Stardock’s ModernMix has officially been released. Version 1.0!

I’ve been using Windows 8 as my main machine since its launch and I still can’t believe Microsoft is forcing PC users to run the new Windows 8 “RT” apps (aka Modern UI or Metro) in their own separate, full-screen environment.  It’s amazing how useful these new apps can be if you can run them in a window on the desktop while you’re doing other things.

Hi Guys,

 

I know you have mentioned that you would not have a build ready for the launch but I was wondering what sort of timeline you would expect?

 

I ask because I'm due a workstation upgrade and its going to include a fresh W8 install. I didn't install WB on my current computer as I always found Windows 7 pretty enough for me, however after two weeks with Visual Studio 2012 Pro I'm starting to pine for pretty windows again.

When will we get WindowBlinds for Windows 8? Windows 8 has been released for a couple of months now.

Not only WindowBlinds, how about other software in the Object Desktop for which I paid and can not use?!

 

Many of us have paid a yearly subscription and for those of us who 'upgraded' to Windows 8 upon release, and those who had the beta versions for longer, we have not been getting our money's worth!

 

Please please please Stardock, get WindowBlinds and othe...

Well Windows 8 is officially up and running well. It's nice to see some new programs like Start 8 for those that don,t like the idea of life without a start menu.Great for them I have no problem with the new  START SCREEN.

If that were enough to do with the Start Menu / screen issue there is also the new option to change the tiles background.

Two new programs for Windows 8.

It is however nice to see a fantastic UPGRADE to Windows FX works well on Windows 7 & 8!

Hi,

 

I just read that you are working on WindowBlinds 8. 

I have tried Win8 but went back to Win7. I don't mind the new startscreen, but I am really missing the transparency. I want to have nice looking desktop therefore I used WB for years. You'll understand that I do not like the looks of Win8.

So the big question is, will there be transparency again with WindowBlinds 8  and Win8 ?

Please say yes

 

Markus

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!

Sorry if this has been discussed elsewhere, please feel free to point me in the right direction.

I want to be able to get a random desktop wallpaper daily. If possible without the need to manually download them first. But even if I can download a couple of month worth of wallpapers in one go so that they change automatically it would do as well.

 

Is there any way to achieve this with Object Desktop? I know that you can let it cycle the wallpapers, but I can't find a way to let...

We closed down shop last Friday and migrated to our local movie theater to see “The Hobbit”.

I’m very interested in hearing what others thought.  Here are my thoughts in no particular order:

I was thinking about writing a series of articles on the history of Stardock. That is, how we got started and some of the challenges that are involved in running a small technology company.  But I wanted to find out first if there’s interest in this before I put in the time to write them.

Let me know in the comments area if you’re interested in such a series.

The Australian Parliament has finally gotten off its duff and is probing the price gouging there.

This is getting ridiculous. It’s actually cheaper for an Australian to fly to the US and buy CS6 here than to buy it in Oz! Well, Adobe’s going 100% digital and dropping box sets, so that might well not be happening any more, but the Australian legislature is demanding answers. Good for them, and high time. This has been going on for decades.

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 ...

Hey my WinCustomize buddies -

I'm just letting you all know the reason I've been on hiatus.  It wasn't that I was only active here until I was made Master and then bolted. 

My husband, whom I had been supporting for 12 years, decided he would get hassled less about doing nothing with his life, if he left me and moved in with his cousin, so I've been nursing a broken heart and trying to get my finances together because when the jerk left, he took our only car wit...
