I am trying to get help Sins of a Solar empire and receiving no response.  I made a post a few weeks ago and was told I'd receive an answer by email - no response.  I sent an email to support two weeks ago, no answer.  Another email last week - again no answer.  On a separate issue, this one with regards to software registration of OD, I sent an email last week - and 5 days later nothing.

What do I need to do to get an answer from the support organization at Stardock? ...

Where's the Support?

I have purchased Fences and twice so far have submitted a support email request. All I get back is unhelpful "automated" replies giving me a ticket number. Thats it.

I have a simple question that needs an answer. Why after about 1 week do I not have one helpful response?  

The best software is useless without good support.

Hi all,

I'm just finishing up my latest skin "3D Blues" and after saving it shows up in WindowBlinds with the old preview images.

This is also true when you go to substyles, the wrong preview images show but in the main viewing skin preview window, the skin is right.

What can I do to make SKS generate those new images? I have done some searching but have found nothingn so far.

I also had this same problem with a previous skin I posted. It shows up in the Windowblinds list with a ...

Just wondering if the auto-colour matching and highlight on mouse over of taskbar buttons has been there since windows 7?

If the icon is mostly yellow, the highlight is yellow too, and likewise for all other colours.

Just a nice touch which I only just noticed!

In making my new skin I made an inset background for my per pixel frame Close,Max and Min butons. I saved the background as a .png so I could cut it into 3 pieces.

I also made a different image for the single close buttons using an inset background that was complete.

When I applied the button omages the normal ones positioned correctly but no matter what pixel amount I enterd, the single close button wouldn't move and was stuck in the border of the frame.

Hi i'm running windows 7 64x and having problem with Stardock Fences.

Every time I boot my computer it takes fences about 1:30m  to load.. so double clicking or anything is useless.

I taught it was a delayed start set by my startup task manager but Fences is not even listed on the startup manager..

So, my fences starts a a late load, 1 minute to much, and the thing is i only have a 4 cpu hunggryless programs that auto run at start up, so it leaves fences no excuse to start a late l...

Before I left on vacation I went and bought myself a late birthday present which was the Nokia Lumia 920 smartphone running Windows Phone 8.  It was a decision between the iPhone 5 and the Lumia 920.  I’ve mostly used iPhones over the past few years, but I did have a Windows Phone 7 device as well.  I liked it, but too many quirks made me return to the iPhone.

I’ve been watching closely the progress of Windows Phone 8, and between that and the hardware from Nokia, I decided t...

In every forum I visited on the Internet, when you click on the "go to last reply" link for a thread (the little arrow thingie) it takes you to the last reply for that thread. In Stardock forums it instead takes you to the first page of the thread. Can you please fix that? Thanks.
