Time to let go and for Goodbye in Community WinCustomize Forums

I've been here an a subscriber since 2001 (user 51 of the freshly new Wincustomize) and used Stardock programs since Windowblinds 1.2. Seen many innovative things Stardock has done (one of the most profilic ones was the pityful abondoned DesktopX) and even more great skins by most talented skinners, most of whom just vanished unfortunately. I had my highs and lows with Stardock due to the direction some things and programs and support went, which are all past me of course. <

"Lack of plentiful and reliable energy is one of the top issues facing Germany. Renewables are unable to provide reliable energy needed to power heavy industry." Still nonsense and plain right-wing propaganda that is wide spread. Also NOBODY propagates here, that we can do only with renewables (at the moment).

"A great example of this is Germany which relied on cheap Russian natural gas. When the Ukraine war forced them to give up that source it devastated their economy and they're still trying to recover. " Nope, sorry. Still going relatively strong because we set up alternative sources very fast. The reason why for example the automobile companies struggle ist that they are still living in the vintage oil-age and have no decent electric cars.

Great release, guys. You can virtually have a modern tabbed dock now. :-) Working great for a beta. Cosmetical Monk here: The cursor change on mouse over on a tab should be different to that change/edit cursor.

There where times when this site used to be sort of a tech site with tech driven people. It mostly has grown to old or not so old men lamenting about the 'good' old times of windows 7/10 and keeping their steam driven tech as long as possible. ;-P

It is not the skinners fault though. There are parts of Windows that WindowBlinds cannot skin/recolor any more. So You get a whole inconsistent look. Black headers ond dark background in the headers in explorer as seen above is just one example.

Recently Installed NEVER up to date in Start Menu Products WinCustomize Forums

Hi, when setting up new software (new pc here, lots of installs) 'recently installed items' and even 'all apps' in Start 11 are NEVER up to date. Is there any way to trigger an update so I can add a newly installed app to the start menu immediately?

[quote who="PhoenixRising1" reply="6" id="3940352"]Pretty much this is what start 11 does in many ways. [/quote] And still most people here only use it to switch back to windows 7 startmenu-style. And this will remain 'til the end of days unless WindowBlinds finally is able to skin other menu-styles and skinners using that.

[quote who="Digicoma" reply="634" id="3938231"] Very nice blind. May I say it's really nice to have the color yellow (or a shade of it) be a big part of the theme. In my opinion there isn't enough yellow in themes. [/quote] Just here to say: Nice Skinny Puppy avatar. ;-)

You can't complain a software doesn't work with another that is HEAVILY changing and patching original system files. Heck, R11 ist not even able to restore the system to it's original state when uninstalling leaving the system in a mess. I had to restore from a backup I made beforehand.

This is the desktop of my main private laptop as of today. I have pretty much given up on Windowblinds as there are too many inconsistencies for me to bare And I don't want to be forced to use a Windows 7 style startmenu 'til the end of days to fit a skin. So I tweaked Start 11 to my liking (got rid of any dock-software as a side-effect) and keep my desktop clean. Rainmeter and some usability tools, that's it.
