Reply to First public beta of the Winstep Nexus dock released! in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Reply to Quote: HuronJoe, you can get the promotional 50% off price from HERE . The reason you won't find it anywhere else is because it's a promotional upgrade price for users of the stand alone Nexus version that was just released. I uninstalled my trial version of WinStep Extreme, downloaded the stand alone free version of Nexus, clicked on the "about" but

Reply to First public beta of the Winstep Nexus dock released! in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

I have a Full Trial version of WinStep Extream running on my system for the last two days. I really like it but they are asking $39.90 for it and you're saying that if I purchase the full version before the end of the month I can get it for $19.95. I like that price much better. However I can't find any "about" menu to click on to get the reduced price. Can anyone help me on this?

Fantastic Update to WinCustomize.com Also I would like to point out that gef must of had a lot to do with this fresh design as his "Customize" desktopX skin is extremely similar if not exactly the same. I use "Customize" as my main desktop and therefore have no confusion with going to WinCustomize.com Great work to all who contributed to the new site design.

Appreciate the information but when I try to install the Emoticons Pack(s) I get a message that states: "Class Not Registered". I don't know what that means but I suspect because I have cookies disabled that is what the result is.

Reply to The Future of WinCustomize.com... in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

I just put in the $20.00 for a renewal to WC and I have purchased around 95% of all of the Stardock products. However I have no idea when my current subscription to WC runs out. I don't mind contributing money to keep the site going since I don't have the talent to do the skinning. To me it is worth it to be able to alter and change my Windows XP pro desktop to reflect my current mood. How do you tell when your WC subscription or your Stardock OD

Reply to Netscape Hits 8.0 in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I'm trying out Netscape 8. Its far superior to all previous version of netscape and I've tried them all. Firefox is still my main browser and I use IE6 for checking my msn and hotmail account, as well as the only browser you can use to get the latest XP updates is IE. I finally learned how to use Outlook to check my regular mail as well as hotmail and msn. So now I'm no longer tied to IE. If Netscape alows the eariler extensions from Firefox to be usab

Reply to Features for WinCustomize V4 Suggestion Thread in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

It would be nice (since some of use are still using 56k modems) to have a resume feature when you get interupted downloading. Also when you purchase a CD such as the "Orion Icon Premium Suite" and then it shows up as available in Stardock Central you should be able to just load it from CD rather then re-downloading to make it show up as "Installed" I hope this post makes sense. <A HREF

Create a simple database in Windows Software JoeUser Forums

I'm retired and learning to use the pc as a diversion from boredom. I got to thinking that having one's own database might be usefull. You could link all of the shareware you purchase with the vendors and websites, along together with the necessary serial numbers or keys to install. But where do you begin. One database would lead to another and it seems very complicated. Would you set it up as a "contact list"? Do you link to your own personal email contacts? Is a "Family

It's Great To Have A Good Hobby in Welcome JoeUser Forums

This is my first attempt at keeping a blog. I hope it is right down my alley.

#31 "Yeah, how do you clean a 400 gallon tank anyway???" In my (3) 30 gal tanks, they are all heavely (sp) planted and all I have to do is change the filter medium occasionally and do weekly water changes of 25% with a Pythlon syphon connected directly to my bathroom sink. Takes about 15 minutes and my tanks are crystal clear. A 400 gallon tank would even be easier as your wouldn't have change from tank to tank. These are freshwater tanks (as opposed to saltwater) and I just have Guppie

Treetog: I also enjoy aquariums. I have 3 of the 30gal high tanks in one stand all in a row to appear as if they are all one tank. Is there any way you could put a link in to your message to show your 400 gal tank. I would love to see it.

Reply to Questions and bug report! in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

If any information is put out at all, it should be to let people know that the discussion group exists. Maybe should be put into the readme text for all software downloaded from Stardock. I know that may be over simplifing so if not in the readme text then in the ad's listing the various programs. There is an enormous amount of tips and tricks offered every day from the discussion group. It makes for a friendly enviroment to learn from. Its true that not all web site discussion groups are as goo

Same on my system Gadget Girl. My system updates so fast that it is really not a problem for me but I could see that it would be anoying if I didn't have a fast connection. Also I tend to think that there is so much going on at the moment at Stardock that you really can't consider this the norm.

Reply to Kazaa and winzip icon files for objectdock in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Just adding my two cents. I tend to agree with Elfkura and the many others who say that Kazaa is not a bad thing. I guess another analogy would be a gun. I don't own a gun but I have never blamed the gun for the murders that have been committeed. I do have a copy of Kazaa on my system and have had it for over a year. In all that time I have only downloaded two songs that I couldn't find locally (I live in the boon docks). I liked them so well that I did in fact wind up buying the CD's (two diffe

Reply to ~ PixOS Sysmetrix help... in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

No problem with PixOS on my system. Sometimes the SysMetrix program shows up about 2" to the left of where I last left it and I just open up config and hit the little arrow bar to move it back in position. I then save the theme and it works 99% of the time. For the 1 percent it doesn't I just redo the above. PixOS is without a doubt my favorite theme. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/sb.gif" border
