Reply to MyColors changed my icons, can't get them back in Stardock Support General WinCustomize Forums

[quote]I have asked this question many times in the past and still get the same problem whenever I try to apply icon packs from stardock products. I no longer try to use icon packs at all but luckily you can change the settings in MyColors so that you can choose what parts of a theme activate when you apply it. Or you can install the theme and then apply just the skin from WindowBlinds if you have it.[/quote] Why do you no longer use Icon Packs? What problem do you have?

Reply to MyColors changed my icons, can't get them back in Stardock Support General WinCustomize Forums

[quote]Hey there.I recenlty bought Sins over digital download, and got access to somes bonus material, such as a Sins theme for MyColors. I decided (stupidly) to give it a try, as i'm a big fan of the game.While the theme was good, i still prefer the original aero theme, so i chenged the theme back to vista aero (in MyColors).Almost everything went back to normal.The folder icons, though, didn't change back to the original. What's funny is that when the folder is empty, it looks like a normal

Reply to What comes first, 64-bit apps or 64-bit OS? in OS Wars WinCustomize Forums

The real problem is a businss problem, not a technical problem. It works like this. The 64-bit OS comes out. If no one migrates to the 64-bit OS, then people writing the software look at their user base and think, "why should I spend the company's time and money developing a 64-bit version of a particular piece of software when most of my consumers are perfectly happy with the 32-bit version." So as a result the people writing the software wait until there is "crit

[quote]Alright - so what is the answer here: Is Impulse still in beta (as this forum subgroup and thread seem to indicate)?

[quote]I wasn't disappointed, I was terrified. It locked my system up solid. I thought my rig was a goner. I finally got it to respond, and uninstalled it. Even that didn't work correctly. I spent the better part of my morning manually rooting out the various files that it installed, and even now I'm not sure that I got them all. God knows what it did to my registry. Sorting through that will be this evening's project. If this is the future, then the future is a screaming, frustrating hell.I'

[quote]There's a bug with Impulse not recognizing the GalCiv2 expansions because it seems that SDC is not putting all the key values in place for them. If you are handy with the registry, you can manually fix it by following what I said in reply #5 here.I've mentioned it in various threads around the Stardock forums, but it seems that Stardock has yet to come up with a fix to get those registry key values inserted.As to why Impulse locked your machine up, I can't be certain.
