Yep Stardock, im afraid to say that im slowly leaving you..........(not that its a massive deal to you guys)  ive been using your site for about 5 years now, and it just aint what it used to be. Paying for recoloured icons, average windowblinds, and to top it off, Icon Packager ALWAYS goes haywire, even on 4 computers, all various versions, and that still cant get right (icons always change to something else after applying package, or adding an icon yourself) Windowblinds borders not working properly, since version 6, My Colors.....well, where do i start, completley messes a system up with Windowblinds, to the point of unistall, re-install.... and you guys know this, but you still use the installer whatever. I truly belive not enough effort is made to fix these issues, instead you keep bringing out new products, without the proper support for these. (also had Natural Desktop a couple of years ago, and that also causes problems)

 

I notice other peoples comments the past couple of months, and i dont think im the only one. It almost seems like to much of a business now, the "raw" feeling of a couple of years ago has well and truly gone. Probably a sign of the times i guess. So, thx for a great lesson in customization, but i for one will not be renewing my subscription, but will be a casual user instead.

This is the stuff I'm talking about. Nothing will ever be done by saing "IconPackager is broken." because clearly for the most part it isn't. This applies to any Object Desktop application. In my opinion this is polluting these forums to the point that no new user would want to even try these customization apps, because of the numerous "It doesn't work, this app is broke. Stardock needs to fix it." posts. Like I said above:

umm.. who are you again? and why after 0 posts and 2 comments do you consider yourself the Stardock forum saviour??

 

There are posts about issues with IP... it's still broke, Ive been using it for 5 years, I think I know what works and what doesn't on my own system and the PC's friends.

If my description of the issue isn't good enough for you, tough crap. Take your 'not really caring' attitude elsewhere if you don't like it mate.

 

I'll still continue to use it btw.

I think it may be a good idea to cool it down a bit.  Thank you.

I agree that the generic "It's broke" posts really grind my gears, but this one has gone on enough.  Locked.
