Reply to Marathon Icon Fundraiser Update in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

No I don't know what Appogee is? Well I meant that it was iconpackager I should have said that, sorry. I'm not upset or anything, just bought to support. I can't change from Plastic Fantastic and Tigris cause I found an awesome background and my desktop in perfect now. For now anyways..

Reply to New Master Skin: Light Mark by Z71 in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Thanks man, installed Light Mark again cause I love orange. I just wish I could find a cool Vista icon set. I can't stop using Plastic Fantastic so I can only use a WB that works well with that set. I still feel bad about criticizing since I can't even re-color anything, let alone trying to make a WB skin. Well at least I'll have it when the icons I am waiting for get made by someone with talent ;)

I bought this one and I feel the need to criticize. It's just a personal thing as I don't like the copyright on the wallpaper and the name of the skin on some of the windows. I couldn't live with the start button either, if it was turned 45 degrees to the left that would make the difference. Wish there was a way..awesome dock zoomer. Oh may as well vent I don't like the letter boxing of the wallpaper. I am sorry to be so negative. I still give it 4.5 stars except for my minor gripes.

Tigris appreciation in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

I can't post on the Tigris page so I wanted to make a thread in appreciation of Tiggz' work. I am using Tigris WB, Object Dock zoomers and wallpaper and the Plastic Fantastic icon set. I don't think my desktop could any more perfect. Thank you Tiggz, 5 bucks well spent!

Reply to Living in Windows 7: Part 1 in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

I don't know if it's a fanboy thing really. Windows is just not good. I have 64bit Vista Ultimate and it runs great but I also am constantly running registry cleaners and deleting cache and whatnot. I know there is a lot of feelings about registry cleaners but I will tell you after just a month I downloaded a reg cleaner and it found a little over 8000 "errors". I threw caution to the wind and deleted them all and the speed improvemen was 100% or better. Shouldn't be this way.

I don't find that Vista is so bad. To me Windows is Windows, until they scrap DOS and go with a more Unix-like kernel it will always be a mess. I really don't have high hopes for Win7, I just expect it to be Vista with different icons, more wallpapers, more code and higher hardware requirements. Same problems that will be fixed with service packs. I'm ok with that, I almost with Microsoft would just come out and say, this is it. Yeah it kind of sucks but overall it works, here ya go.

Help with Iconpackager in Object Desktop WinCustomize Forums

I am having some problems. I reformatted and reinstalled Vista 64 because I made a mess of things "beta" testing stuff and just decided to start clean. However when I installed icon packager a bunch of my icons disappeard. Not system wide icons but several application icons. I have removed and re-installed icon-packager a few times (now I am getting errors about my serial number which I guess is too many installations, but be assured it is only on one computer). I did finally get things to re

Vista 64bit is well worth it in Windows Vista WinCustomize Forums

Ok I have been up and running Vista Ultimate 64bit for just under a week and it is much better than 32bit was. I highly recommend to anyone thinking of taking the plunge. I have had no trouble at all although not all software is available in 64bit most of what I use works fine so far. I have chosen 64bit wherever possible though. iTunes, all Stardock software. I love it. Why computer makers don't install 64bit from the factory and force upgrades is beyond me the benefits are well worth it.</p

Reply to I am loving Vista, thanks again to Stardock! in Windows Vista WinCustomize Forums

Quick update I have installed Vista Ultimate 64bit, no problems at all. Until I installed some optional updates and had to remove them. That was the only hitch so far, as of now running perfect! I don't really notice any speed differences anywhere but at least everything is working fine. iTunes is also working good, installed the 64bit version and no problems there either.

Reply to I am loving Vista, thanks again to Stardock! in Windows Vista WinCustomize Forums

Well I have done quite a bit of research and sent many emails. Looks like everything I use, including iTunes will be AOK on 64 bit. I will be home later tonight to throw the new hard disk in and load up Vista Ultimate 64, can't wait! I am tossing around the idea of dual-booting with Ubuntu Linux but not so sure yet..

Reply to Why am I using Vista??? in Windows Vista WinCustomize Forums

Sounds a lot like the issues I experienced with OS X, 10.3.x was the last version I used. EVERY time I put the pointer on the dock I had to wait for the disk access for it to expand. Don't even think about how long the Apple menu would take to open, sometimes 10seconds or more. My guess that stuff was related to the G4 processor not being all Apple claimed...Personally I enjoy Vista all except for the UAC. The rest is quite smooth.

Reply to MyColors 2.5 Support Thread in MyColors WinCustomize Forums

Is My Colors..I am not sure what it's for. If I have WindowBlinds what is the advantage to adding MyColors? I have looked around but can't find info on this. Is it just a way to apply all the themes, icons, sounds, etc. Long as I have those apps installed too?
