Best to exclude aol.exe and waol.exe from skinning in the per application section of WB. What I do, is just exclude the title bar from being skinned. From the Windowblinds Config panel, select Per Application > add per application setting, scroll to the executable (aol.exe) Then just check exclude titlebar skinning from Feature Disabling.
I am working on a new blind. Been doing my animation files. They are so dang big! Like 433 kb each! I am using Jasc Animation Shop. How can I get these files reduced in size? When I went through the Optimization wizard, it decreased the file size a lot, but when I went to sae it, it was back to the original sixe!
in compact start mode...however in the "places" section, a bit of the text label is appearing next to the icons. Another thing you can do, which is much easier, is adjust the the left margin of the places panel - increase that margin until the text no longer appears.
Is anybody using windows blinds 5 and aol? If so notice how aol's internal web browser always appears in a weird spot and you always have to drag the window to resize it. AOL doesn't like to play with WB. What I have done, is have WB not skin the titlebar in aol only. To do this, go to the Per Application section in the WB Config window. Clic
Same problem here...but cannot get into my skins from anywhere....all is "Service Unavailable"
Maryjane, I did get an empty folder the first time I tried recoloring the pack, but the second time it worked. I used a different name for it Donna, did you give the pack a completely different name, or just add to the name? What I have always done, was add the color I was making to the end of the name....for example, Silver Shine Brown (brown i
Donna, when you click on "Recolor Package", the "Ok" button will grey out. Rename the IP in the box showing, or add a word after it, and the "Ok" button will come back and let you continue. Boss, I was able to color the icons, but when I go to save, it gets done and says the icons are colored, then I keep getting a screen that says out of memory

Hi jazzy, I just tried to recolor NextOS and had no problems at all. Latest builds, same as you have. I highlighted NextOS in IP, clicked on "File, Recolor Package", Icon Developer opened, I clicked on the "Recolor Package" button, gave it a new name and then recolored and saved. This is so nuts! I tried it the way you said...this time, I got th
Using NextOS from orig posting, and assuming the new .icl is in a new folder, copy the.iconpackage file from NextOS folder, paste in new NextOS(plus color or whatever)folder, rename .iconpackage to new icon set name. I tried that, and all I get in Icon Packager is a blank file...no icons! I guess I
in icon packager, highlight the package (dont try to open it), then under the file menu, try zipping the package. that should save it as an .ip file. let me know... I can't even get it to show in icon packager. The only way I can get the file name to show is through windows explorer > Program Files > Stardock > Object Desktop > Icon Packager >
i get that same message when i try to open the pack from the browser window on the left, but if i click the browse button @ the bottom it lets me open a pack and then recolor them! hopefully this helps! I was able to recolor the package. But, when I saved it as...it would only let me save it as a .i
Well, I downloaded and installed the updates for both IP and Icon Developer. Still have the same problem....with just the newer IP themes. Anyone out there have the same problem?
I use Screen Hunter Free. It is awesome! Available here: WWW Link
Icon developer has an update out 1.30.022 I discovered that after I wrote this. I downloaded it, but haven't tried yet to see if it fixes the problem or not.
Just recently (past couple of weeks), I have had some problems with recoloring some IP themes...specifically all of skinhit's themes, and NextOS. These are the only ones I have tried to recolor recently. What happens, Icon Developer goes all through the re-color process, then a window pops up saying "Out of Memory". Does anyone know what could be causing this? I am running Windows XP Home, SP2, have 1 gig of RAM, IP version: 3.11.104, Icon Developer version: 1.2.0, Build 1066. Any h
The edit button isn't working... My mother was broken of being left-handed. The only things I do right-handed are bowl, toss a ball, and move the computer mouse. Everything else is lefty.
and it also became common for left handed children to be forced to become right handed I am very left-handed! The nuns tried to break me of it...but, I was (and still am) more stubborn than they were...I won out! Of my 5 children, only one of them is left-handed. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/wc/smiles/Smile.gif" border=0 ALIGN="absmid

Well, I've re-built the computer with the new stuff! Works great...he is now a hppy camper! Thanks all, for the suggestions, help.
Anyway, i have repaired a computer with this problem before, I had to repair windows XP, as its a repair, you shouldn't lose files, ask your friend if an XP installation disk came with the computer. If so, it will be worthit to try reinstalling. If it doesn't work, its most likely a hardware problem, such as Hard Drive, memory etc. Unlikely to be processor, if there
NT....computers can be a real pain, huh? If only it was as simple as reformatting to fix this computer! At least he will save some money....I am gonna rebuild it myself....I have built all of my computers since the late 90's...and, numerous family members/friends as well...lol.
Well, it wasn't the hard drive...however, it may still be. The motherboard went out. Evidentally, he did get a power surge, causing the motherboard to go out. So, now, I have to rebuild the computer. I ordered the motherboard and a new cpu...he needed to upgrade anyway.
Well chances are if you can boot to Knoppix, then you have a software issue. Some things I might do are to remove all external devices from your PC and try to boot. Have you installed any new hard/software lately? I think you will know a lot more after you try booting to Knoppix. I w
You can try a Linux Live CD to get the data off onto a removable drive (usb flash drive) before dumping the drive. Fortunately, I had backed up all his data a couple of weeks ago. I do that once a month, as he has a habit of messing up his computer, forcing me to wipe it about every 3 months or so.<b
