I'll look into Object Desktop. Thanks, everyone.

Thanks everyone. I already have Windowblinds and Icon packager, so there's not much sense buying the whole Object Desktop suite. I'll look into Avedesk.

I took a look at Desktop X, and while it looks cool,I'm not all that interested in a lot of the Desktop X features...I just want to make a few of my desktop icons larger, that's all. Is there anyway short of buying Desktop X to do what I want?

Where would I get Avedesk? Is it reliable?

selectively changing icon sizes in IconX Stardock Forums

I was wondering if IconX can change the size of individual icons. For example, I use IconPackager, and I can make icons 64x64- the custom icons look great (because they are part of a package that includes 64 x 64 sizes), but the software icons on my desktop (Illustrator, Photoshop, etc.) look lousy at 64x64. Will IconX allow me to change, say, just the "My Computer" and recycle bin icons to a larger size without resizing everything else? Would it be able to do it just on the desktop (I don't wan

than again, it could be your configuration and WB/Illustrator - I found a few posts concerning Adobe products (just not real recent and few & far between) Yes, I am aware of a few minor compatibility issues with Adobe, but it was never a problem with WB 5.0. Besides all the white edges, etc. are throughout, not just in Adobe apps.

Let me provide a little more detail about what I did, just so we're all clear: I was running WB 5.0, which I installed originally via SDC. It was not a trial version. I uninstalled it using "add/remove programs", re-booted, and then checked in "Program Files" to see if there were any remnants of it left (can't remember if there were, but if there were, I deleted them). I then installed WB 5.1 using SDC. I don't know if that will change any of the advic

I know I used SDC to obtain the update and run it. However, I didn't uninstall WB 5.0 using SDC. Do you think that may have made a difference?

Bichur- It may well be that Illustrator CS2 has a problem with WB 5.1, wheras it didn't with WB 5.0. However, I have never had any problems with skins, per-pixel or otherwise, until I upgraded to 5.1. Lantec- some seem worse than others when it comes to the ghosting and white edges, but the missing title bar happens with all skins. Zubaz- Water under the bridge. I was feeling a bit frustrated that day, so I didn't examine the comments to see that one had been posted by Han

Okay, I said I wasn't going to bother anyone about this, but since Bichur was kind enough to ask a question... Anyway, no I don't use WindowsFX. Nothing about my system has changed since I switched from WB 5.0 to 5.1. I'm thinking maybe I just ought to uninstall WB completely and reinstall v. 5.0. It did fine for me. Thanks for the help.

Reply to WB 5.1 quirks in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

If this is *MY* problem, then why did this only start happening after installing WB 5.1? Just a huge coincidence? WB 5.0 worked just fine, and now I wish I hadn't updated. As for the "rude" comment, I apologize if anyone was offended. I did not see Hankers comment before posting it. I was thinking that no one was commenting after 4 hours, in which case it was pretty pointless! At any rate, I will see what I can do about the problem through other channels. I will bother you no more on this issue.

Well, this is pretty pointless.

Hello? Anyone out there?

er, I meant to say the problem with Illustrator appeared right after I started using WB 5.1!

WB 5.1 quirks in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

Ever since I upgraded from WB 5.0 to 5.1 I've been experiencing a host of minor problems. It seems that after I restart my machine, I have unload WB to reapply any skin I'm using (it doesn't matter which skin it is) because some elements are buggy. For instance, the start button is a white square and there are little white ghost lines around open windows. Sometimes I have to reapply the skin several times to get it to render correctly. Another problem deals with Illustrator CS2 (v.

Restarts - Ok, so the Windows Kernel can not load/unload sections at a time. It's monolithic. So is Linux. Mach is a microkernel. Wow, that just means so little. Windows only needs restarting when its kernel crashes. Here's the problem - ignorant users who assume a program locking up makes for a mandatory restart. The pinwheel-of

If it helps, I haven't noticed any problems with WindowBlinds slowing down my system. I was reluctant to use it at first, but I'm very happy I purchased it.

Anyone having trouble clicking on "my account"? It doesn't work for me. I put in an e-mail to Stardock Tech support, so, if previous experience is a guide, it should be about 4-5 days before I hear back. Anyway, none of this is a huge deal...it all started because of one particular skin I wanted to use that wasn't working well.

Here's another weird thing...I tried to log out and start over, to see if that made any difference, but I can't even do that.

I've been having some problems not only with Stardock Central, but also with the WB site. When I click on "my account" nothing happens. It doesn't show up as a link when I mouse-over. Sounds like a job for WB tech support?

Hmmm...I went to Tools/check for application updates, checked the box for the WindowBlinds update and then clicked on the "update now" button...but nothing happened. I've had some trouble with Stardock Central before.
