'gaming' notebooks anyone?
For years I had been building my own custom 'gaming rigs' (powerful desktop machines that required me to sit in my basement office whenever I felt like playing a game).
Fast forward a few years with the advent of HDMI TV's and video cards/cables capable of connecting to them easily I began my exodus from the 'basement dungeon'. My wife and kids began finding my powerful desktop gaming rigs sitting in the family and/or living room(s). Suddenly the...

Moral Ethics of Violence
We as people

When we look around, we evaluate people and things around us. We use information get got from our

their children to watch out for black people.

Skinning Win 8 parts
Been skinning Windows 8 for a while now.
Can´t find anything in SKS on how to skin these parts, not even for that blue selected color have I found a place to change it...not even deep in "Change win7/8 colors"
Surely there is a fix for this or something in near future updates as these parts are the absolute biggest visual issue in the Explorer frames for Win 8.
I mean those white parts are right In Your Face![]()

WindowBlinds Software Information
I always get these comments or similar, especially on WindowBlinds skins; "How do i apply/use this skin ?"

Icons will not drag.
I am running Windows 8.1 and, like others, am having trouble with not being able to drag an icon from one fence to the other. I see there is a Fences 2.11 beta which is suppose to take care of this problem and is available for download. I set up an account, but somehow cannot download 2.11. It just goes in circles. Can you help?![]()

Fences v2.11 Beta Update Available
The betas can be downloaded via the store accounts page (https://store.stardock.com/myaccount/products/) or Stardock Central (if Show betas is enabled).
Fences addresses a drag and drop issue with icons on the desktop with Windows 8.1, as well as a similar (but unrelated) issue for some customers who are also running Stardock's DeskScapes product.![]()

Can Tabbed docks do this?
Dear All,
Tabbed docks:
When clicking at a tabs name you can see the tabs contents
according to that name.
Is there an option to activate Tabbed docks
by hovering the mouse over a tabs name instead of clicking it?
Thanks for any info.

White taskbar once in every few system restarts
Hi!
I seem to be having an issue where I would get a white taskbar once in every few system boots under Windows 8 (I'd say, once in every four restarts). There are two ways which I observed, that enabled me to regain the normal taskbar; either (1) reboot, or (2) re-apply the selected theme in WindowBlinds. I also have Start8 installed, if that matters. Is this a known issue?
Thank you very much!

Window blinds 8 and taskbar on 2nd monitor problems.
Hello,
I have window blind 8 installed as well as the Windows 8 start menu, and have put a taskbar on my 2nd monitor.
When window blinds is running, there will be times (not all the time) that the taskbar on the 2nd monitor will keep popping up in flashing. The regular taskbar on primary monitor one that is provided by Windows does not exhibit this behavior.
When I unload window blinds 8 this stops happening.

Automatic Burger Machine: Coming soon to a McDonalds near you
As pressure mounts to raise the wages of fast food workers, advocates may want to take note that such wage increases eventually pass a threshold where it makes financial sense to simply invest in automation. As Grocery Store cashiers learned, these jobs are not a given. We are all competing not just with each other but with robots.
