Reply to What is this process running ? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

With you pointing to Objectbar, I recall a leftover startmenu item not pointing to anything from that one. Guess uninstall (installed on of the first beta's available I think) messed up, suppose recent versions won't have this issue. Thanks.

What is this process running ? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

While cleaning up, I found this in the registry, at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run: a string value, "1A:Stardock TrayMonitor", loading "E:\Program Files\Common Files\stardock\TrayServer.exe". Process was actually running, but no SD products running on my system. I did test a couple since installing XP, WB, Objectbar and the Logon thing, all uninstalled. So, I'm curious, what does it do ? Mind you, no conspiracy theories in my head, just wondering and al

Reply to Is it really free vs. non-free? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Dor, yes, it's going to be a different story for Themebar now, it just left the playgrounds of the free beer contingent, that's their choice, and respected, I'm hoping. Integer told me he wouldn't be back here (as if he could resist if challenged...). He formulated some stuff I wholeheartely agee with here, can't resist backing it up (problably radicalize it, not his opinion). I like Brad, and while definately choosing to be part of the free beer contingent (thanks for that nam

Missed this one, wanted to stay out of anything really, but agree too much to stay quiet. If I even got a fight with frogboy/stardock, it's decent (may not have been that way on my part initially, but I've grown to respect...), different perspective indeed. So I didn't have a hard time figuring out the bad and less bad , this time. Can understand everybody calling anybody anything (even that), but need some

You're still used to throwing wise words in to deep space, shoggot ? Ok, clan defending SD/frogboy beyond the reasonable balance he puts up himself, usually, after a while - exploiting the real mistakes of "the other side" (yes, "nazi" ain't a nice word at all, and shouldn't have been expressed) is what really drives any community still alive apart. Seen some genuine attempts at gluing stuff together (crae, doreen, crumbut) just ending in: "he said that word,we'll never trust a

Just a reply to the last sentence (for the rest, no good, no bad, all good): you support development of freeware developments, find developers/people with the same aim, develop some real ideas/ethics by yourself, and in the end don't even feel comfortable with not paying for a MS product, pay for every OS update if you feel like running it. Seems being decent is the real revolution attitude nowadays ...

Last words from me (promise, wanna let it die, k...), if you like. I'm having trouble relating this silence to the "fuzz" about Iphile, CustomEyes.. copyright goes two ways. This was lending a hand, guess not appreciated. Hehe, I know, won't hurt much besides my already "doubting mind" ...

Agreed on length and coherency, crae, but not what I'm saying. Read carefully and/or stick with the last paragraph, just wondering if the whole librabry doesn't carry a part of last years morals, or something... Jafo, not so sure that would be welcome. Like I said, I'm not here to attack, but the idea is growing on me the older part of the library was put together by an icon enthusiastic, no bad intentions at all, just no permission asked. It's not uncommon, and wholeheartedly agree wit

I'm not trying to be an ass here, really. Grasshopper and all, yes, dearly (this for the few reminding me being anti-Stardock and all...), but don't wanna go that road, tiring and useless... ..but when desumu found this rip from Scrow in the IconPackager section (removed), and someone spread some concerns about using some of his glyphs here on the site (hey, he's a friendly guy, could well have given permission, it's not about that), me being an icon addict and all, I started browsing t

Make that http://www.virtualplastic.net/scrow/ Funny, SoftD set available in the archives too, credited to Scrow/Tal Sella. Did he place it there himself, considering the fact he makes IconPhile, competitor to IconPackager (free) ?!

Now I'm confused! This is not the teknidermy/skins for lost/small apps portal thing, right ? Old news, jumbles personal test/use for this kinda thing ? Sorry frogboy, but I've seen mentioned this was gonna be done for the more obscure stuff (and ofcourse, then I'm interested), now I dunno anymore...

Forgot, and not understanding too. Ok, so I submit my website as "evidence" of contributing (hurrah)... but what I wanted to say, what about those people not running a site, not developing an app, maybe not even skinning, maybe just taking, but posting their comments, encouraging, asking, questioning, ranting, giving opinion - I experience these kinda actions on my behalf as giving as much as anything else. It just becomes parasitic when people forget their manners and take it all for granted.

Heh, haven't read much lately (couldn't get in...), and skipped some comments - but something personal anyhow, about the parasite thing by Mr. Tandis... I was and will continue to express a feel for, and promotion of some "free spirit", indeed. I don't understand why that's parasitic. Personally, a couple of people and me do run a little website I try to put in some community-thing. You know, like promote other sites I feel are doing the same and all, help people and feel good

Heh, CygnusXII expressed most of what I'm thinking here. Some more, cause I think it's going two ways here. Revenue model is gonna rule and that's ok, worthwhile I guess and believe, really... ..but I'm not gonna pay. I just won't. Most people will, eventually. Some won't, and guess that will be some underground thingy or whatever... ..no, that's too easy. I really believe that "free" spirit kinda thing is not gonna die, but will live, and get stronger even, it just mi
