Icons still jumping out of their fences

Icons still jumping out of their boxes. Several months ago I asked about this problem and was advised to upgrade to version 2.13 which I did.

From View I unselect "Lock fences" and place icons in the fences and then select "Lock fences." It appears to work for a while and then one or two icons jump from inside one fence to the inside of another fence or to the desktop.

Suggestions?

Thanks, Kerry

I've been something of a fan of Michael Shermer, looking forward to his regular "Skeptic" column in "Scientific American." (SciAm)  Thus, it was with some dismay that I read his February 2015 submission, "A Moral Starting Point," subtitled "How science can inform ethics," which missed the whole point.  In general, Shermer's logic simply does not hold up, but, worse, he promulgates not one, but two major errors in science and philosophy. 

I will quote from my ...

So, my laptop boots relatively quickly -- the desktop appears after about eight seconds, and I can immediately click icons to open programs or browsers.  However, the ObjectDock doesn't appear for another 12 seconds.  So, if I want to use Objectdock instead of desktop icons, right now I basically more than double my boot time.  Is there a setting I'm missing to make the dock load immediately with the desktop?

Remember I told you about ‘header enrichment’ (enrichment for the companies using these privacy invaders) -  it was back a couple of weeks ago: here ?

Well, good news. Because of all the fire Verizon took from privacy advocates (because of the tracking…always with the story “We do it to improve content and service”) it will now allow users to opt out of their obnoxious spying through the use of the “supercookies”.

I am currently getting a Windows Security Warning from the weather docklet that says: "This page is accessing information that is not under its control.  This poses a security risk.  Do you want to continue?".  This popup happens frequently, I would assume when the weather docklet is setup to refresh.  I am running version 2.20.0.850.  Any information anyone can provide to stop this annoyance from occurring would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

is there a way to write a vbs/bat  script that lets inkscape open a .tga.svg from skinstudio and exports it as .tga? Would be great if that is possible.

perhaps someone knows a good solution!.

B.t.w: my next skin colorful spices  will come out next week, and in the mid of februar a light blue  one made with inkscape.

Why on earth are master skin prices going up?  The other day the were mismarked at $20.  that is SCARY!

Funny thing when a skin for a Stardock Product costs as much as or more than the Stardock product itself.  That is bad news for the community and will diminish the Windowblinds product brand and value.

Looked at it again and at $9.99 it is still high.  Any master skin should be priced the same price as a song on itunes...   $.99 .   Same amount of work as a ...

Hi:

I am currently setting up a windows XP sp3 computer for my preschool children at work (they won't be using internet, so may as well use the computer as opposed to throwing it out as it works just fine).

I am trying to find a version of logon studio that can install a .logonxp file and a version of bootskins that can install a .tbs file (or at least one that allows you to create your own bootskin, like Tuneup 2008 does)..the ones I've got found only seem to want .exe files, whic...

I'm Running Windows 7 64-bit

 

I've changed my icons multiple times using the same icon packager version 4.20

 

I started to use the icon package 'Slicer Vista' and since then everytime I try to apply a new package it changes all the icons except the folder icon, which is REALLY annoying. I've tried to rebuild the icon cache, repair shell icons and images and nothing works.

 

Thanks to those who can help

Fences is activated, v 2.13, but it seems very strange recently, the situation is that fences seems frozen on desktop, I can not create or move fences on desktop, but view->'Lock Fences' is not selected.

I try to install / uninstall fences several times, but it still does not work.

You might have seen me mention it before, but my current main/gaming PC is around 7 years old.  I really can’t complain though, because it has lasted and really hasn’t caused any problems until now.  I built it then for around $600 or so, and it is the main PC I work with and play games on.  The past couple of months it has been difficult to start and keep running efficiently, so it’s time to start looking at a new build.

In a previous post I mentioned I was l...

With pretty much all the themes for WindowBlinds, the tabs in new firefox are unreadable. A few days ago my firefox got updated to version 29, and it has major interface changes. So now I wonder is this a theme problem, or a firefox problem, or windowblinds problem?

And how to solve this.

This is what I mean with 'tabs are unreadable':


 

This same problem occurs with numerous other themes.

Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 x64
