Reply to Impulse Weekend Sale - July 1st in Personal Computing Stardock Forums

[quote who="Tamba" reply="2" id="2285915"]I know I've complained about the eruopean prices a few times and I know that it's not stardocks fault...but are you sure you didn't switch the $ and € price this time? Red Faction Guerilla Pre-order 39.99 USD | 49.99 EUR (thats 70$ ) | 34.99 GBP[/quote] Damn! I already bought it. And I thought the 49.99 tag was fishy. This price difference is the reason I stopped buying from steam. So we have $4

Reply to Do you really want Steam to be your only option? Are you sure? in PC Gaming Stardock Forums

[quote who="Gabberkooij" comment="26"]If both Impulse and Steam have the same game in store I prefer Impulse. I've installed both on 2 of my systems and I like the fact that I can freely choose which Impulse game to play. If one of my children wants to play a steam game the account is only available on 1 system....Impulse is much cheaper for us EU people [/quote] +1 [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e]

Deskscape XP in Stardock Support General WinCustomize Forums

After installing Deskscape i've noticed that when using the ALT+Shift (or CTRL+Shift) shortcut to change keyboard layout doesn't work in some programs. It works on the desktop or notepad but not in Outlook 2007 or Word 2007, Excel 2007, IE 7, Firefox 3. I still can change the layout by using the language bar but is it very annoying. I've tried it on two different systems with the same results. On my home Windows XP sp3 32 bit, 2 GB ram, Core 2 Quad Q6600,

Paint problem with Vertical Scrollbar in Microsoft Dynamics NAV in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

Windowblinds always had problems with this app (previously known as Microsoft Navision), but the latest version (v5) fixed almost all the problems except the vertical scrollbar. It seems that windowblinds forgets to paint it, as open windows that overlap the scrollbar when closed leave their image there. I've tried to exclude scrollbar skinning but unfortunatelly only if I exclude the whole app, the scrollbar appears again.

Personally, I feel that skinners should be the ONLY people that have the ability to rate a skin, that way it would be much fairer because they know themselves what it takes to create a skin or theme in the first place. You are right. It is very difficult to make a skin. The amount of work is hug

Black Cat 77 Finally I told myself that I'd certainly gotten $20 worth of good from WC over all the years I've been here for free. You're a member as long as I am. And I think that in all 336 MB's of download that I've done in this site that they cost many times the $20. Some of th

Our belief is that people don't subscribe to the site simply because there's little incentive to do so. If that doesn't work, then we'll lower it to 25 megabytes of bandwidth a user can have. So you are going to use more resources for users that don't indent to subscribe. <

Reply to WB4.90b in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

I've tried to recreate the problem today, but I couldn't. Maybe yesterday that the WB got updated something didn't changed as it should ( and I did a restart). Thanks for your time and sorry for the false alarm.

WB4.90b in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

There seem to be some problems when using the WinCustomize browser. If you go to the Skins and Themes section the buttons Download,Apply,View/Add Comments and Show Description are visible in the middle of the browsing window. I have also a picture with the problem but I don't know how to upload pics to the forum.

Progress Bar problem? in Object Desktop JoeUser Forums

Has anyone noticed a problem with the progress bars? If you have a progress bar window and another window sits above it in a position that overlaps the start of the progress bar window the progress bar in the window below starts from the edge of the window above. If you move the overlaping window to a position that doesn't overlap the progress bar then the bar returns to its normal start. I've noticed that behaviour for quite some time

Reply to WindowBlinds 3.51 available in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

After unistalling 3.5a, clearing everything ( directories, registry ) and installing 3.51, I've noticed that start button, dialog buttons, the tasks in taskbar, menus, checkboxes and radio buttons stopped skinning. And also have the problem of tabs that have icons in them ( like SDC ) appear black. Any ideas? Michael. PS. This is on Win2000pro. <img src="http://images.st

Reply to Problem with Norton Firewall and Wincustomize anyone? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Thank you all for your answers. The problem with e-mail filtering is that you can't say which site is to be filtered or not. As many sites open popups, and many popups just steal your e-mail address I have to be very carefull ( spam is something that I don't like ). Norton Firewall 2002 had privacy control too, Old crab. You just have to turn it on... put some info to protect ( lets say your e-mail address ) and come to wincustomise to see what I mean... <img src="http://im

Problem with Norton Firewall and Wincustomize anyone? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I'm having problems browsing the site if I decide to log on. I've made my e-mail address private ( with Privacy control on norton firewall ) and when a page loads from wincustomize every picture loaded tries to send back the e-mail address, so I get 150+ popups from norton to permit or block the info ( and the default action is to block the info ). I've tried to bypass that by entering wincustomize to trusted sites but didn't work. Does anyone have any solution to this? ( I know of
