So with Hyperdesk just around the corner, is this finally some competition for WindowBlinds?  How well will TSF and Stardock play together?  I know TSF used to contribute here, but they don't show up much anymore, at least with content.  I'm anxiously awaiting the release and can't wait to see DarkMatter.  Hurry up Jeff. ;) 

What are your thoughts?

 

*UPDATE:  Hyperdesk is live.  Go check it out and leave your constructive  comments about it here.  (Notice I didn't say "only leave your good comments or bash it".  Constructive comments can be positive or negative but should be supported with facts.)

A quality product was definitely needed for users who wish to continue use the .msstyles format and stay with Windows XP

I use it Zubaz, but it is not perfect yet either. I mentioned a few problems to Neil a few weeks ago that I hope get cleared up soon.

It was formatted Bebi, but like many things here at the WC forums, some things just do not work right all the time.

Yeah I had a feeling. I never have a problem through FF though, I think it's an issue with sdc/impulse/wcbrowser, whatever.

And seriously now.....who the hell doesn't "Hype" they're stuff around here?


I upload my stuff on here , and you can ask around. I'm the last guy to hype my own stuff.

Most people on here probably have heard me utter

"I'm not a skinner , I just play one on the Internet" at one time or another.

I used my best judgment to add some breaks.  Sorry for any scrambling of facts.  Corrections available on request (PM).  :)

Nice. Who changed the graphic?

They probably just replaced the image on their server without renaming it (my guess). That is unless one of the sneaky mods did it.

It's also been around A LOT longer, if HyperDesk was around for the amount of time lets say ThemeManager was then they'd have thousands to choose from as well.

Wrong. The two are very different. Hyperdesk is about buying themes from the Skins Factory. Object Desktop is about enabling users to apply stuff made by anyone.

Even if it were an apt comparison, it would still not matter. One has 1000s of free themes and the other has 1.

A better comparison would be Mycolors and Hyperdesk.

And seriously now.....who the hell doesn't "Hype" they're stuff around here? And I don't mean just WC or Stardock. Everyone always thinks/claims they have the next best thing.


Please show me an instance of someone hyping their unrelease skins for a year before release? The more you hype, the better you have to deliver.

How is that wrong? You are comparing one program thats been around for YEARS to another program thats been around for what... a week?

Even if you where to compare the two, how much longer has MyColors been around?

I dont hear any complaining about Stardock products,


you should read the comments after every mycolors theme release. complaints that there's 'only' 100 icons or complaints that they think there should be more gadgets. from what i see, hyperdesk is getting off easy.

I think SOME people around here are forgetting all the things the CEO of Skins Factory has publicly said over the past year such as how Stardock has no QA, how Stardock's artists suck, how buggy WindowBlinds is, how ugly MyColors themes are, and so on.

So after almost a year of that Hyperdesk finally comes out and it turns out to be a handful of icons, a media player and an msstyle file. Hyperdesk wasn't just hyped up for a year, it tore down others while it was trying to build itself out. The WinMatrix threads were very telling. Their CEO deleted most of his more offensive comments but there's still enough here and there.
