Because the windows icons are 256x256 not 8x8, 8x8 is even smaller than the system tray icons. :LOL:

Reply to Hey I just got Vista I'm paying the "Ultimate" Price for it! in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

[quote]Actually based on my experience between the 2 OS (XP and Vista), Vista run slower, about 30 percent slower on the same machine. Having said that, I still prefer Vista a little bit albeit it takes more time to boot my PC and more time also for applications to load.[/quote] You do know the real difference in games and such is 1-2%, and when your getting lets say an average of 120FPS+ in Day of Defeat Source (like me... :D) it really doesn't make ANY difference at all.

Reply to MyColors x64/Alienware Vista theme... now what? in Stardock Support General WinCustomize Forums

[quote]It says the full object desktop is required. Is this in addition to purchasing MyColors? I've extracted the files without either installed and haven't found any "invader.mycolors" but perhaps this is because I am missing the programs?[/quote] You can use that method to get the .Mycolors theme, once you get it place the .MyColors theme in the C:\Users\Public\Documents\Stardock\ThemeManager folder.

Well right now DX10 Titles that are released/to be released can be found here: [link="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_games_with_DirectX_10_support"]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_games_with_DirectX_10_support[/link] If you are into quite a few of those games then I'd say go for it. :D

Reply to WINDOWS/system32 error in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

No it runs DX9 perfectly fine, DX10 is slowly catching on as usual with a major DX release. There is a fairly decent list of new games coming out with DX10 goodies already, im sure the list will just get larger. ;)

Extra VGA ram usually means games at a higher resolution will run smoother, it also helps out with higher resolution textures that games may use. Since there is a lot more memory available the game can load more things into VGA memory rather than system memory to speed things up.

[quote]Hey Neil; what is the latest version; I have 6.11 build 58 x86, 6.10a[b].144 in Impulse, dated 7/10/2008. Thing is the only update I had done was to MyColors 2.5, there was not and I have not seen a WB update.[/quote] Uncheck Show Pre-Release Versions im guessing.. should be 6.10.084 - Think Green is now working with that version for me.

Reply to Some themes do not come with enough icons in MyColors WinCustomize Forums

I agree, the Rockstar icons for instance are awesome but theres only 52 of them in the IP. I was hoping for a set with as many as Pirate, Cosmos..etc There are many filetype icons that aren't skinned and it really does bug me. [quote]Speaking from a non skinners viewpoint, if we get into saying that there has to be a certain number of icons or it just doesn't meet the "standard" we just may be doing more harm then good.[/quote] For a payware sets though? I would hope they'd include

Found a problem in x64 with the Save As dialog window, the icons seem to remain default Aero for the most part: [img]http://img170.imageshack.us/img170/5429/55802611hw9.jpg[/img] Using the latest build in Impulse.

I just did this on 64bit and it works to an extent. Mycolors themes dont seem to work right still, classic style with no borders on what seems to be anything running in 32bit mode. Even the wbconfig has no borders, but things like the Computer Properties do.

[quote]A few points, Xbox 360, PS3.. games that can not normally be pirated are too expensive by a long way, probably twice as expensive as they should be[/quote] They do get pirated, custom firmware anyone? And the reason they are expensive is probably because of the disc the media is on.

Reply to Uninstalling IP leaves blank icons in Icons WinCustomize Forums

I find that uninstalling IP through Impulse causes this problem, try reinstalling it then uninstalling IP through Stardock Central. That seems to work for me.
