So since i got tired of the Adobe subscription model, i was looking for something to replace Photoshop.
I looked around and found Affinity photo, it is 54,99 euros, it has a buy once update forever model.
It seems to have all of the functions of Photoshop, or at least i have not found something important missing yet.
One of the coolest things is probably live preview on tools, + it loads PSD files faster than photoshop
I know surreptitious advertising of some degree but i think it woul...

If you have compatibility issues with WindowBlinds and an application or game, please do let us know in this thread so we can investigate it and hopefully resolve the problem.

Please make sure you are running the latest version of WindowBlinds first and that the problem exists with a theme included with WindowBlinds vs a downloaded one. 

Please provide as much detail as you can, screenshots of the problem, information on the application itself, how to reproduce the problem and if...

Nope, nevermind, I'm confused... all is fine, nothing to see here... please delete this post.

(I was trying to long into customize.org, not wincustomize.org... once I go to correct site, all is fine...)

sigh...

Hey there,

I got a problem.

From time to time the update wants to be done. It pops up and I click "download now".

After that, it "starts downloading".

Well, kind of. It is always on the progress bar at 0 mb / 0 mb.

Its an empty update. And thus it will never end "downloading".

How to fix this?

Hey there,

ocassionally icons happen to drop out from my roll- up fences which I positioned on the edge of the screen.

When that happens, I need to relocate and drop it into the fence again.

Well, this important because there are a couple of graphics extensions and we all love graphics, right?

According to recent Proofpoint research, eight extensions for the Google Chrome web browser have been compromised by attackers, sending malicious ads to the affected users. In a report, Proofpoint explained that the authors of these extensions had their credentials stolen, allowing the attacker to take over...The attacks occurred primarily in July and August 2017, with the at...

Thinking of doing a somewhat "Modern" skin here. As an example this is one I was commissioned to do several years ago called Flaty. It was never released and won't ever be, but I was thinking of doing a somewhat modern flat skin for public release. Do you think I should do one or not? I would really appreciate your comments.

I have a bug in my Fences Pro application. The option "exclude this pictogram (icon) from quick-hide" isn't working anymore. I have about 11 icons that remain visible at quick-hide, but can't add any more. If I delete one I can't add a new one either, and I remain with 10 instead of 11. So it has nothing tot do with too much icons that remain visible after quick-hide.

Please help.

I'm running Win 10 Creators update (i.e. build 1703) with latest updates on two machines that also run win blinds (latest version) and am having the same problem on both of them.

The task bar will submerge to half its normal size and nothing can be accessed for several minutes (when I touch the mouse to the taskbar I just get the hour glass) -- and whatever I have open is also unresponsive. If I open task manager sometimes it clears up, otherwise it stays this way for up to 10 minutes. This h...

Last week, as a joke, I posted an image to Facebook of what (I thought) would be an awesome t-shirt design for my birthday today (which also happens to feature an eclipse across much of the US.

Wincustomize member teddybearcholla took it upon herself to make one and send it to me.

In the fifteen years (!!!) I have been a member here I am constantly surprised at what great friendships I have made.

 

You all are pretty great! (but teddybearcholla is super-great today!)

Skins are not rendering properly on Firefox Portable (37.02)
On the screenshot you can see that top of the toolbar above the tab becomes invisible/clear

Of particular note is that I have instructed WindowBlinds not to skin the software, and to use disabled skin with same result. Venom theme is still being applied to Firefox portable

After installing Fences 3.03 on Windows 10, every time while showing the desktop (by using Win+D or pressing show desktop button), Windows explorer crashes and then restarts.

We could observe the desktop is re-drawn and sometime there will be a dialog saying Fences cannot be loaded.

Today, Stardock released an update for Fences. Version 3.05 includes Simplified Chinese language support along with some adjustments to existing features. Fences allows a user to automatically organize their Windows desktop shortcuts and icons in shaded areas that can be hidden by double-clicking to reduce clutter. A recent demand for Fences from the Asia / Pacific marketplace prompted the new Simplified Chinese language addition. Simplified Chinese language support brings the organization ...

Hi,

Is there a way to get Fences to have unique applications open on each desktop page? Not just unique icons?

EG. I want to have chrome open on page 1 and firefox open on page 2, and VisualStudio open on page 3.

Version: 3.0.5.12

Hi,

Is there a way to define mouse buttons for multi desktop switching move left / move right.

EG. I want to be able to use mouse button side back to move left and mouse button side forward to move right. At the moment I'm having to use my mouse software to remap those buttons to use ALT + LEFT or ALT + RIGHT, but now I no longer have mouse back and mouse forward available in other applications.
