Chris, That immediately marks you as a "Windows Zealot" in most people's eyes... Besides that it strikes me as immature for something so trivial to 'annoy you'.It's only software - get over it Surely you have been annoyed at something in the past that others might consider "trivial". Does that make you immature? I don't think so. The

Sorry, China. Not even close. I seem to be generating more than my fair share of confusion. All I was getting at was that my nick went from stardockjeff1 (may he rest in peace) to JeffBDVS. The cookie goes to the first one who guesses JeffBDVS. Just like "Who's buried in Grant's Tomb", only different. In case anyone is even mildly curious, the caps in my nick stand for the name of m

Sometimes taking a break from the problem, even just long enough to post your question, changes your perspective enough to see what you could not see before.

I agree that 50 mb is a fair amount, as long as you know that before you start downloading, so that you can be more selective. I have nothing to do with the running and maintaining of this site, but that's an offensive statement to me. Good manners and common sense would seem to dictate that anytime you are having a go on somebody else's dime th

Thanks for the input. Hopefully a comprehensive bug list will arise out of this thread. As a disclaimer, in case anyone's not sure, I don't work for Stardock, I just used their name in my nick. I do things like that to help me remember my username from site to site. Jeff

I was just trying to say that everyone is a freeloader. I can't explain that some just can't pay, not that they don't want to, but some people don't want to hear it, so whatever. My mommy taught me to share as a child, apparently yours did not. I sure hope you meant to put the word "not" between "that" and "everyone"! As for the rest of the quot

Are there any uses for rollup other than for people with hidden taskbars?Just curious , Adobe Photoshop and Encore DVD are two prime examples where several modules/documents are open at the same time (and I don't mean the palettes) and a rollup of the child windows works great as opposed to a minimize. At least in my workflow. <img src="http://

Thanks for the info, CT. It's good to know I can use the hacked .dll I paid for without having to re-hack it myself. I hate it when I have to hack things myself. Jeff

WB4 Beta Bug List (Mods Plz Move as Required) in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Just a couple of bugs in the new beta for WB4: 1. Certain app windows (like SDC) and child windows (Adobe Encore DVD) do not roll all the way up if a rollup control is clicked. 2. Certain MDI window backgrounds (PS7, AE6, PS Elements 2) do not skin. 3. Utility windows accessed from the TuneUp Utilities integrator do not skin. Anyone else seeing these issues? Each of them represent a loss of functionality from the previous release version 4.20.017 Jeff

CT, a couple of questions, if I may: 1. How do you "use" the _special_ uxtheme file to view msstyles? I paid for StyleXP a while back so it is available to me if I need/want it; would that give me as accurate a display of the msstyles as the modified uxtheme file? 2. Have you tried the different options for converting msstyles to windowblinds? (Universal Skin; WB VS - performance optimized; WB VS - accuracy optimized) Have you noticed any difference? I've done a couple of q

Here's my first upload. I used Xero's Mac OS X 10.3 Theme from the AquaXP web site, tweaked the WB portion in SKS, and added icons from various artists both here and at DevArt. I even stretched it over 2 monitors. I know it's trite because of the Mac theme, but it is exactly what I wanted for my XP desktop. It's hard to get any real work done, though, because the theme is so calming and relaxing and...zzzzzzzz.... <img src="http://skins2.wincustomize.com/stardockjeff1/screenshots/Pa

You know, if you'd just downgrade the quality of the products and web site to the "below average" range, a lot of folks would stop visiting and the load on your POS servers would decrease to the point where maybe they could manage the traffic. Yup. I think that's the cheapest solution. Don't allow any high-quality art on the site and riddle the Stardock apps with bugs. Presto! Everything becomes manageable again! <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/smile.gif"

Okay, I'm an idiot. I went to the "ObjectDock" library long before I posted the first time and scrolled through all the way back to early last year. I never saw the Gloss packages from your links. I must have had one or more of the filters selected. I also searched on "application", "programs" and "system". I didn't try "Adobe". Doh. Thanks for the tips. Hopefully I'll get the hang of this site before my subscription runs out! Jeff

Thanks, CT. Adobe: Photoshop, After Effects, Photoshop Elements, Photoshop Album, Premiere Pro, Encore DVD Ulead: Cool3d or Cool3D Prod. Studio Nero; Goldwave; SonicFire Pro; Scansoft PaperPort I know that's a long list, but any help you could give in pointing me to larger/similar icons would be great. My aim is to start with one or two and gradually work up; I expect I'll be into PS or RealDraw Pro before too long trying to copy/interpret some of these icons
