Reply to ObjectDock 2: Windows 7 Taskbar Preview? in ObjectDock Stardock Forums

Thanks. Any way to speed it up? The Windows 7 Taskbar has a default delay of 400ms, which you can speed up via a registry tweak. That tweak doesn't seem to affect ObjectDock, though.

Reply to Use Tiles for a Minimal Desktop Setup in Personal Computing Stardock Forums

Okay, I'm stupid. I just figured out ObjectDock2 has this functionality. When I tested it before, I was using Firefox...which doesn't currently support this even on the Windows 7 Taskbar. (Neither does Chrome, btw). Time to try Life Without the Taskbar. Btw, is there any way to speed up the preview? It has a slight pause even on the Taskbar...I'd love for it to be instantaneous.

Give me Windows 7-style previews (popup tiles) on ObjectDock, and I could get rid of the Windows 7 Taskbar.

Reply to Use Tiles for a Minimal Desktop Setup in Personal Computing Stardock Forums

Just curious...how is Tiles different than ObjectDock in terms of functionality? I'm also struggling to see the difference in function between Tiles and the Windows 7 Taskbar. The only thing I can't use the Windows 7 Taskbar for right now is I can't put a folder on them. The only thing I can't do with ObjectDock is get the Windows 7 preview tiles (the icon-sized preview just doesn't quite do it for me). I'd love to see the WindowsFX version of

I've done that, but no previews. Reboot required, perhaps? I'll try it later. Thanks for the help!

I've tried both. On the zoomer dock, what option do you select to enable previews?

Reply to ObjectDock 2: Windows 7 Taskbar Preview? in ObjectDock Stardock Forums

What settings are you using? I can get the preview window to show up as an icon, so to speak, but not a spread of preview windows like the Win7 taskbar.

ObjectDock 2: Windows 7 Taskbar Preview? in ObjectDock Stardock Forums

Is there any way to get the Windows 7 Taskbar Preview feature in ObjectDock 2? That is, hover over an icon, and have a preview window appear for each window associated with the application. It is only this feature that has me using the Windows Taskbar at all. When I was still on WinXP I had it disabled entirely, but now that I'm on Win7 I have both it and ObjectDock up. The latter, unfortunately, has just become a program launcher for me. Thoughts?

I wish they would remake Baldur's Gate with modern graphics. Say, something as good as NWN1 or so.

Exporting full ship models from GalCiv2 in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

Is it possible to build a ship in GalCiv2, and then export it--textures and all--into a common format useable in other applications? In particular, I'd love to have better models in Star Ruler.

Bigger is better. Bigger armies would be better too. Think "Total War" for the game scales I prefer. :) I'd give up Havoc physics for a 64-bit executable.

That phenomenon is why I'm hoping I can run Skyrim decently. It's going to run on the same consoles as Oblivion.

[quote who="seanw3" comment="7"] Capitalism is powerful because the government can create economic incentives to make the populace do just about anything. And we only need to conserve power until 2060 or so. That is when the whole fusion power thing kicks in and we just don't have to care anymore. I do apreciate, Lord Xia, that you are progressively not caring about power usage. Such a futurist this guy. In kind: We only need to recycle metal until the first astero

Reply to Lua vs. Python in Elemental Dev Journals Stardock Forums

One final thought: if there's a way for the community to support the Lua integration, that might be a good compromise. I can understand Stardock not wanting to support a massive, diverse platform. If you can crowd-source portions of it, though, it might allow the flexibility without the support costs. Just an idea, and an admittedly uninformed one at that.

Reply to Lua vs. Python in Elemental Dev Journals Stardock Forums

The advantage of supporting C++ is that it would probably open up modding to a larger community. Python is by all accounts relatively easy to learn, but there is probably a set of people who would like to do some deep modding, but just don't feel like learning yet another language. C++ also has a very robust set of public libraries out there, so I think we'd see a large variety of mods, and a good possibility of new games created on the platform.

Reply to The Technologist-Bean Counter in PC Gaming Stardock Forums

One of the hardest things to find in technology seems to be technology leaders (not managers, leaders) who really have a solid understanding of software development fundamentals. They needn't be the best at any given thing--data modeling, writing Java classes, whatever--but to really be effective, they need to have a broad understanding of a lot of disciplines (math helps), and be able to make the leap to understanding "the business" (whether it's a game or the next app to handle corpor

After a nudge from Stardock Tech Support, I setup symbolic links and this works fine. Basically, the Windowblinds folders are stored on O:\ \ . I make the source, and point it to C:\Users\Default\Default Documents\Stardock\Windowblinds. Works like a charm. There's a nice tool online to allow you to create symbolic links, etc. from a right-click menu--including bulk operations--which is quite helpful.</p
