If you play BF2

from Stardock Forums
All,

If you play BF2 and you actually game and want to enhance your desktop..... I will code it within the next few weeks .....these guys are not doing anything different or innovative they are copying on Microsoft's themes  Plus as long as you can import a UxTheme you can do the same thing I am actuually am asking for my money back because it is so RETARDEDLY easy to do if you know how to program its childish....The icon manager same thing....photoshop has it..........so I would say save your money and go with something that doesnt change your environment (ie. gaming) and yes if you run BF2 or any of the EA games it is effected because these ass' change the shell and when EA games have a change the shell themselves for enhanced play they loose the hook ....so any programmers out there who know what they are talking about stay away from DesktopX suite.....COD 4 does not have this problem....a word of advice ....stick with the constant...as a gamer as a developer I dont trust anyone who does not test their games.......

You're ranting. Making little sense, and not really backing up your claims with anything.
Don't be offended if anyone assumes you're an idiot.

Also, I might add, the Msstyles format is based off Windowblinds 2. So it's the other way around.

Wow ... a member for a whole two days before making a post like this. I'm sure that was plenty of time to test products and try to work out any problems you may have been having before resorting to this. :p

Well instead of searching around you decided to play the uninformed mook card?... well played.

Open up Windowblinds and go to Settings > Change the look of an app, from here select the games EXE and click the option to exclude it from being skinned. It's an issue with Punkbuster, not WB.

I play COD4, BF2, 2142 and Crysis... all these games use Punkbuster and I have NO issues whatsoever. Though your name does tell me a lot about you, Evolve indeed.

I have approx 80 games and demos installed....and run WB with no issues at all.

I ALSO actually do not run the Windows Explorer shell....and STILL have zero issues.  Some Game interfaces call on Explorer for menus, etc. but again....no problems.

Anyone using WB 'should' have no dramas with games...and suggesting the uxtheme.dll patched service is trouble-free....wait till the next MS Service Pack....

....and enjoy....;)
