Some help to those who's existing Dreams weren't automatically moved over for them! Try the following: Open up the run dialog, enter in the following and press enter: "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Stardock\DeskScapes\Dreams" This will take you to the old place Dreams were stored. (That above path is equivalent to your "C:\ProgramData\Stardock\DeskScapes\Dreams" where "C:\" is the drive Vista is installed onto) Do the same with the following: "%HOMEPATH%\Documents\Stardock

Reply to Reserving edge screen for dock, not including the tabs? in Docks WinCustomize Forums

Hi jimmyyy, are you still having the problem of tabbed docks autohiding not on the edge of the screen but pushed in a bit, when reserve-edge is used? Had a hard time being sure of what exactly the problems were being described on this thread ; A screenshot would likly help!

Hey guys, a new beta of ObjectDock / ObjectDock Plus for v1.6 is going to be going up on Stardock Central very soon, maybe even today. A lot of work has been done fixing up & reworking flyouts - should be no visible changes, but under the hood there have been lots of modifications. Please try this beta out and make sure it still works good for you / nothing is broken!! We've tried it out extensivly here but we want to be sure it works for every user, so feedback is apprecated - thanks e

Reply to New DeskScape and DreamMaker Updates in Animated Wallpapers WinCustomize Forums

Good news guys, we figured it out. Had to do with DreamMaker. DreamMaker only needs to be 32bit so it is distributed as such...however it has a file in common with DeskScapes, specifically DreamControl.dll. So, when DreamMaker gets installed/updated after DeskScapes has been installed, the 64bit dll was overwritten with the 32bit one from DreamMaker, and DeskScape's switching would stop working. We're in the process of reorganizing this so that that doesn't happen! Thanks for r

Reply to New DeskScape and DreamMaker Updates in Animated Wallpapers WinCustomize Forums

Yep, confirmed that it is a problem that one of the files that the installer installed is a 32-bit version on some machines ; we're working to figure out why that is happening! Thank you for your patience while we work this one out, we hope to have a solution very quickly. In the mean time, I would recommend to uninstall and reinstall DeskScapes using Stardock Central to try and work around the problem. So, steps (1) Uninstall DeskScapes from SDC (you can leave your downloaded dreams in

Reply to Dream Maker problem in DreamScenes WinCustomize Forums

Hi AzDude, No news on it ; it worked fine on the 64bit machines that I tested. This week I'm doing some work on the DreamMaker program however so I thought I'd hold off til I can get out a new release and see how that one goes.

Reply to Dream Maker problem in DreamScenes WinCustomize Forums

Ah sorry just read there. 64bit. I wonder if that has anything to do with it ; there's always the chance of some little incompatibility with 64 in the dreammaker that we'd have to work out. Will look in on that first thing tomorrow.

Reply to SDMCP developers look here in Stardock Support General WinCustomize Forums

Hi dragonmage, fyi SDMCP is going byebye in the not so distant future. The tray handling has been completly rewritten to not use a separate exe, and so that it can hook in and look at current icons so that it never misses any. Hopefully this helps work around the issue that they're seeing with the program. And hopefully also the PAM developer will fix their stuff too so its not doing anything funny if it is, and everything will be good <img src="http://images.stardock.com/wc/smiles/Smil

Reply to Dock hangs with hourglass in Docks WinCustomize Forums

Hi Sherman, What kind of docklets do you have on your dock? I'd recommend heading into the Advanced Options and choosing the options to temporarily disable docklets. Reload ObjectDock and see if it still takes a while. If not, then there’s a good chance one of the docklets you're running is slowing it down. I've found "SysStats" docklets tend to do this...memory meters/cpu meters that kindof thing. If that doesn't do it, I'd try temporarily turning off system tray functionality

Reply to Right Click is dead? in Object Desktop WinCustomize Forums

Hi MadFooBar, Unfortunately the Shareware builds sometimes don't get as much attention as the full builds get. Sadly in this case it looks like we're not quite stepping with our best foot forward when introducing users to the program...it looks like perhaps that the last time the program was updated a new shareware build was supposed to be released as well...and that just didn't happen. The last-released full-version of RightClick on StardockCentral was v1.2. The good news, is

Apple forces me to buy iTunes music They convinced other people who dont know whats going on to buy me an iPod as a present. I could either re-sell it for less than fair value, which would be insulting to those who got it for me, or use the gift cards they got to buy music and then thereafter continue to buy music from iTunes, since I can't buy music from anywhere else now that I have it. Wasn't my choice, it was

Hi Bluediablito: We'll be adding SystemTray support back for Vista & 64bit shortly, as in within the next few months. That's the only specific feature that's not available, though, in Vista we recommend running ObjectDock "as administrator" where applicable. Thanks, -Jeff Bargmann ObjectDock Developer

Reply to Can You Build Google or Vista Sidebar Gadgets? in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Hi thomassen, Just FYI, the only part of a vista gadget that can be semi-transparent is the static-image background. You can specify a png and it will honor it. From then on out, if you try to write text over what would otherwise be a transparent area, or apply any more pngs/etc over what would be transparent... you're not going to like the result

Hi Jimer, I'm pretty sure that that is a by-design behavior with MSN Messenger chat windows. They come up as a little notification in the bottom right hand corner of the screen, and if ignored they just go away to the background until you click on it. I don't particularly see a way around this unfortunatly. I tried it on several machines, uninstalling ObjectDock completly from some and rebooting and trying, and I observed that exact behavior. (One had MSN 'Live' another had v7.5 i belie

Reply to Need help with Object Dock launch problem! in ObjectDock WinCustomize Forums

Hi Protaxion, There's a couple different ways you can approach this one. One, I'm seeing that its having trouble finding certain files, which means that its "Start-In" directory might be wrong. Compare the two links to make sure that the "Start in" directory listed in ObjectDock is the same. A second choice you have, is to make a shortcut directly to the shortcut. Now normally, if you take a shortcut and drag it on to an ObjectDock dock, ObjectDock will, instead of just pointin

Hi Dark knight, Sorry that the Library functionality hasn't worked our for you...unfortunatly in this release there isn't a way to stop it from creating that directory. I've made note however to add that for the next maintenance release so that OD only tries to add the library folder once per user.

Reply to improve request in ObjectDock WinCustomize Forums

It is not typical for ObjectDockt to use 100% CPU. RocketDock doesn't do anything special to handle the CPU during mouseovers ; Both programs basically do what they can do animate as quickly and at as many frames as possible, both using GDI+ for their actual drawing-the-screen (which is what uses the bulk of CPU). And unlike other programs, ObjectDock is a program that you can count on for improvements and creative innovation, just take a look at its 6 year history to see how far its come <img s
