You have to buy Start 10 in order to skin the start menu with WB10.

[quote who="Fahmine" reply="25" id="3630709"] I paid the asking price because of GalCiv and Sins. I pine away for a new Sins, but so far Ashes looks great. I'd pay the $50 again and still buy DLC if I must. I'll take whatever you guys are throwing as freebies of course, but I don't mind paying for good entertainment at all. I only have maybe 12 hours in, but that makes Ashes cost less than a movie per hour. movie - 15 / 2 hrs / 7.50/h

I checked it out. It seems OK. Nothing really special enough to make me want to use it as my main browser. The overall look is too Win 10-ish for my taste, but I suppose if it gets popular, someone will make a "skin" to change that.

You really shouldn't need to reward early adopters. Unless a gamer has been living under a rock for the past few years, they are aware that buying a game after release will be more expensive than waiting for the next Steam sale. It's a conscience decision made by the consumer, and by making the purchase, they are acknowledging the pricing reality. No one is twisting their arm to buy the game sooner rather than later. It is not SD's responsibility to effectively sub

Assuming this is true, Apple lost the opportunity to "control the narrative" in terms of unlocking the phone. If they had helped, they could have kept the method "in house" and under their control.

I feel that GCII is a more engaging game than GCIII as well. I've never been able to pin point why, but I think a reasonable comparison is that GCII is to GCIII as CivIV is to Civ V.

It's a dumb AI. A parrot. A good example of lazy programming.

Neil and Zuba, thanks for your replies. I purchased Start 10 and just about everything is working fine. I would like to bring up one of my original issues as an FYI to WB skin makers. It seems that many skins will cause the grid section of Excel 2016 (and I believe Word too) to change from it's standard white background to one of the colors used by the skin. (see link in reply #2) I believe I've discovered the cause of this (from a non tech, end

I rarely watch TV except for the news. It's hard to find a show that's engaging. After the X-files and Fringe, it feels like it's all been done before, aliens, gov't conspiracies and cover ups, technology used for some nefarious purpose, genetic engineering, super soldiers, biblical prophecies, ancient advanced civilizations, eldritch abominations, unobtainium this, applied phlebotinum that, etc. Same old same old recycled ideas.

Ok, so I figured out why WB10 crashes when I try to skin the start menu. Apparently, you need to buy Start 10 in order to skin it. If I recall, previous versions of WB didn't require the purchase of a 2nd program to make it fully featured. Yea, it's only $5, but I think SD should have been more up-front about it. Also, I can completely understand WB not being able to skin every 3rd party program out there, but it should be able to skin ALL Microsoft pro

So, I went into Settings/Per application and selected Add. T Then I browsed to the Excel.exe and selected it. When a workbook was open, the title bar wasn't skinned with the skin I had selected in Styles. Instead, the grid area had been "skinned" with the main color of the skin. Add Edit: I tried a few more skins , and nothing changed in Excel. On a side note: When I try to create/Edit a texture for the Start menu, WB c

[quote who="Island Dog" reply="16" id="3625937"] This would be a paid upgrade unless you purchased recently or have an active Object Desktop membership. https://www.stardock.com/products/windowblinds/download.asp#upgrade [/quote] OK, thanks for the info!

[quote who="Island Dog" reply="14" id="3625915"] Quoting cardinalsyn_25, reply 12 I have another question.. how come the windowblinds 10 upgrade is not showing up on my account, with all the other software purchases? Which version of WB do you currently have? When was it purchased?

Assuming you purchased an earlier version, I believe you just need to go into you account page where your purchases are listed and click "download" for WindowsBlinds and that should automatically download WB 10.
