Reply to DesktopX 1.1 is coming... in WinCustomize News JoeUser Forums

Chad, It's not always to reproduce errors in order to correct them. I've done lots of DX development and have occasionally encountered the same problem, though I have not been able to isolate what causes the issue. Believe me Stardock do the best they can but it's not always that easy unless you can give them a concrete example that can be reproduced every time.

DX Theme discipline in WinCustomize News JoeUser Forums

I've noticed a continuing trend to make DesktopX themes for a variety of resolutions. I understand the inclination to do this, it appears easier to just switch resolution, move some objects and resave. However, it is in fact a poor long term strategy if you intend to improve and upd

A sad fairwell in WinCustomize News JoeUser Forums

I'm sure he would have prefered a quiet exit but that would be a waste. It's hard to believe that he'd not even used a PC until a couple of years ago. Since then his work

Reply to My problems with WinStyles (long) in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Christ what a drama. It seems to me that some people just want Skinning to be a 'cultish' dark art that only a few geeky people have access to. Until a couple of years ago I didn't know what skinning was. I found that VDE and then DesktopX offered me something I loved and could get into. Why anything that makes getting your desktop to look great easier should be slated is beyond me. Why not make it easier for Joe Public. This appliction is not even at 1.0 yet and Stard

Reply to The NEW new economy: Respect THY customers in WinCustomize News JoeUser Forums

From my experience on IRC many potential customers have visited. Stardock staff have sat back and let the other users do the selling. Now THAT is good marketing. Craeonics: As a professional marketeer I don't delude myself that marketing is a remarkable science. It is common sense. The tragic thing is that most companies lack this basic common sense. Stardock have the right attitude; the right people in the right places. 1) A CEO who is a figurehead who exudes confidence in his pro
