Some skin authors include more than one size of the included wallpaper, e.g., 1024x768; 1280x1024, etc., which would then display it more than once; each size being displayed separately.

Thanks for the reply and especially the valued information re: contacts for Wincustomize. For me, the matter is closed. I can sympathize with the difficulty in making judgments in regard to the mass of wallpapers you guys must have to peruse. But apparently what you would deem a good Desktop wallpaper is not something shared by me or anyone else who has been using my photo on their Desktop. hehe But that's fine... it's your site and your call. And knowing that our "tastes" are apparentl

Jafo, 1. It would have been nice, much better IF I had been given a way to contact you or Zoomba. I feel this issue could have been resolved quickly, one way or the other. I'm assuming of course, that I would have been treated as kindly and fairly by either/both of you as I have been over the years by my contacts with Stardock support who have been nothing less than stellar. 2. May I humbly suggest that a note be posted, perhaps in the Wallpaper upload section as to the policy
My first was a 4-CD set of Beethoven's symphonies from the Musical Heritage Society.

Was the wallpaper sent to your personal page or was it in a totally wrong gallery (like logons)? If it was regulated to your personal gallery that's the way it is. It was decided that even if a skin or wall wasn't "ready for prime time" on the main page an artist should still have the opportunity to show it off. Sorry you didn't get your expected response in your expected time-frame. I can't explain that but I'm willing to take a shot at helping.</div

2of3.... you misunderstood and misconstrued what I wrote above. I wrote: " My respect for Wincustomize has dropped considerably from this. " I have been an Object Desktop and Wincustomize subscriber for many years. I will continue to be a loyal customer and supporter of Stardock. But I will not be submitting any further skins, wallpapers, etc., to Wincustomize nor renew my 2-year Wincustomize subscription unless I someday get a reasonable response from Wincustomize about this matter. <b

Thanks for pointing out how to delete the wallpaper in question . . . DONE. I won't be submitting anything further to Wincustomize, which I also stated in my last ticket reply to Stardock support. Having something not approved is fine. But approving something and then not displaying it in the item's respective Gallery and further not responding to queries is unacceptable. My respect for Wincustomize has dropped considerably from this.
I have submitted a ticket to Stardock Support on this issue but they replied that it is beyond their area of support. The information was forwarded to Wincustomze but I've heard nothing for several weeks. What I would like to know is how to remove an item from "My skins" which isn't showing up in the regular Gallery. There is the option to "Edit" the item but I can't find a way to remove it. THANKS
I also had a terrible time trying to update to the new v. 6. First, SDC prompted me to update itself, which I did. After the auto restart of SDC, I selected WindowBlinds 6 and read the "History" information, which also stated what version of SDC was necessary before updating to WB 6. I checked the just updated version and it was the correct one. I then, according to the destructions, tried to uninstall v. 5.5 but it failed because it said some file (sorry, can't remember which one, but
Thanks! That fixed it for me too!
Yep, I just tried SDC a few minutes ago and the "Object Desktop" section is still blank!
I've done searches and can't find the saved WindowBlinds. It says its in a Temporary Folder. What Temporary Folder? Can't you save them and load it later? There seems to be problems with them, so can't I save it to a folder or DVD? Instead of going through the hassle of trying to find those downloaded skins, right-click on the "Download" button and choose, "Save target as" which will bring
I was using WB trial then bought SDC and upgraded to the full WB only to find it's not working at all. Going to try a clean in stall of it once SDC is able to connect to SD again It is absolutely a MUST, that you uninstall the trial version of WindowBlinds and reboot before installing the purcha
Simply typing: "Bump" would have sufficed rather than blurting out a pejorative toward the very folks that might help. Not too intelligent, eh?
Thanks Neil.
I'm running Vista Ultimate 32-bit and WB 5.5.1.025. In the WindowBlinds configuration window, when I click on "Windows Aero", the preview displays Windows XP Style. . . very strange. Would anyone know what causes this and more importantly, how about a fix? I've contacted Stardock support but perhaps someone here might respond faster. <a href="http://img227.imageshack.us/my.php?image=wbconfigurati
The MS drivers for a lot of cards are absolute cr4p. Those "MS drivers" which you call cr4p are only provided as a service by Microsoft. They are provided TO Microsoft FROM the manufacturers, generally as interim drivers until they release the full updated drivers for their respective products. It is always prudent to check the manufacturer's website for updated drivers rather than relying upon what came with the O/S, whether it is Win 98, XP or Vista
vStyler, I have to agree with you and others who have commented on this issue. Personally, I think "60 days" is more than generous to try WindowBlinds; double that of what most other software developers offer on their Trial versions. Perhaps Stardock might consider offering a fully-functional trial of WindowBlinds and offer it for the typical 30 days? It would be interesting to learn the reasoning behind Stardock's choice to cripple WindowBlinds as they have. They may have a good reason
1) The "misfit" comment was NOT directed at you personally. IF you misconstrued it to be so, that's unfortunate and I do apologize if I somehow gave you that impression. 2) Your negative assessment of Microsoft's business policies is not one I personally share. I have found Microsoft to be more than amiable, helpful and surprisingly generous in all the times I have contacted them over the years, albeit those times being few. Do I think that there is no room for improvement? Of course no
. . . but MS does many odd things, most of which are designed to increase the amount of money they can manage to pry out of your pocket. Yeh, that Microsoft evil empire is something ain't it? I mean Apple and every other corporation in the world is the antithesis of Microsoft. None but Microsoft has the bottom dollar as its prime interest. Personally, I couldn't care less what Microsoft's internal policy is nor it's goals. All I care about is product quality
I'm another one of "those" who really likes Vista. In the beginning, I said I would hold off mainly due to the cost. But when I suddenly got hit with a reality check, the cost differential between XP Pro and Vista Ultimate OEM was a mere $50. Given the age of XP, the cost for Vista was on par or perhaps even less, given inflation, etc. Secondly, I upgraded (in place install) over my XP Home. I did have a problem on the first attempt, but that was due to my own ignorance, which I suspect
Hey, what's good for the goose is good for the gander. Why should Google be exempt from anti-trust violations just because the company isn't spelled, "MICROSOFT".
That's YOUR experience and hardly typical of the hundreds of thousands of others who have installed Vista without issues. Comparing Vista with ME is ludicrous and reveals a measure of ignorance on your part. Most problems encountered, regardless of what O/S one is using are due to user error, either during installation, because of some alleged "tweaking" that was done that was supposed to improve how Microsoft designed the O/S to operate efficiently and productively or the machine has mal
What you see is "normal" since the Trial version only will display transparency for the default skins that came with it. Downloaded per-pixel skins won't display their transparency properly or at all.

PS! If you have Vista installed and try to install XP as a second OS it wont work. You need to have XP installed then install Vista over it. Sorry, but that isn't true. Although the preferred method is to install the "older" O/S first and then Vista, it can be done the other way round.
