Here's the set up: I'm playing around with the public release of Object Bar. I'm making my own bar for fun. It's a vertical bar. I have a container that holds my quick launch items. I have it set for icons only. I want the icons to display in a group with 3 across and 4 down. Instead they all display in a single line - 1 across and 12 down. How can I get the icons to group the way I want? Thanks!
Just curious - will Orion and Utopia Icon packages be updated to included the new icons that v. 3 recognizes?
Interesting article. It reminds of the Baen Free Libary. Link Baen is one of the largest and most important publishers of science fiction in the US. They offer a selection of books free for viewing online or with e-reader type software. You can download and read offline if you prefer. New books are added a couple times a year. Baen says that libraries are an enormous boon to authors because t
I like the new direction very much! Very easy on the eyes. One thing I miss from the old version was that you listed the newest submission. I like to see that rather than most popular, like the bar shows now. Just my opinion of course - it's not a biggie. Also, I'm still seeing odd tiling in the menus (viewing at 1260 x 1040 in Firefox)I could send you a screenie if you want.
is that version 1.31 for the Plus version only? C|NET still has 1.3 for the freeware version.
Looking good - very tasteful! ok - I'm using WinXP. My screen res is 1280 x 1040. I have large fonts enabled. I'm using FireFox. I was able to log in without any trouble. I had some screen spacing weirdness before I logged in (tiling graphics &I had to scroll horizantally, blech!) but logging in resolved most of that. The only problem I'm still seeing is that the background graphic for the "Browse Site" side bar is still tiling. It's only that
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! I'm still bitter that Corel bought MetaCreations Painter. I bought my PSP 9 upgrade just two weeks ago, thank goodness.
Opera skins please!
The poll that's currently running asks, "When it comes to buying software or games that you're interested in, what is the price point where you start to really have to reconsider whether you want it?" The bottom price listed is $39.95. I've got say though that even that amount is too high. I start asking myself if I really need a game or software if it's over $25. Now that doesn't mean I never buy software. I spent about $160 bucks upgrading my Office software just last week an
I have no interest in Object Dock and no plans to buy it but I would pay real money for a To-Do docklet like you describe!
As the original poster, I'd like to reiterate that I think Premium Skins is a fine idea. My issue was with the wording of the poll. Old news now but I still think that it was a mistake to frame the subject in those two options: support skinners or free skins forever. It's a false dichotomy. It's possible to want to support skinners but through differnt methods: free hosting, free advertising, donations and so on. It's valid to suggest that support for the skinners should be in
Your current poll - "Would you use Premium skins?" needs a few more choices if you want an accurate result. I vote, "It's reasonable for skins creators to charge for their work but I personally can't spend any more money on this hobby than I already have." There really are positions between "I like to support skinners" and "I don't like to support skinners."

wow - this was a great read. I really understand some of the issues better now - especially about the icon contests.

1. Vector Cell 2. Opulence 3. G-pod I'm in love with Vector Cell - it looks brilliant no matter what I'm doing. Opulence - I keep wanting to stroke the screen. Third choice - gah!! how can I choose? G-Pod - I'm more of a minimalist fan really but this one is the most usable effects-heavy skin I've ever seen. Special Mention - essorant for three colorful, clever and exciting completely different skins.
1. The Last Order 2. Pirate OS 3. Smile! I like simple, colorful, easy to read designs. If there were more of icosn, I'd probably vote for Seed but I feel sort of limited there. I love that design though. d3a is very classy but maybe a bit too grey? Really a tough call though - the icon competitors put on a terrific show! I think we icon users are the big winners here. Thanks very much, folks! :)
Lots of very impressive skins here but Impulse is the one I keep coming back to - I use EMP & Enkara a lot too. I never use Winamp open full out so I'm judging based on stick & shade modes. JMO, of course. :)
Congrats folks, and many thanks! ps - Vector Cell rocks in red!!
Hi - I have the latest WB & Icon packager, but not Object Desktop. I'm using the bluetooth software from Widcomm and it places a hideous icon on my Desktop with the caption My Bluetooth Places. It's a system folder and rightclicking on it doesn't seem to give any option for customizing it or deleting it. It just sits there being ugly. Icon packager changes some of hte other system folders, but not all of them. I can't seem to change the Windows folder for example.
we need a High Five! smilie! Congrats!

I want to thank the folks at Stardock & Win Customize for running The GUI Comptetition That Isn't Connected to The US Olympic Committee. I was a WB 3 purchaser but I never really got into. I happened to wander onto the site and saw the Competition was running and just for the heck of it, I checked it out ... WOW! I was just blown away by the quality and thoroughness of the icons and WB sk
ooooohhhhh, I get it! thanks. Actually I was going to upgrade but decide to save my pennies and get Object Desktop instead. Now that I've started skinning things I want it all
Hi everyone - here's my story. I'm using WB 3.5, registered version on WinXP machine. You know how in WinXP, there are certain special folders that windows more or less looks for:My Documents, My Music, My Pictures, etc. And there are special backgrounds for them - My Music has a music note, for example. I've noticed that the special background seems to have stopped being displayed. Now I've looked at the WB skins I'm using (Essorent's Skink) and I see that he has custom graph
