Reply to The Ultimate Letdown? in Vista Reviews WinCustomize Forums

I just find it funny. No where does Microsoft say how many extras would ship nor when they would ship. If they dont send any extras for 5 years so be it. They never said they would have a set amount of extras out a year or any extras out at any given time. They did say they would put out more language packs and release Deskscapes. Which they did. Other than that there is nothing that has been said about extras. If people buy the OS thinking that they will get all sorts of

Reply to OCC Skin in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

It all depends. Some of their theme bikes are for show. But they ahve done quite a few episode that are also based off bikes that are for riding. Like the 5 episodes where they did Fan bikes. Those were for riding. Plus the few episodes where they did the Production Bikes. Most of the bikes now are made for riding. They have included speeodometer, signals and all the rest of the stuff to make them street legal. Even the Intel bike that they did recently was street legal that way.

Reply to WindowBlinds 6 Beta Feedback in Stardock Support General WinCustomize Forums

They are not the only 2 that work. But they were the only 2 that i seen added upon install of WB6. I still have all my other skins that were previously installed. No sense of testing the Beta if i use skins that do not take advantage of the new style. (Blurred window) Okay i do have Molten. I am currently using Leo. I have tried Diamond. I will try out Molten next.

Reply to WindowBlinds 6 Beta Feedback in Stardock Support General WinCustomize Forums

Works good here. I had a problem at first. I had uninstalled WB5 then installed WB6 Beta right away no skins worked. I then uninstalled WB6, restarted and then install WB6 Beta and it worked. I noticed i only have 2 skins that work on this though. The Leo and the Diamond. I have seen people talk about a Dragon skin yet i dont have it?

Reply to No Vista SP1 This Year in Windows Vista WinCustomize Forums

We all knew that SP1 wouldnt be out this year. It took then over a year to get SP1 out for XP. Look at the development of Vista. It took almost 2 years to get it out of Beta. Beta 1 of Vista was July of 2005. The first build of Longhorn that got leaked was 2 years before that. There is no way that they would hammer out a SP in less than a year.

I can almost guarentee that this isnt supported in Vista. My only suggestion is trying running it in XP Compatability mode. If that dont work, cause of the missing DLL File, then it wont work and istn supported yet.

Well just an update. For those that come across this issue. Un-install WB5 thru Stardock Central. Restart. Re-install WB5. I had to reset a couple extra times to get my WLM Beta to get active again but it is all back to normal.

@Zubaz- The screenie shows what happens when i hit the Windows Key. If i right click it just goes to the windows behind it and makes it active again. If i do the unhide and always on top it just shows an empty space there. @Neil- I checked the ObejectDock settings and it doesnt have my Startbar/taskbar hidden. The settings are what i have always used with WB, including WB% Beta, and this is the first time i came across this. As for the
