Reply to beyond frustrated with weather widgets in DesktopX Tutorials WinCustomize Forums

[quote who="willistuder" reply="22" id="2968892"]Those old weather widgets should be removed, as was indicated at the time of the feed cutoff. As Jim says, they give a wrong impression when someone downloads them, and they don't work.[/quote] Well yes, my thinking also when the weather.com feed imploded. Now, I just use the more recent widgets especially by RedneckDude. Also the OD weather docklets (which use accuweather), most gadget

Reply to Winstep Nexus Dock v11.6 FREE released in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

One thing I really like in Objectdock is the "Flyout Menu" option. Comes in handy when assigning sub-folders. The sub-dock option in Nexus is sorta like it, but.. aw, I'm just spoilt. On the plus side, Nexus has so many cool features missing in Objectdock.

Reply to Icon Packager Question in OS Customization WinCustomize Forums

Hi everyone, A related question, but in reverse lol. How can I convert IP icons into PNGs for Objectdock? I'm sure the answer is somewhere in this forum, but darned if I can find it. Tried Axialis, but it confounds me. Is there some other way to do this? Thanks for any suggestions.

Reply to If you’re not running Windows 7 64-bit yet, please do so soon in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

I've been running XP since it came, out. Tried Vista later, but it sucked. I paid a $50 premium for the 'privilege' of reverting back to XP instead of Vista & I've never had a problem since. Yeah, various testimonials swear that win7 is miles ahead of XP (not to mention Vista), but budgeting for it is a problem & XP still does what I want minus the bells and whistles Win7 provides, which I don't need for what I do.

It can eaiteher create a new achive each time or overwrite the last one." I didn't know this option existed under Advanced Settings. "Archive application before updating" in Advanced Settings should do the trick. Thanks, Zubaz gmc2 you might want to mention in the Tutorial that this option exists under Advanced Settings.

Reply to Impulse Archiving/Restoring Tutorial on WC Wiki in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Luckily, my other PC still has an earlier version of DeskScapes installed: the one where you right-click on desktop>properties>DeskScapes>apply. I want to archive this version but it doesn't appear on Impulse, which instead offers DeskScapes 3 and says 'previous version installed' under 'status'. But right-clicking on it won't give an 'archive' option for this previous version, only 'download and archive' for DeskScapes 3. Any ideas on how to find and archive the previous version would be

Reply to DeskScapes 3.2 Released in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

hmmm...I've no idea what an SDK is but If an SDK for effects is already included in the 3.2 download, why the separate link for a dynamic dreams SDK download? Are they complements or substitutes? My OS is XP and I'm relieved just to get Deskscapes running unmodified dreams without glitches, never mind the optional bells and whistles. What the heck does SDK stand for anyway?

Reply to Was Object Desktop just a rental? in Object Desktop WinCustomize Forums

[quote who="Bebi Bulma" reply="19" id="2554190"] Stardock will no longer be providing archives for expired Object Desktop subscriptions. I would suggest making the archives before your subscription expires. If that's the case, how many people really know about archiving and how to do it? Impulse should give some kind of prompt with this statement and instructions on how to archive and restore to remind users so they don't lose products they've paid for.[/quote] <

Reply to Arranging Icons and Tabs in ObjectDock in OS Customization WinCustomize Forums

No idea how to post an SS alas, but I organize my docks by function. e.g. the "Office" dock uses a fly-out menu for Excel, Groove, power-point,Access & heck - even Wordpad and Notepad. IIRC Fences and OD are substitutes, not complements. Plus fences screws up Deskscapes, not exactly an advantage. I don't use Fences cuz OD does does it all, & with great eye candy.
