Not only is it easier to go through all of Stardock’s programs but many programs you’ve purchased can be re-downloaded directly from the new store, no client required (and we’re adding more all the time).

OK, I'm off topic here, but I missed the fact that we had a mod named Skittles.  

 

Where did she come from and how did I miss her?

With an Object Desktop subscription, do you get to reinstall the individual programs that you haven't purchased separately if you don't renew?  In other words, if you download one of the Object Desktop subscription programs that you haven't bought separately, can you still use them (if already installed) or re-install them (if not installed) past the subscription end date if you've backed up the .exe?

It's funny that a random girl shows up and right away the fellas all go crazy.

Its the nature of the beast.  Especially if Skittles' avatar looks so cool. At any rate welcome to the WC Skittles.

Looks nice and clean. Like it.

But:

- I have no download buttons for the entire game section. If that starts to work i can stop using Impulse.

- I preordered SoaSE: Rebbellion, its missing in the list. It would be nice to appear there as preorder. Or make a new category Preorders.

- The Pre-Order of SoaSE: Rebellion is missing in my Order History (it did order through Impulse, maybe that is the reason?)

- It would be cool if i could see on the product page that i already own the product (if thats the case).

 

Edit:

Question: I preordered Rebellion from Impulse. Can i use my registration on the Stardock shop so i dont have to download over Impulse?

What would be nice is if Stardock put the date of the version so we can "see" when the last update to the software was done.  Otherwise I have to start up my software and check the version. For those of us with OD that is a lot of software to verify we are running the current version.  Store looks great though

Skittles is a Stardockian.  She's a really good designer.

She's been around.

Quoting Scrofulous1,
I find it interesting that most (but not all) of the Premium Themes do not display the system requirements listed on the product purchase page.

For example here is Koi: https://store.stardock.com/product/ESD-SDD-W563 (system requirements are not listed)

but for Abracadabra: https://store.stardock.com/product/ESD-SDD-W276 (system requirements are listed)

I know that most people will be coming from Stardock.com where the system requirements are indeed listed, but it would not hurt to list them any time there is a  "Buy Now" button, or at least be consistent. 

 

 

 

We are working on filling in the system requirements/missing screenshots/other info over the next several days.

This is something we are definitely working on implementing.

Quoting Zubaz,
All teh Desktop customization apps are good-to-go .

For folks that already have one of them installed and want to update it..is it safe? When I tried to update WB from the store (old store) it screwed up my PC. There were no instructions or mention of uninstalling previous versions before updating etc. Have the downloads from the new store been tested? Can you update your current versions from there or do you need to uninstall any current version? Which ones, etc?

I kind of liked it the way Skittles had it but I suppose either one (or both) could apply.

And a "hello" to Skittles.

?????

The new store is simple, clean, and easy to follow. Have one situation I haven't figured out. I requested an email with all my information on it and rteceived it with only one problem. Under everything it has an expiration date except for wincustomize. Pleas advise me what I have done wrong here not to be able to find this information?

Yeah same here, starting to worry it's been forgotten. I know that's probably not the case, but just to be able to see it would be reassuring.

Skittles probably avoids the boards to avoid getting nerd slobber on her.

I find it strange that gender is so amplified on the one medium where it is essentially nonexistent.

Dave,

Why don't you simply print the page (from https://store.stardock.com/myaccount/products ) to a pdf. There are lots of free pdf writers out there. ( doPDF comes to mind ) and thus you need not worry about it. My page shows when my WC sub expires..
