Reply to Ubuntu Linux Master: Make Linux More Like Windows! in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

It's obvious that Mark Shuttleworth , among others, just doesn't get it. Eye candy is not what the world needs to make Linux a viable OS replacement on the corporate or home desktops. KDE and/or Gnome do a fine enough job for most users (of course power users like to tweak). What Linux needs to be successful is better / more fool-proof installation shells for applications ! I consider myself very technically inclined (24 years experience w

Suite Artists Where Are You? in Suites WinCustomize Forums

I have no graphic arts ability myself so I have to rely on the kindness of others for my OS customization fix. But what's happened to all the suite artists/authors? There hasn't been a new suite added to the library in over 3 months. Yes, I know I can run various different Windowblinds / ObjectDock / Bootskin / etc. themes without them being compiled into a suite, but I really enjoy having one consistant theme throughout the various Object Desktop components. Maybe suites ou

WindowFX 3.0 Choppy / Slow with nVidia GT6600 in WindowFX WinCustomize Forums

I'm running WindowFX 3.0 (Registerd w/OD subscription) and am really dissatisfied with the performace with transitions, animations and window dragging.

XGL / Compix like features for Vista? in OS Customization WinCustomize Forums

With Vista supporting a 3D accelerated desktop environment, will Stardock be developing something similar to XGL / Compix (which is currently only for Linux) but for windows? If you don't know what XGL / Compix is, check out this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuW9SiA8hNo Of particular interest to me is the virtual desktop (which can be on a cube, octogon, etc) and the Expose type features.<

Reply to Wah, I don't want to give up that feature... in Websites WinCustomize Forums

Yes, thank you for keeping us informed. Can you shed any light on 2 issues I'm having? 1. The tab bar at the top of the site will show that I'm logged it but sometimes I still get the ads, smartwords, and am unable to complete tasks as a member (such as posting a comment to this article). 2. Quite often various libraries (most commonly Screenshots) are completely missing from the Gallery page. The page seems to render fine otherwise,

Can't move docklets in ObjectDock WinCustomize Forums

I've been running Object Dock Plus (Registered) for quite some time now without any major problems. However I decided to rearrange some of the icons today and I can't get them to move! When I click and try to drag the icon, it just flashes grey once and then doesn't have focus any more. It never moves even 1 pixel. I can't even drag the icons to the desktop to delete them. And yes, I was dragging to the DESKTOP, I didn't have a program window in t

Reply to Thoughts on DesktopX's future in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

Well here is an opinion of someone who is not (and does not want to be) a coder, developer, graphic artist, etc. I'm just a consumer who appreciates great content. I've been an Object Desktop / WinCustomize subscriber for about 4 years now and as yet I still haven't seen a DesktopX theme that has really wow'ed me. Oh, some come very close (Oxidized Desktop) but it seems that 95% of what is available on WC in this category are barely more t

Reply to DesktopGadgets.com launched in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

I guess I can understand the need to jump on the latest gadget hype, but I sincerely hope this new site will overlap and not surplant wincustomize.com for widget/gadget/desktops. We already have a great site, I don't want to have to go to yet another site to find the latest & greatest.
