Official "Hello I'm new to Aqua-Soft" Thread

Tue, 15 May 2012 05:26:16 +0000

Since I noticed these kinds of threads are popular among new members and at the same time, are frowned upon by our rules, i thought it would be best for both parties to have an official "Hello" thread where our new members could introduce themselves and at the same time, avoid breaking the rules.

I know we had a thread like this in the old days so i thought it would be worth a shot.

Respect the rules, contribute to the community, and you will see that not even certain evil mods will spoil the fun you will be having here.

Welcome to Aqua-Soft and enjoy your stay.

-----------------------

Good thinking, Unbe. I have been meaning to post such a thread but i had always forgotten

I would like to add that this thread is to be kept on topic (Hello Im new to aqua-soft related posts only). Any other posts will be deleted (like the 2 i just deleted).

Windows 7 Explorer -- How Do I Turn This Off

Fri, 11 May 2012 06:02:04 +0000

Hi,

I installed the mactheme for Windows7. The MacTheme was obtained from Windows7Themes.net . They suggest obtaining XWindowsDock. So I had this installed.

Question :
a) I see the dock in addition to the Windows 7 Quick Launch Bar. Is there some setting that automatically only shows me the XWindowsDock bar and disables the Windows 7 Quick Launch Bar ?
WHat is the recommendation for the Windows 7 icons on my Desktop ? Should I move them to the XWindowsDock ? Is there a setting that does this automatically ?

Thanks,
AS

You might want to use Tuneup Utilities for safety Now the Taskbar do you want the taskbar without the text?If u do
you must go to run and type in regedit(Registry Editor) Now Go to the following: "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\Windows Metrics"Now Add a new "string value" by right clicking the empty spaces in the registry editor now name it "MinWidth" then change the value to -255.Then ur done.Now if u want ur taskbar to look more alike like Windows 7 you gonna need to Download EnhanceMyVista get a free trial from here:"http://www.seriousbit.com/" Copy it and paste it in ur browser.Now Install it and open it now go to Customizations\taskbar and tick iconize ur taskbar.Now time for the Finishing touch!You might want the logon screen too. Download Stardock Logon Studio From stardock.com after that download The logon Screen by Pugalenthi now open the file then it will lock ur computer then u can have a preview of ur new Logon screen.

Now,Enjoy! I be making part two or maybe a mac one..

Does This Is A Bug?

Mon, 07 May 2012 12:53:22 +0000

Hello!

This is my first topic, so i am gonna have a little nervous
So, recently i am download and using XWindows Dock for docking my applications and others.
But, when i open an applications and then maximize it, XWindows Dock seems wanna a get my attentions by
always appearing while i typing in Notepad, or editing a pic in Adobe Photoshop, and more.
It will go away when i minimize the applications then maximize it.

Is it a bug?

Regards,

New* Xwindows Dock Crippling Memory Bug (50% Cpu Usage) Temporary Solution Found!)

Fri, 04 May 2012 08:39:52 +0000

Before I begin, I must say that this Dock is Legendary, the only reason why I have been able to endure this Bug is because This is the Greatest Dock I have ever used no doubt/

I am Madly In love with this Dock, even though I am running out of options, I respect the author too much to alter it for my own Good

switching to another dock would always make me feel like something is missing.

Type:

This is permanent bug, there is no On or Off switch, it will still eat CPU even after restart.

How was the Bug Formed?

This Bug Forms when I copy or Delete Huge amounts of Data (2Gs+),

Info: XWD v5.6+

Before: the dock was very efficient, 0% CPU Used on Idle, 10-20% Cpu when magnified
After: 39-50% CPU on Idle, and 50% CPu usage on magnify, meaning the memory is bugged

See photo in attachment

Solution: I've found a solution, but its a very inefficient and time consuming solution:

I have Created a new Windows user account and Opened XWD
within that user, and everything was working fine, the dock did not lag and used 0% CPU on idle.
meaning that this Bug is Appdata Related, Hkey Current User related, or mainly user related.

Other than Creating a new user account each time the bug occurs, I've been trouble shooting the cause:

I started the PC normally and opened XWD, and ended all application & 3rd party Processes leaving XWD running by itself along with

Important Windows Process like Svchost, Client Runtime, and Host Processes

I even ended Desktop Windows Manager, Explorer.exe and Search indexer in hopes of finding the True culprit with no luck

Next I used Advanced System Care to Run a full Scan on my Registry: 0 Problems Found!
I also did Defragment and found numerous problems but Defragment did not solve my issue

then I used Spyware Doctor to make sure that the Culprit wasn't some sort of Virus

The Only System Files that are altered are:

Imageres.dll
authui.dll
explorer.exe
explorerframe.exe

however this problem Occurred long before I began to Theme My Computer

The Only thing I can think of now is Running ComboFix.exe which has fixed many things for me in the past but its a risky Operation and is not worth it if it doesn't end up working.

Or Buying a computer with 8 Cores to make this Cpu bug insignificant...

I'm Positive that the Culprit is NOT XWindows Dock.exe, as the same file worked fine in another user.

Please Help Me Bring Justice to this Culprit!

If you are Kind Enough to Help, My XWindows Dock Log Files are always available Upon Request!

- "A stack/folder in the stack can not be opened if it contains the shortcut of deleted application" should work ?
- stack shortcut creation can be made in any folder ( instead of desktop folder only)

sorry for 64bit application, i can't compile standalone stack in 64bit because stack lib dll from Matonga is 32bit so i can't load it.
i will try another thing later...

( old version 2.0.6 can be found here :old 2.0.6 )
