Reply to eh? Pay for Object Dock 2.0 Beta? Without even a new Feature list? in ObjectDock WinCustomize Forums

I figured there'd be some pushback on the pricing idea. I'm okay with it, I've had ObjectDock Plus for years and have been getting what I needed out of it. I'll be upgrading, but with a higher expectation for new and amazing features to set it aside as a brand new product rather than an update. The teaser screenshots so far have yet to blow me away, but I have faith in Stardock and I know once I see the program in action I'll be glad I got it. One last thing though, and I hate, hate,

Reply to Soundpackager crashes during startup while loading in SoundPackager Stardock Forums

Hey fellas, just got this fix from Curt at Stardock Support. Worked for me, hope it works for you. Try copying the wbocx.ocx file from the Impulse install directory into the SoundPackager one The file I found was called wbocx32.ocx, but worked all the same. Give it a shot, see if it works for you too.

Having issues here too, Windows 7, 64bit. Throws up a couple regsvr32.exe errors while installing, and then once installed the launch fails. Checked in my application log and the faulting module appears to be kernel32.dll. I cleaned it out and reinstalled, but seems the same. I'll keep it installed for now and keep an eye out for an update.

Reply to WindowBlinds 6 Beta Feedback in Stardock Support General Stardock Forums

I neglected to reboot between uninstalling Windowblinds 5 and installing 6, ended up with 6 prompting me to reboot every time I loaded it. So I uninstalled 6, rebooted, installed, rebooted, and it loaded but wouldn't apply skins. SO now I've uninstalled 6, rebooted, I'm installing 5 now, and will start the whole process over again, properly this time. 6 Looks sweet, guys. I can't wait to get er going

Can't be gone.. I think they're working on a new suite. Though I would so die for an update to the PixOS suite with new WB5 features

Reply to Under the hood of Vista graphics in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

Looks great, but in practice, it's slower than ever I installed 5308 yesterday, and it borders on unusable. Gotta tweak some things yet, of course, but it's not a great start. I sure hope they tighten it up by RTM time. I read this one article that was all 'no more artifacts on the desktop and blank windows thanks to the new engine!', though now it's just

Reply to making it rain in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

that's how I always envisioned natural desktop. I'd love rain, snow and fog on the entire screen. One thing I've always wanted was a single photorealistic wallpaper that gradually went from night to day and changed seasons and everything. Natural Desktop is a great start, but that kinda evolution to the concept would be awesome

Reply to Object Desktop Fall Preview in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

probably meant alt-tab. Man I can't wait for the new WindowsFX What I'd like to see is a GUI to easily create your own transitions, like the direction, amount of fade, shrink, and speed. Like Swish effects. Taskbar previes look wicked too. Bwaha!

Reply to ATI vs. nVidia in Video Cards WinCustomize Forums

I'm on my third Radeon (first was a 7500, then 9200SE, now 9600 AIW) and still see the cards as great workhorses. I don't have major problems when I come across a 'made for nVidia' game, but the whole idea that you can't get 100% compatibility without buying a card from each manufacturer kinda irks me. What is this, the 90s era browser wars?

Reply to IconX 1.10 in Stardock Support General WinCustomize Forums

getting iconX compatible with wallpaper switching would rule. What would be even cooler is somehow getting it to run in explorer windows, so all your icons can do cool scaling deal things.

Reply to Linux: Why you should care - Part 1 in OS Wars WinCustomize Forums

I'm running Linspire out of curiosity, and really enjoy it so far. It's great for a casual user, and can definitely replace windows for soccer moms the world over. As for myself, I still haven't figured out how to manually download, unpack and install programs, nor have I made sense out of the file system or command line console. Might have to do with the fact that I was brought up on DOS and can clearly visualize -what- I'm doing in windows. The selec
