Did you check theme manager library.

"Note:  You must have the latest version of Theme Manager from Stardock Central to use this suite."


I was able to locate it by clicking my name then Subscriber Only Skins.

On the forum page that you're looking at right now, Click on your user name up at the very top right of the page - next to the "All" button by the search box.

A very brief profile page will appear.  In the middle of the page is a small list: Member Since, Last Seen, User Level, Subscriber Only Skins [Click on that]. You'll go to your subscriber skin page.

If it's a .suite or .theme files, after you download the theme, you can right-click and "open with" WinZip or such, or rename the extension to ".zip" and open it to extract the pieces you want - the suite files are just zip files with a different extension.

Sorry for my lack of screenshots.

OOooooppppps i just thought i didn't renew my Wincustomize subscription. BTW, i also thought that Object Desktop Subscribers don't have to ... :annoyed:

 

Though i manage to get the RIP 2007.suite, renamed it as RIP 2007.zip to extract gadgets but the clock gadget doesn't work 8C and i don't know why

Is there a special place to bring the gadgets under Seven pro ? Doesn't work neither from C:\Program Files (x86)\Stardock\Object Desktop\DesktopX\Gadgets\RIP 2007 Clock\RIP 2007 Clock.exe and neither from C:\Users\Public\Documents\Stardock\DesktopX\Gadgets\RIP 2007 Clock\RIP 2007 Clock.exe

Weird !!!

Pretty sure in order to get WinCustomize benefits one needs a subscription.

 

One should really archive one's apps and themes, etc.

Isn't the gadget part of DX? Or is that the widget?

Not a Widget but a gadget (done by Stardock) coming with the RIP 2007.suite

fwiw this one doesn't run on my Win7-64 either.  I haven't fooled around with the clocks much on Win7, but at one point I did try a few and I noticed that in general some work and some don't.  The ones that don't seem to come up with the correct time initially but then the hands don't move - probably what you're seeing.  So it wouldn't appear to be a French o/s thing.

It's running for me on Win10 x64.  I'll check Win 7 x64 and get back.

Exactly the same for me

Could depend on the DTX version I suppose.  I'm on the older non-pro 3.5 version, I think Jim's on a newer Pro version.  I'm just throwing that out in case it's useful - I'm not interested in getting my own non-working stuff to work.  I installed DTX this time around with the approach of "If something in particular works - it works, if it doesn't - it doesn't."

Dave, matters not for gadgets. Gadgets work even if you don't have DesktopX.

BTW, I just installed Win 7 x64 in a triple boot rig.
