I think I understand what you're implying. It's like (with SS5), the logoff image is 256 colors. To overcome this I made and saved an image with the same file name in another directory and then moved it to the WB folder and had it overwrite the original thereby increasing the color count. I've asked Goldwing about this also but please continue to weigh in on this, I do want to un

How can I do this when WB6, or it could be SS6 or the interaction between these and XP won’t function as desired. Minimized window image is a good example. Transparency won’t work, it doesn’t matter if it is magic pink or a png/tga file, anything set for transparency comes out black. This image has to be a rectangle. I’m starting to p
