I am having a bit of a conundrum. On the one hand, I’ve been promising my family to work fewer hours and managed to do that to a large extent over the last couple.  On the other hand, last year was such a good year and this year looks even better that it presents so many exciting and varied opportunities….if only there were more hours.

The accountants haven’t turned over the final numbers but broadly speaking, it appears our sales overall increased by about 3X over 2011, which, in itse...

Since most of the skinners here (and others) use Dropbox for file transfer, etc. I thought you might be interested in learning about this, although I don’t know how much good it will do you since while you can view the files,

“You can’t download files using the Dropbox app right now, the only available option is to launch it in the default program. This limits the usability of the app significantly, one would expect at least an option to download files instead of opening them...

When will we get WindowBlinds for Windows 8? Windows 8 has been released for a couple of months now.

Not only WindowBlinds, how about other software in the Object Desktop for which I paid and can not use?!

 

Many of us have paid a yearly subscription and for those of us who 'upgraded' to Windows 8 upon release, and those who had the beta versions for longer, we have not been getting our money's worth!

 

Please please please Stardock, get WindowBlinds and othe...

For years now I've hated the way windows handles this. It takes 20 million clicks to change the icon the way Windows wants you to. I saw this as a feature of Icon Packer and was SO pleased!! But is not working

I can tick the box, but the menu item doesn't appear when I right click its icon.

I ran a quick search and found this thread http://forums.wincustomize.com/373623

It seems there has been a lot of speculation about Windows 8 as of late.  Microsoft is trying very hard to "please everybody", but they seem to be forgetting certain markets.  From what I know, they seem to be mostly focusing on the mainstream/tablet pc markets.  Here are some things i'm curious about Windows 8:

okay,

ive seen this for months now, and im sick of sitting back and saying nothing.

Who gets 9000 downloads a day on a windowblind skin? Thats insanity, right?  

-Apparently Not if you choose to believe the current downloadcount.

 

 Unfortunatley I get those downloads, and its just so wrong its not funny.

The first day I uploaded Euphoria I saw true downloads.  The first day only. Ever since then they have been psycho. (phycho meaning

Hi All,

 

I was a WindowFX user some time ago, and always enjoyed the benefits of a cleaner and more recognizable window stack due to the added shadows. Now with Windows8 there are no shadows anymore provided by the OS, therefor I remembered WindowFX and bought it again in the newest incarnation. But I can't find any option about shadowing anymore? Am I just too blond to find it, or is that feature no more?  If the later, please add it back, and you'll get a lot of W...

Working out and staying fit is highly recommended for everyone. It does not matter if one is just trying to lose weight or simply look and feel better about themselves by getting in shape. But it is even more important to stay consistent and keep on training. When you start getting into shape it is understandable that you would find it somewhat daunting choosing which  Fitness Equipment  to get, especially when it all looks so much like torture devices, and when it costs a fair whack. ...

Does anyone know what system font is used by Thunderbird for displaying Folders.  Lately there are a lot of good looking WBs that I can't use because they alter that font and I get like 6 point font for folders unless there are unread messages when I get like 14 point bold font, causing overlap.  If I knew which template it uses I could alter them in Skin Studio.  I have tried playing around but feel like I am going to mess things up.

 

Could this be related to Win ...

Hi guys, I was wondering if there was anyway to create a new shortcut icon on an objectdock but have that icon represent a keyboard key

I'm basically looking at buying a new windows8 tablet and wanted a dock on the left hand side for Ctrl, Alt, Shift and Spacebar

So when the icon in the objectdock is continually pressed down it would be like pressing down on the one of the above keyboard keys

 

Does anyone know of a way of doing this?

 

Thanks
