Reply to Flyout Menu question (perhaps suggestion) in ObjectDock WinCustomize Forums

By the way, a tip I should add...if you hold click when you're clicking on a folder in a flyout, it will open it up rather than continue to fly it out. I guess if I don't add that "stop levels" option I should at least make a note about that somewhere!

Reply to Reserving edge screen for dock, not including the tabs? in Docks WinCustomize Forums

Hi jimmy - yeah sorry that isn't possible at the moment. My best bet for you would be to rig it somehow...e.g. have a 2nd tabbed dock or zoomer dock, have that reserve the edge, and have that take up the exact size you want it to. From there if you back away the tabbed dock from the edge by a pixel, it won't autohide, and you'll have basically the same effect. More advanced drag & drop isn't possible yet such as dropping on to folders on the dock, I'm hoping to get more advanced fu

Reply to DeskScapes 1.01 Released - Introducing Dynamic Dreams! in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Some help to those who's existing Dreams weren't automatically moved over for them! Try the following: Open up the run dialog, enter in the following and press enter: "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Stardock\DeskScapes\Dreams" This will take you to the old place Dreams were stored. (That above path is equivalent to your "C:\ProgramData\Stardock\DeskScapes\Dreams" where "C:\" is the drive Vista is installed onto) Do the same with the following: "%HOMEPATH%\Documents\Stardock

Reply to Reserving edge screen for dock, not including the tabs? in Docks WinCustomize Forums

Hi jimmyyy, are you still having the problem of tabbed docks autohiding not on the edge of the screen but pushed in a bit, when reserve-edge is used? Had a hard time being sure of what exactly the problems were being described on this thread ; A screenshot would likly help!

Reply to New DeskScape and DreamMaker Updates in Animated Wallpapers WinCustomize Forums

Good news guys, we figured it out. Had to do with DreamMaker. DreamMaker only needs to be 32bit so it is distributed as such...however it has a file in common with DeskScapes, specifically DreamControl.dll. So, when DreamMaker gets installed/updated after DeskScapes has been installed, the 64bit dll was overwritten with the 32bit one from DreamMaker, and DeskScape's switching would stop working. We're in the process of reorganizing this so that that doesn't happen! Thanks for r

Reply to New DeskScape and DreamMaker Updates in Animated Wallpapers WinCustomize Forums

Yep, confirmed that it is a problem that one of the files that the installer installed is a 32-bit version on some machines ; we're working to figure out why that is happening! Thank you for your patience while we work this one out, we hope to have a solution very quickly. In the mean time, I would recommend to uninstall and reinstall DeskScapes using Stardock Central to try and work around the problem. So, steps (1) Uninstall DeskScapes from SDC (you can leave your downloaded dreams in

Reply to Dream Maker problem in DreamScenes WinCustomize Forums

Hi AzDude, No news on it ; it worked fine on the 64bit machines that I tested. This week I'm doing some work on the DreamMaker program however so I thought I'd hold off til I can get out a new release and see how that one goes.

Reply to Dream Maker problem in DreamScenes WinCustomize Forums

Ah sorry just read there. 64bit. I wonder if that has anything to do with it ; there's always the chance of some little incompatibility with 64 in the dreammaker that we'd have to work out. Will look in on that first thing tomorrow.

AzDude - 32bit OS? 64bit? Make sure DreamMaker.exe and DreamControl.dll are in the same folder and make sure the "run in" folder is correct. Lemmie know

Reply to SDMCP developers look here in Stardock Support General WinCustomize Forums

Hi dragonmage, fyi SDMCP is going byebye in the not so distant future. The tray handling has been completly rewritten to not use a separate exe, and so that it can hook in and look at current icons so that it never misses any. Hopefully this helps work around the issue that they're seeing with the program. And hopefully also the PAM developer will fix their stuff too so its not doing anything funny if it is, and everything will be good <img src="http://images.stardock.com/wc/smiles/Smil

Reply to Dock hangs with hourglass in Docks WinCustomize Forums

Hi Sherman, What kind of docklets do you have on your dock? I'd recommend heading into the Advanced Options and choosing the options to temporarily disable docklets. Reload ObjectDock and see if it still takes a while. If not, then there’s a good chance one of the docklets you're running is slowing it down. I've found "SysStats" docklets tend to do this...memory meters/cpu meters that kindof thing. If that doesn't do it, I'd try temporarily turning off system tray functionality

Reply to Right Click is dead? in Object Desktop WinCustomize Forums

Hi MadFooBar, Unfortunately the Shareware builds sometimes don't get as much attention as the full builds get. Sadly in this case it looks like we're not quite stepping with our best foot forward when introducing users to the program...it looks like perhaps that the last time the program was updated a new shareware build was supposed to be released as well...and that just didn't happen. The last-released full-version of RightClick on StardockCentral was v1.2. The good news, is
