After I read this article from December 3rd, I went to the local Keanes coffee shop and dutifully set out to read Nietzsche's "The Genealogy of Morals." I think it was his infectious, irreverant, funny to the point of hysterical laughing tone that completely caught me by surprise, kicking me out of a state of mallaise and depression. Actually, I had DECIDED - damn it - that I WAS ...

Hi. Hope I'm in the right spot here. At work I just upgraded my Mac machine to Yosemite - and really like the way the flat dock changes colour according to the wallpaper used. Can this be done on Windows OD docks?

Back in 2012, I wrote an article called Lumia 920–Best Smartphone I Have Owned. It’s gotten a nice amount of views and several pages of comments since then, mostly about Windows Phone 8. That was my second time trying a Windows Phone, and after a couple of years with it, I’ve gone back to the iPhone with the iPhone 6 and will most likely stay with that going forward. I still stand by most of what I said in that article. The Lumia 920 is a great piece of hardware, and Windows Ph...

Hi.

I have a current OD subscription, exp. in a month. I use only fences and consider not to renew my sub. Last year support told me to backup my installers and keys and I would be fine. Now I can't find a key for each program, just a central key for the OD sub. When I install a software I get asked for my emailaddress connected to the OD sub. My question is what happens if my OD stops. Will I be able to install and activate the software with the installer, or is the software now dependin...

TClock 2010 Transparency issue

I used TClock 2010 for quite some time now without problem. Now that I installed WindowBlinds (8.0.6) this system tray clock is not able to show a transparent background. I've tried to find in Skin Studio (I'm a newbie and never really designed skins) where I could make it transparent again but no luck. I am using Lantana 2. There are no settings in TClock 2010 for transparancy, it's enabled by default.

One thing I noticed with other skins (Precision) is that the...

Fences seems to load ok a little slow, but the problem is in portals. Everytime I reboot I have to re-enable aero to get them to finish loading and startup. After this all works well until next reboot, then repeat. I am running WB 7 and have tried several blinds but none seem to change anything. Acts like something in WB7 is not enabling aero or is turning it off.

I assumed that most if not all Blinds are aero themes. I have even reset to Windows Aero Default and same problem. Any ideas ...

Nobody probably cares, but just wondering, howcome the downloadlists update completely on their "own" accord? (1-2 days after some other)

-Aren't the lists supposed to be updated simultainously ??

"Yesterday" isn't yesterday, it's 1-2 days after ???

Even using the best practices, you can get hit with adware and toolbars (wait one while I duck out to Listerine my fingers).

The usual source? Deceptive installers and deceptive download portals. They’ll get you every time. They’ll switch home pages and search engines. They really come pretty close to malware, imo.

Anyway, you might get asked to help someone with multiple toolbars and adware crap on his box.

There are good programs for that: Adware Cleaner, PC Decrapi...

Am very pleased to report that WindowBlinds works great with the Windows 10 Tech Preview.

Upgraded from Win8.1, rebooted, and WindowBlinds works fine -- no problems.

I did have to uninstall both Start8 and ModernMix, but I expected it would come to that (in the short run).

However, it does not seem to know when I am doing anything on my computer because it hides after the timeout regardless of activity.

Some of you know Kris Kwilas as Nakor around here. He’s been with Stardock since, I think, 1996. Last week he’s moved from our VP of Technology to being a consultant. He’s going off to do new and great things. It’s been a long planned move. He gave me a 2 year notice that he was eventually going to do it. But I feel like my right arm is missing.

Our management team continues to evolve. We’ll have to do a new management page. These days it’s:

I have only been using fences for a week or so and I notice droopy fences.

I have 14 narrow fences in a row and most of them gained extra blank space at the bottom somehow.

I have not added or subtracted icons from the fences.

I had to go and tighten them all back up again.

What is going on ?

I had an interesting issue yesterday on my system. I often work on two computers and use Windows Remote Desktop to access the second one without having to switch peripherals. Yesterday I was constantly having to transfer files from one computer to the other. I decided to try and make a shortcut to the networked drive on the desktop of the machine that has fences. The shortcut seemed fine until I decided to change its name... As soon as the name was changed, Windows explorer locked up, and ...
