Display Properties and IconX

Wednesday, January 7, 2004 by dowkeruk | Discussion: Stardock Software

I have two problems.
I have full Objectdesktop registration and am running XP Home.

(1) I cannot Save a preset setting in IconX. The button has no
effect.
(2) Display Properties complains I have the Shareware version
(I don't) eg on pressing Subdesign button.

I didn't think it gave (at least mine doesn't) the version in Display Properties. Before we attempt to do a complete WB un-install, do you have 'premium' skin 'Carbonix' installed? You're a WC subscriber so you should. Load it and tell me what happens.

I cannot find Carbonix. I seem to recall it earlier
but it's not there now.

In Display Properties on the Appearance tab
when I press the Subdesign button a pop-up
appears saying not available on shareware

All the skin folders in /stardock/windowblinds/
are empty of .wba files. All I have are the skins
I downloaded to a different folder.

Sorry mate...had to run an errand...forget Carbonix..that was one I bought (my memory is shot). We're going to completely un-install WB. I want you to un-install it thru SDC and then go to C:\Program Files\Stardock\Object Desktop\WindowBlinds and delete that folder (it appears you have no skins to save, but if you do move them to a temp folder). Re-boot and open SDC and re-install WB.
BTW: while you're in Program Files....make certain there is not more then one WB folder. You should only have two 'Main' Stardock Folders w/ various proggie folders in them
C:\Program Files\Stardock & C:\Program Files\WinCustomize

Success regarding WindowBlinds. Thanks!
It installed with only Aquarium skin but this seems
fine, and the display properties work OK.

Now there is still the problem that Save preset in
IconX doesn't work!!

Still a problem (?) with toolbars in WB.
Previously in say IE the buttons at the top
were skinned (replaced) using Apollo. Now they are not.
Also the shut down pop-up is now unskinned.
Maybe I'm making some error. Also the download
`completion' bar at the bottom of IE is not changed.
In Apollo it should be a set of small red blobs.

Play with the settings in WB Config and see if that corrects the problem. I don't use desktop icons nor Icon x, but I know they had a problem in earlier versions of it not saving. It may well still suffer from it. It's still in beta so you may have to endure it for a bit. Make sure your version of DX is 2.09[b].002

OK. Many thanks for your time and help. I will transfer any
skinning problems to the skinning discussion.
