First off this is not important, it is "one of many things"... but anyways... [quote] Where did this idea come from that the apps would not support 64 bit? There is no point making say the UI for WB 64 bit as it would just bloat up the installer, but the bits that need to be 64 bit are 64 bit on 64 bit OSes. Things like SKS will remain 32 bit on all platforms as there is no gain to the user with there being a 64 bit version of the exe. Its not like it needs more than 2GB RAM or would

Sorry for abusing the qoute and hr but for the strangest reason all my line feeds get removed...

There are a lot of them... but they get removed... and I tried both firefox and internet explorer so something is broken over at stardock :) [link="http://www.medin.name/blog/brand-new-stardock-2010"]http://www.medin.name/blog/brand-new-stardock-2010[/link] A well formated version :) [HR] Unfortunately I am no longer allowed to edit it so I guess I wont be able to fix it either... *sigh* [HR] Strange that they get removed though, could it be the proxy maybe? // Michael Medin

System colors? in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

Hello, Whenever I am using windowblinds I tend to end up with "unusable system colors" which means I have to "unload" WB which is a bit of a bother, is there some way to "disable" the changing of system colors in WB? I know I can "override them" but then I have to override them again next time I apply a new skin I would like to "disable" them or perhaps even better be able to exclude the colors in question causing the problem. The end result is this (whi

Nice looking suite... first one I bought, always been rather skeptical to the whole "premium skin" thing, but I have to say, it is pretty nice. And well worth the 7 or so $ I payed for it. Now to the questions: 1, where is that wicked looking "simon the sorcerer hat" ? My startmenu does not have a hat (on XP at the moment, and given how much vista sucked probably will stay that way). 2, Weather-widget... Had we not solved the "AccuWeather-issues(TM)" with latest version of O

Support for remote repository? in KeepSafe Stardock Forums

What sort of remote repositories does TD support? I would like to back up my files to a remote location so smb is not very practical. Support for scp/svn would be ideal if you ask me and perhaps ftp/cvs/* for good measure, but does TD support anything along those lines today and if not will it in the future?. // MickeM

Well, you could certainly set the wallpaper for the season and time of day - the wallpapers are appropriately named and are in the Natural Desktop\AppData folder, so you would just need to adjust the seasons and time, then specify a single wallpaper. No, what I meant was, now it is summer, lets say I

Works like a charm for me (notice that I dont have a .se version of windows at home, only at work so I cannot try it "fully" till I get back from my vacation in a few weeeks) But I had the same problems at home on a .us windows running "Swedish non-unicode locale" (and now that works fine, so it seems to work alot better.

Hummm, if I read "JourneyMan Phoon" correctly this is indeed just another remote desktop/terminalserver/citrix/vnc/x/radmin/ thing. Which means you can remotely controll another computer using this program. So from "one computer" you can connect and remote control (as if you were phsyically using it) "another computer". Notice that you cannot reboot the computer and such, and if the computer

Sweet, been waiting for this makeover for a while now.
