Alienguise question
Sunday, February 24, 2008 by bobraymund | Discussion: Stardock Support General
Hi all,
Well, I recently heard about AlienGUIse, so decided to download it, but before using it I looked around the internet and heard quite a few people have had major problems with it.
So, my first question is: How risky is it to use it and can it cause some major problems? How can I avoid these?
Second question: Do I need anything else downloaded and installed on my computer before I install a theme from AlienGUIse?
Thanks in advance,
Bob

It'll work. However, it works best when you tell it to set a restore point. Get into the habit of doing this before any majot install and you'll have a lot fewer problems. It's all PMCS, man.

Try using safemode if that fails the other two options is contact stardock support or if your familiar with the registry just delete the program files & the registry entries or a more safer method would be delete the prog files & use ccleaner to deal to the registry entries.I don't recall any problems uninstalling alienguise or the other alien themes that are on that site,my guess is you have a wonky computer.

The only bad thing about AlienGUIse is that the SD proggies it uses are older. I think it uses WB 4-ish.......

Is there anything preventing ODNT and OD+ users from picking and choosing from the various themes' bits?
Gotta say, on my system, it all looks great. AlienGUIse's WB and IP themes, the "Invader" media player skin, the mini-Object Dock, plus various OD+ and DesktopX objects combine to look incredible on here, and they all play nicely with each other.

I think it is till WB5 Killajosh. However as support I can tell you we get alot of cross issues since this is an older version.
DonDodds seems to be lucky and shouldn't breathe on his desktop just in case. I am really glad it is working for him though. In most cases we instruct people to remove current Stardock skinning software so they don't conflict. With really strange video cards we often tell them to roll back drivers.

The existing alienguise build is probably based on WB 4.6 though depending on release date it might be 4.5 based.

Yowch. In that case, I will go ahead and lift out the various bits I want and run them through my current programs (whatever those may be). That's okay as long as I don't redistribute, right?
