Reply to Is Rey a Super Jedi, Is Finn Force Sensitive? in Movies & TV & Books WinCustomize Forums

[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="21" id="3611181"] There's a fair assumption floating around the tubes that Rey is indeed Luke's daughter, or at the very least already a fully trained Jedi. When Rey finds Luke's lightsaber, she experiences a vision of Kylo Ren's betrayal. The theory goes that this is actually a flashback - Rey was there and experienced it first hand. However, when Luke decided to close down the temple he wiped the minds of all remaining trainees and dumped

Reply to Complete System Image Roll back due to No support for win10 in DeskScapes WinCustomize Forums

The keys for upgraded (free) machines are useless and not needed. Once a machine is upgraded, it is activated based on hardware profile. A clean install is possible only after the upgrade, and a key should not be used in during the clean install - reason being is that the machine is already registered on Microsoft servers. If you attempt to use the key (which can be identified using "jellybean" or other key finder software, then you will not be able to activate your clean install. When doing

Reply to Mr. Spock has died. in Everything Else WinCustomize Forums

I had seen an article a few days back speculating about a recent hospitalization. I am a big fan of Star Trek and Leonard Nimoy in particular. I think he was a very good actor and a very good man.

Reply to Rating Trolling in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Wow - I read through the thread because I thought it was new. Just more of the same old b.s. about skin ratings. I do agree with demoting and/or banning anyone who is obviously abusing the system. I usually don't rate anything that I have not downloaded, and have bit my tongue a few times to just not say anything (i.e. if you can't say something nice.....).

Reply to Cell Phones I have owned in Mobile Tech WinCustomize Forums

Let's see - I had a cellular phone from Panasonic or Mitsubishi or one of those Japanese companies that was almost small briefcase size and full powered at 3 watts, I believe. Then I had a cellular phone for the car that I self-installed before they were very popular. From there, there have been too many to mention here. To be honest, many of them have been forgotten......I know for sure I had an early windows phone, the Motorola MPX200, followed by the MPX220. I had another windows phone

Reply to Preview of Touch Apps for Word, Excel and PowerPoint for W10 now in the Windows Store. in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

I don't have a touch screen on my pc, but am running Windows 10 Tech Preview, so decided to download the beta version of Word. I'm pretty impressed. It's simple, smooth, and has all of the features of Word that I'm used to using in Office 2010 (I have 2013 but haven't installed it). I also have a Windows Phone, so am looking forward to testing Windows 10 on that as soon as the tech preview is released. The touch versions of the Office Suite will be making i

Reply to Windows 10 Icons - You cannot be serious, Microsoft! in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

[quote who="kryo" reply="25" id="3518516"] I could live with it if they were all flat (still beats the monochrome glyphs that they had in VS), but they aren't even consistent. Some are isometric (the computer) and some are mixed (network folder). Some aren't flat or isometric (the disc drive). Consistent look and feel is one of the key parts of UX. [/quote] It's a preview version, not anywhere near finished. I'm sure that the

Reply to Firefox 35.0 Crash Report [@ wbload.dll@0xbae8 ] in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

[quote who="Bakensobek" reply="4" id="3516526"] I found a solution for Firefox -- in the Options > General > General tab, uncheck the "Use Hardware acceleration when available." Then the program can be skinned without issues. At least, this works for me. [/quote] Works for me as well. It's becoming increasingly difficult to remember all of the various fixes for firefox, just to get it to play nice with windowblinds....

Reply to WindowBlinds application compatibility issues in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

1) Sumatra pdf viewer is showing the same titlebar problem that FF 33 is showing. 2) Windows 7 3) Any theme 4) Title bar not skinning properly, buttons transparent as well. *Sumatra was skinning fine until they did an update on 10/18. In Sumatra, if you go to settings and uncheck "use tabs", the problem goes away. I posted this in another thread before someone pointed me to this thread.

Reply to Slow Firefox in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

Did you clear your browser cache? Also, I would suggest loading FF without any add-on's and then adding them back one at a time to see if one of them may be causing some problem. If all else fails, you can save your bookmarks using MozBackup, uninstall FF, and reinstall.
