Well. My face is officially red. I'm embarrassed I had something wrong about MS's Support policy, apparently. An article in Infopackets,  corrected my misapprehension. This is pretty much for folks who cannot (hardware reason: TPM) or don't wish to upgrade to W11 from W10 for whatever reason. MS (without you joining the Extended Service Program) will stop all Support for W10 on 10.25.25 ( WindowsCentral) . Everyone was overjoyed when MS announced it would continue support for W1...

I just released a unique new Premium Windowblinds theme for Windows 10 and 11 called Lucid on my site.

Go ahead and have a look, I know everyone will absolutely love it, and thanks for your continued support of my site! Lucid – LightStar Design   This one is definitely different. Let me know what you think!

    This is very hard to relate to you. I'll try to do it as factually as I can, but that will be difficult, as Nikos was a friend, as he was to many here at WinCustomize and Stardock. I should say that I haven't found a public document concerning his passing, so I'm relying on emails I received from his widow. I sent an inquiry and learned through his widow, Mrs. Adamamas, that he passed away suddenly and unexpectedly about a month ago.  I don't know what took o...

Let’s start with where things currently stand at Stardock in our remastering and reimagining of Elemental. We have ported the underlying engine and code base to 64-bit. We have upgraded the graphics engine to DirectX 11. We have brought over the Dynasty system from War of Magic (yes, this game had full on families, dynasties, and magical breeding). We have brought over the crafting system and global inventory from Sorcerer King. We have reexported the original textures at m...

Once upon a time… In 2008, right after we released Galactic Civilizations II and Sins of a Solar Empire , we at Stardock felt pretty good about ourselves. We had assembled an amazing team of people that could make amazing games and we thought there was nothing we couldn’t do. Hubris attracts Nemesis. With space conquered, we set our eyes on making Fantasy Civilizations. It would be half Master of Magic and half what we had learned from making Sins and GalCiv. The game would be...

Suddenly today Deskscapes tells me it is deactivated. when I try to reactivate it tells me its already activated on another computer and I have to buy another license, or it will quit working in 5 days. I've had an Object Desktop subscription for probably 15 years and Deskscapes is on another of my computers and 1 laptop. How come all of a Suden it's a problem. I would appreciate someone looking into this and getting it fixed.

I joined and used it for over a week. It was easy to use and everything I tried worked. You can delete your posts, comments and likes if you want to. It said join the conversation so I did but I had no conversation, I got a few likes. I was followed by a couple bots and you can block them. It has many settings, some that default if you delete your cookie, I found that lame. I posted a small picture, it was blown up really big so only post 1080x1080, big pictures they will reduc...

Windows has bloatware. Lots of it, too. That's no secret. Because of it, W11 is slower than it could/should be without it. "Winhance 5 (the latest version) allows you access to install or uninstall software which comes packaged with the OS: Edge, Recall, OneDrive, CoPilot as well as the ability to install other apps and packages directly from the app. You can choose from the Browsers, utilities, document viewers, and basically anything you want to install/manage or uninstall from the s...

There are a lot of ways we can improve our health supposedly. We are trying to get rid of red dye, plastic bags, burning oil etc. Go into a home improvement store and find the herbicide and pesticide section. When you get there breath deep and you will smell it. If we want better health maybe we should stop using herbicides and pesticides and find natural solutions to pests and weeds. Predators that eat them. A healthy environment could improve our health.
