Hi I am running Start 10 version 1.5 on Windows 10 AU fully patched. I have selected the modern theme in Start 10 and I am using a dark grey Windows color theme. I have two general user accounts and when I use Windows Switch User to sign in to a different account when I go back to the first user account the Start 10 color scheme has gone back to the default blue color
I think this should work:
Hi I have a screen shot, not sure how top upload to the forums. I did manage to set it as as my profile screen desktop image. Is that visible?
Hi If I click on the taskbar start button the start8 menu appears as expected just above the start button. If I click on the Object dock icon I get the issue with it disappearing of the top of the screen.
Hi Many thanks for the tips. I tried them but alas I am still stuck with the Start8 Window disappearing of the top of the screen. I think part of the issue is that it is not a normal window and has no title bar. As such things like Alt+Space then M to move do not work. I cannot move the Start8 window at all: click and hold does not work for some reason. The right mouse click just gives you one option to configure Start8. I tried using small icons but all this di
Hi I am running: Windows 8.1 Object Dock 2.1 Start8 1.30.1 ModernMix 1.12 I have a Start8 start menu icon in a single dock at the bottom of the screen. When I click on the start8 dock icon the window is so high up that the top third disappears off the top of the screen. I have been unable to move the Start8 Window with the mouse or cursor keys. I have tried deleting the object dock icon a
Thanks Dash I deleted the user_config.xml file under C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Local\Stardock\Aquarium Desktop. This fixed my problem. I guess the xml was corrupt in some way.
Hi Using Aquarium desktop 2009 version 1.01 on Windows Vista SP2. I also have two fish packs. This is set to start at logon but it has suddenly stopped displaying the fish. The system tray icon is present, show is on. But nothing is displayed and I cannot even open the panel to add and remove items. Any ideas how to get Aquarium to display correctly again? Many thanks.

Hi Thanks for the replies. My PC locale info is English (United Kingdom)
Hi I have installed Bootskin Pro v 1.02 onto my PC running Windows Vista Ultimate SP1. I selected the included boot skin "Orange Nebula" click apply and get the succesfully applied message. However, when I boot the bootscreen has been changed from the default Vista bootscreen to the hidden Windows bootscreen and not "Orange Nebula". Any ideas what is going wrong?
Thanks for the replies and reasurrance. I am planning getting CS4 soon so I will reinstall Vista first with 64-bit to make the most out of my 4GB RAM.
Hi Many thanks for the list. It is comprehensive but does not include Object Dock. I think there is also a typo for CursorFX, it says supported on Windows XP 32-bit. I am sure the main Stardick site states Vista 32-bit as well. My query is that since CursorFX is a new product why does it not support 64bit? Thanks
Hi I am thinkng of moving from 32-bit Vista to 64-bit Vista. I have checked out my favorite Stardock apps and I am concerned they are not 64-bit compatible. CursorFX plus looks to be 32-bit only. Is this correct as it is a new Vista product I kinda expected it to support 64 bit. ObjectDock plus. Also looks to be 32-bit only. As this is fairly old now when is the next version due and will it support 64-bit? Many thanks
[quote]know for Object desktop so I guess BootSkin Po should be available on SDC? [/quote] Many thanks, I'll give Impulse another go. Fingers crossed.
I had a bad experience when I installed MyColors and don't fancy changing from Stardock Central that works OK for Object desktop updates. I can understand Impulse is needed for large games but SDC is still supportd as far as I know for Object desktop so I guess BootSkin Po should be available on SDC?
[e digicons]8C[/e] Oh no. I thought Stardock Central was still supported. I do not want to install Impulse as I all I need is Objectdesktop updates.
Hi I have Obect Desktop, I believe this is ultimate version as it was renewed in the timescale described in the annoucements for Object Desktop. I can not find BootSkin Po in Stardock Central. I don't use Impulse so how do I download Bootskin Pro please.

[quote]Sure!Right click on the short cut to MyColors on the general users desktop. Go to properties > Shortcut tab > Advanced button > then check Run as Administrator.[/quote] Hi I had not tried that technique before. I followed this method but when you then click on the desktop icon it still asks for the Admin password. Looks like MyColors can not be run without Admin privilege.

[quote]If you simply set MyColors to run as administrator through the properties options the general users can change their themes at will through Vista. They wouldn't have access to your personal information just the option to "reskin" But the info is entered correctly.Normally this is the part where I would confirm your account information with you just to be sure.

[quote]My understanding is that you would need impulse AND MyColors to install the Burgandy theme at the moment, but I believe that Stardock may be looking at making the suites available as Theme Manager suites for those of us that don't want to use MyColors, but I'm not certain.As regards Impulse, you really should install and use this fine application, as it will be replacing Stardock Central in the future and you can do everything you can do in SDC, but more of it IF YOU WANT TO.Hope this hel

Hi Thanks for the reply. I would prefer not to install Impulse as it looks overkill for just getting updates to the Stardock customizing programs. I would also perfer not to install MyColors - seems excessive if I already have Object Desktop. Is it possible to extract the WindowBlind skin like you could from Theme Manager?
