The new Stardock Browser

Published on March 5, 2004 By Rednose In WinCustomize Talk

I thank you for all the work that must have gone into making this new browser. I give it a big thumbs up. Any one want to give their opinion?

I've always thought that it was the greatest thing since sliced bread

Well, I guess I'm not overly thrilled with the new browser. Maybe I just need to get used to it. It seems cluttered, and clumbsy. One thing that's sorely missing now, unless I'm missing something, is the ability to click on the preview image to get a full sized enlargement. The only way I can get that now is by going to the Wincustomize browser. I find this to be a pain in the a**. Also, is there a way to turn off the previews, so only showing would be a simple listing. Like maybe I don't want all these preview images to show, as I've already seen most of them. I know I can go to the most recent section, but even that would benefit from a listing-only screen, rather than always having to see every single preview. I have broadband, but this has got to be tough on those with dial-up.

Oh! it most certainly is dabe.

Thanks for speaking up for us

I love living in the country but I get so frustrated dealing with dial-up (24kbps) after having broadband for a couple of years when I lived in the city.

To see a large preview in the new SDC: Right-click on the skin or use Crtl+P

To change the way the library shows: click on the view menus button (just to the left of search button) you have four choices

Thank you, Essencay! I completely missed these options. I am now a very happy camper.

Hy_Rolr, you should also be very pleased now. Glad I could help.
