Hi Hankers;
Thanks for the reply.
The forums are mainly user supported and if you have a complaint you should email support@stardock.com and they will assist you.
Sorry, I thought THIS was Stardock Support as this thread is under a titled called
Stardock Support.
I got an e-mail from Stardock last February about Impulse and have been looking for it for months. I downloaded Impulse last month and was not too impressed; thought it was going to do much more (according to the e-mail). It seems to be currently aimed at
Impulse buying and not for the power user (at least in the short term). I do hope it becomes much more powerful and eventually replaces SD Central as Central is showing its age.
Anyway, I have downloaded many times directly from the web site but have TWO problems when doing so…
1: I have noticed that some Wallpapers that show up on Stardock Central are not available when doing a direct web site download with a browser. Yes, I know that sounds totally nuts but have seen this too many times to ignore. I at first thought that it was a sorting problem so I very carefully sorted both WinCustomize wallpaper download site and Stardock Central to make absolutely sure that they were both in sync. Same problem!. As I had both WinCustomize wallpaper site and Stardock Central on the screen at the same time I could see missing wallpapers on the web site that were clearly showing (and very downloadable) from Stardock central. I think that somehow my WinCustomize account is not being picked up on the web site but is with Stardock Central.
2: I do not like the way previews are handled on the web site. The
Large Preview screen in Stardock Central is much faster, cleaner and easier to use with fewer steps needed to get a preview image as it I up all the time and automatically loads any selected wallpaper or skin that I have selected. I only wish it was built into Stardock Central and not a separate screen that has to be re-sized and moved around to get just right.
Thanks;
Doc
