Reply to Vista RC2 Coming This Friday in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

I seem to be one of the few people that have had no driver issues with Vista. I installed the beta to a secondary hard drive, and booted into Vista. It searched for drivers and found them all. About 8-10 I think. Some for gamepads, my camera, my audio, mouse, keyboard, and I think some others I wasn't sure what they were for. Do most people install the Vista Beta/RC's over top of their WinXP OS, or on a partition/secondary drive?

Reply to .PNG Alpha Blending in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

If you still have the .psd from photoshop, just hide the background layer (click the little eyeball in the layers panel) and then simply save as a .png. If you don't have the .psd and only have the single layer image, you can still get rid of the white background. Just open the image in photoshop, and double click the layer in the layers panel. Then a little box pops up, just click okay and the layer will no longer be a locked background. Now select the white background with the magic w

Reply to Vista RC2 Coming This Friday in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

I had a 3.8 I think for the Beta right before RC1. I use nVidia GeForce FX 5200, 1 GB Ram... umm its not a horrible computer, and its pretty good. I'll try out RC2 this Friday and hope it works lol. I have 3 DVD's left and I plan to use them to backup other data, so virtual drives are nice. Just 4 (almost 3) more days to go until I can test this sucker out <img src="http://images.stardock.com/wc/smiles/Smile.gif" border=0 ALIGN="a

Reply to Vista RC2 Coming This Friday in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

I hope my computer can handle RC2. RC1 refused to install. All the betas worked flawlessly. Also, you can download the .iso's and mount them on a virtual drive instead of buring to DVD's/ordering. It's legal, and you can do it free with Deamon tools. Deamon tools kinda sucks... but its free. Alcohol 120% is payware, but much better .

I've also had this (Firefox 1.5.0.7... whatever the newest version is ). It rarly happens (once a week or so, and I am on the site maybe a total of 2-3 hours thruout the day each day). I just cancel the request for a name and pass, and then try the link again, and it works. Interesting tho... I thought it was just me

Reply to Skinning and MSN in Beginners WinCustomize Forums

Can you be more specific? - What version of MSN are you using? - What version of WB are you using? Posting the WB stats can help. - Is your MSN messenger patched? Or are there any plugins?

Reply to Please come in...thx in IconPackager WinCustomize Forums

He wants to do this WITHOUT icon packager... And as far as I know, its only possible if you reshack the .dll file that contains the icons. It is in the System32 folder I think.. but I can't remember the name, sorry . Shell32.dll pops into my head, but that may not be it. Be careful if you reshack stuff like this >_>.

Reply to Xion... A new skinnable media player in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Downloaded fine, installed fine, loaded fine, audio quality = no difference. To me, foobar and Xion sound the exact same. I have replygain, and a bunch of configured settings in foobar however. But all that configuration is a given if you plan to use foobar... Out of the box, Xion is pretty nice . It uses almost 20 MB of memory for me tho <img src="http://im

Reply to Request for a "dunkin' donuts" skin for windowblinds 5 in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

I wish I could skin, cause I have some cool ideas for this. - Minimize/Maximize/Exit buttons could be 3 different kinds of donut. - Loading icon in explorer could be a donut that slowing spins while being eaten. - Sprinkles on the taskbar and window frames. Along with glaze. - Start menu could be a coffee cup with a half donut dunked in and a straw. The sounds of this skin make me hungry <img src="http://images.stardock.com/wc/smiles/Sad.gif" border=0 ALIGN="abs

Reply to Tell us what you'd like to see in Object Desktop in Wish Lists WinCustomize Forums

Rightclick is part of OD correct? If it is... I have always wanted the ability to edit OTHER rightclick menus and not just the desktop one. I have some nice ideas on how to go about this to make it smooth and simple. Also have more cross program interaction. WB on Vista already skins "extra" parts of the system by using other sections of the windowblind skin. OB2 can copy your taskbar image and use it for its own bars. Stuff like that for widgets or object dock would be pretty

Reply to O.k., so.......... in Windows Vista WinCustomize Forums

A good philosophy is to let those at the 'bleeding edge' suffer all the failures and iron out the bugs before jumping on the bandwagon. Makes sense Agreed. Altho, Vista runs sooo much better on this computer than XP does (no idea why... XP seems to use a hell of a lot more memory than Vista does <img src="http://images.stardock.com/wc/smiles/Ew.

Reply to How do I use Object Dock in New Users WinCustomize Forums

Quite simply. Unzip the MAKO dock onto your desktop. Now there should be a folder with a bunch of images in it. Take that folder, and paste it here: C:\Program Files\Stardock\ObjectDock\Backgrounds Reload OD, and it should be selectable in your list of docks . EDIT: Upon downloading the dock, I noticed it had 4 folders. Paste all 4 into that directory, and they are all selecta

Reply to Power DVD , Objectdock, and Nvidia in ObjectDock WinCustomize Forums

I can confirm the WMP issue. I never use WMP, so its not really a problem for me however. The issue still occurs without OD running... so it may not be the problem. PowerDVD works fine with and without OD running, so I'm not sure whats going on there. I just set up a quick tabbed dock to test, nothing elaborate. My system is WinXP SP2, P4 3.6GHz, 1 GB Ram, Nvidia FX 5200, one monitor, and I was running just WMP/PowerDVD, OD and firefox.

Reply to Microsoft DRM to Become More Restrictive in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

What is this "buying music" you are all refering to ? Not to make DRM even worse, but if they really wanted to keep it purly for the buyer (that the right word?) they should have burn protection. So it strictly can't be burnt onto the CD. Or have it unplayable by another source... or when ripped you get a bogus file. I'll stick to limewire <img sr

Reply to ObjectBar 2.0 Released! in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

I just installed the trial, and came across a bug/problem. I currently have the Buuf WB skin installed, but when I set my bar to use the current windowblinds skin, it uses the XP blue. I have it set to use the taskbar image. I have tried a bunch of settings, but no luck yet... all XP blue stuff. Am I missing something? Does this not work with WB5? Not the newest WB5 (its only version 5.0 or something...)? Some help?
