Reply to WB Not Working Properly In Vista 64bit in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

Wizard, I tried the solution found in the post you mentioned, which was uninstall, reboot, reinstall. That did not fix the problem. I also tried different resolutions which did not work either. I hope someone can offer a fix or solution. Thanks to Zubaz and you for your interest in helping me find a solution to this problem

Reply to Windows Vista SP1 restores faith in Windows Vista WinCustomize Forums

My dx and dx widgets, and independent gadgets all ran nicely on vista BEFORE I installed sp1. After I installed it, NONE of them worked. So I uninstalled sp1, now all is well again with my dx, dx widgets, and independent gadgets. It appears that for now vista sp1 IS the culprit. I hope this get fixed soon.

What is your definition of a "Power User" in Blogging JoeUser Forums

I was reading Draginol's fine preview of upcoming Stardock projects in which he stated - "A lot of the controversy comes from power users who actually aren't power users who really shouldn't be tweaking their computer in the first place." It made me curious as to what other's definition of a power user is. So use this post to give the community YOUR definition of a power user.

Lol, I know so little Duke261, so saying whether Paint.net is adequate or not should be left to the pro's. I just meant that when I use it, the online help files are adequate enough to answer what question I have about it at that moment.

Reply to Is skinning a community or a market? in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

In my humble opinion, Object Desktop IS a bang for the buck, and so is object Dock Plus, CursorFx and My Colors for that matter. I for one hope that Stardock does not pull out of the consumer market. The basic premise of Mitch's analogy "I feel my new car should come with tires and wheels" is flawed. Object Desktop DOES come with tires and wheels aka as FREE skins in the package, along with several programs included, not just one. Stardock also gives away master skins from time to time for curre

Reply to 2007 in Review: What Were Your "Firsts" This Year? in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

This year I bought Windowblinds, then Object Desktop, then ObjectDock Plus. I have enjoyed all three immensely. I have not tried skinning yet, but I did create 29 screenshots https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.aspx?acid=2847002 It was great fun doing them, as is being a part of this community. I hope to learn skinning next year. I wish for everyone a happy, healthy, prosperous, successful new year :)

I don't blog, I do write poetry, maybe I should create a poetry blog, then again I should copyright them 1st (smile). I concur with Nimbin, a good lively chat suits me better. However, some blogs are helpful as in jamespaulp's example. Also, a note to jamespaulp, posts like your dual boot post, along with forums like windowsbbs.com, have been invaluable help to me over the years.

I agree with warreni, my 2gb stick came with U3, I find it useful (has some nice free apps and features). However, I installed PortableApps a long time ago, and I love it. It has many nice free programs and a nice interface. Along with Xtraveller as mentioned by warreni above, PStart is another free non-U3 apps launcher that will launch PortableApps for you (on U3 enabled drives), I use them both. I have noticed that Xtraveller will autolaunch PortableApps when you launch Xtrav

I love the toolbar so far. I have it working in IE7 and Maxthon 1.6.2 just fine, but I cannot get it to work in Maxthon 2.0.3.4643. Any suggestions? Also I agree with whoever mentioned the WC logo not lookin all that nice. Any chance to get a glass version of the logo? Thanks for all who worked on this project, it is a nice addition. I am not big on toolbars, but this one I will keep and use. It is easy to configure and the radio works great. I am glad I can add my own stations too <img src="htt

Wow, that was simple enough . Thanks for responding so quickly MontyXP. MontyXP is there a way to drag regular docks to different positions? I can drag tabbed docks, and I see how to change the position of a regular dock, i.e. distance from edge and so on, but I don't see a way to do simple dragging on regular docks, just tabbed ones. Thanks Again, winstar4

Tabbed Docks in ObjectDock WinCustomize Forums

I have created 9 customized tabbed docks that I would like to backup. I can access them through my docks, and change them as needed. I spent a long time setting them up (custom icons, links, and so on), and I don't want to lose them. Please advise me as to how to back them up. I have looked for them in the primary ObjectDock Plus folder, but I dont see them there. I can only see them when I manage my docks. I see no backup option anywhere in the program. All help is appreciated.
