MS has released IE 10 – probably in the hope that it will win back folks who’ve migrated to Firefox and Chrome. Wanna bet?

Currently Firefox holds 20% and Chrome holds 17% of the browser market while IE (all editions) holds about 55%.

Since IE10 was tied to W8, it’s exposure has been limited (apart from the “preview”). Since W8 is only at 2.3%, MS is releasing IE 10 to try and compete independently from W8.

DeskScapes8 Beta causes Fences2 to lock icons

Greetings,

OS: Win8 Pro with Fences2 installed

Interesting behavior I have been seeing.  If I install DeskScapes8 Beta, the icons already in place in Fences2 will lock... meaning they cannot be moved.. or the fences themselves.  I get a slash circle mouse icon when attempting to move any of the icons.

Issue is resolved if DeskScapes8 Beta is removed and system restarted.

Registry entries for explorer don't seem to have any effect on icon state.

Wow, has it really been almost 3 years since I wrote anything on here?  

As a little background, I have had Rheumatoid Arthritis since I was 12.  Later in life, I was diagnosed with Lupus with secondary fibromyalgia.  I'm pretty much an auto-immune nightmare, but I still try to function as much as normal.

Anyway, a while ago (right before Christmas), I posted a "week of lupus" on FaceBook, and a few people said that I should blog it somewhere so that others could see it....

(photo credit Neowin altered by me) “Apple picking” no longer refers to going to an orchard with the kids, at least not in the Big Apple. It now refers to the phone being snatched out of peoples’ hands while they’re talking! The iPhone’s pretty popular in the Big Apple: So popular that a special police unit to prevent iPhone thieves has been created to deal with this as well as tablet theft. The way the unit works is as soon as a theft is reported, the unit contacts...

Hi All you skinners out there. I have been having this problem ever since I started skinning.

I make my start menu properly and it applies fine on other people's computers but on mine, the lower left ande right sides don't match up. I know it's partly due to having to paint the bottom of the right side more to get it to align in SKS.

Someone must have gone through this before.... any help would be apppreciated. Screen shots below.

Thanks in advance for any help, Stardock pro...

I tried to upload a picture of my avatar to my account but I get the following error:

"Upload Error

code: 200

message: 500

The upload will now be canceled, please try again."

I thought it might be my image, so I downloaded someone else avatar in this Forum and tried to upload it as my avatar.  I ended up with the same error.  Am I doing something wrong?  Thank you for your help!

A recent submission to Wincustomize met with queries/concerns regarding the use of an image as background wallpaper in displaying the Application Skin.

If you upload a skin, icon, cursor, whatever to the site and display it/them on a background which is NOT of your making it would be most appropriate to post credit for the wallpaper/image used, and, more importantly indicate the wall/image is NOT included within the skin submission/archive.

If on the other hand the image/wall IS INCLUDED p...

Hi there,

I don't own ObjectDock but I do use Dell dock on a couple of my Dells. What I was wondering is if ObjectDock can make a Dell Dock lookalike where you can put separators in and have folders in it that have drop down menus. It looks like the tabbed OD would do that but I don't want to display tabbs. I just want to be able to mouse over an object and have it show there are other things in that particular tab.

 

For example I have an office folder in my dell dock that when I mouse...

I have installed the beta's and now DeskScapes 8. I'm also running Windows 8 Enterprise connected to a domain. When I try to change the desktop nothing happens, it just stays the same. In earlier beta's it would change my desktop to a black desktop. The program will change the screensaver. Any help on this?

For those of you who don't know, our resident Wizard is having yet another birthday. (2-27-1956...old, huh)

 

Now, I'm no Doc, when it comes to shopping, but I gave it a shot.

 

Also, if you didn't know, Wiz fancies himself somewhat of a gamer and loves racing. Hence my theme.

 

Happy Birthday Old Pal!!
