One thing I really dislike about this piece of software is that non Object Desktop software doesn't show up in it.

SDC shows CursorFX and Object Dock, why doesn't this ODM app?

Quoting RedneckDude, reply 6I have a problem. Now that things have changed in the SD Store. My info there says my ODNT sub expires in 51 days. I am good until Dec. 2016. Can someone fix/explain this please?

You really need to contact support@stardock.com for issues relating to your account.

Done.

Any app you own as part of ObjectDesktop uses the same ObjectDesktop serial number and always has done.

As it happens there is no need for the serial number as you should not be using it during product activation at all in anything recent.

Thank you Neil. Excuse an old guy as I don't always see everything.

Will Deskscapes8 work on Win7 or do I need to get 3?

OK - it sounds interesting but I'm not sure if I should uninstall Stardock Central and then install the Object Desktop Manager.

One of my issues with Stardock has been they aren't always clear regarding the use of one program over another. Sometimes they issue programs that appear to do the same thing (for example Theme Manager and My Colors) and then discontinue one without indicating the compatibility issues between the products. I'm afraid to remove SDC for ODM and then not be notified about programs that are NOT part of Object Desktop (like ObjectDock and CursorFX) that I also own.

It would be helpful if Stardock would occasionally put out a list of what programs are part of Object Desktop, which ones have been discontinued and what programs are standalone and not included with the OD subscription. I've been an subscriber of OD since the OS/2 days and I get confused.

All the current apps for Object Desktop can always be found at it's website.

CursorFX and ObjectDock have never been a part of Object Desktop, and I don't believe that will change. If it ever does they would obviously be added to the supported apps.

Understood, but it'd be nice if the other apps would show up in the updater like they do in SDC. You know, continuing to get all my apps in the same place would be nice.

I installed Deskscapes on my laptop because of a Dream by Amitsaran called Uranus. It is so cool but it pushed my cpu way up there, 70%. No biggie as I let it run for a bit then changed it to one that came with Deskscapes, cpu dropped back down to less that 8%. Normal for me. Anyway I did uninstall SDC and noticed ODM listed all of my installed programs just like SDC plus the ones available and the GUI is much nicer looking. To say I'm impressed would be putting it mildly. IMO...ODM is what Theme Manager was supposed to be and it works so a big to the devs at Stardock. You guys rock!
