Reply to Wallpaper Tips: Resolutions in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

And, on the fringe, I just upgraded my system to a 3840x1024 triple monitor setup. Try finding wallpapers for that! What would be useful is if the wallpaper section on this site offered (forced?) the ability to allow uploaders to indicate available sizes, and offered the ability to downloaders to filter on size. I don't understand how any wallpaper site (this one, DeviantArt, etc...) can not provide this seemingly necessary and incredibly useful feature...

Reply to Installed WB5B.002, reboot and no desktop icons, taskbar etc in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

Nice to see I'm not alone. I am on WinXP64. This last version caused the exact same problem as Greglaw and Nuxx. The desktop has nothing on it. When logging in as administrator afterwards and uninstalling WB, I can log back in my usual profile. If I re-install, the same issue surfaces. I also use Ultramon and it fails to "set systray icon" like Nuxx. I guess WB is locking up something and Ultramon can't get its thing done. I use a local profile and classic domain style logon, as p

Reply to I really need help getting Windowblinds 4.90B to work...Classic skin everytime !!! in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

Much appreciated, Mike, but I don't think activation or my Stardock account was an issue. My Troubleshooting window has always stated "appears to be activated". As it is WB5 still doesn't work after whatever you did. Hitting "Apply Changes" has absolutely no visible effect, as if I didn't click at all. (Well, if in Classic mode. If in Windows XP mode it flashes a lot and ends up in Classic mode.) - alphadog

Classic-Skin Only in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

The newest beta of WB doesn't seem to want to display skins for me. Any skin selected results in the classic skin only. If I uninstall the newest, and install the older stable 4.60, it works fine. Config: Asus K8N-DL, dual Opterons 246s, WinXP64 (all patched up), 2GB RAM. WindowBlinds 5 BETA Troubleshooting Report: STATUS : WB+ SRV+ HLP+ UI+ WindowBlinds is not installed correctly on this PC.

Reply to Announcing Multiplicity in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Kobrano: I do understand what Multiplicity does. You're haughtiness doesn't help the product though. Multiplicity is basically a combination of K(no-V)M and some remote desktop features into a somewhat unique product. The K and the M are, in fact, shared, contrary to your protests. If you have one peripheral that can influence multiple machines, you are sharing that peripheral. At any rate, I read Frogboy other article and find

Not sure how big a market there is for this. How many people need to share mouse and keyboard but not monitors? Unless I am mistaken, it's a software version of a KVM. When you think of one person running multiple systems, it looks like Multiplicity is about sharing K and M. However, what most people want is to share the V, since it is the most expensive of the three. Especially when you escalate to four- or eight-way setups. What I <
