A site about-whatever.
I recently upgraded my Windowblinds purchase to an Object Desktop subscription, and have a question: what is the reason Stardock Central offers updates for both Theme Manager and Winstyles? Their own documentation states that Winstyles is now referred to as Theme Manager, yet both are offered for update. When I install Winstyles, I get a nice option to /"run Winstyles" which gives me great control over the whole of Object Desktop, but trying to run Theme Manager causes it to crash. The one time I updated Theme Manager and not Winstyles, I got only an extra tab in display properties/ eith no option for opening a "master control" type program as I had with Winstyles. If I had a choice, I would definitely prefer the control that the Winstyles program gives. Are they planning on moving away from Winstyles and to the simpler but less helpful Theme Manager/? If anyone could give me any info on why my Sysmetrix no longer updates the time,/ though I have not changed anything, I would appreciate it. And has anyone encountered a problem where /'s are continuously written in any textbox without the user doing anything? I scanned for viruses and trojans and nothing came up. I realize this has nothing to do with skinning, but I had to ask as it's driving me nuts! This post took me nearly twenty minutes as I had to keep deleting backslashes! Thanks guys!

You should be using Theme Manager (WinStyles is done) version 2.09.14 (since both WS and TM in your SDC show the same version, I'll tell you right now you're not using the correct version). As far as your clock, open SysMetrix config. and re-set the time server (make sure your system clock is correct). The slashes you're getting sound like a stuck or a cross assigned keyboard 'hot' key...start there.

Now if WinStyles would just quit wanting to update to 1.50b.014 when SDC is opened with ThemeManager 2.09.014 installed.............

I had it on my machine and the fields wouldn't populate. Followed the advice in the NG, didn't help. Then I couldn't uninstall it. I spent the better part of the morning uninstalling all of the programs, deleted the SDC folder and reinstalled everything.

That is why I am leary of the alpha/beta of SDC right now. Running the latest versions of everything else though.

Thanks,
Jeff
