Using Windows 10 Pro and all my dreams do work, although there are definitely some issues, although I downloaded a free codecs pack from MajorGeeks to make this happen.

Tasks View is an essential component of Windows 10; I have no choice but to choose essentials over candy until Stardock fixes this issue. I'm quite sure that Stardock has their hands full with Windows 10 glitches and this will be fixed in due course.

[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="96" id="2754228"] Looks like I'll just have to break down and purchase another key from Winstep Why feel bad about supporting the developer of an app you enjoy using so much? Incidentally, you can get a Free Nexus and it has a weather docklet. [/quote]Never said I felt bad about it. Disappointed, yes. Legit software should work correctly and shouldn't be regarded in the same light as a beta, where one expects gliches and corres

Reply to ObjectDock Weather Docklet not working anymore in Stardock Support General WinCustomize Forums

I'm using Windowss 7 and have OD Plus, and the weather docklet gives the same temp and forecast day after day. Thought I'd give OD Plus another try since I lost my registration for Winstep xtreme. Not to be untoward (I do have my opinions and preferences), but WorkShelf smokes OD Plus in many ways. I've allowed OD through my firewall and tried the various fixes here with no success (which I shouldn't have to do for software I paid for). Looks like I'll just have to break down and purchase ano

I love to see Xtreme recognized; I've been a major fan for years and not to bash Object Dock Plus (which I also have), Xtreme rules. People can always download the trial and if they like it, buy it. Hey Tiggz, what I see is pretty awesome, first class! (There goes my spot at Winstep.Net).

Somewhat away from the point, I'm reminded of the term, insurance poor, when I think of software. One could have too much insurance, can't afford the premiums paid out every month, but there's always room to sell him more. The same with software. We have our critical programs - antivirus, firewall, spy, perhaps registry and office. Then we have the stuff that's eye candy, or programs that make everyday pc life a little easier, too numerous to list here. If you're a skinner, the needed programs

If you have the machine for it, Vista Ultimate is way cool! I have one laptop with Ultimate and another with XP Pro (it's hard to let go of the old ways). Any illegal software is risky business at best and ill advised; it's just not worth it.

WindowBlinds & IconPackager in Windows Vista WinCustomize Forums

Will there come a time when WindowBlinds and IconPackager will be able to take on the changing icon in the start menu? In addition, will Icon Packager be able to eventually show folder contents? Or is this something that's never gonna happen? Just wondering, as these features are way cool.

There & Back Again, or be careful what you wish for - I prefer a notebook, it's like easy reading. I tried Vista Ultimate. It has some cool stuff, like folders icons which show their contents. The security is amazing, like big brother watching your every step. But unless you have a new Vista ready laptop with a high end video card, your out of luck. I scored well in all categories except video. I could only run aero basic (yuck!). Sure, the games were

The safest road is, permission, permission, permission. Having said this, I feel that credit given should be sufficient. When I upload a poem or it is published in a periodical or quarterly, the copyright is automatic. I can use someone else's words or phrase within quotation marks, add a footnote stating who the quote came from, and this is legal. I'm not stealing his stuff and passing it off as my own. I can even receive payment for my work, and I do

Reply to A Challenge To The 'Ruder' Critics in Community WinCustomize Forums

There are two forms of criticism: Negative and positive. Criticism in any form can be a hard lump to swallow, and in its most positive form, it is only praise without meat, and the artist walks away with nothing but a pat on the back. In its most negative form, it offers nothing constructive, and the artist walks away with a bitter taste, resentful. An artist honed by years of criticism lets the negative comment that points nowhere roll off his/her ba

Reply to Did you buy OD with PayPal? in Community WinCustomize Forums

I also use paypal extensively on ebay and I've never had a problem. The big internet credit card scare is overdone to say the least; it's easier by far to get your card from your trash or mail box. Food for thought.

Reply to Does Stardock do anything to protect its products? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

This is the first time I've seen a verification for WB 5. I'm no programmer, but it seems more difficult to crack something like this than just a simple activation by phone, as it requires an internet connection. I think if some other software companies only allowed activation via internet, there'd be a lot less cracked software to be had for nothing.

Kinda edgy, Ultimate. A lot of people don't even use Journeyman, Aprentice, Skinner, etc. with the right to do so. A good example is a master skinner who simply calls himself treetog. I believe your butt kissing is mostly hot air. This is the fairest site on the net. Try a positive approach and see where it leads you. The future site plans are concrete and well constructed, I may add.

WC has been my homepage for years. I used to hit the majority of customize sites, but they have ebbed away to the point where WC is the place for me. I come here daily. I renew OD every year to my wife's sighs. I suscribe. I haven't skinned for awhile due to time involved, but WB5 has the juices flowing; it's a major feather for Stardock. The staff and peoplehere are straight forward and honest, and it is a communal bloom amongst big buck boom sites. I

I wouldn't use vista if the beta was free - my notebook hasan adverse reaction to bug spray. I'll wait for the final release and then I'll wait some more, observing, inputting. As far as P2P, there's a nasty little virus that attaches itself to such freebie downloads and deletes all sorts of critical stuff, and no antivirus software can catch it. Just deserts. Beware all ye pirates. Besides, I'm delighted at playing with WB5 and quite content.

DX theme in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

Wondering if I posted my "Objects in Sliders" in the right forum section, seeing how there's no reply as yet... Anyway, there used to be a theme folder with one's name in the dx themes folder (the theme one was using at the moment), which is no longer present. One way I learned about skinning dx was to access this folder, which also allowed me to tweak certain aspects of a theme I downloaded. Case in point - I'd like to change the green in th

Objects in Sliders? in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

Going slightly back to DX themes like HE, there were sliders which had the ability to act as containers for shortcuts, scripts, layers, etc. Either this ability is no longer viable or I'm just not getting it. Upon loading themes like HE, I've opted to not load what has prompted as "better not load" and the sliders are no longer functional. It appears to me that the only thing I can do is to have a sider popup controlling a menu outside of the slider. A
