Well, I use WinCustomize enough that I'd say this new model will probably move me to get a subscription. I don't think I could live with just 50mb of total content download.

Reply to Lacking Libraries in WinCustomize Site Issues WinCustomize Forums

I'm glad I'm not alone here. I have only ever gotten approval for ObjectDock icons, and I have about a dozen in the WinCustomize database. However, when clicking on "My Skins", the "ObjectDock" library does not show up in my drop-down menu. Therefore, I cannot see the stats on all my icons. This has just occurred recently. I would appreciate it if the site admins could look into this issue. It is very frustrating. <img src="http://ima

Valve's Steam systray menu nonfuctional in ObjectDock WinCustomize Forums

I'm running ObjectDock 1.1 Plus with a dedicated System Tray dock. When I right-click Valve's Steam system tray icon on this dock, its popup menu appears and then disappears immediately. I have to use Ctrl-Alt-Dlt to close Steam. If anyone has an idea about how to fix this, please let me know. Otherwise I hope it will be fixed in a later release. Aside from this I am quite satisfied with OD. <img src="http://images3.stardock.com/wc/smiles/Smil

Fixed the problem. I had to replace the file and then register it using "regsvr32 \windows\system32\COMDLG32.OCX".

Reply to Reappearing Volume control systray icon in ObjectDock WinCustomize Forums

Grrr, nevermind... The volume icon reappeared after I came out of Hibernate this morning. So the problem still exists.

Reply to Reappearing Volume control systray icon in ObjectDock WinCustomize Forums

Hmm, well it seems the problem has fixed itself after another system restart. I can't explain it whatsoever, but I guess more than one restart is necessary. Oh well, I'm happy regardless.

So you have no idea why this is happening?

Reappearing Volume control systray icon in ObjectDock WinCustomize Forums

I'm using ObjectDock 1.1 and I have a dedicated System Tray dock. Upon system restarts and hibernate/resume, the Volume Control systray icon always appears there, even though I have the option for it unchecked in Volume Properties. To remove it I have to go into Volume Properties, enable the systray icon, and then disable it to make it go away. Any idea why this is happening?

Reply to WindowBlinds 4.4 reduces WindowFX performance in Stardock Software WinCustomize Forums

Heh, ok I realized the performance drop was not due to WB 4.4, but rather the Anti-Aliasing setting for my graphics card. Consider this issue moot.

WindowBlinds 4.4 reduces WindowFX performance in Stardock Software WinCustomize Forums

I just installed WindowBlinds 4.4 to get the benefits of the latest version of the Longhorn Slate 4051 theme. Before, I was running WindowBlinds 4.2 with WindowFX 2.11 and all WindowFX animations and transitions were running at a high FPS on my 9500 Pro. Now after installing WB 4.4, all the animations run at 1-2 FPS with all the same WindowFX settings. I'm positive WB 4.4 is to blame. Has anyone else experienced this problem and if so what can be done about it? Thanks in advance.

Converting Mac OS X icons to Windows .ICO in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

For those of you who've envied the incredible beauty, high quality, and great selection of Mac OS X Dockbar icons on www.xicons.com , I have put together an article that outlines how to unpack and convert the icons for personal use with ObjectDock. You can find all the information here: http://www.upforums.com/themerge/Article-1.htm You will need Stuffit 7.5 and IconWorkshop (5.01 or later). The shareware versions will do.
