Reply to Does anyone use Desktop Sidebar? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Aqua... I downloaded Desktop Sidebar yesterday and it interfaced with my version of Outlook XP (2002). I have all of my gradkids birthdays listed in the Outlook calandar and the Desktop Sidebar shows them without me doing any configuring at all with it. I have to assume that in order for it to interface with your system, you have to have been using it?? <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/sb.gif" border=0

Reply to I need help with Abracadabra! in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I have rainlendar installed to F:\Programs\Rainlendar I have had no problem with the Abracadabra suite other then the object bar not working at first (and I think that had nothing to do with Abracadabra suite). Just adding my two cents. I use WinXP Pro on an Intel Pentium 4 Processor 2.8GHz w/1 gig of memory and a 120 gig hard drive partition into 4 equal parts. Also have the 128MB NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti-4600G with TV Out. The only suite I've ever had any real problem with

It would be my guess that it is something particular or parcular about your system OC. I also downloaded the Abracadabra suite Sunday. I didn't have any real problem with it. (It did take me some tweaking to get the Object Bar portion at the bottom at my screen to work correctely)I tried it for a while and it is a nice suite. I prefer PixOS though and eventually reverted back to it. (PixOS is awesome and it will be a while before Pixtudio or anyone else for that matter will be able to top it.) H

Attn: WOM, A bit off topic but I lost the original thread that you commented about this, so I am asking you directly. What did you do when you discovered that you were having Stardock Central putting your themes in on place and Component Manager putting them in another? I tried to just copy (as opposed to move)all the themes (and all other ObjectDesktop programs) in to one program location on my partitioned hard drive with the idea of later deleting the others when I understood which locatio

Skinner Styl skinner I use MusicMatch also. Great program. But lately I've been using Windows Media Player 9.something. With the Windows Media Edition Plus added. Also use WinAmp 2.8 and version 3. Music is my main thing.

Hey Jafo how about if for every 10 or 20 ratings that anyone gives, they get say a point added to there own record of of "contributing to the wincustomize site" and after so many points they receive some sort of recoginition like maybe some inexpensive software program, or whatever? If you set the bar high enough maybe even some other sort of prize that will induce more people to rate? Just a thought to ponder. <img src

Ms. Delicious, after reading my humble opinion in print above, I came to the conclusion that it is none of my business about what drives you. It was a quick impulsive reaction to your editorial. Please ignore it. I can see why things stated in "print" are far more harsh than people (myself) really intended them to be. If I had been "Talking" to you instead of "writting" to you, it would have been much easier to explain what was going through my mind. /me thinks that in the final judgeme

Reply to Sally's editorial on ratings in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I agree with your opinion comment for your thread. Satisfaction should come from "within" and not from "without". Rating's will not make you a better or worse person. If I had even 1/10 of your talent I would be more then content. Of course "content" people never become world leaders or worry what other people think of them. When you mix ambition with creativity; i.e. the artist who worries about who the Boss is; then you will forever be beating your head against the wall. As the song s

Thanks BoXXi, it took a long time for me to learn all of that on my own and I still wasn't aware of how the "Hide Explorer Taskbar" worked completely.

I am very bias towards ObjectDesktop but IMHO it is the best buy/bargan on this site because it contains pretty near all of the programs necessary to implement the various things available via this site. As Mikey would say: "Try it, you'll like it!" I don't know how much talent you possess to make all of these changes to your system but I-Candy aside the applets are also very handy and productive. Like a desktop object that looks like an icon but actually ties back to your email program and lets

Oh and BTW Princess, you can always add your own background (wall) and then add all the little nifty gadgets (desktop objects--primarly from DesktopX) and from ObjectBar in to your "female" background. Or you could try the desktop my wife uses. I can't remember the exact name of it but it is somewhere on the WinCustomize site. It is a Victorian design and uses a basket with roses in it to notify you if new email has arrived. I'm sure that if anyone else who reads this message knows how to make a

I am the seventh son of the seventh son (I can look in the sky and predict the rain, I can tell if my woman is with another man, etc. etc.) At any rate my father came over from Ireland and he tells me that there are more Gumbleton's in Ireland then Smiths in Detroit. Somehow I really doubt the validity of that statement but it did make my dad happy to say it as often as he could. I've never been to Ireland but my oldest brother travels quite often and he was there and told me that there is a "Pu
