So this means I can have my OS moan, when I press her buttons?

Hahaha.. If you are lucky.  
I'll have a look at it right away..

LOL I hope not,I was going to make a comedy sound pack with farting noises in it.    

A joke so bad it stinks! 

Looks like Stardock has release it's second theme: Baseball !

Thanks

Go ahead....make my day....gotta be better than sport themes.

Orright, I getcha....farting is a sport...a universally reognised sport that's embraced by fans worldwide.

    Prrpphh!   

I've written to the I.O.C. to see if they will include it in the London 2012 games.    

Thanks for all of your feedback and patience with this BETA.

Delete button is on it's way.  We had that on the list, but decided to release the BETA now rather than wait.

We will uploaded a BASEBALL soundpack to the Wincustomize gallery this week.  Car racing to follow via an SDC update to the application.

 

As far as the themes go, I would be open to suggestions, but please remember that any suggestions about things that involve a copyright or intellectual property are more difficult to produce quickly due to the legal ramifications.

If we were to provide SoundPackages that involved IP we could include some with the base package to add value, but in order help with variety we would want to do more.  In order to allow people to only get what they want we would look to make these items available for purchase as well.

Would users pay for sound packages?  If so, how much?

any chance we'll see advanced customization of sounds?

For example a sound when Explorer.exe closes that is different than the sound when Interent Explorer closes?

The nice thing about licensed IP is that the quality of the product is usually checked by the IP holder to make sure it's up their standards.  I'd bet they provide the content in this case.

Part of the math in price is, "Is it cheaper to buy than make my own?"  Cheaper can encompass quality or time or effort.

I doubt that I would buy a stand-alone sound scheme.  But I would be much more likely to buy a MyColor suite with a soundpack included. (Having said that . . I'd probably spring for Star Wars.  Yeah, I know.  I'm a product of my youth)

I think more generic soundpackages will be better than licensed package in the initial release.  Create a "Sci-Fi" package that might go with some more "tech-y" WB skins. 
A music series might be interesting.  Think disco, metal, classical, techno.  Those might fit with any skin or theme.
I think a first-person-shooter soundpackage might be popular. Imagine the Wilhem scream as Windows throws an error.

As an aside, I'd like to see somewhere in the app a tutorial/essay on what makes a good soundpackage.

As another aside, going forward is this the standard model for SD apps or is Logon Studio?  They are very similar but button placement is different as are some of the options.

Zargon0225, Zubaz hit on a option that I think most people would like. Along with My Colors suites, Master and Premium suites with the Sound Package would be nice.

A whole set of generic packages as Zubas suggested would also be nice in just setting up and completing your own desktop.

Based on the feedback I've read I'm going to wait to download, but I will use the package for sure.   

this likes or should I say Sounds cool

new update available 0.90[b].011

but I am still unable to download it.. get the same Error but yet the program is installed
but it did not install the Football package

I was able to install the baseball package

I'm glad that Stardock is working towards a unified UI across apps.

this is just down right awesome...........looking forward to more sounds....

Well, it looks like Sir Zubaz beat me to my suggestion. I think that sound packages in various music styles would be a real winner - classic jazz, smooth jazz, chill, techno, clssical, classic rock, alternative rock, etc. Of course, copyright issues would likely be encountered if using songs from artists.... I'd be willing to pay, say, in the $4.95 - $12.95 range for a well done and complete theme.

In any case, kudos for another great Stardock program!

Installed, good works!

ya i finally got it to install it all

update fixed the line 5 problem it seems!!!

Well done stardock- appreciate the swift response!

Football, Baseball, car-racing.......

Do I get a price if I correctly guess, that only guys are working on Sound-Packager?

SDC has now given us basketball. Better than football and baseball . The car racing sounds interesting. I agree SD has to stay with sounds that are neutral because of copy right infringement issue.
