ok, i was jsut wondering, thats the first time ive used auto update since upgrading to SP2 does anyone know if the stardock team is working complete that area in future WB versions?
has anyone seen this? it shows up if you have updates waiting to install and can windowblinds already skins it correctly or is it the skin itself that isnt doing it right?
I dont like this news, ive never liked the corel product interfaces and i sure hope they dont mess with PSP
this sucks non subscribers shouldnt be blocked from viewing them how can they see what kinds of sites they could make if they are whacked in the face with a DO NOT ENTER sorta message i was a subscriber but it lapsed because i cant afford it at the moment yet. bleh, whatever ill have to mow my neighbors lawn a few times to get the loot
@ DWATSON Hey Skins Factory, who made the icons and windows theme?
Frogboy, an easy solution would be to provide varying levels of subscription basic would be what OD is now $50 Enhanced would be basic + Wincutomize $60 - $65 Power user would be basic + Wincust + objectdock + cursorXP $90 - $100 and finaly Poweruser premium wich would include all apps regardless of when they were created and a automatic 2 year sub, excluding games of course $120 - $150 yes i do stand by that all the apps should be al
i would gladly pay $120 for the complete enhancement package including WinCustomize sub, excluding the games like Galciv and the others. it could be called Stardock SKIN-Central and would come with a two year sub not just one. because all of these applications ODnt + CursorXP + BootSKIN + ObjectDock ALL involve skins or skining of some format, that why i partially agree that there should at least be an option to purchase ALL skin related (either skin making or skin using includ
Has anybody discovered what the new WB 4.38 alpha features are? i installed it and can't seem to find anything except for it is extremely fast compared to 4.30 no extra options in the congig dialog??? am i missing anything
im no computer noob, lol i keep my system running in tip top shape i use numerous applications to protect against viuses spyware and other such things. i also disable every unecesary service on my machine to wich anything i use doesnt need. anyway this has become a very messy thread
Jafo, mine does that asell but if the start panel is displayed or an open folder the cpu goes up and this is on a fresh install of xp sp1 all updates and wb 4.3 final
That there is exactly my point, WNFX has not only shadow support defined by WB skins but other features seem to be more attuned to what a WB skin is doing. now that i think about it, it seems a few of you took this the worng way, thats fine its made me realize that even if this were to happen i guess some of you are not ready. as both WINFX and WB are even more developed to be less and less resource happy i will bring this up again maybe when Longhorn is RTM lol then maybe the
Thas why my idea to keep the executable files seperate not entirely coded together except for control, like say if the FX part failed it would shutdown and leave WB stable and intact. now i know thats basicly how it is now, but the things is if everyone that had WB also had the options and features of FX by default i think the possibilty of newer and newr content for it being created to be alot better than it is now. i mean im bored with the stuff that is on Wincust for it lol.
that is a huge security risk in my opinion having the style files be EXE's
lol this is jsut a discussion about an idea, maybe if i was a stardock programmer i would understand your last statement. Kona, why exactly do you thinks its a bad idea? China, I to think it could be easily done, and its not like the options/features of WindowFX need be on by default if the code was merged into Windowblinds. It would just be another section in the WB configuration utility, they could if necessary still create an individual exe and extensions but it aou
Ive noticed that WindowFX while an amazing app doesnt get the attention it deserves. there isnt that much content for it even tho its been around forever. it has options to use shadows defined by wb skins but are there even any that use that? i personally think if the code was merged into WB it would survive much better and possibly the functions and features it has to offer could be ebtter put to use. comments and discussion would great but please no flamming
i think that sdmcp.exe's used resources should be added yo wbload.exe's because if no stardock app is installed sdmcp.exe is not there and not running lol and it runs no matter if a WB skin is loaded or not, dont get me worng i love WB and will die to uphold its reputation but be a little more honest. on my system Wbload.exe runs at 620k - 1000k if you add sdmcp.exe's resources of 2,200k - 3,900k you get a maximum combined resource useage of 2,800k - 5,000k <A HREF="
why are all the newer apps from stardock only downlaodable on download.com? and if this is a week old then download.com needs to really update thier pages because it shows it as v1.01 and the files are all named bootskin_free but should include the version number so people dont wast thier time downlaoding
I would like all to know that i did not intend on complaining about the price, didnt think i even mentioned it, i would have gladly paid 20 dollars for the complete set had i not already boughten the original skinpack but since ive paid the 5 bucks for it and if i want to extras from stardock for ALL four suites total i would have paid is $25. not the 20 dollars it costs for all four now. but aside from that, the complaint im making is that no offer was made (by stardock appare
I bought the 4 pack THE DAY BEFORE they switched it to seperate suites. i e-mailed them hoping for some clarifiction on wether i (and other skinpack customers) would be getting the opertunity to buy just the icons and walls and any oither suite specific additions that come in the future for a smaller combined fee so we dont have to rebuy what we already have. sadly i did not get a responce
ive sent e-mails to alexandrie and to webmaster@pixtudio but i dont think they are getting through. i just bought the abracadabra suite through BMT Micro, however since your server move i havent been able to download it. is the site going to be ready soon or is there another way i can get it?
WOW Thanks Ian, im so suprised lol, i didnt expect to hear something on that so soon, your the coolest programmer!!! I assume we will have to wait till RC3 for that to be included?
I have a suggestion for the preview feature. i noticed that when my screen switched to 640x480 my monitor made this screaming load screech. wich it doesnt do at bootup under the same resolution. i think its because of how highend graphics cards, Large view (18-25 inch)CRT Monitors and thier manfacturer suggested drivers operate under fully loaded windows control they dont like the unltra small resolutions. would it be possible to have the preview viewed in a 640x480 GDI window
Firstly id like to say this. man that sucks and know how you feel i format my hard drive at least 6 times a year because of problems. secondly i would like a real figure of what it would take to not only replace all of your current servers and thier backups, but also a completely secondary main system and its own backups that mirror the main serers in case both the main server and the main backups fail the sercondary server group can take over without missing a step, and since
here is my opinion firstly the LX price should be 129$ retail, 79.99$ for current Object Desktop users. the retail price of 129 should include a standard one year subscription to Object Desktop, and the 79% upgrade for current OD users should add a full year to thier current subscription starting AFTER thier curent one expires. secondly the standalone objects should be allowed to be traded just the same as all other stardock skins are now, however the non commercially
