Fences won't work on Win7 64Bit

CharlesCS — Sun, 27 May 2012 1:20:18 PM -0400

I just don't know what the deal is. I am using Fences Public and no matter what I do it continues to restart my explorer to the point of disabling Fences. Makes me wonder how well known this issue is considering there is a feature that disables it because of the fact that explorer crashes.

Can someone please help me out here. Fences is an awesome program and would really rather not uninstall it. I use to own the pro version but, Stardock rules about buying software are rather funny and th...

Question Re: Copyright and Use of Partial Image

Casperrr — Sun, 06 May 2012 11:26:00 PM -0400

HI

I would like to use a portion of a Magritte sculpture, "The Future of Statues".

Original: http://www.wikipaintings.org/en/rene-magritte/the-future-of-statues-1937

Below is a rough, foundation/first draft for a wallpaper/ Dream skin.

I'm uncertain if the portion of the original I would like to use violates copyright rules.

Of course I would credit the artist, but sometimes credit isn't the issue.

I'm certain I will get a clear answer here...

Task Panel to replace Task Bar

RogerCamp — Thu, 03 May 2012 8:49:33 AM -0400

For quite some time, i've been thinking about what a computer interface should be nowadays. There were many attempts to replace the old fashioned windows taskbar. I've tried many of them and to be honest, none was able to deliver a really better solution.
So far, the best option is the object dock, it's small but it doesn't bring many of the features we can find in the taskbar.

I believe most of us have already seen the new Windows 8 metro interface, although it gives the fle...

cursorxp vs cursorfx

Azdec — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 7:05:00 PM -0400

I have been thinking about getting CursorFX. I came to the forums to see if CursorFX can utilize CursorXP cursors. I have quite a few CursorXP themes and I was hoping that they played nice with CursorFX.

The reason I am posting here is I've read several posts from people who had bad things to say about CursorFX. But the posts I read were several years old. I was hoping to get the opinions of Forum readers on their current take on CursorXP versus CursorFX....

How Do You Organize Tabs in ObjectDock Plus?

Island Dog — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 9:49:00 AM -0400

I think I can safely say ObjectDock Plus is the app I have the most interaction with on the desktop. I say that because it’s how I launch most of the applications I use during a given day. I have some in the Windows 7 taskbar, but those are mostly browser and e-mail apps. Everything else is stuffed into tabs in ObjectDock which I organize by category.

For example, I have tabs for the games I play and another for my Adobe apps. Along with several others tabs.

CursorFX Keeps Disappearing

crotty09 — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 3:38:58 PM -0400

I don't seem to be having much luck with this program. Some months ago I installed it on my laptop but ended up having to uninstall it. Now I've a new desktop, Gateway all in one, and just recently bought and installed CursorFX and I keep having problems with it staying applied. Each time I turn on the computer I have to re-apply it and sometimes I become aware that, even with the computer staying on, it's gone again and I have to re-apply. Any help please? Thank you.

3D Software Thoughts

neone6 — Sat, 31 Mar 2012 10:55:21 AM -0400

Since I´m slowly taking my Graphics & skinning to the next level I´m more or less leaving Bryce for.......Carrara 8

I thought about 3d´s max , but Since Carrara is directly crossworking with Daz studio (Figure-poses etc) I decided to go with Carrara 8.

It is a Jungle of menues and parameters for Everything but I´m not afraid of the big bad wolf

Anyone got experience with Carrara or thoughts on this feel free to Jump in !

Suggestion for SDC

RedneckDude — Tue, 27 Mar 2012 3:04:16 PM -0400

Would it be possible to include an option in SDC to allow us to ignore certain updates?

I ask because SDC keeps nagging me to "update" an app I already have installed. It want's to update Object Dock 1.9 to 2.1 but I already have both installed.

Beyond this, I can see how the option would be useful for others too.
