well, I'm really disapointed by latest CursorFx (premium) version. Each time a software or the system is busy, the cursor doesn't react anymore. It stay freezed on the screen , until the software/application is no more busy. At the end that's just too annoying, and I restore regular cursors. Also, there's that stupid bug: if I press apply in the cursor fx panel , the regular cursor come back. I must double click on the cursor I want, and t

@AnneMarie [quote]I am not a millionaire so I can't have the resources to "GET" whatever I'd want from Mycolors.[/quote] ha ha , the fact is that almost all theme available for MyColors, need to be paid. I believe that's the intent of the software : they want you to pay as much as possible themes. [quote]I do like both though cause Mycolors is great changing everything at once instead of just the taskbar and Windowsblinds could have most any blind I could think of wanting t

@ Neil Banfield, [quote] This is because Cleartype rendering requires knowledge of what is under the text and this cannot be fully known with semi transparency. [/quote] All right, I see there's same issue with regular Vista theme engine, i.e cleartype is disabled on transparent areas. Curiously, even when I disable transparency, Vista disable cleartype on area "supposed to be" transparent. Dumb. However, I've tested Windowsblinds with 100% opaque them

MyColors is just a "crippled" version of windowblinds for me. An attempt from stardock to grab you more money, by pushing you to buy all the themes you want to use.

hi currently using windowblinds 6.2 with Vista Ultimate SP1. I'm fed up of the cleartype issue, I observe when I visit a folder like here Also no ClearType is applied to start menu as well, see pic here . If it's not obvious for you for second picture, you can always zoom it, and it would become obvious.<b

Hi, I was registered to windowblinds 5 only, but then I was so impatient to test the latest windoblinds 6 that I've finally upgraded to the whole object desktop suite (too bad, a few day before I got a coupon, which expired). Here's my impressions: 1) I was so happy to be able to make some part transparent on my favorite theme. 2) The new GUI of Windoblinds 6 is awesome ... I love it. 3) Just switched from Vista to XP, and I'm missing an effect of Aero. I

hi, if ever you tried any freeware alternative to get a "thumbnail tool tip" (I call it this way to avoid confusion with the name of the two existing freeware "visual task tips" & "visual tool tip"), and then uninstall these freewares , then if you install after window fx, the "thumbnail tool tip" is definitely broken ... The thumbnail doesn't apppear anymore. I guess these utilities are leaving registry entry that are fooling window fx. This is just to make y

thanks bichur, but this option have no impact on the start menu with that theme... I tried to take a look with skin studio, but too complicated for me.... (hey , I have the feeling to work inside an IDE, not an application that provide fun). I guess I have to wait for next version of "skin studio" i.e the 6 ; I've seen somewhere a screenshot of it , this one looks awesome (more user friendly).

hi Bichur, WindowFX will allow you to put the text to the right (or hide it) I don't see anywhere such option in WindowFx. I don't like that much WindowFx anyway, and I'm currently using virtualisation to test it. The start panel can be adjusted in skin studio Are you suggesting me to rework the theme ? I'm not a skin develloper (yet), and prefer not to "hack" official skins . I'

hi, I like to use big icons on my desktop. I use settings bigger than the one offered by the default option "use big icon" of XP, i.e 64x64 px. (can do that with a tweaking utility) With some WB themes this is just fine. However , with some others there's problem. Let me show first a screenshot ( I hope the forum support link from thumbnail, otherwise, I need to re-edit the post ) <a href="http://img404.imageshack.us/my.php?image=bigiconsbc6.
