OD2.1 Minimized apps not previewing correctly

$
0
0
Was testing 2.1 before I upgrade and loving new drag to launch feature but there's one showstopper change I've found. In 2.1 you can no longer preview minimised applications correctly. When hovering over open app in dock the aero preview only shows the top bar rather than the app window. This showed correct preview in 2.0 versions. I've tested on 2 separate win 7 x64 machines with same results. Any idea if this is being worked on or is this expected behaviour now?

A few nice things to have in Fences

$

I'm loving Fences more than I thought I would, but two things so far are standing out.

 

1. It would be nice if I could adjust the icon spacing within a fence (global or per fence)

2. It would be nice if I could change icon size in each fence independently of other fences or the main desktop.

 

I know #2 is asking a lot, but #1 should be doable.

 

 

WindowBlinds for Windows 8

When will we get WindowBlinds for Windows 8? Windows 8 has been released for a couple of months now.

Not only WindowBlinds, how about other software in the Object Desktop for which I paid and can not use?!

 

Many of us have paid a yearly subscription and for those of us who 'upgraded' to Windows 8 upon release, and those who had the beta versions for longer, we have not been getting our money's worth!

 

Please please please Stardock, get WindowBlinds and othe...

The most enjoyable book you've ever read that people you like and respect really trashed

We invert the last question--so instead of a book you've really hated that friends recommended highly to you, now we have a book you ended up liking a great deal, that friends and such panned.

 

I'd have to go with the fourth part (book) of Gulliver's Travels. Back in junior high (which for those of you who aren't USian, means about twelve to fourteen years of age) I read the version in my school library. It consisted of the first three parts of GT, but not the controv...

How do you add WindowBlinds exe to MacType?

$

Hey all,

 

I like to use a program called MacType to help with font smoothing, but I can't figure out how to allow WindowBlinds access, or actually allow MacType access to WindowBlinds.  When both are running, and I open MacType I see WindowBlinds is excluded with a status of "Ignored(disabled)", and it only shows under "inaccessable system processes".  Does anyone know how to get it to work?  Without MacType any fonts in any skins just looks bad to me.

Icon movement animation

Hello,

After using Fences for a while, I wanted to know if there is any way to disable the animation of icon movements. For instance, if I move an icon out of a fence, all subsequent icons show a very slow animation of moving back 1 unit.

Specialized Google and bing searches which yield “instant” answers. Pretty neat.

Was casting about for something which might help folks, when I ran across this in “How To Geek”. I compared Google with bing and ran into no differences, but I didn't test all the searches in the paragraph detailing them in Google.

Turns out Google and bing have these instant answer things built in, and there will be times when they will help. Guaranteed. For instance, I was talking with my son on fb, and he asked me about the weather here (he’s in Tel Aviv). I...

Question on versions

Received email announcing Objectdock 2.1 but looking at the Stardock Central Installer, the only thing that shows available for download is Objectdock plus version 1.90.  Are they different products, interested since I'm using windows 8 and the 2.1 version says it supports it, not sure about the 1.90 version.

 

Thanks.

ObjectDock v2.1 working but I cannot access the settings

I've been waiting for ObjectDock to be updated for Windows 8 as I love the idea of having a Mac-like dock so when I got the email this morning I immediately bought and installed it. It seems to be working in that there is a dock at the bottom with icons that appear and disappear as I open programs from my Quickmenu in the taskbar and I also have a menu at the top of the screen (Programs, Documents, Links and Other).

However, I am unable to access the settings to customise it. When I click...

Bug Report? Taskbar

$

I've linked a partial screen capture to illustrate what is happening. Maybe there's a configuration option that would push the small icons up a few pixels, but if not, then I guess it's a bug? I'm using the Diamond skin, as you can see.

On the plus side, the install went smoothly, it's playing well with other Stardock enhancements that I use, and it doesn't break Otakusoft's DeskSpace.

I have installed the windowblinds 8 after having unistalled windowblinds 7 and it starts up with a welcome screen telling me to unlock previous purchase.

When i fill in the license number it tells me its from an old instalation. When i try to shut down the  registration page the program shuts down.

I have tried cleaning the Windows registry and it didnt help. and i have just renewed my object desktop a month ago.

WindowBlinds 8 Feature Request

Might I ask for an added function. I'd like to see the name of the skins in the previews without having to mouse over the preview. That's just me.

 

Being able to store the WB skins in a different location would be awesome as well.

WB8 questions

well first, congratulations for rolling your new WB beta.

I'm pretty happy with my current OS (win7), WB (7.4) and SS (7.3) versions. Not looking to ever upgrade to win8 I'm wondering of what specific advantages would upgrading fromWB7 to WB8 provide for skinstudio creations.

Are you all planning to upgrade skinstudio and phase out WB7.* as has been done in the past with other versions.

is it possible to provide better graphic previews of win8 elements, in skinstudio, for t...

I'm using Fences 2.0 Final, the Exclude this icon from Fences' quick-hide context menu is missing from icons outside fences. Is this intended? Because the original Fences can exclude icons from quick-hide even if they are not inside a fence.
