Start11: don't treat Windows 11 22H2 Insider builds as Insider in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

Start11 currently locks off several features dealing with taskbar management if it detects the user is running a Windows Insider build. Unfortunately, this is also applied to anyone stuck on a Release Preview build of Windows 11 22H2 with build numbers 22622.xxx or 22623.xxx, despite these builds being identical to the release builds 22621.xxx. These Insider builds were separate to test tabbed explorer or not, and after 22H2 came out both got bumped up a bit to bring them to parity wi

Reply to Windows 7 and MyColors in MyColors Stardock Forums

Is there any release date for a Windows 7 compatible version (or a beta) you can tell us yet? Windows 7 is out worldwide this week, and is already out in certain parts of Europe... not to mention that it has been out on Technet for several weeks now.

Reply to Windows 7 and MyColors in MyColors Stardock Forums

Is there any news, even as a broad estimate such as "around the time of Win7 release"? I don't see the reason for the delay. Both IconPackager and Windowblinds appear to be fully compatible now.

Vista's Downloads folder not picking up icon in IconPackager Stardock Forums

The 'Downloads' user folder is never styled by IconPackager and thus keeps its (bland) default Windows icon, even if the icon package I select has a special icon for it. The folder is properly registered under HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders\{374DE290-123F-4565-9164-39C4925E467B} and functions like it should, but it seems IconPackager can't find it. Seen on both 32-bit and 64-bit installs of Vista SP1, with the Downloads folder i

Reply to IP unsets attributes of desktop.ini files in IconPackager Stardock Forums

Bumping this up again. I know you probably consider this a minor issue, so let me just add the following possible consequence: by making these files visible even though a user has selected to keep system critical files (files flagged as S ystem) hidden, you open up the possibility to accidentally delete these. And once a desktop.ini of a shell folder like Pictures, Music, or Downloads has been deleted, that folder loses its special icon (if any) and any special

Reply to IP unsets attributes of desktop.ini files in IconPackager Stardock Forums

This is still not fixed in recent releases. Please Stardock, somehow address this. Whenever I change my icon package, I see the desktop.ini files reappear on my desktop and in the personal folders. I have written a small batch file that runs the above command for the C drive, which I now must run every time after using Iconpackager.

Reply to MyColors 2.5 Support Thread in MyColors Stardock Forums

Also want to report a minor issue on Vista 64-bit -- whenever I apply a MyColors theme, the full IconPackager application launches, instead of applying the icon package belong to the MyColors theme selected. I need to manually select it from the list and apply it. This is the same for all MyColors themes. On 32-bit, MyColors instead directly applies the icons as part of the overall theme.

Crashes on 64-bit Vista since last update in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

I started up Impulse last week for a change, and got a new Windowblinds version (6.10a[b].144, released 20-06-08.

Reply to Icon Packager Vista 64 Upgrade in IconPackager Stardock Forums

Stardock support, if 4.0 final takes much longer, please at least re-release 3.20 for us x64 users. 3.99 broke icons on Vista without any way to return to the working setup -- 3.20 worked a lot better.

IP unsets attributes of desktop.ini files in IconPackager WinCustomize Forums

If I apply a new icon package through IconPackager which includes custom icons for the personal folders like "desktop" and "music", these folders' desktop.ini files lose the system attribute. This makes them visible even if protected operating system files are set to hidden, and deletable. Deleting one of these files can lead to the loss of special behaviour of these folders, which cannot easily be restored. If IconPackager edits or (re)creates a desktop.ini, it should get the read-

Vista Games Explorer as submenu? in RightClick Stardock Forums

I'm trying to add the Vista Games Explorer to Rightclick, but unfortunately haven't figured out how to yet. It seems this is not a real folder, but rather is populated from the registry. If I create a shortcut to it by dragging the GameUX out of the start menu, the shortcut has no target. But it does work, so for now I'm using this shortcut as a way to get to the GameUX from Rightclick. Does anyone know how to add the Game Explorer as a working submenu to Rightclick?

Reply to What happened to Stardock Design's Dreams? in Animated Wallpapers WinCustomize Forums

Any by Stardock Designs. I just checked them all again: Green Plasma, Quasi3Dm Rough Sand, Blue Plasma, Dark Avatar, Nebula, Sylock Red, Mana Shades: can't be downloaded in the Wincustomize Browser, but now work when directly downloaded from the website. (But not earlier today, or yesterday!) Night & Day : download fails both in the Wincustomize Browser, and normal webbrowser.

What happened to Stardock Design's Dreams? in Animated Wallpapers WinCustomize Forums

I recently lost my downloaded dreams due to a mistake, and wanted to redownload some of them. Unfortunately it seems all the dreams by Stardock Design are gone from this site: downloading through the Wincustomize browser fails, and when I try to download from the site itself with my webbrowser, it informs me the files are not there. The dreams are still listed in the gallery though. What's up with them?
