Why won't Win Blinds 10 work with Google Chrome?

Error Installing Fences 3 Beta 2.91

Running Windows 10 Pro Insider Preview Build 14251.rs1_release.160124-1059

Uninstalled fences 2 and rebooted.

Started to install fences 3 beta 2.91. Almost immediately got a sharing violation error on fencesmenu.dll and the installation programs hangs and needs to be killed.

No specific anti-virus running, just Microsoft's own

HELP!

 

Icon size

I was wondering if there was a way to make the icons contained within a fence smaller than normal desktop icons? Something like half size or such. This would be very convienent for me. It maybe already present but I can't find it.

Thanx

Can anyone let me know when Windowblinds 10 will be released to public?

 

Small transparent window on top left of screen after unlocking.

As you can see from the image I have attached there is a small bar/window that is mostly transparent covering the start button and a few icons.  This happens every time I unlock my machine with objectdock running and my taskbar on the side of the screen with the dock across the bottom.

I have seen this happen with 2 different machines one running windows 7 and the other windows 10.  I'd like to find out if this is a setting I'm using or a known bug.

Blank Program Running on ObjectDock Plus 2.2 - Upgraded to Windows 10

I just upgraded to Windows 10 and now I have a blank program showing on my dock.

I am running the most up-to-date paid version of ObjectDock and have it set to show running applications.

There is a blank space on the dock with a running indicator undeneath, but no icon. Also, it does magnify the dock, but doesn't have a label when I hover over it.  I can right-click on it though, and when I go to "Settings -> Edit This Shortcut" It shows it linked to "C:\WINDOWS\system32\Applic...

Restore Maximum Power State to Surface Pro 4

My Microsoft Surface is a constant companion.  It is absolutely central to my workflow.

One of the challenges I’ve had with it is battery life.  There’s a lot of things you can do to help with your battery life but one simple thing I’ve done, for now, is to set the max CPU when on battery to 99%. 

Setting the max CPU to 99% prevents the CPU from going into Turbo mode.  For me, this accomplishes two things:

(1) I get roughly an extra hour of battery ...

WindowsBlinds 10 and Windows 10 "Settings"

For some reason, the "Settings" windows in Windows 10, along with all of the other "Modern UI" apps, do not skin under WindowBlinds 10.  I find this to be extremely disappointing. Will this issue be addressed in a future version of WindowBlinds 10?

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 ...

What happened to Global Warming?

When I put my first above ground pool in around the late 90's we were able to open it in April and start swimming in May.

Now my pool is just opened and still not warm enough to swim in

 

I'd like some global warming back...

 

WindowBlinds 10 Beta - Some apps not being skinned

First of all, thank you soooo much for finally releasing a WindowBlinds 10 Beta version.  I upgraded to Windows 10 early, and I have been stuck with the ugly, ugly UI for far too long.  I'm overjoyed to be able to skin Windows once again.


I am noticing that the following applications are not skinned by WindowBlinds 10 at all under Windows 10, at least in my installation:

Mozilla FirefoxGoogle ChromeWindows "settings" dialogs (now separate but similar to the "control panel" ...

Last night I upgraded from win7 to win10 now all my icons are frozen in place and can't be move.

I installed Fences again and now my desktop icon are stuck and will not move, so I uninstalled Fences again

“My Disk Wiper”–before you sell that computer…

Clearly, if you’re going to be selling your computer to a stranger (or anyone else), the last thing you want is to leave any data on it.

So, My Disk Wiper is a good program, and will do it…even asks you twice, “Are you sure” type questions. It can be a long process, though.

gHacks recommends checking the effectiveness with Recuva or Testdisk…I think that’s a good idea no matter which software/method you use to erase the data.

I’d recommend bookmarking this link…no poin...

I've been using Windowblinds since Win98 although I don't show being a member that far back. I can still recall looking for so many ways to improve the Windows desktop from a program called "Plug-In" by Plannetcrafters to another called "Window Magic" (don't remember who made it) that allowed the user to roll up windows and had some nice wallpaper to go along. When Stardock came along with Windowblinds, that was it. I was hooked. Now I can't think of what I would do without it. W...

Doctor Young and Doctor Geezer

It's been awhile that I've been able to share a little bit of humor, enjoy. 
Dr. Geezer was bored in retirement and decided to open a medical clinic.
He put a sign up outside that said:  "Dr. Geezer's clinic, Get your treatment for $500, if not cured, get back $1,000."
  
Doctor "Young," who was positive that this old geezer didn't know beans about medicine thought this would be a great opportunity to get $1,000.   
So he went to Dr. Geez...
