I have a late 2013 Macbook Pro Retina that still hums along just as well as it did from day 1. Also at work I have a Late 2017 one. That one will not charge and shows the battery in good condition. Not going to spend the $$ to have it repaired either. Additionally, I came across a iMac (4K, 21.5 inch, Late 2015). It had a 1Tb 5400 rpm hard drive in it. With that drive they are TOTALLY unusable!! I put a 512 Gb SSD in it and it's a champ now!! Putting that drive in was

I'm still a bit stumped why support is telling people to post in the forums when OD clearly is supported on Win10. Also, that little bitty tiny disclaimer of system requirements at the bottom needs to be at the top of the page, bold and highlighted so that people are well informed at the start of the examination process.

I don't think the question or attitude was out of line at all until he was attacked for even asking it. If someone doesn't think that the master skins are up to his/her standards of willingness to pay, that is their right as well! No reason to get butt-hurt because someone doesn't like your work. Bloated ego has caused many members to just go to the shadows and driven potential new ones away. Disgusting.

[quote who="don5318" reply="84" id="3741737"] So, what are you implying Phoon, that us Master skinners should make free skins, and not make a few dollars, and by some miracle, if we were to make free skins (not paid), that the popularity of Windowblinds will jump back up again?

Yes Neone6, either one of us could be wrong. Neil is the coding genius behind it and if he finds it unethical or could at some point be classified as hacking there would be serious repercussions. It doesn't take a genius to see the decline of popularity. Just look at the WB skins library. Well over 50% of the newer skins are pay-to-play by a select few people. Years ago you had new skins coming in on a daily basis with a few non freebies here and there. I

In a nutshell... From what I understand, Microsoft has limited the access/ability to perform as much customization as they allowed in the past. They seem to make radical changes every update which further restricts things. This makes it nearly impossible for the programmers at Stardock to work around and provide as much functionality and reliability as has been present in the past. At some point the expenses of that outweigh the revenue gained from the product and it j

I like the way my explorer functions just fine. If Windowblinds can't keep up with MS Changes (regardless of fault) and hardware advancements then, it makes no sense to keep it up. DesktopX became more of a burden to keep working than it was worth too.

Anymore the only Stardock items I use are Groupy and Start 10. For Docking I use Winstep. I always felt that it was superior to Object Dock. Icon Packager has been an absolute nightmare to me in the past and caused far too much damage when uninstalling it. I gave up. Windowblinds, honestly has not been enjoyable at all since Win7 left. I've used it many times and always revert back to the default Windows theme due to some parts just seeming out of place
