Access to programs after subscription ends in Object Desktop WinCustomize Forums

My Object Desktop subscription recently expired. On an attempt to install a program I am now informed that I no longer have access and my registration is not valid. I was thought that with the expiration of the subscription I still had access to all programs that were part of Object Desktop, but not new updates. Is that not correct. Is it that I only have access to what was already downloaded when the sub expired? Clarification would be nice, as it is a little di

[quote]Turn off blurring and transparency in Wbcfg.[/quote] It was actually just the blur. I can leave transparency at skin default and just had to set the skin to blur only if skin called for it. I forgot I had set it to blur all the time. Good call VStyler. Thanks a ton.

Thanks for the suggestions. The path was correct and in Impulse, it verifies that Windowblinds is installed correctly. Any other ideas?

Bumping this to see if anyone has any ideas.

Problem with WB window frames in Object Desktop WinCustomize Forums

Unfortunately, I don't know how long this has been going on, as it is skin dependent, but I recently noticed that there is a problem with the window frames on some skins. It seems to be windows with irregular borders, such as Rockstar (as in the screenshot), but I also see it with things like Old Republic, Optix and a few others. <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/uxfGSc6nwMw8et18IDadXg?feat=embed

I sort of saw this coming. I welcome you to the greener, if less populated, pastures of Blogspot. You know, at this rate, we can have a regular cabal of JU defectors over there.

Well, since the Stardock Gestapo closed your other article, I am forced to use this one to express my outrage at the behavior of those with "power" here. This just drives home the notion that 1) Stardock doesn't really give two shits about JoeUser, and 2) Deleting and closing threads (that don't belong to them) must be deemed superior to discourse and communication. Yet another fine example of why I will never blog here again. To be blunt, JoeUser blows goats when it comes

As long as the people are pleasant, I like these types of things. But when they get fiesty and in your face, not so much fun.

Yeah, sounds like you need a break. I understand that feeling for sure. I have been getting that way lately myself as well. Fortunately, I have a week off the end of this month. Should be good. Hope the vacation helps renew the perspective Maso. You deserve a good one mate.

There are 15 or less in every class my little ones are in. Glad he is excited. My 5 year old doesn't start until next week. She can hardly stand it.

[quote]I do want to address this real quick. JoeUser is a free site, and as with any site it costs money to develop, maintain, etc. Ads are necessity due to this.[/quote] I know IslandDog. I really do. But how can that be considered an acceptable response when there are plenty of other free options that are more feature rich and don't accost the user with a minimum of 3 obnoxious image ads and a handful of text ads? I support Stardock's decision to subsidize the cost

Adieu, JoeUser in Blogging JoeUser Forums

I appreciate it. I really do. Thanks to JoeUser, I understood blogging. I realized that it can be an enjoyable, cathartic and at times intellectually stimulating exercise. Unfortunately, as of late, it has been none of those things. I think about blogging and I feel weighed down. I stop by JoeUser and am overwhelmed by the torrent of Stardock support type articles/Wincustomize cross-post

Just pointing out that it is a tad silly to whine about people commenting on something you posted. That little "wow, you guys are still on this" comment just sounds stupid.

But, you know, if you don't want people to tell you when you have been an idiot, you either 1) shouldn't allow comments, or 2) shouldn't post something on the internet.
