Reply to Weather Widget Zipcodes in OS Customization WinCustomize Forums

I'm using the object dock weather thing...thought that it essentially counted as a widget since it works in the same way (probably should've mentioned that either way [e digicons]:P[/e] ). I tried "Adelaide" and I got "Feed not available try again later" which is what I get when trying Adelaide, Australia as well. So not sure what the issue is. [e digicons]:annoyed:[/e]

Gave it a shot but unfortunately to no avail. Thanks anyway Nimbin. I live in Adelaide. So even if someone around here knows the zipcode it would be greatly appreciated.

Weather Widget Zipcodes in OS Customization WinCustomize Forums

Hey folks, Now that accuweather.com seems to have removed the zipcodes from every URL for locations outside the US does anyone know a way to find the zipcode for ones area? It seems that a large number of weather widgets only work with the zip code and do not work with the city, country info thus I need my zipcode to get them to work. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Raven

Reply to Dual Monitor problem in Animated Wallpapers WinCustomize Forums

How nice of them to exclude that info from the DeskScape website. Thanks for the answers, Lantec. Not what I was hoping to hear but it sheds some light on the situation. EDIT- Ok, I'm gonna try Stardock Support. Can't believe they have all the accounts seperate for wincustomize, forums and support...what a pain.

Dual Monitor problem in Animated Wallpapers WinCustomize Forums

Hey guys, I just purchased DeskScapes and am loving it so far but for some reason all the dreams and scapes that I select only show up on my main monitor and not my second. Second one is still displaying the usual things like my weather and clock widgets, a few docks and so on but no scapes. Any ideas? If it helps I'm running WinXP SP2 with an Intel E5200 (2.5GHz) 2Gb RAM and an nVidia 512Mb 8600GT. Thanks in advance! EDIT- Well this just keeps g

2 cursors at once in Help WinCustomize Forums

Hey folks, Got up this morning and hopped on my computer and for some reason when I move my mouse to my second monitor I get the windows cursor and the selected cursor theme showing at the same time. I tried installing a different theme, turning the themes of altogether etc etc all to no avail. Another weird thing is that if I take a screenshot only the applied theme cursor shows up in it. Any ideas folks? Thanks in advance, Raven

Reply to First Review of the iPod Touch in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Excalpius The touch based, no keys interface on those products is poorly designed at best, they tried to make it so visually pleasing that after one use it actually becomes ugly and smudged. It's a fancy gimmick and nothing more, it's not smoother or easier to use I've used an iPhone and I have made myself very familiar with it's interface and can use it really well, but in comparison to other products it's slower and more cumbersome and offers nothing that I haven't seen before and the

Reply to First Review of the iPod Touch in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

I own a Zen Neeon and a Zen Vision: M and both of them have the ability to record stuff and in very good quality as well might I add. Now onto the matter of the iPod Touch. Like all of Apple's lovely little devices it'll be half as efficient as any similar product out there and more expensive. For the life of me I can not understand why anyone would buy an iPhone when you can get a Nokia E70 which has all the best features of the iPhone and NONE of it's shortcomings for far less or why

Reply to Bootskin Error in BootSkin WinCustomize Forums

Ok, I'm resurrecting this again because the problem went away for a while but is back again. Trying the compression method (get the compressed folder and renaming the extension to .bootskin) gets me an error if I use WinRAR and no error with WinZIP, however even though it says the skin was imported successfully it still doesn't show up in the list of skins when I open the Bootskin program. Now just in case something had gone wrong with the colours and the progress bar I made a replica of my new

Reply to Steve Jobs; Can He Pull off the Magic with the iPhone? in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Still to this day the iPod and Apple in general boggles my mind. How did the iPod become such a success? From the Shuffle to the Nano to the Video, they are all huge successes and why? Because of great marketing and the lack of research people do before investing in technology. 30 minutes or less online and you can find any of a hundred similar players with the same features and more for the same price or less AND they're way less likely to break down on you. I used to use Apples, I've

Reply to Apple Releases Safari Beta for Windows in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Being in beta is no excuse for it being this bad, however maybe it's a marketing ploy to take us back to the Golden Age of Macs; Open program ERROR Open program again ERROR Hmmm, open game ERROR F*#K THIS!! Shut down ERROR Drop computer out of 5th storey window ERROR ...its typical apple style to be all show and no go so we shouldn't expect safari to be any better than it is now once it's released.

Media Players in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

Sup guys, long time no chat (no internet...for 3 months... makes jack a dull boy) Since I had no net for a while I had some spare time and so I decided to try my hand at making DesktopX objects and started making a media player among other things...now all is working as planned EXCEPT I can't figure out how to get the song title to stay inside a set part of the media player and scroll back and forth...I looked at the gadget media player settings to get an idea of what to do but that only made it

Issue with Bottom Panel image again! Help please! in LogonStudio WinCustomize Forums

Ok, again I tried to actually create a image for the bottom panel rather than use the basic option of a simple colour or two and again the top 20-25 pixels of the image have been cut off and placed at the bottom of the image when I load up the logon screen. Any ideas?

Uploading packs? in Stardock Support General WinCustomize Forums

Ok, how does one upload a pack of avatars instead of just one? I'm assuming that it would require all the avatars to be in a zip or rar folder right? I was just wondering because I tried uploading a pack a few days back and it hasn't been rejected or anything I was just wondering if maybe I did it wrong that could be causing the delay... Thanks guys

A request. in OS Customization WinCustomize Forums

Now I'd do this myself if I had the skills but I really really don't, I have a wallpaper I found and I was wondering if anyone would, if they like, make some widgets and stuff based around it like weather widgets, clocks, calendars and anything else you can think of. Now it's a Buffy the Vampire Slayer wallpaper so it's not going to be everyone's cup of tea, but if you're a Buffy fan and have some great skinning skills, it'd be really cool if you could do something with it, thanks in advance peo

Bootskin Error in BootSkin WinCustomize Forums

I'm rather confused, now I've made a fair few bootskins and to actually use them I normally get the main bitmap, the progress bar bitmap and the .ini file, zip them then change the extension to .bootskin and it's always worked, but on my latest one it wont, says there was an error and it might be due to a corrupt file or something. Now just in case I did something wrong I did the same thing with another bootskin, one that I knew had worked, and the same problem again. Any ideas folks?
