Reply to Darken Background Windows breaks Windows 10 Task View in WindowFX Stardock Forums

I did the reinstall as instructed - reinstall was successful but the problem with TaskView reappeared as soon as I activated the 'darken background windows' feature just as before.

Darken Background Windows breaks Windows 10 Task View in WindowFX Stardock Forums

M$ really dorked up the window borders and other customization features of Windows 8. Even in Windows 95 we could adjust the window border colors, change fonts etc. The constant grey borders of background windows in Windows 8 is driving me batty, and if I choose a dark color for foreground windows I can't see the text. What were they thinking?! And they did it at the last minute for the RTM. The prereleases had transparency and looked clean. To be hones

Reply to Upgraded Lately? in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

I've been building my own systems for years and upgrading OS's and components as desired. But THEN I got a new Dell laptop and the damn thing does everything my tower did and I can carry it anywhere I need. Now is the first time I've seen affordable laptops that can replace desktop systems. Fast, dual monitors, DVD, etc. This geek is geeked!
