The legitimate Activation process protects you from the potential of costly litigation and criminal charges associated with property theft. Be that as it may Jafo, the "potential" litigation and criminal charges meant ratz-ass when I was experiencing the very "real" agonies of legitimate activation from Microsoft. <img src="http://images.stardo
Ive talked to many people about this issue and read heaps of stuff at in lots of forums. The fact is that if a company wishes to include an activation process in their software, it is their right to do so. It does seem that ultimately from the company advocating activation, there is the realization that it doesnt significantly really cut back on piracy, rather it serves as a deterent to piracy due to the hassle of as (Citizen)RaHarakhte puts it....beating the cycle over and over aga
On a lighter note... there are some great and talented artists out there who create wonderful and original Vista style themes...such as JJ Ying, whom I admire very much. Thankyou to all those great artists who provide wonderful and original Vista style themes for us to use...you are the guys who make this site what it should be...dedicated to riginal and wonderful ideas that are executed with imagination an
the double standard by allowing this skin to exist is laughable. obviously there is a reason microsoft requested Kol's work to come down...one would think that the same set of circumstances exist here. just because microsoft hasn't said anything about this item, doesn't make it right. allowing it to exist is setting a piss-poor example for everyone else. here we g
Me again. Being more specific. What I really really need is a clear consise description of the 'Control selection Panel' in SS5. I want to know what each button does in laymens terms coz I have a hard time following the help panel explanations and find them either a little too jargonised or just expressing the obvious. I know its a tough call, coz the program has alot involved. On purchasing SS5 and opening up the official 'Stardock Deveopers Guide PD
More tutorials definately...perhaps divided into sections eg. WB, DesktopX. Stardock offer great programs but the availale tutorials are difficult to find. Myself, well, I used to love DesktopX, but after being unable to get anything but basic tutorial stuff on its capabilities and tired of hours of relentless searching for such information, have given up on that program entirely...such a shame! I see that there are some new tutorials in the tuto
Nice to see an updated skin and the icons do look quite nice. But I feel that this has a dated look and has been upgraded to look more like a WB 4.6 skin. I cant see any transparency in the taskbar and not much in the start menu. I'd pay the money gladly for a skin that reflects more of what WB 5 is capable of doing eg something like the caliber of JJ Ying's work. Offering the suite and not being off the mark to have it readily available and only being
Fast Track, Kazza, Morpheus and Skype: Niklas Zennstrom and Janus Friis...all tied together in 'organized crime' and 'racketeering'... check out this...it's very interesting... http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20060327/0256249.shtml
you had better show far more expertise with graphics [site] and content [NOT 'stolen' icons]. Site link has been removed to limit dissemination of such unauthorised content.... Advice given from personal experience is the best advice to give! <img src="http://images3.stardock.com/wc/smiles/Wink.gif
Hmmmmm....as the question of this current topic was asking people what they thought about the speed of the site (presumably because the new servers are supposed to be in and woking), I should imagine that people have a right to voice their opinions either way without getting personally insulted or flamed by admin if those requested opinions dont add up to what admin is expecting or wanting themselves or others to hear. If there are voiced co
Thanx for the link Hankers. Solved the problem here ... was stll a VB scripting issue with my system...fixed now, but handy to know that proggy exists.
OK. I got a problem. About a month ago, my VB scripting on my system got all screwed up and I had to reinstall the scripts. Suddenly WB5 (paid for and working correctly), wasnt able to display the toolbar icons anymore...everthing else works fine. So I decided to uninstall WB5 and reinstall. After uninstall and reinstall, however,the problem isnt fixed. Also, I notice that my preferences from the old installation are transferred to the new install
Great Job!! So glad I am subscibed to OD...cant wait
LOL. As has been pointed out here clearly MANY times.....YOU GET WHAT U PAID FOR!! As a non subcriber to Wincustomise, waiting for 2 to 3 minutes for a page to load, only to get the 'server busy' message doesnt really worry me (there are other pages to browse in the meantime)...Ive come to naturally expect nothing less. Empty promises will probably only really piss the subscribers off, as they forked out the cash for getting the same experience as non-
Why not have the competition split into two divisions? Firstly, like as usual, Stardock members judge entries submitted by non-Stardock people. Secondly, the public or a group of non-Stardock personel judge skins submitted by Stardock entrants. That way everyone gets a chance to participate and also judge as well, yet unable to judge in a category where they themselves have submissions. Then also, any claims of results being fixed within the Stard
Just a note for those trying to use Axialis icon workshop to open 'Vista" style icons...you need to update your Axialis Icon workshop to V6 from v5 as V5 doesnt support Vista icon format (you will get a message like "this file does not contain icon image" etc)...Axialis Icon workshop v6 has full support for Vista style icons. cheerz.
I cant seem to apply ANY toolbar icons to the toolbars, either for explorer or IE, in WB5 on my main desktop (it works fine on my notebook). They were working correctly until I did both a 'repair' install of XP Pro and a 'restore to previous date'...then this option just ceased to function correctly..... Have tried, since then, to uninstall and reinstall WB5 a couple times and also tried changing the icon size in the customization area

This is all extremely interesting and makes me chuckle a little. Perhaps we can consider this HYPOTHESIS: I own a company that has a product which, by its design, is able to skin the GUI of a popular operating system. I work very hard at improving this product and it is imensly popular. The major O/S of which my program has the ability to skin is, in the near future, going to release a new version of their GUI that has

Thankyou Jafo for your polite response to my concerns.Best wishes.

thankyou Jafo for your response..., however I feel that you rather somewhat missed my point. Blatent comments such as describing these people who illicelty try to steal the software as "CREATURES" and suggesting violence on them as deserving of a good "arse-kicking",isn't exactly the way I was taught to respond to people who you wish to enlighten. My main concern was that, as a paying customer, how does this benifit the people who have act

This saddens me as a paying customer for Windowblinds. The fact is that Stardock is in no way responsible for 'breaking' someones system. WindosBlinds is a GUI skinning app and with version 5 intergrated so much into the system graphics card, anyone downloading a 'crack (understandably with the knowledge that it will interfere with the way the program is meant to run), should accept the responsibility themselves for the consequences of their actions.<b
These people are the casualties of war! The US and allied govenments in the East have been warned and acknowledge that this is likely to happen. We cant be so arrogant or niave as to assume that those we war againts won't bring it, as they have warned, to our own home soil. It is the price of war..which is a hard truth to accept. My heart goes out to any innocent person tragically affected, regardless of age,race, nationality or
