Greetings!

This Fall Stardock began a major overhaul across the board of its community infrastructure.

The first update was of our WinCustomize.com customization site (www.wincustomize.com) to greatly speed it up.

The next update was to speed up our forums across all the Stardock community sites.

This past week, we launched the third major update: Forum community awards.  You will notice on people's posts that there are various little dots and awards by their names.  We...

In "Sorting & organizing" under "Type-based rules" in the default category "Video" the .mp4 file extension is missing but it is present in "Audio".

I understand that the mp4 container can also be used for audio only but more than 99,9% of all the mp4 container files i dealt with used the extension m4a for that.

mp4 should definitely be in the video section, not audio. (As someone already suggested back in February 2015(!!!))
also flv is missing but by the time stardock actually starts...

DeskScapes is a great way to mange your wallpapers, whether they are animated or static wallpapers. If you are not familiar with DeskScapes, it allows you to have animated wallpapers on your Windows desktop, and even lets you apply effects to those wallpapers for even more customization.

One of the questions I get asked the most about DeskScapes is how you can have wallpapers change randomly. It’s a cool feature but it seems not everyone is aware how to enable it, so I wanted to focus o...

Hi,

as you read, modern UI Apps let the explorer crash when animated. Because the crashing explorer issue is already there, I try to fix the symptoms and exclude this apps.

 

For me it happens nearly everytime with the app "audiocloud", but without an Exe it seems impossible to exclude them.

 

Thanks for any hint or (whoa!) a bugfix!

I'm trying to add a comment to a Winstep theme posted on the Winstep section here:

http://www.wincustomize.com/explore/winstep/808

Unfortunately every time I click the Submit button the page simply refreshes (a # character being added to the URL in the address bar) and my comment doesn't get posted. I'm properly logged in and I don't see any error message. Tried it in Firefox and in Chrome with the same results.

What's going on?

I'm trying to set my Fences so that at the very least they stay open until I close them

I thought that was what the "Double click Fence titlebar to roll up" option was for in the "Roll-up Fences" Options

I've tried many different combination and it still doesn't work that way

Ultimately what I would like is to click on them to open AND close.

anyone know how to do this?

Thanks

Whenever explorer.exe auto-restart because of a crash or user interference, Fences won't load along with it. The context menu is also gone and if Fences.exe is opened via its folder, there's a message "Fences does not appear to be loaded. You may need to reinstall Fences." The option "Enable Fences" in the Home tab is checked and I've already uninstall and reinstall to no avail.

I've managed to do workarounds of disabling the "Enable Fences" then restarting the explorer.exe an...

Hello,

After using fences for a few weeks on Windows 10, I have collected my thoughts:

- folder portals do not inherit the "view" settings from the root.  Each browsed folder from that point on goes back to a default large icon view.  My system default is "details."

- Would be nice for rollups pinned to the corners of the screen to be able to stay on top of everything.

- would be nice for a rollup to roll in from the sides.

- trying to select icons within a fence using c...

Hi,

A few years ago I bought WindowBlinds. Then I kept on upgrading it to match newer operating systems. For some time I'm a Windows 10 user and I wanted so badly compatible WindowBlinds 10 to come out. About a month ago I downloaded the trial version of WB 10 and it worked just great. The trial period ended, so I uninstalled WB.

Yesterday I decided to upgrade my licence for WB10. I bought it and downloaded the WB10.5 installer. After installing it, nothing happened. Well, actually the...

My brother is in ICU on life support, prayers needed...he has respiratory failure, lungs full of fluid, high CO2 and low oxygen levels, very confused, and it seems he's been off his meds for diabetes, etc.

 

He smokes, eats too much, generally doesn't take care of himself.

 

They have him at critical status.

 

I would appreciate any prayers and well wishes.

Hello,

 

I can not install DeskScapes on Windows 10 because I keep receiving OneDrive error during installation.

FYI, One Drive is turned off from Run on Startup list because I do not use it, howver it simply means that it does not run, so I would not consider this as a reason.

 

Please, advise

 

Thx
