Reply to WinCustomize 2007 Launches! in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Another site ruined. This only seeing 8 skins on a page in the gallery despite being a current Stardock customer sucks. It's not worth the time to look at those epilepticly-lethal flashing ads for 8 skins per page.

Reply to Adobe Indesign in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

SKOriginals : Yeah, that would do it, too. I haven't done much work in SkinStudio, so given that and the fact that I knew I was looking for a specific RGB color triplet, it was easier for me to hunt it down in code view than to figure out where system colors were located in that nested tree view on the left (which, for all I knew, could have been divided across multiple sections of the skin). <b

Does it happen on all skins? Technically, yes; it happens on ALL skins. The difference between those who notice it and those who don't are their choices of skins. You won't see the problem if the WB skin you use has dark-colored borders. In this image you can

WindowBlinds has caused this problem with InDesign and InCopy since version CS (October 2003). It doesn't happen to everyone, and not with all skins, but it does happen to majority of InDesign and WB users. Because that doesn't include Stardock, they ignore the problem.

Reply to ObjectDock 1.2 Released in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Jeff, Thank you for your message. I appreciate it. I understand exactly where you're coming from regarding your product being blamed for other applications' issues. I've been there. Without saying too much, I've dealt with many a complaint of an, uh, acrobatic kind of application breaking things with which it had absolutely no involvement, and even that all the UI eyeball icons in a certain image editing program spying on u

Why is it whenever someone is about to demonstrate their complete ignorance of how computers work they insist to the world that they have tons of experience at this sort of thing. Yeah, that was pretty foolish to begin my comment that way. Regardless of whether what I said is the truth, it was a dumb

Jeff, I'm an experienced technical troubleshooter with 3 years experience doing in-house white-box tshooting for one of the world's 5 largest software publishers. I'm capable of recognize when I've upgraded a product and not installed or changed any other program on the system inside a 2 minute period. I updated OD+1.2 simultaneous to updating to the latest WB and OB builds. Within two minutes of that combined action, all the prob

Reply to ObjectDock 1.2 Released in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

ObjectDock+ 1.2 caused a number of my third-party applications to fail to run, including Maxthon browser, Norton SystemWorks (crap anyway, but still), PowerDesk 6, WS-FTP Pro 9, ThumbsPlus 7, and several other applications. It also prevents Outlook 2003 from communicating with a browser (clicking a link in an e-mail causes nothing to happen). Even after uninstalling OD+, cleaning the registry, and reinstalling the above apps, I cannot use th

Reply to Object Desktop Trashes System in Object Desktop WinCustomize Forums

"you might try an earler version of IP" HOW? SDCentral only shows the most recent non-beta release and the most recent beta. HOW do you get to earlier stable versions? Is there an FTP server with prior stable releases available to Object Desktop Network subscribers? Is there a trick to get SD Central to display prior releases? Please, if you know how to get to those previous versions, tell me. I'm currently running the default Win

Need Older (stable) Versions in Object Desktop WinCustomize Forums

Where can registered ODN subscribers get ahold of older versions of the software? The last several updates--betas and non-beta dot releases--have caused numerous problems. Additionally, the SDCentral archive/restore feature isn't doing its job. So, where can subscribers download ODN component apps from, say, 3 months ago? Thanks, P

Reply to Photoshop CS2 and Enhanced Dialog problem in Enh Dialog WinCustomize Forums

Yeah, quite a few people have the same problem. Your PNG file isn't corrupted, it just isn't a PNG file. Enhanced Dialog prevents Photoshop CS & CS2 (and InDesign CS & CS2 in the Export dialog) from actually using the file format you've selected in the Save As Type list. Instead, it saves the file as the same type used for the last successful save--probably a PSD. If you rename the file extension of your PNG to PSD, Pshop will read it (or if

I've got the added problem that the systray in ObjectBar is blank with any version of DX3 installed. Everything was fine until I updated the apps two days ago, now I can't roll them back to make anything work.

Reply to OD Hangs on startup in ObjectDock WinCustomize Forums

Hmm. Nope. Not DX alone. It appears to be the MCP. One would think if StarDock is going to charge for OD over and above OD Network subscriptions, they would at least test apps against one another.
