My Computer has Windows 7 Home Premium 32-Bit Operating System:

My mother bought me a 1 year subscription to "OBJECT DESKTOP" so I could use it for some design work while I'm trapped in bed recovering from chemo and massive coronary failure. I was finally well enough yesterday to download the applications included with my subscription & was very excited to get started. I went to the download page on my account (as instructed in the email). Once I'd logged on there, I was "advised...

The aero option is still available in this just-released build. But the 'intel' is it won't be in any further beta (if there is one) and not in the

RTM and retail versions. That means, as far as I'm concerned, WinBlinds is back in the loop (I lived without it on WN7.) I like aero - turn it

off and you'll see what I mean. Bland. There will be many, especially those using Metro on phones and pads, who won't want it.  I can see

the reason for that. A flat look ...

If you're running Windows 8, even if you absolutely love the new Start screen and ModernUI apps I think you'll still want to check out Start8/ModernMix.

Start8, as many of you know, has become very popular because it brings back the Start menu to the Windows 8 desktop and lets you book directly to it. 

Now, ModernMix solves the other biggest criticism with Windows 8, namely that the new WinRT apps (called ModernUI apps or Metro apps) are forced to run full-screen.  Modern...

Been slacking a bit as of late on the ol' WB production...

I thought I might explain why... I have been working for a few Music Software companies designing new interfaces for their upcoming software plugins and libraries.

I'll post some here as I have time...

Thanks for everyone's patience !!!

I can be also contacted @ the link above by anyone in need of a UI design

Thanks everyone!

Going to the movies was costing us upwards of 50-75 bucks a shot so I was able to talk the wife into finally building a home theater.

Unfortunately my budget was not real big so a lot of research was done on what I could do.

Here is the final result...

Screen: Elite 110" (a little work to put together, but quality is much better than when we where shooting on the wall).

Projector: Optoma HD20 (1080p 24hz/60hz, good picture quality for the price).

Speakers: Spec grade but they soun...

To say the response to ModernMix has been overwhelming would be an understatement.  In the 20 years that Stardock has existed, we’ve never put something out that has has been this positively received, this fast.

To recap: Last week we put out the first beta of ModernMix, a program that lets users run Windows 8 ModernUI (Metro) apps in a window, on the desktop.  It’s a free download that you can also buy for $5 (which gets you the full beta and final version).

The reaction has...

MaximumPC does a head-to-head on Windows 8 start menu replacements. Start8 takes it!

"we prefer Start8 even though it costs $5, because it is so polished that it looks and feels like a Windows Power Toy, and we like being able to open a mini version of Metro, too. It’s also easier to use and configure, and provides more than enough functionality to justify its price."

When I first purchased OD+2 the configurations screen with all the settings was showing and working just fine but now when I right click taskbar Icon and then click 'Configure Objectdock...' I get nothing at all. The busy icon on my cursor is on for like a second and then nothing at all.

I can add to the dock but can't get to the main settings screen as it doesn't show, no matter what I have tried.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled, also using ccleaner to clear any re...

It's taken me awhile to start this thread, sorry. I know this may end up in flame wars. Again I am sorry.

So everyone knows my situation. Well those close to me on this site do. My computer is finally showing signs of how old it truly is. Keep in mind my computer has a Pentium 4 processor so I am guessing this setup to be almost ten years old. The problem, even after a few friends helped me here with a new hard drive and more memory, is the rest of the system. The processor can't keep...

Give the option to remove Fences context menu to only show on left/right click 
So to elaborate, have the option to disable this menu (see picture below)



When I start to highlight with either the left or right mouse buttons.
This has become quite annoying especially when trying to highlight multiple icons on my desktop, this menu gets in my way.
So having the option to lets say, only show up when I use the right mouse button, and never show up when I use the left mouse button.&nb...

Hello,

First time poster, long time Fences user.  So I finally upgraded to Fences 2.0 yesterday and there's a bug/feature that I can't stand.  When using left click+hold to make a box around icons I want to move, Fences prompts me to make a fence or folder.  Is this a feature or a bug?  Fences 1.0 was strictly right click+hold, and that worked great!  Please look into fixing this or featuring some option in the future to address this.  It's rather ann...

Recently, a problem appeared when using window dragging animations.

When they are enabled (both WindowsFX style or Compiz style), if you move a window almost to the topmost part of the screen, the contect of the window gets invisible and the window shows whats on the background-desktop. Also sometimes I get flickering windows.
