Reply to question about WC subscriptions in Stardock Support General WinCustomize Forums

Thanks for the info! Since I'm not currently a subscriber, when I click on the "Subscriber Resources" link, I don't see those skins. In fact, I just get taken to this page - [link="https://www.wincustomize.com/subscribers.aspx?info"]https://www.wincustomize.com/subscribers.aspx?info[/link] Which just lists the different subscriber levels but doesn't name the skins or show screenshots. So thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Reply to Buy A Premium Suite, Get Winter Wonderland FREE in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

I love this suite! Honestly, I feel like we've entered a whole new (wonderful) era in skinning since WB6 came out. Money very well spent! Couple things though - 1. I had an older Blind called 'Winter Wonderland' by B Bull(aka Boopish) installed. It used to be on Wincustomize but it's not anymore. Here's a link to it at Skin Artistry[link="http://skinartistry.com/download.php?view.2357"] Link[/link]. Anyway, the premium skin conflicts with the older one. I (sadly) had

Paul Boyer's Icon Trilogy vs Vista in Icons WinCustomize Forums

I had finally made up my mind to buy Apogee and when I got to the site, I saw that I could get a bundle of all three premium icon sets by Paul Boyer. I'm interested in buying the set but I wondered about using the older sets with Vista. Apogee has been updated, right? What about Orion and Utopia? Have they been updated to include the 256 size icons that Vista is looking for? thanks in advance for your info!

Reply to Stardock Design Launches the Pantheon Premium Suite by Essorant! in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

I love this skin! Between this an Nuage I'm a happy camper. I do have one slight issue. I like the vertical taskbar on the right, and when I put it vertically, the tray doesn't extend to corral all the icons. It's always an Icon short. I have it double wide in the shot but it's the same if I resize it for just one row of icons - it comes up one short. Here's a screenie (I have the khado turquoise icons on in this shot. I think it looks great with the khado colors tool.) <br

Reply to Forum Bug Thread in WinCustomize Site Issues WinCustomize Forums

Here's how the forums look for me: Note that the titles in the blue boxes on the left are uneven in addition to the spacing problems in the forum headers. I'm using Firefox 1.5.0.6 at 1280 x 1070. Desktop Display fonts are set to normal size. My Firefox fonts are set to to use Arial with a minimum font size of 16. The main wincustomize page has spacing problems too but that's another thread.

Reply to GUI Championships - Participation.. in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

I think a novice event is a great idea! Lots of competitions have them to encourage new skinners. Let there be an open event where people can take on all comers and a novice event for people who've never entered before. (Or maybe just never won before. I don't know the size of the field.) As for letting the Stardockians in -- I'd have say, no. It's just asking for headaches. What do the contest sponsers think? IIRC, the previous events had p

Reply to Can I change icon for Recent Documents? in OS Customization WinCustomize Forums

Ok, I have the same problem with my recent documents icon not changing. Here's the thing, though. I've found the "recent" folder like you describe above and changed the icon for it manually - but the default windows folder icon still sits there unchanged in the start menu! Is there anything else I can try?

Reply to WinCustomize: What happens next in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Wow! This sounds like a really thoughtful and well-balanced approach. I'm impressed by the way you're working to tailor access to the site without shutting out newcomers altogether. And it's great that the affiliate skin authors can see a bit of a bonus in their revenue too, down the road. Can you say a little more about the new priveleges that Contributor Access provides? Overall, this plan looks completely solid. <img src="htt

Reply to Subscription Drive: Status report in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

My .02 - I'm a SD customer. I bought Object Desktop, Natural Desktop, & Object Dock Plus in the last few months. I'm not a subscriber. 1) I'd be more likely to subscribe if I knew the money was getting shared with the actual artists. I understand SD is providing the bandwidth - but if the artists weren't providing the free goods, it'd be game over. I'd be more likely to subscribe if I knew all the artists were getting even a little somethin

Reply to Object Desktop in action in Beginners WinCustomize Forums

I never thought about using Object Desktop on different systems until I read this article. I have a tiny little tablet pc - it's a HP tc1100 with a 10.5" screen. I often use it in slate mode (no keyboard) and I often switch the screen between vertical & horizantal. I just realized while reading this that designing my own taskbar and rightclick menu, and virtual desktops, would really make my life easier on my tablet!
