Can I plug my Dream Manager software here?

What does it do?

Thought you would never ask I kind of recall something about not be able to post message trying to sell software. But this is on topic so I wasn't sure if it was OK?

I'm currently using the old version, and while good it does have it's limitations. With the improvements detailed above I would defintely purchas the new one as long as the price isn't too steep.

Would it be possible to sell it as a "Master Skin"?
Is that something you are concidering if it's allowed?

To tell you the truth, I didn't think for selling it as a "skin". It just didn't seem like it fit into the WinCustomize model to sell 3rd party software. Since I have been dealing with another site that specializes in dreams, I figured it would be a good idea to partner with them.

The price is going to be $24.95 and that includes two new dreams I've made. I've added an auto-update feature that will allow me to add new features as time goes on so your getting more than your initial purchase.

I should have purchasing ready in the next day or so, but in the mean time:

Visit the Dream Manager Wiki for more information or try an unregistered version of Dream Manager now to find out how easy it is to manager your dreams!

Please let me know what you think!

Checked out your wiki Baron, it's not displaying quite right (horizontal scrollbar, placement of those images, the navigation, etc).




And the links are messed up, they're showing up as this (under system requirements):

Thanks Bebi! I fixed the links, and will have to fix the wiki so it works on a non-widescreen monitor like mine

Thanks again!

Dream Manager is now available! Get it here. And thanks to everyone for there support!

Cheers!

Looks cool

The new payment system is up and running. You can now purchase Dream Manager for just $9.95!

Just added a feature that will make your desktop come through your windows (defaults to 30% transparency) after a configurable about of minutes of inactivity (defaults to 5 minutes). That way if you step away from your computer, your animated desktop will pop through windows and become visible.

That's rather cool!

Sure sounds it. To bad there's no dreams for XP yet

These three are the best for xp to the extent i know.
1) Drempels - freeware & very very light on resources. Cons- interface & green quicklaunch icon.
2.Dreamrender - Default dreams(more than 15) are free. After that u'll have to subscribe. It's really the BEST.
3. Elefun Desktops - offers really cool animated wallpapers with sounds. Mesmerizing i think. Few are free & other cost $ 8 to 10 perhaps. Very nice interface.
How to find- GOOGLE

Does it work with vista 64 bit?

Thanks!!

It sure does, hell it also works 100% on Windows 7 64bit without any need for patches.

 

I'd like to say this is a great piece of software, it's maybe not quite as feature complete as other dedicated wallpaper changers out there (the only feature I miss is more advanced scaling options for static wallpapers), but it comes damn close; and it's cheap.  TMB is also very attentive and helpful in the unlikely event that you have any issues.

I just purchased a subscription with VistaDreams.org which came with your program
DreamManager which I really like. However I'm running into a bit of a problem. I
installed the program on my Vista x64 system and it ran great. I chose the option to
put the icon in my system tray and all seemed fine. Then I had to reboot because of
something else. Anyway on reboot I no longer have the tray icon. If I pull up
taskmanager it shows dreammanager is running and my sceens are changing but I can't get
the actual window to open. If I click the link to DreamManager from my program menu I
see a window pop open for just a second then it disapears so I have no way to go in and
select/deselect sceens I want it to cycle thru. If I close the program using
Taskmanager and then run the program from the start menu I get my window and tray icon
when it restarts.

Am I doing something wrong?

 

This is the first I have heard of this problem.  Do you have UAC enabled?  Is you login an administrator account?

Actually meant to post back, the problem seems to have solved itself must have been a fluke or something as all is working fine now
