WB7/WinXP & Office 2007 in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

I have XP, Office 2007 and WB7 and for some reason I cannot right click and roll windows up/down. It's the primary feature I use Windowblinds for and it works fine on my Win7/WB7/Office 2007 setup. Is it a known issue with XP/Office 2007/WB7? It's the same with any of the default skins - and using the XP version. Thanks for any insight.

WP under Corel has never skinned in WB. It sucks. Something about how they program the API. All Corel applications are funky under WB - almost like they're non-windows compliant.

Although I do love to see how creative people can be with windowblinds, myself, I tend to steer towards the cleaner, thinner designs just because of ease of use. I know there are folks out there that love the wild stuff and I applaud the creative designers who come up with the themes, but there is also an audience looking for something different, but still similar and functional. I used windowblinds for so long when I see the "normal" XP int

nobody mentioned that XP Pro was supposed to be for businesses. Home was meant for users and as long as I've priced it, was always $200 or less. I don't know why MS doesn't offer Office for home users - something inside the pricing stratosphere.

If you go to the site, you see their reasoning behind the name: Wii sounds like "we" which emphasises the console is for everyone Wii can easily be remembered by people around the world, no matter what language they speak. No confusion. No need to abbreviate. Just Wii. Wii has a distinctive spelling that symbolizes both the unique controllers and the image of people gathering to play. Wii, as a name and console, brings somethi

Reply to Sidebar in next public Windows Vista build in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

I'd prefer not to dedicate so much space to anything, regardless of it's efficiency (Just don't think anything provides that much necessity vs a mouse move & click). However, with that said, if widescreens become the norm, then we're all going to have blank space on each side of our wallpapers, a few customized walls or some ugly stretched walls. I think that a sidebar might fill that void there - so we have a full screen of use (at least until folks s

Reply to Laptop - good or bad in Community WinCustomize Forums

Right now you're looking at $133 or so for that laptop. A 6gb hard drive is not much at all - my windows directory (although old and bloated) is coming in at 2.87gb, so that's half of a 6gb drive. When you add recycle bin, backup, programs and the space you will lose in the format (you'll get like 5.4 or 5.6 gb instead of 6gb) it won't leave much room for anything else. I don't believe that you'll be able to upgrade either since t

Reply to An iTunes/iPod question. . . in iPod WinCustomize Forums

Burn the tracks to cd. These days you can find cds on sale and it comes out to like a quarter per cd or something crazy like that. As was stated above (and in iTunes) these songs are your purchases, do not rely soley on media for backup. Put them on a cd. Then you can rip them to whatever you like. I have not noticed any degradation in quality at all (but I'm not a pro). Apple uses that format because they believe it's a smaller footprint wi

Reply to LiteStep - Your opinions? in Beginners WinCustomize Forums

I gave it a whack a couple years back. I think it all depends on your enthusiasm for customization. I like the stardock apps because I can modify from a little to a lot without having to start learning commands or editing config files. One of the things I don't like about Desktop X is the fact that it redoes the desktop. It's the biggest plus and biggest minus. If you like it, great, if not - too bad. LS is similar (as Jafo said),

My 2 cents is it depends on you're working as a graphics professional or as a hobby. As it's been said you're talking about $99 or less for Paint Shop Pro and $150 - $600 for Photoshop (I think Elements is about $100-150). If your graphics need to be loaded by somebody else and edited or printed professionally, then perhaps photoshop is what you need. I believe it has a fairly steep learning curve, but I've seen people that have l

Reply to Can Apple pull another iPod with its move to Intel? in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

I think the best thing for Windows users is to have a really competitive OS and Apple could certainly do that. Linux and the others are either too limited in functionality (or too focused - whichever perspective you prefer) or they're too technically challenging to the average user. Mac OS has been around - people are familiar with it and it has a great history of being easy to use. Having the option of putting it on a PC which runs Windows mi

I have a creative jukebox 3 and the Muvo N200. Both times I opted to go for the most bang for the buck. The ipods are as slick as it gets. They look great, they perform great. There's nothing much to not like, really, except the price. If you have money to burn, go get an ipod. I don't think I've heard anybody regret getting one. However, if you don't have money to burn, then creative offers a real competitive line of products to suit

Just thought it would be interesting to have a pollen count widget. Pollen.com shows 4 days of pollen count (so you know when you're going to be hosed). Goes of zip code so I'm guessing it might be similar to the weather widgets. Anybody up for making one? I'm lucky I can use widgets, let alone make them.

I have no problems with NAV, but I'm using corp version 8.1. It does not work at all with Office 2003 or Office 2002. Doesn't work with Wordperfect 10 or 12. Doesn't work with Paint Shop Pro 9. Doesn't work with Guitar Tracks Pro 4. Love it when it works. Hope to see some work on this app in the near future. I believe it's one of those apps that if you like it, you'll use it all the time.
