Winsyles Help
Friday, February 28, 2003 by kona0197 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
So I finally reinstalled XP. Then I installed all my Stardock software. My windows now looks like a Mac. I had one question. If I don't like how DX sets up in Winsysles with the current suite can I change it? Also I got Moby bar and it works great but how do you get the thing to start up when windows starts? Or would DX do a better job with a different skin when it comes to the dock on the bottom of a wanna be OS X setup? (PS no apple logos here. I don't wish to have men in black suits knocking on my door.)

Tried it, but XP don't like it. Moby says it can not start cuz it is missing a .dll file. But then when I go and look for moby and start it from there, it works fine. I'm using mobybar 6.0 beta. Any other ideas?

It sounds like your copying the Moby application to your Startup folder rather than a shorcut to it. Right-click the program, choose Create shortcut, then drag that to your Startup folder.

I'm not sure what you mean there. Do you want to modify the WinStyles suite so it uses a different DX theme? If so, the easiest thing to do is just make your own Winstyles theme. First, set up your desktop the way you like it. Then, open the Winstyles Desktop Manager from the start menu and click on Create Theme. Then switch to the XP Theme screen and click the Use Current Desktop button. Now just save it and you've made you own theme that you can apply whenever you want.
