[quote who="Jafo" reply="3" id="3780666"] Nope.... MadIce [Matthijs Vermeulen]... [/quote]I remember MadIce when I see the name, but I would never have guessed that. What I do remember is Digital Age (TheGreenReaper) which had animations and was very cool back then. A good thing some of those old skins don't work anymore because the memories would be ruined.

Uninstalled Curtains and the problem seems to be solved. I didn't use Curtains much, so I'm just happy Windowblinds works for now. Thank you!

[quote who="Jafo" reply="1" id="3780656"] Now I just gotta remember who was first [I can almost visualize his name...but can't think of it]... [/quote]DavidK (David Knott) or TheGreenReaper (Laurence Parry)?

Happens with all styles, (tried at least 20-25) also the ones with buttons placed almost in the same place as the default ones. Nothing happens when I try to click on or around the buttons. Have to right click on taskbar buttons to close windows. When closing the a window, calculator or apps with the error, WindowFX does not apply animations and it looks just like the window/app crashes.

Thank you. I don't use Groupy myself, but someone from Stardock will help you as soon as they see this. Please remember that it might take some time for that to happen, but hopefully you can work a few hours without Groupy's full functionality.

It's impossible to help you if you don't provide the necessary/vital information to do so. Press Windows key + R and type winver & press Enter. You will get a popup box similar to this one: What we need to help you is for you to post here the full line you see on your computer that reads like

I don't use the libraries in Windows and a menu like the one on the left here has never appealed to me in any way, and as already mentioned, why use an app with less functionality than Windows explorer. And I don't like the way Microsoft design things nowadays and everything so big. Besides, if you want something else that is really efficient productivity wise, Total Commander (shareware) or WinNc (Norton Commander) a

Maybe this is what you're looking for. Try to increase that number.

[quote who="ALMonty" reply="36" id="3780413"] Blueish style [/quote]Close enough! [e digicons]:grin:[/e] My fav is the red/dark, but I think they all look great.

[quote who="ALMonty" reply="32" id="3780388"] What? I like the blue style one. Did I say something wrong? Or should I have said I like ALL the styles. [/quote]I understood what you meant, and it might be just me, but there is no blue style, at least not on my screen. It's green or teal if you like.

[quote who="2of3" reply="21" id="3780325"] Did some reworking on several areas. I'll have a screeny of all 3 colors to show sometime today. [/quote]

[quote who="SimplexDesigns" reply="30" id="3780324"] Its a recreation of the XP themes im currently working on. Luna blue style is done, just started working on the Silver style now. [/quote]I like what you have done here and that it's as close to the original as possible. Excellent work!

What wb is that, SimplexDesign?

[quote who="2of3" reply="12" id="3780108"] OP updated to reflect recent changes [/quote]Very nice start button & overall design imho. The red command is my fav and I bet this one recolours very well too, so preferred colour shouldn't be an issue. Really looking forward to this release, Tim! [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e]

[quote who="daish0" reply="16" id="3779731"] It would actually be cool to keep the current default windows behaviour BUT startup fences earlier [/quote]My 2 cents... I think that giving all users access to all the shortcuts in Fences at an earlier stage in the boot process, would result in a myriad of errors/crashes because Windows has not yet loaded all services those programs may be dependant on to function properly or at all. Have you all considered that?

[quote who="AceMatrix" reply="4" id="3779677"] P.S. - ummm...ok , I create icons so maybe I'm not "technically" a skinner [/quote]You're a skinnner, no doubts there. A good one too! ;-)

[quote who="Jafo" reply="12" id="3779474"] Now, if the shell loading process left the displaying of desktop icons as the last stage you'd see no difference at all, but Microsoft wants to give the impression that the desktop has finished before it really has and shows them early... [/quote]This.

[quote who="YvanP" reply="9" id="3779335"] Is that the 'VERY long lag' you are referring to?" Yes it is. [/quote]Just curious... Why on this earth are you restarting/starting your machine all the time? If you're not, and haven't got 10 seconds to spare, have you got time to use your computer at all?

[quote who="SchismNavigator" reply="1" id="3779256"] If you liked FF I suggest trying out Brave [/quote]Actually, I like it a lot and that should count for something being a FF fan for... forever. Will try this for a while!

[quote who="LightStar" reply="76" id="3779279"] Have a good Memorial Day, and everyone stay safe please. Comments appreciated. [/quote]Seems to be worth the buy for the wallpapers alone! Similar start button as used in Dark Dreams, another fav, I've been using on my laptop for a very long time. Excellent work, Tom! [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e]

[quote who="Sean-zampaz" reply="16" id="3779169"] I thought I bought the app [/quote]You did. And you can use it as long as you want and/or as long as it's still working in your computer environment. Like a lot of other software you can buy online, you have to download and save backups of the software installation files you bought if you ever need to reinstall after your subscription has expired. The subscription is as stated earlier

[quote who="2of3" reply="69" id="3779134"] That's really clever how Dani blended the light blue and green into the taskbar. I wish I thought of that when I did my luna skin! Oh, well, I did what I did and that's why he's the best [/quote]I noticed that too. Nicely done!

Uninstaller crashes explorer, so I had to download iObit Uninstaller to get rid of it. There might be a conflict between Fences/Powertoys, but that's just me guessing.

[quote who="RedneckDude" reply="14" id="3778965"] I am still not getting alerts on threads I am subscribed to. [/quote]I use the Stardock forum (not the one on WC) and get notifications. I think that forum works a lot better in every aspect too.
