Are Master Skins rated by everyone, or only the purchasers?

Rating a screenshot is one thing, but actually rating a skin for it's usability or features is what the ratings should be about.

If anyone can rate a skin that they haven't actually put to the test, then the ratings are sort of useless and actually perpetuate a sense of falseness.

Is there a way to sort through the ratings to find out what the real users find and think?

The non master skin ratings really tell you mor...

Ok...so, MS decided (last month) to have one update model for W7, 8.1 and W10: Cumulative Updates. This new schedule will start on October 11th. If this makes you nervous, well honestly? It should.

You will no longer have the ability to choose which updates you want, and which you don't. "But I don't use Outlook, etc.!" - "Who cares?", MS has replied with this policy change, essentially saying, "After all, it may be your machine, but they're our OS and apps.".

Well......

Worst scenario: You're almost done with work you've been laboring over when Windows starts with the popups to restart your computer, OR, even worse: You had to leave for a minute and return and find that Windows has restarted your computer and your work? Gone. Hell, even Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom save your work at configurable intervals (via Preferences). So why don't the Window and third party apps? Because.

Anyway, MakeUseOf  has put out a great article o...

Hello,

I bet I'm missing something, but is it possible to have the fences remain open until you click or double click to roll them up?  (I find the auto roll-up feature gets in the way when I want to search / scroll for a file within a fence).

I am running Fences 3.0.1 on Windows 10 Pro 64 bit with 2 monitors.  I have my fences docked at the top of the screen.

Thank you,

Jim

I downloaded the trial for Window Blinds 10 yesterday after hearing that Windows 10 is supported now, but I'm having a major issue with my entire screen going black after I switch the theme once or twice. Luckily, the alt-tab screen still sort of works and I'm able to awkwardly use that to change the theme back, clicking at the blackness where the buttons should be. Changing the theme back to windows default sometimes fixes the black screen, sometimes I also have to reboot afterwards. An...

Sometimes when I get my desktop, I see all icons on my desktop, instead of the fences only.

When I click on the desktop, those icons become invisible and the normal situation is back. 

There is no pattern that I can find. 

The next time it happens, I will take a screenshot. 

If you need other info, please let me know.

I'm using Windows 10 which is actual and Fences 3.01

Too many choices on Google, so I thought to ask my friends here. I'm looking for a program that will take an exact image of my hard drive that can be restored after replacing the hard drive or a system crash that can't be recovered. Basically a program that will allow be to boot up via USB stick, then copy the image to the hard drive, then, like magic, everything works like it did when it was backed up. Easy to use is a plus. Thanks guys.

After a while (- most of the times after my screen got locked because of idle time), the icons / list items in a fence are not double clickable anymore (to open them). 

 

Problem: First click does mark them correctly, for the 2nd click i see a white flashing in the fence. This seams to be some kind of positioning problem inside the fence.

Temp fix for now: Once i switch the items size (i do it with ctrl+mousewheel) one up and one back down, it works like charm.

Whenever I download a file, like in Chrome, and target the desktop. The file ends up in the upper left corner of monitor 2, instead of in the first available position of monitor 1. Is there any way to change/fix this behavior?

One of America's most well known faces is gone. Arnie was a gentleman and was the face of golf in the 60s. He received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2004, and the Congressional Gold Medal in 2012...and after receiving it, he went outside and signed autographs for people, always accessible to folks...largely due to Palmer, golf became as popularized as it has. The modern greats owe a great deal to him for that.

After leaving the Pro circuit, he a successful businessman, ph...
