Reply to WindowBlinds X64 Vista and Java Menu's in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

In case anyone's reading this, it occurs under Vista32 when using Eclipse as well. Both of those are SWT-based apps, I haven't noticed Swing apps behaving the same way. Screenshot here: http://picasaweb.google.com/Ron.Eisele/Screenshots/photo?authkey=HpP7pgHoET8#5224772120853484050 This isn't a new thing, I've noticed this for quite some time but haven't bothered to check into it or post a bug report. The effect is the same when the card is on default settings or oc'd. I also

Reply to I've just about had it NOW!!!!! in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

Seabass' post mentions laptopvideo2go. In case it matters, I used that site for years to get updated drivers for my laptop (HP zv5000 with a Nvidia GF4200Go chip in it), and never had any problem with them. Of course, updating drivers isn't something to take [I]too [/I] casually, so make sure you take appropriate precautions. Just wanted to add an endorsement for the tip. Cheers and good luck!

Reply to Installation Troubles - Extracting MoltenShutdownDialogButtons.bmp in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

The file that I referenced above was in the 'temp' directory. Zubaz, the 'Installed' directory only contained the 'wb6.log', not 'wb6.xml'. I removed the wb6.log (didn't see anything [I]obviously[/I] wrong in the log. Here's the last output in that log: Extract: C:\DOCUME~1\ntisre01\LOCALS~1\Temp\sdcentral\PublicDocuments\Stardock\WindowBlinds\Molten\MoltenShellStyle.xps_ 1 | 10/01/2007 15:27 Extract: C:\DOCUME~1\ntisre01\LOCALS~1\Temp\sdcentral\PublicDocuments\Stardock\Window

Installation Troubles - Extracting MoltenShutdownDialogButtons.bmp in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

Greetings, all. Long-time OD user here having some (first-ever) difficulty with WindowBlinds. Was getting some weird skin issues (WB6) and some of these forum posts seemed to indicate a good 'ol reinstall/clean would/could take care of the issue, so I went for it. Now, when trying to install WB6 from SD Central, it hangs at 'Extracting: MoltenShutdownDialogButtons.bmp'...tried to reget all the xml data, change server from US1 to US2, cleaned Windows' temp dir, nothing seems to shake it loose.

Anyone know what's new in WB 6? Anything for XP users? I tried searching for "WindowBlinds 6" using the search function up above but only found a screenshot by frogboy... Regardless, I've been more than happy with WB5! [edit] Never mind, google found some articles. Cheers!

I had noticed a marked slowdown in the arrival of new skins from those authors you mentioned...I had feared they were all 'done' with skinning. Good to hear so much exciting stuff is coming up!

Reply to BlueDev's PC media player smackdown - Part II in iTunes WinCustomize Forums

Great article, BlueDev...audio players are one of those things I think it's easy to get "locked-in" to one's tool of choice and forget that the other players are progressing all the while...this article reminded me that foobar has been around a while, so I gave it a whirl and am loving it. Yep, could have done it some time ago, but sometimes we all need a peek/poke in the right direction. Cheers! <img src="http://images.stardock.com/wc/smiles/BigSmile.

Reply to WindowBlinds Fall contest nearly over.. in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

I don't know that there's any sense discussing "x isn't in the same league as y" here as it's based on unique member downloads. Not that it was a flaming post, mind....myself, I always find myself liking brewman or essorant's skins, but they're all killer there in that list. Good to see some of the authors reaping some benefits...
