Reply to Tiles: Missing all menu text + configuration menu text in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

[quote who="Philly0381" reply="13" id="3039639"]Ashtefere, leaving out the fact that there were two monitors in the set up in the OP no doubt was important information. [/quote] It was left out because im not running in multi monitor mode. The laptop display is disabled, as I already stated in my post. You would know this if you read my post. If you don't have anything constructive to say, then shut the hell up. -Ash</p

For me the multi monitor menu is grayed out, and there is an option in the purchase section to "purchase multimonitor support". Not sure what version you are using. Either way, it should work on a fresh install out of the box without issue, especially when it is a virgin install. It does not, thus I'm not going to buy it. -Ash

Ok, I just worked it out. In stardocks efforts to make money they have put in some hooks to make multi monitor support a "feature". In doing so, if you have more than one monitor attached, even if only one monitor is "switched on", then the extra monitor shows no text. In my instance, I have a 14" laptop. Attached is a 24" monitor. The laptop lid is closed. Only the attached 24" display is active, and

Yeah same as stbrock. SFC reported no issues, all files are fine. Of note is that the font used by stardock tiles config app and the skin is not actually a windows font - so I can't actually be missing it if it was never installed. This seems to be a custom/third party metro font that is either missing or the wrong size. Perhaps your latest installer has a few regional language bugs or something in it? -Ash

As it says. The running tasks show text, the shortcuts show text, but the skin text and configuration menu text does not appear/show/work. Perhaps there is a missing font? I have only installed the stardock free version, no previous betas. I would really like to use/buy this product, but I cant see any text so... cant config it at all. -Ash

Its ok, I just tried the free version of nexusdock to try solve some of my issues. To be perfectly honest, the free version of nexusdock just annihilates both versions of objectdock that I paid for. Oh well, lets see what the next version of objectdock brings (if we ever see it). -Ash

Ok, I found out whats going on. The current impulse installer is sending out objectdock v2 with CORRUPT dock64.exe files - they are borked. Tried on 2 different machines with 2 different installs, and repeated the install on my laptop. All sent out the same corrupt dock64.exe file. SO - as a workaround I copied the dock64.exe file from objectdock 1.9 to the objectdock 2.0 folder and all seems good (except for certain tray ic

ObjectDock on X64 Systems... lolwut? in ObjectDock Stardock Forums

Ok, I have an observation. When running objectdock 1.9 on 7x64, it says "no, you cant use the system tray". Ok, fine. So I boot up my objectdock 2.0 preview. That HAS the systemtray, but no thumbnails for explorer windows. So thats a dealbreaker too. So, I think to myself, screw it. I prefer app thumbnails so I close objectdock 2.0 and reopen objectdock 1.9 and LO AND BEHOLD THE SYSTRAY IS RUNNING JUST

Re-installed skin studio and is ok now. As a side note: It took 3 reboots to get blinds 6.1 to skin windows properly. This product still feels very "alpha" to me. In my country it would not have been allowed on the shelves. Anyway, lets see what I can cook up now that its all working. -Ash

Ok, so I updated to WB 6.1, and now I can see my address images. Unfortunately, skinstudio has stopped working altogether. X-( Is there a "skinstudio 6.1" or something that I should be using? the download page only has 6.0 available. -Ash

Reply to Search and Address Field Background in SkinStudio WinCustomize Forums

Well, I have downloaded a WB skin that DOES do this properly, went into the UIS file and copied the code, changed the image location (only mod to the code) and it did nothing. Still no image. Really getting frustrated at this. As bad as skinstudio 5 was, at least it worked. I have to tread through WB6 like a minefield lest it breaks my skin and I need to start again. Surely it isnt meant to be like this? I have reinstalled many times... Or is the address bar skinning a "pay for o

Righto. I thought it would be obvious that I was trying to skin a Vista only feature, and consequently I could only be doing it in skin studio 6. Anyway. Im talking about the address bar and search bar in windows explorer (skin studio 6, vista 64) Does anyone have a problem with this as well as me? -Ash

Search and Address Field Background in SkinStudio WinCustomize Forums

Hi all. Is there some kind of trick to this one? I apply an image to the search and address field background, and it does nothing. No change what-so-ever. I have set the margins right, I can skin just about any other part... but this one will NOT skin. Its really making me angry. Any ideas? -Ash
