Firefox 3 Release & Stardock Site Compatibility
(Read More)

Firefox 3.0 goes final and is scheduled for release on Tuesday, June 17th.

There are currently known incompatibilities between Firefox 3 and many of our sites and forums. For the most part, the sites function properly, but have formatting issues. A specific example are the login & password fields to log into these forums. In Firefox 3, instead of both being on the same line, they are stacked vertically.

We will be addressing these visual issues in time. Please do NOT post threads on the forums pointing out Firefox 3 site issues. They will be deleted. We are aware of the problems and will work as quickly as we can to resolve them.

Until posted otherwise, the only version of Firefox our sites support at the moment is Firefox 2.

Quick Gallery

Easy way to preview my dreams

By TheMasterBaron Posted May 4, 2008 22:54:44External Link
I've been messing around with MS Silverlight and have uploaded a version of my gallery using it. It's a lot easier to preview my dreams using this site. It requires you to install Microsoft's Silverlight, and runs on either FF and IE.

Check it out here: http://wcgallery.mooo.com/

Let me know what you think!

Thanks,
Master Baron

For someone that is still on XP this was a great way for me to view your dreams. You have done some very nice stuff.   

This just leaves me with one question. Why can't a DX widget player be made to do this?

I've read very little about Silverlight. I don't think I have it downloaded, unless MS did it in one of the stealth downloads, hehehe, but I had no problem looking at your dreams.

Thanks everyone!

Actually, I just took the video turner from the gallery and fumbled around with it until I got my content into it.

That's pretty cool. Would I be a copy cat if I did mine?

As a mere end-user, I'd love to see a whole gallery of dreams like this. I was wondering what the hell I installed Silverlight for.(1st time I've used it in 3 months)What a great showcase. MasterBaron,you have a most incredible portfolio of dreams. Jaw dropping stuff! CarGuy1,I like your natural look. I just got Deskscapes, but I can see my library will be filled with a lot of both your
dreams.Thank you and keep up the fantastic work!     .

I'm using Vista Home Basic 32 bit with NO additional drivers or codecs installed. Silverlight runs fine here.Just go to the MS website and download.

Wow, Baron your Alien is awesome, expected to see the creature to come out of the spacecraft. Very nice and smooth scrolling of the video. Congrats on the best dream I have seen thus far.

Very slick Baron.  How long did it take to put that together?

Thanks again to everyone for the positive response.

Very slick Baron. How long did it take to put that together?

It only took an hour to figure this out once I got the video turner sample from the MS Silverlight gallery page. I'm a web developer by day, so reading the javascript wasn't a problem. I also know .NET so that helped with the silverlight parts. I just plugged in my videos and links, ran a batch conversion of my dreams to make lower quality WMV files and uploaded it to all to my site.

I'll be adding some more "fluff" to it when I have time so that it will have some links to my JoeUser and WinCustomize pages.
