Problem with WinCustomize Browser
Thursday, October 9, 2003 by niccos | Discussion: Stardock Software
I dont see anyhting in the drop down lists to download themes or anything, and when I looked at the ini files it down loaded, it was full of 404 errors. Whats wrong with this?

ok, please don't confuse this with a criticism. i too have been unable to view any skins or themes for the last 4/5 days. i understand there has been significant upheaval with the moving of the site and accept this.
however having uninstalled and reinstalled winbrowser (as well as re-subscribing my object dock account and upgrading the software) and still not being able to view any of the skins or themes i don't know whether it is me or the wincustomize site itself. is it possible to be kept up to date with what is going on?

#1- you should be able to go to www.wincustonize.com (using IE) and get whatever skin you want.......
#2- try this...I posted it yesterday and am too lazy to re-type :
Some (or all) may have to 'refresh skins database' in both SDC and WC Browser separately and then hit 'refresh site updates'. After update close whatever browser that you're using (close it while on the 'Skins and Themes' page) and then restart the Browser. If they're not showing the icons on re-open hit the 'refresh site updates' again. It takes a little playing around with, but they are there and it does work.
Let us know if that works...

thank you yrag - i tried what you suggested -refreshed the skins database - selected refresh site updates, closed the browser, re-opened it again (which refreshed the database again), and the libraries appeared. which is nice.

Back up and running w/the WC Browser... Although, during the down time (when the browser wouldn't function) I could access WC content w/StarDock Central...
Uninstalled and reinstalled both the WC Browser and the WC Tray...
Sigh, Back to business
