XP + Deskscapes 3 + Dual Monitors in DeskScapes Stardock Forums

Hi, Open Deskscapes 3 and it is locked into one of my monitors, can't drag it to the other one. This is unlike any other app I have. Only applies a dream to this one monitor. Those dreams which offer stretch over monitors option have the option greyed out. When I 'Disable Deskscapes' it does not restore my own dual monitor background image correctly, it puts a copy on each monitor. The correct display option to restore for me would be 'Tiled' not 'stretch'. Ian

keystrokes in Keyboard LaunchPad Stardock Forums

How do I embed keystrokes, it seems so fundamental and yet I can't work out how. Ok I can see I can use clipboard to do simple things but how about filling a form in with a need to tab between each field?

It's on the left side of my primary monitor. The change to shortcut setting is not appropriate, that does something else which I don't want anyway. I did try it just to check tho Ian

Transparency controller gadget ? in DesktopX Stardock Forums

Is it possible to create a DX object that watches out for a particular app starting and sets that apps transparency like using a button on some WB skins.? I just want to always run a particular app semi-transparent. Thanks Ian

Per Application Transparency in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

Hi Is it possible to configure WB to make one of my apps always run with transparency set? Like the exclusion facility but the opposite maybe? Thanks Ian

Reply to Tell us what you'd like to see in Object Desktop in Wish Lists Stardock Forums

Here's my pennyworth.. Right Click to work with MS Office, some sort of ability to set transparency to windows background rather than to windows below, so background can be seen regardless of the number of apps overlaid, more robust WFX - works fine for a few hours, but I run for days without a reboot and it all goes pear shaped and needs unloading leaving a mess. DesktopX things that can be seen through transparency in the top-most app - like my request above for Desktop background -

Transparency enhancement request in Wish Lists Stardock Forums

Found a really cool effect using Windows FX and would like you guys at Stardock to consider putting it into one of your products so everyone can have it. The effect I have found is: I use Microsoft Terminal Services to link to other machines to support them. I set mstsc.ece to be partially transparent in WFx and it works fine, I can see own my local windows background through the MSTSC screen. But the really nice side effect is that as I use the remote computer it doesn't matter how many apps/wi

Stardock Central in Life, the Universe and Everything Stardock Forums

Can you guys at Stardock give this a little tweak or two please. The right click 'Create a new thread' (in the left list) doesn't work. The top level drop-down selection in 'create a new post' doesn't include 'stardock applications' just games. ObjectDock appears under 'Wincustomise' ?! So the organisation of messages portrayed on the left of the screen doesn't match the choices in the message creation. Thx. Keep up the good work.

Is there a way to make an item in a dock into something you can drop a file onto.?? I want to drop a file into a folder. I can see that applications and the recycle bin work but not folders. Thx Ian

Recent Documents DLL in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

Since ODP doesn't have a 'recent documents' feature, is it possible for someone to create one? Features like, number of entries to show and order of the items would be desirable, but just a list of that last 15 files would be a start to match up to standard Windows XP. I see there are a few user created DLLs providing extra functions. Is what is required to create one for ODP documented anywhere ? Thx Ian

Reply to Tabs in Object Dock in ObjectDock Stardock Forums

Glad you worked it out that they meant no. I find the mouse over the tabs very annoying not just in your context cos if you aren't careful as you approach a docked tab it flies out just as you prepare to click it.

Reply to My OD Wish List in ObjectDock Stardock Forums

Hmmm, technically you are dead right, but on the Windows Start Menu you get the last 15 items. This would translate nicely into a fly-out menu. But the real 'Recent' folder contains much older stuff and forces a fly-out back into a menu cos there are too many. So I see a need for a specific dock entry to be listed in the ODP menu. Anyone help? <

Reply to My OD Wish List in ObjectDock Stardock Forums

Am I blind and can't see it... 1) Can we have a 'recent documents' item? 2) How do those of us who liked Media Player in the tray get an equivalent when the regular bar is hidden? Ian using ODP 1.5

Reply to Allways on top, not working right in ObjectDock Stardock Forums

I can cause this to happen reliably as follows on my rig: 1) Have two monitors operating as one, 2) Bring up remote desktop in full screen mode on one monitor. 3) Docks to show tabs when docked. I have a docklet on each monitor. 4) put an app on the unused monitor so that there is room to see the dock rise but the dock overlaps the app window. - ie you can clearly see if it is on top or not. 5) Now activate this dock in the non remote desktop window, it comes up on top. Now quickly move to the r

Expired Beta in WindowFX WinCustomize Forums

Hi I was under the impression that when my OD subscription ran out I was meant to be able to run any of the products I had downloaded up to that date. Well Windows FX 3 has stopped working for me, it says this build of Windows FX 3 has expired..... Is this an oversight by you guys at Stardock or what? Ian

Reply to Enhanced Dialog and Microsft Word, Excel in Enh Dialog WinCustomize Forums

Hi, u say Office can't work with Enhanced Dialog, but in the History there is a tempting note at release 0.89 which says... Internal work to hopefully be able to force Office dialogs to work in a future build. Is this dream a total no-no? What will Office 2007 bring ? Compatibility or more disappointment? Ian
