Reply to transparancy in vista in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

I have the same problem dvljigen. However, I have partitioned my hard drive and installed Windowblinds 6 on both XP and Vista Ultimate. Transarency works on the XP partition, but not on the Vista partition !? On the same machine ! I cant figure out why, unless it has something to do with Vista using up alot of graphical resources, not leaving enough for Windowblinds ? *Gutted* ...but glad I kept my XP partition !

Hey thanks man. I've downloaded Dreamscene and Dreamscape, but it says I need to apply Aero theme for it to work. Lol, I dont have the Aero theme as an option in the Display Properties so I can only assume my graphics card isnt powerful enough !? Stupid Technology.

wb aero with vista in Windows Vista WinCustomize Forums

I have XP & Vista on seperate partitions. I dont have the 'aero' option in my properties, so I think my graphics card isnt powerful enough !? However the transparency in WB on XP works fine. So... Is it possible to load WB into Vista and use the transparency effect that way !? I'm well gutted as the whole Aero thing looks cool and I cant even use the Dreamscene thingy-ma-bob. Any advice !? Tips ? Ways arou

Reply to thumbnails in Beginners WinCustomize Forums

Hi there ! Thanks for the reply. I was trying to refer to the default thumbnail view in explorer (without an icon being selcted/highlighted). The icons in thumbnail view are surrounded by a box (in my case, grey). If I cant remove that box altogether, do you know if I can change it to white (to blend in with the explorer backround !?) Thanks again for trying to help ! <img src="http://images.stardock.com/wc/smiles/BigSmile.gif" border=0 align="

Weather idea !? in OS Customization WinCustomize Forums

I have an idea, but I dont know if its possible to do. I have a pretty cool dark field as my wallpaper and I'm wondering if its possible to somehow incorperate a real-time 'weather effect' on it (so when its sunny outside, it reflects that on my desktop backround, same for lightning etc... -ideally seamlessly changing between weather patterns). I have seen the mini-weather apps, but thought a large one on my backround w
