Reply to OS Tying in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

But hey, it's happening again. The program Watson (that was mentioned above with Sherlock) has been bought out by Sun Microsystems to be used in there Java Desktop operating system. This means Watson will no longer exist (sorry current registered users you only get support til October 5, 2004, then who knows what). It's a shame to see good products gobbled up by big business, in the end the consumers usually are the ones to suffer. Great article, Brad, this is making

Reply to Apple: Glass houses alert! in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Absolutely correct on everything, Brad. Apple better watch what they say next time. On another note though, I'm not sure if it is related the Tiger's announcement of not, but Konfabulator in its latest release (not sure how new it is but version 1.7) has what is called Konspose (like Expose) where you can hit F8 and make the widgets come to the front and hit it again to make them go back to where they were. I think this works better than Apple already since you can have the wi

Windows Tries it hands at a new style? in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Reports are buzzing around that the Windows Beta team for the Media Center Division have been working on a new visual style. Click on the link below for more info from Neowin.net (my favorite computer news site), which has some screenshots of the new style. The new theme is basically that of Windows Media Player 10 BETA (that's why I think its true), and the official release may sneak its way into SP2. I've tried it out and must say its not that exciting. It shows Windows i

WOW... I would love to know what in the standard Windows themes that pulling down the system.. It seems Windows Blinds has yet another leg on all the so called competition.

Poor Frogboy, I have to say I had no idea this was happening, but I went to the comments on the GUIO page I was astonished but the abusinve comments, man there are some childish people out there. This is a contest, and everyone has there own opinion. I agree I have some favorites that I would have like to win, but I have to admit that those who did win deserved it WITHOUT ANY DOUBT. Those from the winamp community have taken this personally and they shouldn't. Everyone who participat

Reply to Object Desktop and Windows Blinds Featured in PC Magazine's Utility Guide in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Frogboy, All my magazines seem to come about a month early then what they print on the cover. I guess they just want to give enough time so people will pick it sometime in the next month and know this is the most recent. Also I got this the day it was issued because I subscribe digitally using Zinio reader (It's really nice if you go for digital reads)

TasT You can view the updates in WinCustomize Browser. If you are on the Skins and Themes tab use the Libraries pull down and at the bottom you will find all the things you find in the right side of the wincustomize.com page.

The browser includes an internet browser also (click on Web browser) it will take you to wincustomize.com (or you can type in another address). I'm glad to see so

Reply to BootSkin Alpha 2 available in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Worked fine on my machine. This is a great idea. I really never thought about skinning the boot screen, but it was the obvious next step. Soon my whole system will be one big STARDOCK. Thank you all at Satrdock for such great ideas (too bad others seem to want to copy them)

Reply to DesktopX 2 comes out tomorrow! in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

I LOVE destopX, but my comment is about the screenshot on this news clip. I have seen recently a few people with themes of what looks like the iTunes for windows theme. Is this true and is so can you direct me to it (or is it even out yet). But anyway. Eveyone should buy an Object Desktop subscription. The things you can do with Stardock is just awesome and DesktopX is one of the powerhouses. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/events.gif" border=0 ALIGN=

Maybe you should record some of the animations in a video file so that others can see it, I just downloaded it to see what it would be like and it IS AWESOME!!, but I would have been more confident if I had known before, the screenshot doesn't do justice at all!!!!! Keep up the good work skinners.

Reply to Apple and its patents in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

I could not agree more with this article, big businesses are pushing the smaller people around and taking over the WORLD. This news is very similar to the Windows vs. Lindows lawsuit right now. Why does any corporation feel they should have the right to own an idea that is so widely used but so many different people on so many different machines that it has indeed because its own word. Windows may own it own name, but not the right to restrict the word window from any computer organizations'
