The desktop is a place of creativity, productivity but most importantly, it’s typically a canvas for your personality. Picking backgrounds, changing colors/cursors/frames, and with enough time and effort, the desktop can become a mirror of you instead of a simple, default, digital space. While building out Connection Explorer the past few months, I
[quote who="jaddorf" reply="38" id="3981786"] You need to replace the link in your earlier post - changing the file expired the link.. /j [/quote] Seems that it did, file link been updated.
We have rolled back the change that we believe was causing this issue, download speeds will be reduced again until we identify the exact cause why some were getting faster downloads and others it was failing halfway through the process.

Are you all still seeing the stuck download, there was a DNS issues earlier (it's always DNS) but we believe that is now mostly resolved. As for speed, we are working on making improvements - it's always a more complex process than it sounds but today was the first change towards a faster future.

Two years ago, we released Start11 v2 with a heavy focus on deployment functionality and scalability of the Start menu experience. Our goal was simple, to allow our clients to manage their Start experience across all of their Windows endpoints, with a single file. This past week, we surpassed 500 businesses that are now actively managing their Sta

The cursor is one of the most looked at objects on the desktop. I usually think it’s icons or the Start menu but your cursor is the digital representation of where your eyes are going. Which means that when you change your cursor from the default white arrow, you better like the new option as that’s what you are going to be looking at nearly all day while using your device. And for me, that’s a tough thing to change. <img style="display: block; margin-left: a

Multiplicity has long been an essential tool for professionals, creators, and power users who want to control multiple PCs with a single keyboard and mouse. Late last year, we released version 4 and we are happy to share that the new version of the software KVM is now available on Steam . <a href="https://store.steampower
This week, we are releasing an update for Multiplicity 4 that adds a couple of enhancements that will result in improved performance and stability. The update is rolling out now for all versions of the application and can also be downloaded directly from your Stardock account page. A new enhancement in this release is hotkeys assigned to machines set to use KVM connections will now switch to an open instance rather than ope
When it comes to the desktop, the most important button on it is the Start button. And there is no argument about this, we know this because Microsoft once removed it and then brought it back but it also birthed one of the most successful apps in Stardock’s history, Start8. When it comes to changing the most used button on the desktop, I am considering hitting the Windows key to open it as usage, making it a more personalized experience is a significant decision. Afterall, it&rs
Are you able to reproduce this issue consistently? We are trying to hunt this bug down and any data associated with what steps are occurring prior to seeing the bug would be helpful.
[quote who="Derell Licht" reply="8" id="3977490"] Well, I now have been informed about what is going on here... Apparently WinCustomize has changed its rules, and even if you have purchased Stardock products, you have to buy an annual subscription to WinCustomize, in order to have unlimited download priviledges; otherwise, you only get 30 free downloads (over what period?? one year?) ... Fortunately, I am rarely going to have much to download in the future, si

When it comes to customizing Windows, there are those who install skins and then there are those who create them. Making a skin for WindowBlinds , a wallpaper for your desktop, or new Start button design takes not only time but serious talent. This past week we became aware that one of the most talented contributors to the WinCustomize community, Adni18 (Nikos) has passe

We have a new build for you to try - download it here. This is an out-of-band release build, while we did quickly test it for bugs/breaks, this is hot out of the oven so we would not recommend installing it on any mission critical endpoints but we think it's going to solve this bug.
