I love reading about this stuff because I learn a good deal, but also see that there won’t be any victory over this scourge which constantly mutates, just like antibiotic resistant germs. I’m amazed that Darwin’s principles apply even here.

The report discusses how botnets are spreading despite high profile take downs and how they are spreading the as yet unconquerable (irreversible) Cryptolocker ransomware.

It also talks about how spam has learned to disguise i...

So I did some holiday shopping on Cyber Monday and picked up a great HDD from Newegg.

It was an OEM drive so I decided to take my Windows 7 PC to my local PC Shop for the install.  I currently run WindowBlinds, IconPackager, WindowFX 5, DeskScapes 8, DesktopX and Fences. 

I had DeskScapes running with the fantastic Dream InsidiOS by ChaNinja and Windows Aero Midnight.  Fences has the Icons hidden.

Well the install went well and both Techs commented on the DeskScapes theme...

My day job is in Michigan at the Stardock building in Plymouth (just outside Ann Arbor).  But we’ve got a bunch of activity going on in the Baltimore area with the launch of Oxide Games and Mohawk Games.

Rather than living in hotels for weeks at a time, I decided that we would buy a house in Maryland (Towson).  If you know any game developers or artists in Maryland who are looking to work on really cool stuff, apply here: http://www.stardock.com/about/careers.asp

A Solution – The Shorter Version

Phil Osborn  07/06/12, 11/16/13

(Note: I DO appreciate the ~200 comments so far, but how can I possibly read them all?  I have tried to skim or sample from the existing logjam of comments, but it will clearly take most of a day to sort through.  Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to deal with this so that important information is not lost and spam or completely new threads can be bypassed?  Thanks...   ...

I have been testing a lot of Win 8 PC's lately and I always install Start8 and when I format and reinstall Windows I thought it would have known I had already activated Start8 previously, but it now says I have activated it too many times, can I have it reset?

Thanks

Hi there,

what a great tool for an 'Obsessive Compulsive Personality' like me - but I think it would be even better if you would cater to my 'Design-Self' and consider Icon Alignment within the Fences. Currently they do the 'normal' thing and align left within a Fence. If I have some Fences on the left and some on the right it would be great to be able to align the icons per Fence so I can align the Icons on the left to the left and the ones on the right to the right -...

Hello,

 

I don't understand : the active language on my Windows 8.1 is set to French, but Fence is in English, I can't see a way to have it in French. I see that theer are translations inside the Lang folder but I don't know how to use that... ?

 

Thanks !

hey there,

 

i'm using windowblinds 8 with the 'electro sexual' skin and i'm loving it but i can't seem to find the right color to change.

i uploaded a picture to show you what background and text i mean. it does look great actually but you sometimes cant read text written on it.

i looked for it in skin studio and the windowblinds settings but didn't succeed in finding it

i'd be ok with changing the text colors in both cases, if they apply globall...

Hi,

 

 I have just paid out for Windows Blinds. I have installed it on a pc which is NOT on the internet (it is a studio pc). However, I cannot activate it.

I have searched through this forum and the FAQ's to find an answer, and none of them work. At no point does any of my software ask for a serial number.

I have WB6 installed, also Impulse, it works fine on my internet laptop, and when I install it using the same technique on my studio pc, it does not give me the chance t...

When trying to register my purchased copy of fences I've received this message several times now. I've tried loading and launching the program as Adminstrator and restarting my computer.
If I hit okay to the first error message it has (at one point) said I have had success but then when ever I try to create a fence it tells me my trial version has expired.

Hi,

As the title says I need activation reset please (Start8). I have reached my limit again since I've been having problems with my pc and had to reinstall windows. It's unfortunate that I can't use sig.bin on a newly installed system but then again you guys give fast support. Thanks in advance. Cheers
