When configuring, I wanted a different font for the titles. No problem finding it. But when trying out different fonts to see how they look. Some fonts came up that they could not be used because they are not True Type.  Now obviously you can detect if they are True Type. So could you do that when populating the list, and filter out the ones that can't be used. Then you can remove the error message code as the list will never have a NON-True Type font in the list.

Oh, and I have...

I have ObjectDock version 2.10 running on Windows 8.1.  Works great except that I would like to have the Tabbed Dock autohide completely from the desktop,  just like the Quicklaunch Dock.   

At present,  the Tabbed Dock autohides the icons,  but the "thin" strip of tab names is remains visible.  I'd call this a "partial" autohide of the Tabbed Dock. What I would like is a "full" autohide such that the strip of tab names auto-hides off the desktop also (u...

As we get ready to close out the year, I was curious if there was one skin that stood out as your favorite in the last year.  Doesn't matter if it's a WindowBlinds skin, an animated wallpaper, or a icon.  

Post your favorite from 2013 with a link in the comments.

Interesting article at Neowin.

Looks like XP usage is dropping quickly: Down 3.38% in a month. I didn’t see sample size stats, though.

By far, the highest usage for XP is in China, with a significant persentage of those pirated. Recently, China asked MS to extend XP support. That deserves a “Chutzy Award”.

I bought DeskScapes in November and I have a feature request. Can Stardock make DeskScapes play the video only when the desktop is fully shown and all windows are minimized (or when doing Aero Peek) but not play the video at all if only a part of the desktop background is showing? A checkbox option like "Play only when all windows are minimized". I know Deskscapes automatically stops playing the video when a window is maximized, but I don't want the video to play even if part of the desktop ...

As much as many of us like the existing WinCustomize design, technology marches on and there's a lot more we can do with WinCustomize today than we could when we did the last design.

I'm starting this thread to begin the brain storming phase of what you guys would like to see in the next-generation version of WinCustomize.com.

This can include:

1. HOW items (like skins) are organized.

2. WHAT kinds of items we include (should we add support for mobile devices for instance)

Hi, I'm new here and a happy new year to you all. Good information here and really nice stuff.

I'm using windowsblind, but only the Default Theme is working. Trying all other themes and with all programs/windows explorer, the minimize, maximize and close buttons aren't visible. Only when I hoover with my mouse there and just click, I see them very briefly and the command is executed.

I already tried a lot from the information I got here and on the Stardock forum (reinstalling W...

When renaming a fence I lost all of the icons from my desktop. Cannot remove the fence or recover the files. It appears that I have to uninstall fences and start over. Is there a better solution? I see no way to delete a fence

Help!

Skin Studio 8 is kaput!!!

 

I used it earlier today, now I get the following error!

 

I know of other users who say they get the same thing.

Pretty sad about this...so many memories of my youth are tied to their music.

He and his brother Don's harmonies influenced Simon and Garfunkel, The Beatles, Bob Dylan, even Norah Jones...and many more. Not bad for two brothers from central Kentucky.

He died of Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (COPD)...

Sad day.

I just tried to install Deskscapes and received a max activations notice.

If someone from support is perusing the forums this weekend, I would appreciate it if you could rest my account.

Sed, the man of many DeZigns, and reputed to be a former lead singer in a hard rock group, is said to be 114 years old today. That's old.

Have a good one, birthday boy.

I think this is the most useless research ever conducted on animals. I just read about it and just couldn't believe it.

http://www.livescience.com/42317-dogs-poop-along-north-south-magnetic-lines.html

I quote: "researchers, who spent two years watching 70 dogs while they defecated and urinated thousands of times."

And:

"Their study, the authors wrote, also "forces biologists and physicians to seriously reconsider effects magnetic storms might pose on organisms.""

Hello all,

I was excited to see fences and downloaded and install in July ver .96, I think, and for the most part pleased.  It seemed to slow my system down some, though it is beta and to be expected. 

On August 31, it notified me that it had expired.  I decided to uninstall it for now and wait till the pro version came out. 

I have a Vista 32bit laptop, with one Admin acccount and two standard user accounts. 

I went to my admin account, call it #1 and uninst...

Greetings and Happy New Years!

Over the years the time and effort to create quality skins has increased and so effective January 1, 2014, the royalty split between the skinner and WinCustomize is now 70% for the skinner and 30% for WinCustomize (it was previously a 50/50 split).  

We hope that this will the first of many positive improvements that WinCustomize will be seeing this year.

Cheers!
