Reply to POLL: Do you like or dislike pirates? in Strategy Stardock Forums

I like the idea of pirates but I think the current implementation is annoying. As someone else said they aren't pirates they are mercenaries. The main thing I hate though is having to basically stop playing and stare at the bidding screen knowing that the AI will always bid at the last minute. I can't stand that. Plus the other things people have said annoy me too; ingnoring the fleet, attacking when you are engaged with who you are paying them to attack. Stuff like that. Imo right now

[quote]if you're talking about a pdf file in a folder, icon, mine change using IPwhat version are you using?[/quote] Correct. The file icon. I have the latest version of IP just got it today. Is it ok to delete the pdf icon defined in a downloaded package then add it back yourself? The package I am using already has the PDF file icon assigned but I was thinking by adding my own maybe I could force it.

Reply to Fixing Capital Ships in Sins of a Solar Empire Stardock Forums

I like the way they are except for two things I have read in this thread. I really like the idea of some of the "upgrades" to capital ships being accessed only through the tech tree. That sounds very cool to me. I also think it is odd that they are available right off the bat where the medium ships are not. That they are free from the start is along side this thought and I think that is odd as well. I would much rather have a light seige ship available (to take the place of what the "st

Reply to who's chasing vasari? in Sins of a Solar Empire Stardock Forums

Another version I was thinking of was the that new race isn't tied to the "chasing" race but rather just a new one in lore not yet presented. But maybe the thing that is chasing the Vasari becomes a game mechanic that players have to deal with in-game. Like how the pirates are used. I don't mean implemented like the priates I just mean a separate faction/problem that has appeared and is now dogging everyone. I never played Galactic Cilivations but isn't that how one of the races were introduced/

4.0 Interface? in IconPackager Stardock Forums

I upgraded to the latest version of IP and I still have the old interface. As I saw in a video from Island Dog the new version should have an interface similar to WindowBlinds. Correct? Is my install whonky? Should I try again or is 4.0 not ready for prime time yet? My version is 3.99.143 btw. Thanks.

I don't now either but I did recieve a nice support email back when I sent this questions to them.

IE7 tabs can be skinned on Vista only. On XP, they cannot be skinned. The skin will obviously need this setting for the skinning to take place. Also, in IE8, there is a bug with the active t

No I am not talking about the skin. :) I bought this thing thinking it would help me navigate the wincustomize site as its everywhere and all over the place. Well it doesn't look like the screenshots, doesn't seem to be able to be edited like the screenshots, and not all the functions work and I hope I have a bad version or something because I am getting pretty hacked.

Reply to Trial version and IE tabs color? in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

I didn't even think about stating my OS. Yes I am using XP. I guess that explains it because I do have the purchased version of WB now. Thing is there is a place where the tabs are skinnable in SkinStudio. Maybe this is a new functionality? When I look at the skins it looks like the values just aren't set. Thanks though for the reply. :) I hope it isn't an OS thing though. I just bought his program only to have cool skins but an ugly browser. It really detracts from the look

I hope I am missing something simple. I just downloaded the trial version of WindowsBlinds to check it out. I have been downloading some skins, putting the program through its paces and what not. Thing is none of the skins seem to change the color of the tabs in IE. Is there something I need to set? Reagrdless of the skin the tabs are light blue all the time. I know its a small thing but visually it really sticks out and is hard to ignore. :p Is it a disabled feature maybe because o
