Reply to A Call for Leadership: The copyright issue in OS Customization WinCustomize Forums

I give up! When I opened it to edit, the breaks and blank lines were all there. Only after I logged out and returned did the text show up as one big uninterrupted mass (in a previous life, I used to call it "sea of gray). So I hand entered after every paragraph. Then when I saved the text, the s all showed up as text! So now I will log off, log back on, and see if the edits stayed. If so, I will go in and remove the s that I just inserted. .

Reply to A Call for Leadership: The copyright issue in OS Customization WinCustomize Forums

Sorry, people. It was formatted when I started. (with subheads and everything) Maybe I am missing a critical piece...? Do you need to insert html code? I am truly sorry. Didn't mean to create headaches!

A Call for Leadership: The copyright issue in OS Customization WinCustomize Forums

I am new to this forum, although not at all new to issues of images and copyright. From what I read in the rules of the site it seems that images from film and television are not supposed to be used without permission. Copyright could be an important issue, especially if this site (and others like it) becomes more popular with all the Vista stuff on people's computers. Far from agreement, however,

Reply to Telecom Consolidation: Cingular Wireless Becomes AT&T in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Whatever this new AT&T grows into, it won't be "Ma Bell." The laws were changed. The actual "breakup" of AT&T was a gift to management. They dumped off all of their unproductive services--many of which had been required as condition for their monopoly--and gave them a big bucket of cash to let them pick an area to instantly dominate. We are, perhaps, fortunate at the general ineptness of the then-management team. But the breakup

Reply to How Stardock failed the skinning community in 2006 in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

This is my first post here. I have been lurking (as a subscriber)because I believe in Stardock's promise--enough to stick around for a little while more. This is a long post. The issues are neither easy nor simple. All those who are looking for a quick answer should just skip this post. (I would have sent a personal email but I heard it wouldn't even get read!) I'm neither a tech writer nor a programmer. Just to provide some c

Per pixel in Object Desktop WinCustomize Forums

This is probably something that all computer users ought to know, but I was hiding somewhere (obviously *not* in "graphicsland) when the dictionary update was distributed. What does "per pixel" mean? I've seen it used several times, and people seem to be using it in different ways. It is a requirement for Aero (the GUI part of Vista) but Microsoft doesn't define it either (no surprise there). I have a graphics card that says it supports it (NVIDIA Quadro) but the do-

Reply to Uninstall programmed to screw up windows as punishment for uninstalling!!!! in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

I'm probably closer to 75 than are most on this list, and I assure you that as you get older you really ought to get brighter. Insulting people from whom you are trying to get help does not count as "brighter." Yet I would like to be the sort of man who gives help to others, not because they deserve it, but because it is the right thing to do. It is the case (and this will be a controversial statement, I fear) that Stardock could be a little more explicit about the changes th

SD plug-in meters (Control Center) don't work with all my drives in Theme Manager Stardock Forums

Hello again, hope this is "two for a nickel" day. As I attempt to get the control center working just luv-il-lee, I'm running into a couple of problems. (1) In control center I am inserting SDmeters to monitor my hard drive partitions (I like having a bunch of partitions so I can easily back up the important data and avoid typing in long directory paths. . .). I have: A: the standard floppy and C: drives, D: a CD drive E:- F: a couple of portable drives (one

Screen keeps migrating West in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

Hello, all. I'm posting this because it seems many folks here have "challenging" hardware-software configurations. I'm running on a P4 1.8 with 1 gig of memory and an NVidia Quadro card (64 meg video memory) Since I got the gui bug, which was about the same time I upgraded this computer and downloaded/installed all of the Stardock DesktopX programs (pay version), (deep breath) My visible screen keeps moving to the right. I mean, after a few window o
