Hi guys, 

I have installed WindowBlinds 7 on my laptop running Windows 7. My problem is that when I start my laptop, WindowBlinds disables Aero although it applies the skin I had chosen earlier. Therefore I have to reapply the skin which enables the Aero automatically. Well, I don't have any problem in reapplying the skin but disabling the Aero leads to another issue. I have got Fences installed too which doesn't work without Aero. So on bootup, when the Aero gets disabled, all t...

Since we’re spending this month celebrating 15 years of skinning WindowBlinds, I wanted to find out what was the most popular download on WinCustomize.com.  From the best I can tell and confirm, Vista Plus Version 3 comes in with over 900,000 downloads since it was released in 2006.

It’s a little funny a Vista skin has been one of the most downloaded, but as some of you might remember the glassy look was really popular and many skinners created a bun...

Well…Google does come creepily close to “wrong!” in its ads as well in its network spying while photographing surroundings. They say they don’t actually read the email…but their ‘scanning’ isn’t to be taken lightly.

So, MS wants a bigger market share for “Bing”. Imagine if they called it, “Bang!” or “Bam!”?

To help get that share (they say Google decreased 10% and Bing increased 7%) they’ve started marketing merchandise. You can see it here. There’s a video here, as well a...

That is too bad, although I started using AIMP some time ago.

Everything on my Windows desktop has a dark theme (using Windowblinds).  Im considering on switch back to Internet Explorer (from Firefox).  However, it has this ugly white color toolbar; which sticks out like a sore thumb on my desktop.  Also, it doesnt even try to use the system scrollbars for some reason.  So, those stick out like a sore thumb as well.  I tried searching for a solution online; but couldnt find a definitive answer.

It's Thanksgiving!

And I have a lot to be thankful for.  In no particular order, here are some things that I am very very thankful for.

 

#1 My Wife and kids.

My wife and I have been together over 20 years. I love her so much. We met in college during an..incident in EE lab (you do not want me to work on anything that actually involves electricity).  Since then, we've had 3 wonderful children.  I am very thankful for them in ways that I think many can appr...

Happy Thanksgiving!

It has come to our attention that some people may have had issues with some apps and WB and opted not to tell anyone about it.

Obviously we would like to know about them so we can resolve the issues.

If you have had an issue with an app caused by being skinned by WB, please post the following information in this thread:

1) The app name

2) The OS you are using

3) The theme you are using

4) The problem you have encountered

5) If you did report it to support a ticket number wou...

Hello I just got a new 15" notebook with a high resolution display (2880x1620) which forces me to use the windows 8 screen scaling.

Now I've set it to 200% the problem is object dock is scaling with it but I want OD to reserve the screen space at the bottom.

 

Screenshot:

It reserves 33pixels but the icons are doubled in size and ugly due to the windows 200% scaling (256x256.png icons)

 

I'm using Windows 8.1

I'm finally breaking down and getting software (PC) that will allow me to dictate long texts.  Think short story length texts.  I have read the ads, and scoped out google/binged results.  Those of you who have actually used such software please share your advice, experience, etc?  This will asssit me in making a good choice.  Thanks all in advance.

We shop all year long. We’re addicted to it (some more than others)…men hate it, women love it (let the generalization slide, it’s true).

I read an interview with Kim Yarrow, Ph.D. in Medscape about this, and found it interesting.

I didn't go out to any stores on Black Friday.  I did pickup Battlefield 4 Premium and Splinter Cell: Blacklist for cheap though.  Otherwise, that was the extent of my shopping adventures this weekend.

For months I have been searching on and off for the source of some Windows sounds. Going through sounds and choose a theme without sound didn't work, I told Window Blinds not to use skin sounds, every where I could find something I turned it off. Now it is Christmas and I have my favorite widgets, gadget, and music running I don't want a noise when I close a window. Through reading on the web someone pointed out that individual items sounds can be...
