Oh serial, oh serial, where art thou WB serial.....

I updated WB (5 -> 7) on my XP setup, and now it asks for the serial to activate it.
But I cannot locate it anywhere on my (Stardock) account. (In the Store thingy) 

It's freezing over here, and my Windows XP is running nekkid.....
Please, help it get dressed again.

I'm getting a bit frustrated with WindowBlinds. I had hoped to be able to more than just superficially modify the Aero theme (see my post here: http://forums.wincustomize.com/editpost/451374). It's kind of discouraging to have received no answers! Changing the main color without being able to change the other colors (that dreadful light blue and that ubiquitous gray) is not particularly appealing. But building a skin entirely from scratch is not on my agenda at this point. What I really ...

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...

Start8 Feature Request (SOLVED) :)

Start8 Devs, I have a request.

 

Windows 8 natively allows for the use of taskbars on secondary monitors. Start8 does not put a start button on secondaries. Unless I'm missing something.

 

Any chance we could get you to add that function? Clocks on each taskbar would be awesome as well, but I don't want to over expect.

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

Books - Where the bad guys win

I recently read 4 of Joe Abercrombie's books, and really enjoyed their "grit" and dark humor.  It got me thinking about if I've ever read a book that had a main POV character which was completely evil and wins, or had "good" main character(s) that in the end, utterly fail.

Can anyone think of (and recommend) any books published like that?

 

P.S. If you like Abercrombie, GRRM, or fantasy in general, I highly recommend The Broken Empire trilogy from Mark Lawrence.

DeskScapes8 Activation Issues (Activation Limit Reached)

$

I recently installed DeskScapes 8, and had all manner of trouble trying to get it to write the "activation signature."

I tried activating some number of times, reinstalled, and tried again, and now I'm out of product activations.

 

I believe I've found a solution to the issue of the application not working properly by running it as an administrator, but now I'm out of activations.

Would it be possible to get that reset? I would really appreciate it.

Another Start8 feature request. (SOLVED (kinda))

Would it be possible to add this feature to Start8:

What should the Start button look like?
"None/blank"

Currently we have three options: Default, Start8 and Custom image.
It's not always that any of these option go well with the Windowblinds applied, thus it would be nice to use the one supplied with the WB - which as far as I know isn't possible at the moment.

Hello everyone.  I tried to install the latest version of WindowBlinds on both of my computers at different times with problems both times.  The first time I installed the update I was using BitDefender 2012 Internet Security.  I am now using BitDefender 2014 Internet Security. Both versions of BitDefender had the same issues with WB 8.2

On my Dell 8300 desktop, 64 bit system, BitDefender found a problem with C:\Program Files (x86)\Stardock\WindowBlinds\tray64.dll and woul...

I've looked and looked... but I can't find where to change the Explorer "Views" vertical slider menu font and background.  Skinstudio has a vertical sliders section; but, it's only specific to the sliders; but not it's background or font.

Sucky programming languages vs. good ones

The biggest "industry standard" programming languages of today by far are languages like C++ and Java.  And let me tell you - THEY SUCK.  You couldn't pay me enough money to program in either of them (and I've been offered quite a bit).  Either language will rot your brain to use it.

VERBOSITY

Consider a program which writes "Hello World" to the screen.  Here it is in Java:

public class HelloWorld {

How to convert Win7 taskbar buttons to support large taskbar size

My OS is Win7 64bit.  Im using a Skin that has button images meant for standard/small taskbars (see below).  If my taskbar is large, the button images are messed up.

I'd like to know what I need to do specifically in Skinstudio for the images to be stretched to fit the size of the taskbar.  Can someone please be kind enough to tell me what I need to specifically to do?

 



 

Thanks in advance for the quick help.
