We have a large wallpaper gallery here and since we've been focusing on getting more content added, I was wondering how you use some of these.

On most of my mobile devices I typically just use a photo from my photo album, but I have used downloaded wallpapers before.

We are rapidly approaching October, and that means it's getting closer to Halloween!

This week's community question is focusing on desktop skinning, WindowBlinds in particular!

Starting off with a good WindowBlinds  skin is a great foundation to build on. Fall Color is a beautiful Window...

Fall official starts tomorrow! Hopefully, this means some cooler weather will be headed our way. Although we don't the seasonal color changing down here, I'd love to see some pics from our community who do get to see it. Otherwise, some of us must be happy with just seeing seasonal colors on the desktop, and that's what todays post is about. Here's some static and animated wallpapers for the new season!

Since the beginning of COVID, webcams have been hard to come by as vast amounts of people starting both working from home and having school at home. Webcams sold out for months and it seems they are just now slowly coming back in stock.  If you have a Sony camera such as a RX100 or an A-series camera, you can now easily use them as a webcam without any additional hardware. Sony released the Imaging Edge Webcam application for free so if you have a Sony camera, be sure to grab it. htt...
