Reply to Object Desktop in 2019 in Stardockians Stardock Forums

I've been an Object Desktop subscriber for more than 10 years. My favorite program is WindowBlinds and I continue to change themes often. My next favorite is Iconpackager, you can't change your WindowBlinds theme without changing the icons!! My next favorite is DeskScapes, although when I'm using it my monitor periodically flashes on and off despite having 9 gigs of RAM and a discrete graphics card (usually drives me nuts and I have to uninstall DeskScapes).&n

Reply to Upcoming patches will slow down all Intel CPUs? in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

I just bought a new Chromebook, and Intel Pentium is on a sticker near the keyboard. I'm assuming this is affected and would be considered Linux? It's still within the return period and I'm considering just returning it and waiting until the perfected chips are being used in new devices.

Reply to CursorFX issues on Windows10 Creator's Update in CursorFX WinCustomize Forums

I'm glad it's not just me having trouble with CursorFX. I'm running version 1703, OS build 15063. When I bring up the CursorFX Control Panel, it becomes unresponsive and I have to close it with the Task Manager. If I immediately open the Control Panel again, everything is fine and I can select another cursor without any issue.

Reply to Control Panel Crashes in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

Hi tortoise14, My laptop recently updated Windows 10 and I had the exact same problem, the Control Panel crashed when I opened it. I've updated at least ten computers to the latest Creators Edition of Windows 10, and the only one I had a problem with is my laptop. I don't think it's Windowblinds that is causing the issue. My desktop is running the same version of Windows 10, and the Control Panel works perfectly. I have Windowblinds running on both syst

Reply to Iconpackager for Win 10 in Icons WinCustomize Forums

I have to agree with PoSmedley. I won't be renewing my Object Desktop subscription without Iconpackager and possibly Soundpackager. I've been using at least those three necessities for years.

Reply to Windows 10 DVD? in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

RedneckDude is right, in my research I've found that these "product keys" that programs produce are just generic. Windows 10 writes the license into the mother board. I guess if you replace your mother board then you have a problem, but not hard drives.

Reply to Pale Moon–Bad News, Worst News. Oh, and Firefox Too. in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

Just yesterday, I was working with the question of which browser to use. I've been using the 64-bit version of Chrome, but it seemed a little slow. In the morning, I was working with Opera and the afternoon with Fire Fox. I've used Pale Moon for years, but need syncing between all devices, and PM lacks in this department. I read that Opera is now using the Chromium code, but I liked it and it seemed speedier. But, if these browsers are all going to use Ch

Reply to WindowBlinds 8.09 Released in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Sorry to hear some people are having issues. Before updating today, I disabled AVG and Malwarebytes. Both ODM and WindowBlinds are reporting version 8.09. Haven't noticed any issues here so far on Windows 8.1.

Reply to Windows 9 Is Coming. What Do You Want to See? in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

I would like better voice control built into every aspect. I love how Google has integrated voice into all the important tasks for me on my Samsung S4, and it works great. I'd love to easily use my voice on my desktop. It works now, but is very clunky and many times gets what I say wrong.

Reply to Windows 8 Themes? in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

I just wanted to put in my "2 cents." I'm running Windows 8.1 and have 398 WindowBlinds skins, as I've had this program for several years. Most are not listed as compatible for Windows 8, but they look great to me! But then I'm not that picky. [e digicons]^_^[/e]

Reply to May 13 MS will release 2 ‘Critical’ and six ‘Important’ updates. in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

[quote who="Neil Banfield" reply="23" id="3466155"] If you are using Win8.1 with WB please do not install the optional update in the list until after you upgrade WB to the latest files which will be out on Wednesday. The automatic ones should be fine, just avoid the optional one for now.[/quote] Thank you, Neil, for your reply! I updated all 33 updates and the optional KB2955164 update, and received a black screen after entering my PIN. I tried many different f

How do we change font color? in SkinStudio Help WinCustomize Forums

Hi! There are so many wonderful windowblind skins, but some have just an issue or two. The Easter skin, for example, is very useable except for when I mouse over a button, the box that comes up has a white background and yellow font color, making it very unreadable. I would like to either change the white background to blue or the yellow font to blue. I've been in the latest version of SkinStudio, but not sure where these exact settings are located. Any

Reply to Lets face it Win 8 Sux in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

Hi all, thought I'd join the discussion. I love Windows 8. I've installed it on my desktop, my laptop, my dad's laptop, my mom's laptop, my sister's computers, and most of my clients. Everyone has been liking it better than Windows 7. Instead of everyone having to press the start button, programs, all programs, the desired software folder, and then the software we want to use, we simply single click the desired tile on the Start screen.&nbsp
