*looks for something to hit computer with* i have just re-tried this, since i was posting about it, and today the start menu flashes. i.e. it appears for about half a second and then disapears. it never used to do that, but i would suggest that this is not really usable. i wonder if playing around with 1.99g had an effect on this

i did the following: add a "various-function item" -> current function -> more system commands -> popup real start menu has anyone ever used this rather interesting feature? more specifically, have you ever made it work? it does nothing for me. is it fixed in the interesting but currently unusable 1.99g version?
having discovered 1.99g (and i had started to think that OB was dead) i have updated. on the plus side it looks like all of the rampent problems with the task bar getting "corrupt" have been fixed. i will post screen shots next time i catch it in the act if anyone cares. however i have just uninstalled 1.99g because i simply cannot get Windows Key + Tab to work! <img src="http://images3.stardock.com/wc/smiles/Crying.gif" border=0 ALIGN="ab
fuzzy, i was going to suggest that since i am wearing the nurses uniform you should try to make starone and GM something suitable to wear out of chocolate but it seems that you are distracted *innocent expression number 28* well i figure that GM is cold cos she does not have anything suitable to wear, so i will see what i can do about getting her "properly dressed" *innocent helpful expression* and once GM is all wrappe
*gets called by some strange force* *falls over and goes back to sleep* i have made a discovery, working two jobs is tiring i have also discovered that avoiding things that depress me makes me less depressed - i have been experimenting with being less depressed, and i have decided that i like this as for the furry test, it seems to me
thank you for that i have decided to try and adjust my expectations, so i have renewed my OB subscription so i can try out OB 2 beta. now i have a slight problem, after 10 minutes i uninstalled OB 2 since i wanted a taskbar that i could use. when the big empty space i cannot use grew to take up 40% of the bar i called it a day *sigh*. a theme e
instead of trying to address points one by one i will try to address these points in "broad terms". firstly i honestly am *not* trying to insult stardock, but at the same time i have become *very* frustrated. one intention here is to try and ask if i am frustrated because *unrealistic* goals have not been met? perhaps i need to go and sit in a corner and say nothing when i feel deeply frustrated, and if so then i would like to apologise fo
*pout* the uniform was placed in a box with a big warning stuck on the front saying "to cute to use in public! don't do it!" i am already to cute for public, but that does not stop me *rolls over and looks cute* anyway, the uniform gives me room for my tail to stick out! now about this chocolate coating... where are they? i need to do a quality assurance test to see that it is done correctly
Frogboy, to a large degree my logical side agrees with you, your points are fair and valid. this is why i am trying to find a sensible balance point between caring about these products, and making fair requests, and having fair expectations. some of my facts are probably out of date, and i am hoping that the situation has improved in recent months. in fact i would like to hear that things are improving, and i would like to think that clear
point b is an interesting linguistic point. how should i, or any customer, view the news splashed all over the front page of wincustomize of the imminent release of OB2? am i being unfair in viewing this as something i should place faith in? or should i take the view that all statements about "we are going to release X" should be taken as marketing hype, and thus ignored? i have always viewed them as statements that i should trust, but pe
*reads the email from stardock trying to get me to buy desktop X pro for my programming needs...* i am going to go and have a lie down in a dark room for a few days, and think calm thoughts.
No time for chocolate feeding, it's Tuesday pub night - be back around midnight *feline knows how to make sure that fuzzy stays around and feeds me chocolate...* *innocent expression number 28* as for the spanks, that was forth right of you, spanking yourself like that! *surprised*
first the WB skins disappearing - if you are lucky this has now been fixed. from memory (i have the relevant email somewhere) when upgrading from a release to beta build of WB the installer would *delete* all WB skins that the release build had installed. i have the install logs to prove this was happening, i recall emailing them to Stardock in one of my "hitting the roof" emails *rolls eyes* backing up you WB skins is a good mea
*wanders in for a look around* it is possible that what i have just done is naughty, but in the unlikely event that this is true it is OK, since i will claim that fuzzy and GM made me do it! so, since they are equally responsible, and are also more senior people will have to spank them first, and by the time that has been done they will be so tired that all they can do is feed me chocolate! i resisted the temptati
Before I begin I want to point out that this is not designed as a pointless rant. I have considered this, and decided that it is beneath me, even though it is tempting. Now first things first, my relevant experience, which is important since I feel it entitles me to make the rest of this post. My day job is as a professional computer programmer, and this has been the case for quite a few years now. As a result I feel I know something abou
*tries to resist* *gives in* does this mean we might actually see some bug fixes for object bar? it would be nice to actually have the outstanding problems fixed, along side the new features.
chocolate coated nibbles? surely you are not suggesting we chocolate coat GM before nibbling on her, are you? *innocent expression number 81*
did someone just ask to be spanked? *looks up with an interested expression* *giggles*
why are people talking about "outside this thread"??? *feline suspects people are strange* next thing you know, they will start babbling about that big room with the funny moving blue ceiling again. humans, they are clearly placed on the planet to give cats tummy rubs and to feed me chocolate! *BIG GRIN* *rolls over and looks cute*
it seems that if you define yourself, your actions, and your impact in terms of what others think and feel you should be then you are doing a disservice to the true nature of things. for surely the only true way to respect the universe in all of its grand and glorious nature is to be yourself, allow others the right to be themselves, and never force your way of being on them. you always live with your past, but you are not bound by it, you ar
*feline considers what profound observation to add to all of this*
Fuzzy Logic likes the new chocolate coated cat toy *MUNCH* *MUNCH* *MUNCH* *MUNCH* *MUNCH* *MUNCH* *MUNCH* *MUNCH* *MUNCH* *MUNCH* *MUNCH* *MUNCH* *MUNCH* *MUNCH* *MUNCH* feline looks around feline considers looking embarrassed, but dismisses this as a silly
*suspects i know what hypnotised fuzzy*! i suspect she was overcome by thoughts of all that chocolate! *considers* speaking of chocolate, where is this vat exactly?
goodmorphing - See? the spy cam caught feline shaking fuzzy down for chocolate again.. proof the camera lies!!! i was trying to protect my chocolate from fuzzy! see, i am the one staging a slow and careful retreat in the face of him trying to tickle my chocolate out of me!!! plus, it seems
goodmorphing - ...but making a private bet with myself who gets the ticklefeathers and chocolate handcuffs IS rather interesting... so, does this mean we get to try out BOTH the chocolate handcuffs and the tickle feathers on GM? *big grin*
