CursorFX

I'm having trouble with CFX freezing on me. I can't change cursors with out clicking on the cfx package. I can't reset the color because it's freezing when I try to do that. Short of uninstalling the program, is there any thing I can do about it? I posted before about this problem and got a response that Stardock was working on a fix. HELP!

Purchased Fences but can't register it

I purchased Fences but am unable to get it to register.  I've tried following the instructions but am getting very frustrated.  I created a support ticket a week ago but haven't heard from anyone.  TNW-410-62224

Also, this version of Fences seems to have caused my second moniter to not recognize the Windows+D command to minimize everything to show the desktop.  This is very inconvienent, is there a fix for this?

Helping WC Community Members

Over the last couple of weeks we have had some negative drama on WinCustomize.  The weather widget alone has caused a ton of frustration alone, so I wanted to do something to bring some positive vibes to WC, and to show that we are a community.

Since the economy is in a bad situation, I know we have many members on WC who have been hit with very hard times.  Trying to help someone who has lost a job for instance can be difficult, but I do know things like hobbies and friends...

I submitted a new masterskin tonight, and to my horror , it was approved as a normal skin.. (not master)

I had to delete it and resubmit it, then suddenly it showed up as a master skin.

 

can someone please look into this? I still also have to reupload many times for normal uploads as the first ones go straight to moderation.

 

 

Using Decor8 to Change Your Windows 8 Start Screen

Windows 8 has the new Start screen (aka Metro) which some users love, and others hate.  After having use it for a while, I have come to like it and use it often especially since there have been some great apps released recently.  One thing about the Start screen though is you really can’t customize it much aside from colors and a few included background images.

That’s where Decor8 comes in and gives you ability to further personalize your Windows 8 experience.  Decor8 allows ...

monitors/tv

so.. i'm thinking of getting a bigger screen for my (oldish.. core2duo e6750) pc than my current 22". seeing as i've never bought one standalone before, i'm bound to need some explanations.

is there any point in getting a normal tv instead of a monitor? (bigger/possibly cheaper?)

any particular thing to look out for in specs?

---

current monitor has a max resolution of 1680x1050.. but i only set it to 1280x800 because I sit like 1/2 meter away and the text is small enough...

MetalMargin - MetalScroll for Visual Studio 2010

Having just recently transitioned to Visual Studio 2010 (finally) at my day job, I found myself in a bit of a predicament.

Previously we'd been using VS2005, for which there was a little extension called MetalScroll (based on another named RockScroll); this extension changed the scrollbar into an actual thumbnail of the code in the editor. For very large and complex files, this makes navigation considerably easier and quicker because you can learn the code's physical layout and identi...

Lumia 920–Best Smartphone I Have Owned

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...

After a bit of a layoff I am happy to have finished my latest WB - "Andromeda"

I have been working on this for a looong time, and I hope now that it is finished that everyone will enjoy this space inspired theme.

It is fully skinned for Windows 7, Vista and XP, and I shall continue to skin all 3 OS's at least for the near future.

The Skin also have a second substyle with plain toolbars and status bars. (requested by Snowman)

Matching skins and walls should be along soon...

Long-dead topics keep coming back

If a topic is so worth discussing then let posters make a new topic, stop leaving old topics open for years and years, it's untidy and needlessly clutters up the Recent Posts view when someone chips in on a topic that was over a long time ago.

Save Layout while upgrading?

$

Is there any way to save your icon layout while my computer upgrades from Pro to v2.0 (after I manage to get past the certificate problem -- something I have yet to manage successfully)?  Do I really have to take a screen shot so that I can find out what was in the fences, and then manually search all five hard drives to get them back into the new Fences?  If v2.0 doesn't save the layout when it upgrades, that is a SERIOUS oversight on the part of Stardock.

Feature suggestion for Desktop Pages when using 2 monitors

Is there a way to do the below? If not, I suggest this to be added as an option, or even to work this way for all people with 2 or more monitors.
If yes, please tell me how.
ISSUE: I use Fences 2.01 on a system with two monitors (I assume someone could use 3 or 4 or more).
I would like when I press Alt+right/left arrow or drag with left/right mouse buttons down (switch Fences to next/previous Desktop Page), for the icons on the main monitor to go to 2nd monitor, or vice-versa.
Now it c...

Yesterday I purchased Fences 2.0 via PayPal.  My PayPal email address is the same as my email address for Stardock.

 

After purchasing Fences 2.0 I tried to activate the product and was told that the email / password was a bad combination.  I tried to activate offline with no success.  Finally, I created the *.txt file and tried to upload it and got a "page not found" error.

 

At this point I'm at a loss.  I created a ticket yesterday (JBZ-730-56998)...
