Animated dream request in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

First off, let me say how much I appreciate he work of all the dream creators. Truly amazing stuff that has long since removed the word "boring" from my desktop wallpaper! I like the nature scenes, particularly landscapes or seascapes. What I notice so far is that the landscape is often static with some things moving, such as clouds or water. What I would love to see would be one that would give a 3-d effect by moving forward through a landscape, like the view of countr

Reply to Desktop theme manager and Control panel in Stardock Support General WinCustomize Forums

[quote who="Dewie" reply="8" id="2666467"]Stardock ControlCenter is very old, and is only compatible with Windows 95/98/NT/2000.

Desktop theme manager and Control panel in Stardock Support General WinCustomize Forums

Good day. The Theme manager downloads okay, but then "dies" when it tries to extract itself from the compressed transfer, with no files being uncompresses. Control panel keeps giving an "error" when I try and download it. Environment is Windows 7 Professional, 64 bit. Any ideas appreciated. Thanks!

More info: Graphics adapter is a Radeon 7000 (QY) with 64 MB memory. System is IBM Aptiva, XP, SP 2 applied, 256 MB RAM. I figured out how to upload the full version of Windowblinds by turning off the 'show prerelease' box - but the problem remains even with the full version. It's odd because all other skinned aspects of applying a skin work perfectly - just the start button won't load to the foreground!!! And since I can't easily get to the programs w

Start Button Hangs in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

Got a weird one with Windowblinds 5 beta 6 - SDC (Stardock central isn't showing me the final version with my Object Desktop subscription, at least not yet - or do I have to purchase something else?) Anyway = as soon as I switch to any screen other than Windows Classic the start button doesn't work! Nor does the windows key on the keyboard bring it up, nor the shortcut combo of ctrl-escape! Sometimes I'll see a pale outline of it but no in
