I just updated to v2.91[b] via Impulse. When I go to "Desktop/Personalize/Desktop Background" the DeskScapes items is no longer displayed in the list. I can use the "Run" option in Impulse for DeskScapes to use the dream files. They are located in: C:\Users\username\Documents\Stardock\Dreams. How can I get DeskScapes back into the Background list?

THANKS!
Xiandi, Sorry, but apparently my question wasn't phrased correctly. What I want to know is WHERE in SKS 6 one can set such parameters as the rollup height, etc. I hope what I'm wanting to know is a bit clearer now. THANKS!
In SKS Pro 6.x, where is the section where you can add/modify the "rollup" feature? I can't seem to locate it.
[quote who="Neil Banfield" reply="9" id="1910534"]There is an internal update which should resolve this though I am unsure on the expected release date. I should point out that the message is actually harmless so feel free to ignore it until the update is released.[/quote] This was back on October 19, 2008... It is now January 10, 2009 and I just installed WindowFX 3.09[a].008, via Impulse, on my XP SP3 system and I am getting this same error. The error may be harmless but
There is an old bit of advice which I think aptly applies here. If you are looking to buy a TV, appliance, etc., reading reviews can be helpful. But, if you really want to find out which brand is reliable, call the repair shops and ask them which brand/model they see least.

And I can't tell you how many machines I have had to disinfect that were running AVG, Norton or McAfee; most fully up-to-date.
Well, I wanted to get back to you to let you know that I finally was successful in converting my favorite old cursor to a CursorFX theme. It took quite a bit of trial & error fooling around with formats to get things right, but it all worked out just dandy. Thanks for your getting me on the right track. [e digicons]B)[/e]
When clicking on the "More info" button for individual items, e.g., in "My Desktop", it would be more than desirable to actually get some more information concerning a product of interest. For example, clicking on "More info" for the item, "Component Tray" brings you to the store but nothing at all is to be found for this item. Even doing a Search for it results in nothing. So, no info? No sale! [e digicons]^_^[/e]
[quote who="Bichur" reply="5" id="1921879"] if it's the plus version it should be similar to xp plus version when i open configure, i can click a configure button on the top half of the window, then click a configure button on the bottom of the next window, then i get options to import graphics and set things like number of frames and frame rate (or use a script) [/quote] Okay, thanks for all the information. I was able to follow your destructions quite easily, bu
Bichur, Methinks you understood what I want to do... take a regular cursor (set) and convert it to a CursorFX Theme. I can do #2, convert the .cur files to .png easy enough, but I'm not sure what you mean in regard to the .ani files by " put them back together in a strip "? I can open the .ani files I think? in Animation Shop, perhaps not. I haven't tried that yet. What program would you recommend to do what you said to do with the .ani files? And of course, what does one
1) Is it possible to take a Windows cursor (theme) and convert it to a CursorFX theme? 2) How is this done, assuming the answer to #1 is a "Yes"? The Windows cursor that I want to convert consists of 4 animated (.ani) files and the rest standard (.cur) files. The reason for wanting to do this is so I can take advantage of the Options available in CursorFX, e.g., shadow, sounds, trails, sizing, etc. THANKS
Thanks! Never thought to look in "Settings"..... I rarely go there so I don't have a clue how that option got unchecked. Working now after enabling it.
When I run WindowBlinds (v. 6.30.100) on my Vista (32-bit) system, the Notification Area icon isn't displayed. Any suggestions on how to try and get it back? And no, it isn't "hidden".
Tried downloading one of the WindowBlinds skins and no go. [e digicons]:annoyed:[/e]
I know I posted this before but it doesn't seem to exist any longer. I'm looking for a source to download a wallpaper file as shown in the screenshot below. It was implied to be included in the Vista wallpaper pack on Wincustomize. There were many that were similar in that pack but the actual one I'm looking for was not included. Thanks for any help in providing a link. <img src="http://img145.imageshack.us/img145/8105/blackauroracp0.gif" alt="" width="200" he
Can someone point me to where I can download a copy of this wallpaper? I've found many similar but not this exact one. My own search has turned up blank.
Impulse is perty fur shore. However, although I have been using it as a comparison to SDC for quite some time, I feel that I am going to be distancing myself from much of Stardock because it appears things are moving more toward "gaming", which is not even on my list of bare interests. But, if they are going to eventually phase out SDC, obviously Impulse will be what I have to use.
Thanks! I went ahead and purchased CursorFX Plus since Stardock offered one of those "can't refuse" deals to previous owners of CursorXP. BTW, it works great in Vista (32-bit); no problems whatsoever. It took a little experimentation to figure out how to add my CursorXP themes (just double-click on the file). Nice to be able to choose different cursors again. :CONGRAT:
SDC v. 2.52.516 Build 165 No, I have not purchased CFX. I wanted to try the free version before committing to the Plus version. :D
I'm a long-time customer of Stardock having purchased ObjectDesktop, CursorXP, etc., etc., and have been using Stardock Central for years. My problem is that I do not see CursorFX in SD under Misc or anywhere else. I did read one post here about refreshing an item in the Options/Tools? but that didn't help either. I'm running the latest version of SD. I would prefer to download/install CursorFX via SD rather than downloading it and installing it as a free-standing application.
One of the most animated skins has got to be Antares by Treetog. They don't get much better than that, IMHO.. and no offense toward anyone else's offerings, either prior to Antares or afterward.
What's the file extension of the file you downloaded? If it is a ".zip" file, if you open it, does it contain a ".wba" file? If so, extract the ".wba" file to another folder and then install it. If it is a ".zip" file and you open it, does it have a long list of files? If so, simply rename the extension from ".zip" to ".wba" and then install it.
I really like the new GUI of the latest beta version. The changes are, IMHO, a positive step. There is one item, however, which I find less intuitive and even potentially confusing. In the menu on the left there is the item, "Add visual styles", which I was just informed is identical to the option "Install skin from disk" in the "Skin options" drop down menu. If it is the intent to keep the former in the menu on the left, I think it would be less confusing to use the same phraseology; "Install s
In the new WB configuration window, which btw I really like, there is an item on the menu on the left: "Add visual styles". Is this the same thing as the item under "Skin Options" menu, "Install skin from disk"? If not, what does it do? Since the WindowBlinds development crew are making significant changes to the GUI, may I suggest that they also include a "Help" section? It is sorely needed and would help new users.
You can get the remaining items in the System Information section to display by placing your cursor on the last item and then using the down "arrow" on the keyboard to move through the list.
