Reply to Majorly improved Weather update coming soon! in Docks WinCustomize Forums

Despite earlier problems, my docklet has been finding my weather (Sydney) properly for a couple of weeks now; however, the flyout forecast is now displaced by two days; ie it's now monday, but the flyout runs "today","tomorrow","monday","tuesday","wednesday". The current weather & temp in the main docklet are correct, though. Any chance this will be fixed, or is it just me?

Another vote for TopDesk. It does make working between lots of open windows easier. However, you could also try QTTabBar, which makes Windows Explorer behave like a tabbed browser. I'm a longtime Avant user & like it's style of tab implementation & mouse gestures (much better than any firefox configuration I've tried) so I'm used to not using keyboard shortcuts very much.

I used to hate having to ....click....and....wait.....three times to turn off my laptop. I use an OD+ untabbed dock and this worked for me: Right click a dock icon & select This Dock > Add > New Shortcut You'll get a new blue ? dock icon Right click the new ? icon & click Dock Entry Properties Fill out properties as follows: Title: shutdown (...or Off!, or a profanity, or nothing, it's just the text label) Link: C\WINDOWS\system32\shutdown.exe Leave "Show

Has IE7 eaten my OD favicons? in Docks WinCustomize Forums

I have OD+ 1.30.022 and have just installed IE7, although I use Avant. When using the favorites menu in either Avant or IE7, all my custom assigned favicons (via Favorg) show up, both for folders & individual links; however the flyout menu in OD for favorites just shows custom icons for the folders & gives me the default IE icon for individual entries. This means I have to plough through each icon by scrolling & reading the title label instead of just nailing a distinctive icon. If I go

Surprise automatic installation of WB skin in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

Normally, if I like a skin, I click "download", then get the file download dialogue box, click "save", then the "save as" dialog (I always download everything to the desktop) & then it's the download animation. Done it a million times. This time, however, with "Buuf", after clicking download, the WB icon appears in the systray, I get the "Buuf-loading" graphic & the WB has not only loaded itself, but also installed it's own toolbar icons & file animations. The skins OK, but thi

Zubaz, you're wrong - I have learnt something.... My plaintive little bleat was not only answered promptly by helpful strangers on this forum, but jpkylegirl emailed me pretty much immediately. I've learnt that Stardock are,...er...well,...nice. I have always thought that their products were good. It would certainly appear that their creators care about them. There seems to be something about not looking at Microsoft corporate graphical branding without becomi

Where is my OD subsciption expiry date? in New Users WinCustomize Forums

I cannot for the life of me remember when I bought Object Desktop & subscibed to WC. ( different dates) Was it a 12 month subsciption? Do I only have access to OD 2006? Will SD central just keep updating me with current/07 stuff till the 12 months runs out or do I need to commence a new subscription to access the 07 bleeding edge? I am certain I knew the answers to these noob questions once, but I've become so accustomed to OD just being there, I've just lost track. Neither of my OD/SD

Apple startbutton-gimme a break!! SS mini-tute? in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

It is beyond me why some WB skins, particularly a couple of nice clean ones, are submitted to a windows customization site, for use with a windows program, on windows computers, owned by people who didn't buy a mac, HAVE AN APPLE START BUTTON! Is there some simple SkinStudio technique, for those of us who are a little mystified/afraid of the application, to change just the start button?

Ohmygod.....I've lost my Aura! in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

After trying many WB5 skins, I keep coming back to aura, despite one small niggle where it would not put the selection dot in radio buttons. This led to a couple of problems, so I thought I would try reinstalling the skin. I stupidly deleted it from WB & ThemeManager before I realised that there is nowhere to DL it from...it was preinstalled on WB5. Help!

Change item order in flyouts in Docks WinCustomize Forums

Before I reformated my computer, when I selected the My Favorites icon, the flyout arc of icons was centred on (perhaps coincidentally) a site beginning with "W" that also happened to be one of the most used.All good. However, no matter where I try and change the order, (Avant, IE, C:\Doc & Set\User\Fav) I can't change the order from alphabetical, putting "W"out of sight. The favorites folder was saved & tranferred as was, with no deletions or add

For some reason, the screenshots page does not display properly for me....& I haven't drunk enough coffee this morning for my non-geek brain to put pictures to the winspeak.I have WB5 & run an Expose' clone called Topdesk; is Alsnap more wonderful? Topdesk costs only a couple of bucks, & I love it, but I'm willing to try anything. I am also really interested in soundschemes other than XP defaults.......
