Virtual Desktops + Desktop Icons

You might be better off asking a specific question. There really isn't an awful lot to Virtual Desktops. Are you having trouble with it? PC 

I just found out I can't configure SVD - that option is greyed out.

Huh! Well, mine works o.k. You aren't using a hack are ya?  

No, but I've been called one.



Weird everything is now underlining while I type.
Even font and size in the boxes have underlines when I place my cursor in the comment box, but the disappear when I move my mouse out.

Well, I just want to use it and never get a chance even to configure it. What it does is making 4 (four) items in the toolbar and thats it. to configure it is grayed out. What does a geniuos use as a working substitute (substitute to SD Virtual Desktops, I mean). Thanks and cheers, walt in trouble

I can't get it to show up in the toobars manu. It's installed and I follow the instructions shown when I try to run it. But nothing shows in the toolbars. I'm running Windows XP Pro 64 bit. But then again, I'm having problems with several Stardock programs. I'm a recent purchaser and been kinda overwelmed with all the features. I can't find documentation on ObjectDock, Bootskin, (can't get it to work either) nor loginstudio. (Can't get it to work) Does anyone have a suggestion? Ron

the thing was greyed out for me to, but then i realised i hadn't installed something in SDC

sorry, just testing the new forum features

It's a little bit annoying. Can't anybody from SD give me a real good substitute for Virtual Desktops which also works with SD stuff like blinds, suites etc. - those are really great. Any tip is more than welcome. Muchos grazias, walt in trouble

I just loaded up Control center (which incorporates Virtual Desktop) and all seems well.
Try installing that and report back.

Also, if you need a reply form Stardock, this is not the best place to post. This si a community forums that's frequented by Stardockians.

Many thanks, Zubaz. Great help. I guess, I clicked over thousand SD programs but missed that one. Here, on my latest update it's hidden under ObjectBar and stupid me, I was always looking in the binder called "virtual desktops". Hmmm, getting older isn't always a benefit. On the other hand, I am happy with almost all from SD (except games, which I dont use). Well, well, a little bit of structure wouldn't hurt here. Solong and many thanks again. Will keep me busy for a while. walt out of troubles.

Yes, Control Center works nice, but SVD configure should not be greyed out.

I used to use it, prior to my crash and the subsequent updates.
Unless Tominated comes back with more info, I see if I can figure what needs to also be installed (I haven't installed it all).

There were past posts on this, but I haven't found them yet.

The new release is out - and I like it a lot! It fixed the annoying interference with some of my SysStats docklets in OD+ when changing desktops - woot!

All in all a good day given the latest development in this thread https://www.wincustomize.com/browser/forums.aspx?AID=120536

I need to reboot to be sure but SDC threw two errors while installing SVD:


The above was the URL when I uploaded to my WC photo album . . if it doesn't show the image you can see it here: http://awk.wincustomize.com/photos.aspx?a=2&p=1&view=full

Zubaz,

I had the same error installing on my laptop, I found that if you put your email address and OD serial into the activation dialog that shows up, it'll activate correctly.

Looks like there might still be a bug or two in the program.

I had to put my email and odnt into WFX yesterday.

Downloading yesterday's SVD now....

Which version of SDC are you trying?

teaguer

Bootskins doens't work for everyone.  Something about BIOS.  There's a couple of versions at the Bootskin page. https://www.stardock.com/products/bootskin/
Object Dock free or Plus?  Corky O has some tutorials here: http://corkyo.wincustomize.com/articles.aspx

Logon Studio has a tutorial in the folder.
Plus, it won't work on a domain and I think you need fast user switching enabled.

Back on topic:

SVD 1.99g[b].007 dtd 6/22/2006

Had to slap my scanner (it thinks all updates involve it's drivers)
Had to activate with email/odnt

But.....   configure is back! 

Uff, I have now tried Virtual Desktop but I still have some troubles:
- I have to start ObjectBar and ObjectDoc and after a while the ControlCenter with
VD, Clock (not analog) and other configurable items pops up.
- the way to config CC is rather different to the doc in SD (actually not a problem,
except there are features described I dont find in real-life)

- big issue is: how do I create/store/place Desktop-Icons on the VirtualDesktops.
(drag+drop didnt work). Maybe I am totally wrong in the meaning, that I not only
can have different wallpapers but also different desktop icons on the VD.

- How does a profi start the ControlCenter ?

Many thanks for your help and have a nice weekend, walt

also different desktop icons on the VD.

don't think so.  at least, I haven't found a way.
