Reply to WinCustomize to Expand into Mac & Linux Customization in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

An obvious April Fool's joke (text only custimization -ha ha). However, I think you are going to find more and more people, especially in the global market converting to Linux or Mac. I've already decided that my next computer will most likely be a Mac with a dual boot with Windows for occasional use for games and the rare Windows only app that I can't replace. If I go that route, my years of subscribing to OD and Wincustomize may come to an end. In any case, it might be worth thinking ab

Reply to SoundPackager Beta Released! in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Well, it looks like Sir Zubaz beat me to my suggestion. I think that sound packages in various music styles would be a real winner - classic jazz, smooth jazz, chill, techno, clssical, classic rock, alternative rock, etc. Of course, copyright issues would likely be encountered if using songs from artists.... I'd be willing to pay, say, in the $4.95 - $12.95 range for a well done and complete theme. In any case, kudos for another great Stardock program!

Reply to WindowBlinds 6 Beta Released in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Never mind about my previous message. I realized that the reason one can see the edge of the taskbar beneath the sidebar is due to the shading of the sidebar, not any problem with WB itself. It really does look odd with a light colored background however. Any chance for a sidebar background that is completely clear with no shading at all?

Reply to WindowBlinds 6 Beta Released in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Love it, especially the ability to adjust the transparency level. One comment though - with skins that have a taskbar that doesn't stretch the entire width of the screen (Diamond for example) - if the Vista sidebar is running on screen, you can see where the transparent end of the taskbar is beneath the sidebar. This has been an issue since vista came out, any plans to fix? The sidebar won't change here either after selecting the included one and clicking apply.

Reply to Is art worthless on the Internet? in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Glad you spoke up! I couldn't agree more with what you've said. I read the Blissful Sunset comment flames earlier today and couldn't believe how cheap people are. Creating good artwork takes a lot of time and effort, not to mention skill. The top skinners of the past have wound up putting little content out after a while as they move on to paying jobs skinning apps and sites for companies. As a community, we are not going to be able to get those who put out the best content to continue doing so

DreamScene release? in Windows Vista WinCustomize Forums

I see there are some new dreams on dream.wincustomize.com, but where is DreamScene. The other two initial ultimate extra's showed up in windows update/ultimate extras on the afternoon of the 29th for me. DreamScene has yet to come up for download as of this morning (the 31st). Do you folks have any insider info as to when it will come out?

Reply to A Special Gift for Wincustomize Subscribers! in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Thanks a second time, but on Vista, the beautiful WC lizard logo start button disappears except when moused over (in other words once clicked the first time after loading the skin, it no longer appears on the taskbar, but flickers in and out when moused over). I have not had this problem with other skins using the latest WB build. Is there any way to fix this?

WB for Vista Beta - When in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

Just wondering when to expect the WB for Vista beta to try out. Vista has gone RTM and is expected out next month. I don't think there are tons of changes from RC2, we could start testing it out on RC2 for now.

Reply to Alienware and Stardock Corporation Partner to Deliver Xenomorph Desktop in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Absolutely love the window and start menu animations, just stellar. The previous Alienware WindowBlinds were very "heavy" in style. This is really nice, much "lighter" with all the WB5 goodies. I have an Alienware laptop and it looks wonderful on it. I changed the wall to "Inovation" (available on alienware.com) - that combo goes really well also. Thank you to Alienware and to the skinners for sharing this one <img src="http://images.stardock.com/wc
