Out of the loop & Window FX

from WinCustomize Forums

Hi All,  I've been out of the loop for some time now.  I visit the WinCustomize homepage daily but haven't used any Stardock products for a really long time.  Been looking at rebuilding my home PC and ObjectDesktop has peaked my interest again.

Does anyone still use Window FX?  I'm thinking this is the only option that I have to get some 'life' into XP (have had too many gripes with Vista and I want to keep this rebuild low budget).  I'm a bit wary because I don't see much activity in the forums concerning it (do a search for winfx, window fx, or windowfx and find 0 posts :S .

What are the opinions out there concerning Window FX?  Any, ahem, competition that I might check in to?

Glad to be back and looking forward to reading the replies.

COOL!!!  People are still downloading it!  I figured DesktopX had killed ObjectBar...

First off WindowsFX doesn't work with Vista, but then Vista is able to do a few of the WindowsFX tweaks.

I'm on an XP Home SP3 32 bit system and WindowsFX works nicely.  I don't know of another program that would do the same as WindowsFX, there maybe one.

Nope, DesktopX has not killed ObjectBar, in fact I use DX Themes, DX Gadgets/Widgets, Object Dock Plus and Object Bar on my desktop.  Yes there is some duplication but you can minimize the amount.  Oh, we left out Right Click.

I still use the WindowFX ! It is a favorite of mine. I don't know of any program similar to it. I wish I could do that type of work.
