I really hope StarDock puts effort toward updating this and fixing the bugs people have reported. Unlike most of the OD offerings, which are just eye candy (not that I'm knocking them; we need eye candy), Enhanced Dialog is an actual productivity tool. I, for one, have needed (not just wanted) its function for years. PLEASE don't let this program languish in obscurity like ObjectBar and DesktopX did for so long. ED is a potentially GREAT produ

Patience? The bugs have been going since the wonderous launch of the new site. My account has been stripped down to something so low I can't even see the access level! I only get 5 skins per page, at the miniscule thumbnail size. Do you have any idea what those non-"enhanced" thumnails look like at 1200x1600? I've been a loyal ObjectDesktop subscriber for four years. Come on! Get on the ball. Stop adding "cool new f

Major bugs with Enhanced Dialog. I thought you'd want to know that, like Jim, Enhanced Dialog breaks things upon install. Last week I installed ED on my WinXP Pro SP1 box and continued working as usual. Shortly I discovered that Norton AntiVirus 2004 had been disabled (turned off), and would not re-enable. The same thing happened with Javascript support in IE 6. The IE security settings showed JavaScript was enabled, but nothing would
Thanks, Skidogallard. I knew to try that--or at least thought I remembered that that was the way to do it. However I don't get the typical dock entry menu when I r-click on it. I get the SysStats menu, with Configure, Load, etc. I fixed it, though. Your suggestion prompted me to just create a new clock and remove the malfunctioning (should have been) chrome clock. So, thank you!
Great series, Mormegil. I just wanted to give you a ping that The Design Weblog featured your series in this week's "How-To's Day" tutorial feature. Link
Many of the article links on this site don't work. In the "newest articles" section is a story entitled "first spam now spim." Try clicking it to see what WinCustomize.com's 404 page looks like. Many of the links in the Icon-a-day index on the home page go to the wrong parts. Just wanted to let you guys know about these issues.
I'm sure this is probably a very simple thing to solve (crossing fingers), but it's always the simple stuff that trips up power users. I have a sysstants analog clock in an OD, which ran beautifully with its default skin (the one with the chrome border and clear crystal on white). Last night I applied a new IconPackager theme, and suddenly my clock is radically different. The face image is completely gone--everything is except the hands and th
