Reply to Microsoft about to start paying $2.5 Million PER DAY fine in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

just because Windows comes with a WMP, Outlook Express and IE, it doesn't stop people installing alternatives such as Winamp, Firefox and Thunderbird Ah, but if you ask some developers they will tell you that it does. Netscape has tried for years to convince anyone that would listen that their demise was all Microsoft's fault. Forget that their bro

I wish, but until I have an HD TV it's not really worth it. I've played one, and they are awesome. You can do so much with them and the games are simply fantastic, for the most part. Anyway, I'll probably aim at getting one around the Halo 3 timeframe!

You don't seem to understand tongue-in-cheek humor Of course, labeling your previous post as humour implies it has even the slightest element of humour for those of us who aren't sitting with you at your desk as you type it to pick up on. Which your statement had not an inkling of humour to it. <

what does this say about Stardock's code in general? I'm sure if it says anything, it says that it's holding up pretty well considering it was probably written before these issues were even comprehended. If you're trying to infer that the code on this site is sub-standard, I think you need to re-evalu

Reply to Is Moving This Up, Possible? (screen included) in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

Since no one else seems to know I'll take a shot. I'm pretty sure that isn't possible, at least not without writing some Windowblinds style OS hooks that dynamically rearrange explorer windows. Your first problem is that the dialog in your example was designed to have the FS browser extend from the top of the window to the bottom, and the thumbnail section is only designed to extend from the right of the dialog to the left of the FS viewer section. So,

Reply to A humble request of the skinners in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Psikotik, you're a braver man than I am to make such requests but I do agree with you at least on item #1.. I can't say I agree too much on the colors suggestion though as I find the skins with light color schemes are typically the only ones I can use for an extended amount of time. Being colorblind, contrast is really important in a skin and it seems that the darker the skin is, the less contrast there seems to be and therefore the less likely I am to

One thing about computers as in many things, the more you know about them, the better off you are I agree with you there, after all I am a programmer by trade but that doesn't mean I have 6 or more hours to waste on installing a video card.

well, send an e-mail to SD and see if they respond. You are using the free version so if it doesn't work you're just kind of on your own. I can tell you however that the paid version works just fine on AMD 64 processors because that is what I use and I never have any problems.

Here's the one I bought recently: http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16817194004 It has seperate power connectors for PCI/Ex video cards and all of the cabling is modular. Only use the cables you need for the devices in your computer. I've had the PWS for a few months now and have had no problems whatsoever.

If you open a file to edit it will save the original before saving any modificated version I'm not sure whether you're being difficult intentionally or what but I would tend to agree with Zubaz.
