Review: Snagit 12 Screen Capture Software

$

I’ve been talking about and recommending Snagit for many years here on WinCustomize.  I started using it many versions ago as I needed a tool to capture screenshots with features that just couldn’t be found in Windows or other similar apps.  A few months ago TechSmith released Snagit 12 with several new features including a new user interface for the editor, an enhanced capturing experience, and more.  For the last month or so I’ve been using the latest version a...

Can't uninstall

On Windows 8.1. I just renewed my subscription and when I run the older version, 5.12, it says a newer version is available. Then says I have to uninstall it. I went to programs and setting and uninstalled it. Rebooted. It's still listed in the all programs menu and when I try to run it it says it's a trial. When I try to upgrade it it says to uninstall the old one, but it's no longer listed in programs and settings.

I've peeked into advanced color editing in WindowBlinds, but all text is supposed to be gray colored. Can anyone tell me what to look for in the editor to change the numbers so they show up in the Mutopia theme?

Thank you.

Title says it all, really. I can create new Fences, the double-click feature works, the configure menu appears, everything else works, but I can't select an edge or drag a title bar. Fences are set partly transparent, but that doesn't make a difference. Using the free version on Win7 with two monitors. Any ideas?

3 things that have made gaming social media more toxic

The game industry as been ablaze for, really, the last couple of years about misogyny within its ranks. This really came to a head in the past couple weeks when an outspoken “indie” game developer was accused of some sordid activities in exchange for media coverage.  

Online culture has a serious toxicity problem. It gets worse every year. Here are 3 things that are driving it:

#1 The tabloidiziation of the gaming media. 

First, I want to emphasize that the gaming...

Windows 8 and Stardock Apps Compatibility

This may have been asked before, but since I just purchased a new laptop with Windows 8 on it, what Object Desktop apps (besides the obvious, Start 8, Decor 8, and Deskscapes), are compatible and can be used on this new OS? Does Stardock intend to make all their software compatible with Windows 8? Is Windowblinds going to be usable on it if it isn't already?

Stardock has several apps under $5 that are designed to make Windows 8/Windows 8.1 easier to use and to restore lost features such as the Start menu.  Below is a quick overview of each app and what it can do to enhance your Windows 8 experience.

The start menu in Windows 8 was removed, and in the 8.1 update, Microsoft brought the start button back. Unfortunately, their start button DOES NOT bring the Start Menu with it, it launches the Windows 8 Menu. Start8 returns ...

“The best way to infect thousands of computers is to set up a malicious website. Better still, hack a popular website and insert malicious code. That way, thousands of website visitors will be affected when they visit the website. Badware is the name given to the malware present on websites – in the site code or in the malicious advertisements or malvertisements being displayed on the website.” – TWC

Feature request

Hello,

 

generally i want the dock to appear when the mouse touches the edge of the screen. I use it all the time. But in some programs the work area is near the edge, so the dock comes to foreground all the time while working. Therefore it would be great to have a hotkey to quickly disable/enable this feature.

 

Greetings, Toni

Registered Fences keep asking for product key every several days

I am a proud owner of Fences.

But on Windows 8 every several days I get pop-up message from Fences that I have to enter product key,

purchase product key or to start 30 day trail.

So every time I have to log-in to Stardock to copy/paste product key and succesfully activate Fences.

Fences is wonderful, but how do I solve this registration problem?

The Falling Skies Thread

There are very few shows I watch on TV, but probably my favorite that I wait for each year is Falling Skies which is on TNT.

The fourth season is starting on June 22nd, and from what I've been reading and watching it looks like it's going to be a good one.  If you are not familiar with the show, it's basically about a group of survivors from a catastrophic alien invasion. Steven Spielberg is the executive producer.

Any other fans of the show?  We can use this thread f...

The game industry’s problem with misogyny

The Internet is toxic, but its toxicity is usually equal opportunity

One of the more annoying trends in our society has been the substitution of action with rhetoric.  This has really taken off in the age of Twitter where people think hashtags are a replacement for actually doing something.

Today I read an Opinion Piece on Polygon called “No Skin thick enough: The daily harassment of women in the game industry”  It’s a good piece and one I think you should read....
