I'd like to use rightclick...aa attractive appearing work saver is always a plus....after downloading the desired skin, how do you apply it? How do you switch skins in this application. fairyy's Vienna looks really nice, by the way.

I have no idea how to use right click so I never use it.

I use them together.
I occasionally go without OD+ just to see my taskbar on a new skin. I don't like it but I can deal with it. If for some reason I lost RightClick I'd probably have a nervous breakdown. It's my "CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT" program.

I have a problem, sometime after installing Right Click and a handful of skins, all the skins are now unpacked to the skins folder instead of making a separate folder for each skin (inside the skins folder).
Any thoughts on what went wrong?

I use Object Dock Plus, and have for a long time and have used Right Click off and on since it's release. I tend to go with applications that don't crash on a regular basis as RC does, at least on my systems, but ODP has been rock solid on both my XP and Vista 64 systems. Not sure I see the advantage of running both but if it would be stable, I can see how RC would have a very small advantage over ODP but only in the convenience category IMO.

If you set up RC properly you barely need your start menu or all programs menus.
Or you can just add your most used items to it. Im like Lantec - I could not live without the program at this point , its how I get around my computer - Id be lost .



Are you talking about skins you downloaded from the RightClick gallery ?
All the skins are zipped and you just unzip them to the RightClick skin folder. Once there each skin should automatically make its own folder and you will find the skins in the RightClick Menu Editor (Click on skins tab )

Are you saying that when you unzip the RC skin to RC skin folder your just getting a bunch of scattered files without a folder ? Can you be specific on which skins your referring to.

Without a doubt RC is the most useful of all Stardocks applications. If I were to try setting up OD with everything I have on my RC menu my screen would be covered with docks and icons and I still wouldnt have half of it.

Everything is just a rightclick away and no screen real estate is taken up. Now if the developers could just get RC to support png's everything would be perfect.

Thats why I asked him for more info - I've never come across a RC skin that didn't have a folder. I've downloaded many Rainlendars that did exactly what he said - you need to make your own folder with appropriate name then unzip to the folder you made or you end up with a bunch of loose files - so he can always make a folder in RightClick skins folder before unzipping.
Unless he is having an isolated problem.

Me too, and I think it's just the way it was packaged.

One thing I would like to bring up about RightClick .

I have noticed since the initial update of RC in September that was for the most part just to make RightClick Vista compatible that the downloads on all RightClick skins have dropped off by 75%. A RC skin associated with a windowblind would usually have a high download count. Now , most RC skins average around 200 or less since the middle of september.

The only 'probable' reason that I can see is that after the update if you did not leave RightClick program RUNNING during update - you lost your entire menu configuration.

A decent RightClick menu can take hours to set up in you add everything to it.

I suspect that is the reason for the lower downloads in RC gallery - too many may have lost their menus and just didn't bother to redo them again.

It would be a huge plus to the RightClick program if the next update included a " Save configuration " to avoid this issue.
Also - PNG support instead of BMP's and magic pink would be a huge added bonus and making skinning RC even more fun to skin.

The very least would be perhaps a little note in Stardock Central saying " Please leave RightClick running during update " to avoid this loss of configuration.

YES, YES, YES, I've been wishing this since I started doing them myself (not that long) but I've wondered why this doesn't support PNG. Not saying there aren't some great ones out here (buzz's Glass comes to mind) but it really limits the design with bmp/magicpink. Can someone in StarDock explain why it doesn't support png for me? Just wondering.
